Sorokin stopped 18 of 22 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Canadiens.

Sorokin was beaten three times in a 55-second span in the second period, and that was a hole the Islanders couldn't come back from. Ultimately, this defeat means the Islanders won't be playing in the postsesaon, and thus, it's unclear if Sorokin will get the start in the regular-season finale against the Hurricanes on Tuesday. He has started every one of the last 14 games for the Isles, going 5-9-0 with a 3.17 GAA and an .882 save percentage in that span.

Fowler stopped 30 of 31 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Fowler delivered a strong showing across the board, with the lone goal he allowed coming midway through the third period when Montreal already had a three-goal lead. Fowler should remain as Montreal's No. 2 option between the pipes, so he's not likely to see action in the regular-season finale at Philadelphia on Tuesday. He owns a 9-6-2 record with a 2.43 GAA and .908 save percentage through 17 appearances this season, which are impressive numbers for a 21-year-old rookie.

DeSmith is expected to defend the road net against Toronto on Monday, per Mark Masters of TSN.

DeSmith has gone 0-4-1 in his last five outings, allowing 12 goals on 121 shots. He has a 14-8-6 record this campaign with one shutout, a 2.34 GAA and a .910 save percentage across 29 appearances. Toronto ranks 16th in the league with 3.08 goals per game this season.

Annunen was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against San Jose on Monday.

Annunen will make his second straight start after he stopped 21 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over Minnesota. He has won his last two outings while allowing only one goal on 65 shots. Annunen has a 10-11-2 record this campaign with one shutout, a 2.70 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 27 appearances. San Jose sits 18th in the league with 3.01 goals per game this season.

Quick was the first goalie off the ice Monday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes on the road versus the Panthers.

Quick confirmed after the morning skate that Monday's contest will be his final NHL game, bringing a close to his 19-year career. The veteran netminder won a pair of Stanley Cup championships when he was with the Kings, including being named the 2012 Conn Smythe winner. Overall, Quick will end up appearing in 829 regular-season contests. He has posted a 410-306-90 record, a 2.51 GAA, a .910 save percentage and 65 shutouts in the first 828 games before his final game Monday. Quick also went 49-43 with a 2.31 GAA and .921 save percentage in 92 career playoff outings.

Greaves stopped 19 of 22 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Bruins.

Greaves started on the second leg of this back-to-back set after allowing two goals on 22 shots in a 5-2 win over the Canadiens on Saturday, but he couldn't lead Columbus to victory this time around. Don't be surprised if Greaves also gets the starting nod for the regular-season finale against Washington on Tuesday, though his recent results have been inconsistent at best. Over his last five starts, Greaves has gone 2-3-0 with a 2.81 GAA and an .892 save percentage.

Vladar was the first goalie to exit the ice ahead of Monday's home game against the Hurricanes, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Vladar will make his sixth straight appearance in the crease, having gone 4-1-0 with a 1.80 GAA in his previous five outings. As long as the Flyers are fighting for a playoff spot, fantasy managers can expect to see Vladar guarding the cage, which includes possibly taking both ends of Philadelphia's back-to-back and playing Tuesday at home versus Montreal.

Tarasov will patrol the home crease against the Rangers on Monday, per Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network.

Tarasov will make his second straight start after stopping 17 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over Toronto. He has gone 11-15-3 this season with a 3.16 GAA and an .892 save percentage through 31 appearances. Since the start of March, the Rangers sit fourth in the league with 3.62 goals per game.

Korpisalo stopped 33 of 35 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Korpisalo bounced back from losing back-to-back games in overtime to the Flyers and Hurricanes, and he recorded his first win since March 31, when he stopped 13 of 16 shots in a 6-3 victory over the Stars. Despite the 1-0-2 record in his last three outings, Korpisalo is ending the season on a strong note after allowing just five goals on 83 shots (.940 save percentage) in those three contests. It remains to be seen whether Korpisalo or Jeremy Swayman will get the start in the regular-season finale against the Devils on Tuesday.

Vasilevskiy was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Diandra Loux of The Hockey News reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against Detroit on Monday.

Vasilevskiy is coming off a 20-save performance in Saturday's 2-1 win over Boston. He has a 38-15-4 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.30 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 57 appearances. Detroit is tied for 20th in the league with 2.94 goals per game this season.
