After being recalled from Henderson (AHL) on Thursday, Saville backed up Logan Thompson. Jiri Patera took the night off after starting their previous game in Colorado and will likely return to backup duties in their next game unless Adin Hill is cleared to play. Saville has a .914 SV% and a 4-3-1 record with the Henderson Silver Knights this season.
Hart did not play in Philadelphia's 3-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday but will return to the crease on Friday for the third time in the last four games. Hart has been limited to only one win in his last six appearances (1-2-2), allowing four or more goals three times and posting a subpar .890 SV%. That said, Hart has a favourable matchup against a Minnesota Wild club that has scored only 12 total goals in their last seven games (1-6-0).
After being recalled from Henderson (AHL) earlier today, Saville will back-up Logan Thompson on Thursday. Jiri Patera will take the night off after starting last night's game in Colorado. Saville has a .914 SV% and a 4-3-1 record with the Henderson Silver Knights this season.
It's unclear whether this is just a depth move or if Rondbjerg has a legitimate chance of playing in Thursday's game against the Bruins. The right winger has one goal and two assists in six games with the Golden Knights this season.
Saville's recall casts some doubt on the status of both Logan Thompson (illness) and Adin Hill (undisclosed) for Thursday's game against the Bruins. Saville could very well get the start on Thursday if both are unable to go, considering Jiri Patera got the nod in Wednesday's 3-0 defeat in Colorado. Saville has a .914 SV% and a 4-3-1 record with the Henderson Silver Knights this season.
Cormier made his NHL debut on January 6th and appeared in two games, collecting one assist, for the Golden Knights before being reassigned to Henderson (AHL) on Thursday. The 21-year-old retunes to the Silver Knights, where he had a goal, 11 assists, and 20 PIMs in 27 games prior to his promotion.
Korczak's stay with Henderson (AHL) was very brief after he was recalled Thursday for Lukas Cormier after a five game showing with the Silver Knights.

The 28-year-old Hagg has spent the entirety of this season with the San Diego Gulls of the AHL, scoring four points (1G / 3A) in 22 games. He will make his season debut with the Ducks on Thursday skating on the third defensive pair with Ilya Lyubushkin.
After being confirmed to start earlier in the day, Hill was a surprise late scratch for Wednesday's game in Colorado, as it appears he's still not ready to return from his undisclosed injury. His next chance to return to the crease will be tomorrow night when the Golden Knights host the Bruins.
Korczak has not played since December 10th due to a lower-body injury and has been reassigned to the Henderson Silver Knights, where he has three points (0G / 3A) in five games this season. After re-acclimating himself to game speed in the AHL, he will likely find himself with the Golden Knights before long.
Hagg has earned his first call up of the season to the Ducks from San Diego (AHL) after collecting a goal, four points, 16 PIMs and a +7 plus/minus in 22 games to start the season. The 28-year-old shutdown defensemen appeared in 38 games with the Red Wings in 2022-23, picking up seven points (2G/5A) and 26 PIMs.
Hill has made one appearance (Dec 17th) since November 30th due to an undisclosed injury but is expected to travel with Vegas on their upcoming road trip to Colorado and has a chance to start Wednesday if he is feeling good to go. The 27-year-old Stanley Cup Champion was enjoying a Vezina worthy start to the season as he had a 10-2-2 record, 1.93 GAA and .933 SV% prior to his injury.
Hart will make a second consecutive start for the first time in nearly two weeks when the Flyers host their divisional rivals on Monday, the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hart has allowed five or more goals in two of his last four full games but is coming off a solid performance on the weekend, saving 22 of 24 shots (.917 SV%) in a 3-2 victory over the Calgary Flames. The Flyers went 2-0-0 against the Penguins in December but are +110 home underdogs against them on Monday night.

Louis Crevier will be a healthy scratch on Thursday, allowing Megna to make his Blackhawks debut after being claimed off of waivers from the Seattle Kraken on Wednesday.

He has 141 NHL games under his belt, tallying 25 points (4G / 21A) in time split between the Anaheim Ducks, San Jose Sharks, and Seattle.
Karlsson will miss at least the next two games as he tends to a lower-body injury.
