Roy left in the third period of Tuesday's matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers and will miss Friday's game vs. Chicago after originally being a game-time decision. Roy has four points (3G / 1A) in seven games this season, averaging 15:04 time-on-ice per game.

Hill continued his early season run of dominance as he stopped 21 of 24 shots (.875 SV%) for his fourth-straight win in his previous start vs. Chicago and will take the Blackhawks on again Friday. The 27-year-old signed a fresh two-year, $9.8 million contract in the offseason after leading Vegas to its first-ever Stanley Cup and has not disappointed this season as he is 4-0-0 with a .934 SV% and a 1.73 GAA. He takes on the struggling Chicago Blackhawks, who have lost five of their last six games and are 30th in the NHL in goals for (2.0).

Samsonov will take the crease Saturday against Nashville after being pulled a week earlier vs. Tampa Bay after allowing three goals on four shots (.250 SV%) in his previous start. The 26-year-old is fighting for the starting position in the Maple Leafs' crease with Joseph Woll due to his slow start which has him with a 2-1-0 record, .831 SV% and a 4.34 GAA. He'll face the Nashville Predators on the road, who snapped a two-game winning streak with a loss to Vancouver last game and are 18th in the NHL in goals per game (2.86).

Roy left in the third period of Tuesday's matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers and will be a game-time decision for the Golden Knights' next game on Friday. Roy has four points (3G / 1A) in seven games this season, averaging 15:04 time-on-ice per game.

Schmid will return to the Devils' crease for his third start of the season after Vitek Vanecek got the nod in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Canadiens. Fantasy managers will be hoping for a strong performance from Schmid tonight after enduring a relatively slow start to the season. The 23-year-old netminder has stopped just 58 of the 65 shots he's faced this season, and has a 3.30 GAA to go along with a 1-0-1 record to show for it. New Jersey should provide plenty of goal support all season long, so there is still a lot of potential fantasy value to be had in Schmid if he can reclaim his form from the end of last season and challenge Vanecek for more starts.

Hagg signed a one-year, $775,000 deal with Anaheim in the offseason and has been recalled from San Deigo (AHL) for the first time this season. The 28-year-old is entering his eighth NHL season with his fifth team after putting up two goals, five assists, 26 PIMs, 40 SOG and a -5 plus/minus in 38 games with Detroit in 2022-23.

Hill stopped 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%) for his third-straight win in his last start vs. Dallas and will be between the pipes Saturday as Vegas takes on Chicago. The 27-year-old has been sensational to start the 2023-24 season, with his 3-0-0- record, 1.31 GAA and .951 SV%. He takes on the Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks, who have lost three of their last four contests and are 27th in the NHL in goals per game (2.2).

Schmid will make his second start of the season after surrendering three goals on 30 shots in last Friday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Coyotes. The 23-year-old netminder was fantastic down the stretch for the Devils last season, recording a .922 SV% and a 2.13 GAA in 18 appearances. He was even able to wrestle some starts away from starter Vitek Vanecek in the post-season, and could continue to see his usage grow if he's able to maintain the excellent form he's shown to date.

Samsonov will return to the starter's crease on Thursday after watching Joseph Woll allow three goals on 30 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday. Despite a perfect 2-0-0 record, Samsonov has been shaky in the Maple Leafs crease this season, posting a 4.42 GAA and .839 SV%. Samsonov will look to get his game back on track against a Florida Panthers team that has struggled out of the gate, being outscored 11-8 in their first three games (1-2-0). Last season, Samsonov recorded an excellent 1.44 GAA and .953 SV% in three games against the Panthers (2-0-1) before ultimately losing favour to Woll in the Maple Leafs' 4-1 series loss to them in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

After alternating between Hill and Logan Thompson in their first two games, the Golden Knights will turn to Hill for his second consecutive start. Hill has picked up where he left off in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, recording a stellar 1.01 GAA and .964 SV% in two starts this season (2-0-0). The defending Stanley Cup Champion Golden Knights have been remarkable as a whole, outscoring opponents 12-3 en route to a 3-0-0 start to the season. Tonight, however, they are slight +104 road underdogs in a rematch against the team they defeated in the Western Conference Finals, the Dallas Stars. The Stars are expected to welcome star center Roope Hintz into the lineup for his season debut.

Howden has served his suspension for two-games for an illegal check to the head on Seattle's Brandon Tanev and will return to Vegas' lineup Tuesday vs. Dallas. The 25-year-old forward had an assist, 15 PIMs and a SOG through 16 shifts and 11:57 TOI in his only game played this season. He is expected to return to his role on Vegas' fourth line alongside Nicolas Roy and Keegan Kolesar.

The 28-goal-man from last season is expected to be a healthy scratch Tuesday night after poor back-to-back performances to start the season. In two games, Olofsson has zero points, one shot, and a -2 plus/minus rating. Tyson Jost will enter the Sabres lineup as his replacement.
