  • Lukas Dostal G | ANA

    Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Between pipes against Rangers

    Dostal will tend the twine on the road against the Rangers on Monday.

    Dostal returned from a nine-game absence due to an upper-body injury versus the Devils on Saturday, giving up three goals on 21 shots in a losing effort. The 25-year-old backstop will be looking for his first win since Nov. 22 versus Vegas when he clashes with the Rangers on Monday.

  • Kings' Darcy Kuemper: First goalie off Monday

    Kuemper was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Jared Shafran of LAKingsInsider.com reports, signaling that he'll draw the road start against Dallas.

    Kuemper has had some unlucky losses recently, as he's gone 3-2-3 with a 1.86 GAA and .934 save percentage over his last eight starts. He started on the road against the Stars on Oct. 23 and turned aside 29 of 31 shots (.935 save percentage) in an overtime win. The Stars are scoring 3.27 goals per game this year, which is the sixth-best mark in the league.

  • Joel Hofer G | STL

    Blues' Joel Hofer: Tending twine Monday

    Hofer will patrol the home crease against Nashville on Monday, Lou Korac of The Hockey News reports.

    Hofer is coming off a 27-save performance in Friday's 3-2 win over Chicago. He has a 5-6-2 record with two shutouts, a 3.10 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 17 appearances this season. Nashville ranks 26th in the league with 2.74 goals per game this campaign.

  • Juuse Saros G | NSH

    Predators' Juuse Saros: Defending road crease Monday

    Saros will tend the twine in Monday's road game against St. Louis, Max Herz of 102.5 The Game Nashville reports.

    Saros got the night off Saturday against Colorado, but he'll return to the crease Monday for the sixth time in the Predators' last seven games. He's been strong recently, going 5-1-0 with a 2.70 GAA and .917 save percentage over his last six starts. The 30-year-old drew a home start against the Blues on Thursday and allowed two goals on 26 shots (.923 save percentage) in a 7-2 victory.

  • Joseph Woll G | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Could return Tuesday

    Head coach Craig Berube said Monday that Woll (lower body) is a possibility to play Tuesday against Chicago, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

    Woll has missed the last four games due to his lower-body injury, but he could be activated off injured reserve ahead of Tuesday's matchup. The 27-year-old netminder was stellar leading up to his absence, as he went 3-1-0 with a 1.62 GAA and .950 save percentage over his last four starts.

  • Oilers' Tristan Jarry: Set to start Tuesday

    Jarry is expected to be between the pipes on the road against the Penguins on Tuesday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.

    Jarry will be squaring off with the Penguins just days after being traded away from Pittsburgh. With a win, the British Columbia native will have defeated all 32 NHL franchises in his career. In his Oilers debut, Jarry stopped 25 of 28 shots in a victory over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

  • Blackhawks' Laurent Brossoit: Set to land on waivers

    Brossoit will be placed on waivers Monday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Brossoit rejoined the Blackhawks on Monday following a conditioning stint with AHL Rockford, but head coach Jeff Blashill said that the netminder will be sent back to the minors if he clears waivers. Brossoit hasn't appeared in an NHL game since the 2023-24 campaign, but if he remains in the organization, he'll presumably be the first option to be called up if Chicago needs an additional goaltender.

  • Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Starting against Tampa Bay

    Bobrovsky will defend the road crease against Tampa Bay on Monday.

    Bobrovsky is coming off his third shutout win of the season Saturday in Dallas, and he'll attempt to carry his momentum against the Lightning, who are scoring 3.25 goals per game this year, which is tied for seventh in the league. Bobrovsky is in the midst of a three-game winning streak, during which he's allowed nine goals on 76 shots.

  • Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Racks up another win

    Bussi stopped 24 of 26 shots in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flyers.

    Bussi recorded his ninth straight win with another outstanding display, and this was also the third consecutive outing in which he posted a save percentage of .920 or higher. During this impressive nine-game winning run, Bussi owns a 1.95 GAA and a .911 save percentage. Having started in six of the Hurricanes' last nine games, and considering how good he's been between the pipes lately, Bussi should continue to see ample playing time moving forward.

  • Dan Vladar G | PHI

    Flyers' Dan Vladar: Beaten in shootout

    Vladar stopped 30 of 32 shots in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

    The Flyers fell to the Hurricanes in a shootout for the second time in as many days, but Vladar can't be blamed for the outcome of the game -- he posted a save percentage of .938 against one of the best offenses in the league. Vladar has won just one of his last four outings, though. Over that stretch, he's posted a 1-1-2 record with a 2.68 GAA and an .889 save percentage.
