Hart will patrol the road blue paint Monday versus the Bruins, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

This will be Hart's first start since Oct. 24 -- he missed Tuesday's game against the Senators due to an undisclosed injury, and he backed up Adin Hill against the Devils on Friday. Hart has lost three of his last four outings (1-2-1), and he will be looking to get back on track against a Bruins team that snapped its two-game losing streak with a 5-4 overtime win over Chicago on Saturday. Boston is 6-1-0 on home ice this season, so it'll be a tough test for Hart and his teammates in the first matchup of Vegas' four-game road trip.

Wedgewood is slated to start Tuesday's road game against Columbus, Colleen Flynn of Mile High Sports reports.

Mackenzie Blackwood has been named the starter for Monday's road matchup against Chicago, so Wedgewood is set to defend the crease in the second half of the back-to-back set. Across Wedgewood's four appearances to begin the 2026-27 campaign, he's gone 1-2-1 with a 3.49 GAA and .889 save percentage.

Blackwood will start Monday's road game against Chicago, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Blackwood has picked up wins in each of his last three starts, posting a 2.34 GAA and .916 save percentage during that time. He'll draw a third consecutive start Monday and will have a favorable matchup against the Blackhawks, who have recorded just 2.21 goals per game to begin the regular season, which is the second-worst mark in the league.

Black was assigned to AHL Charlotte on Monday.

In a corresponding move, Florida activated Jacob Markstrom (upper body) from injured reserve. Markstrom will start Monday's home matchup against Detroit, and Akira Schmid will return to the backup role. In his NHL debut, Black made 18 saves on 21 shots in a 4-0 loss to Pittsburgh on Oct. 22. He has a 2-1-0 record, a 2.67 GAA and a .919 save percentage in three AHL outings this season.

Askarov was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Max Miller of NHL.com reports, indicating that he'll draw the start at home against the Flames.

Askarov has alternated wins and losses across his last four starts, going 2-2-0 with a 1.77 GAA and .950 save percentage during that time. He'll have a favorable matchup against Calgary on Monday, as the Flames have recorded 2.57 goals per game to begin the regular season, which is the fifth-worst mark in the NHL.

Knight will start Monday's home game against the Avalanche, Vinnie Parise of The Hockey News reports.

Knight has struggled to pick up wins over the past few weeks, going 1-4-0 with a 2.84 GAA and .906 save percentage across his last five appearances, but he'll be between the pipes Tuesday for the ninth time in Chicago's last 10 games. The Avalanche lead the NHL with 4.21 goals per game to begin the regular season.

Wolf will start Monday's road game against San Jose, Derek Wills of QR Calgary 770 AM reports.

Wolf will draw his second start in the Flames' last three games Monday. Across his first seven appearances of the 2026-27 campaign, he's gone 2-4-0 with a 4.38 GAA and .847 save percentage. The Sharks have generated 2.67 goals per game to begin the regular season, which is the seventh-worst mark in the NHL.

Bobrovsky will patrol the home crease against Utah on Tuesday, according to Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun.

Bobrovsky allowed five goals on 17 shots in a 5-4 loss to the Mammoth on Wednesday. In 10 appearances this season, he has a 3-5-2 record, a 3.28 GAA and an .885 save percentage. Utah (9-6-0) ranks seventh in the league with 3.60 goals per game this campaign.

Tarasov will defend the road net against Florida on Monday, per George Richards of Florida Hockey Now.

Tarasov owns a 1-0-2 record, a 1.40 GAA and a .940 save percentage in four appearances this campaign. The 27-year-old netminder will get the nod against his former team. He went 13-15-3 with a 3.05 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 33 appearances for the Panthers during the 2025-26 regular season. In 2026-27, Florida (8-4-2) is tied for 16th in the league with 3.14 goals per game.

Swayman will start Monday's home game against the Golden Knights, Adam Pellerin of NESN reports.

Swayman got the night off Saturday against Chicago, but he'll return to the crease Monday for the fourth time in the Bruins' last five games. The 27-year-old has struggled to enter the win column recently, going 1-2-1 with a 3.23 GAA and .870 save percentage across his last four outings.
