After a quiet NHL slate on Friday, featuring only three contests, hockey fans have 12 games on Saturday. Furthermore, there's action for almost 12 hours, with the Calgary Flames and Philadelphia Flyers starting the day at 1:00 p.m. ET and the Ottawa Senators and Edmonton Oilers finishing the night at 10:00 p.m. ET.

Considering this is the last big day for NHL fantasy matchups this week, there are 24 potential starting goalies today, meaning managers will be busy scouting the news to make roster decisions throughout the afternoon. At the time of publication, only three NHL netminders have been confirmed today.
