Vladar allowed four goals on 26 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.

Vladar has allowed three or more goals in each of his last four games, going 1-1-2 in that span. The 29-year-old goalie wasn't able to protect any of the three leads the Flyers generated in this contest. Vladar is now 3-4-3 with a 3.27 GAA and an .880 save percentage across 10 starts on the year. Expect Joseph Woll to get the nod Monday in Vancouver to complete the back-to-back set.

Cooley stopped 32 of 35 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers.

Cooley missed four games due to a lower-body injury and then served as backup Friday versus the Ducks after getting activated from injured reserve. The 29-year-old netminder has won five of his last six starts, and if he gets on a hot streak again, he could reclaim No. 1 duties over Dustin Wolf. Cooley is 5-3-0 with a 2.71 GAA and a .914 save percentage across eight starts this season. The Flames' current homestand ends after they host the Rangers on Wednesday, and a back-to-back over the weekend should allow both Cooley and Wolf to get work in the next week.

Hellebuyck recorded a 23-save shutout in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Maple Leafs.

Hellebuyck got a day off Saturday and bounced back with his first shutout as a Devil. The 33-year-old netminder has won all five of his starts with his new team, adding a 1.96 GAA and a .913 save percentage. After Sunday's win, general manager Sunny Mehta announced Hellebuyck would not play Tuesday in Winnipeg, avoiding a matchup versus his former team. With that news, expect Jake Allen to play Tuesday while Hellebuyck returns to the crease Thursday versus the Capitals in the first half of a home-and-home set.

Stolarz allowed three goals on 28 shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Devils. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Stolarz got the start in the second half of a back-to-back, but the Maple Leafs' offense didn't deliver. This performance ended his three-game winning streak, in which he didn't allow more than two goals in any game. Stolarz is now 5-2-0 with a 2.72 GAA and a .908 save percentage across seven starts. Sergei Bobrovsky hasn't been able to get into a groove this season, allowing Stolarz to play a bit more than the average backup. Both goalies will carry significant risk in the coming week as the Maple Leafs are set to host the Avalanche on Tuesday, the Wild on Thursday and the Oilers on Saturday.

Commesso was recalled from AHL Rockford on Sunday.

Commesso signed a two-year contract with the Blackhawks in July but began the regular season in the minors. Across seven appearances with Rockford to begin the year, he's gone 2-4-2 with a 2.74 GAA and .890 save percentage. He'll join the NHL club to serve as the No. 2 goaltender behind Spencer Knight after Arvid Soderblom was placed on waivers Sunday.

Brossoit will tend the home twine versus the Penguins on Sunday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Brossoit is working his way into a more prominent role for the Ducks, as he is receiving his fourth start in the last five games due to the struggles of Lukas Dostal and Ville Husso. Anaheim is currently carrying all three goaltenders on the NHL roster, so Dostal is the healthy scratch Sunday. As for the Penguins, they snapped their four-game losing streak with a 5-2 win in Los Angeles on Saturday. The Ducks were off Saturday, which gives them the rest advantage for this matchup.

Silovs will defend the road cage Sunday against the Ducks, according to Josh Yohe of The Athletic.

Silovs has dropped his last three outings (0-2-1) while posting a 4.26 GAA and an .841 save percentage during that time. The 25-year-old is operating as the Penguins' No. 1 netminder, but he could lose playing time to Sergei Murashov if Silovs continues to struggle. It won't be easy for Silovs on Sunday against a high-powered Ducks offense that has generated 3.76 goals per game in 2026-27, which is the fourth-best mark in the NHL.

Skinner will start Sunday's home game against the Lightning.

Skinner has picked up wins in each of his last two outings, and he'll draw a fourth consecutive start Sunday. Despite his recent success, the 28-year-old has had a somewhat inconsistent start to the 2026-27 campaign, going 5-4-3 with a 3.28 GAA and .885 save percentage across his first 12 appearances of the season.

Vasilevskiy will start Sunday's road matchup against Winnipeg, per Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley.

Vasilevskiy will get the second half of Tampa Bay's back-to-back after Dennis Hildeby played in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota. The 32-year-old Vasilevskiy has posted an 8-3-1 record, a 2.75 GAA and an .887 save percentage in 12 appearances this season. Winnipeg (6-8-3) ranks 26th in the league during the 2026-27 campaign with 2.65 goals per game.

Swayman turned aside 40 of 41 shots on goal in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.

Swayman was incredible against a barrage of shots Sunday, as the lone goal he allowed came at a man disadvantage. His 40 saves Sunday marked a new season high, and he now holds a 9-3-1 record, a 2.21 GAA, a shutout and a .920 save percentage across 13 outings this season. He ranks in the top-10 goalies across the league in all major stat categories, which makes him a must-start in all fantasy formats moving forward.
