Daccord will tend the home twine Sunday against the Flames, per Sound of Hockey.

Daccord will make his 35th appearance of the campaign Sunday -- the 28-year-old owns an 18-12-2 record, .916 save percentage and 2.43 GAA. The Flames are on the second half of a back-to-back, having lost 3-1 to Detroit on Saturday. Calgary is generating 2.65 goals per game this season, the fifth-worst mark in the league.

Allen surrendered four goals on 27 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.

New Jersey almost pulled off the comeback Sunday, but Buffalo's three-goal first period was too much to surmount. Allen has lost two of his last three starts, but he was solid across six appearances in January, posting a .927 save percentage and a 1.81 GAA. Overall, the 34-year-old owns an 8-10-1 record, .905 save percentage and 2.68 GAA through 19 appearances.

Luukkonen made 21 saves on 24 shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over New Jersey.

The Sabres rattled off three first-period goals in Sunday's win, but the Devils were able to make the game close over the final 40 minutes. Luukkonen has won three consecutive games and four of his last five. The 25-year-old has been Buffalo's unquestioned No. 1 netminder this season, and he should benefit from a break in the schedule when the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament begins Feb. 12. On the season, Luukkonen is sporting an 18-15-4 record, .897 save percentage and 2.97 GAA through 38 appearances.

Lyon will draw the road start against the Canucks on Sunday, per the NHL media site.

Lyon was spectacular in his last start, turning aside 45 of 47 shots in Thursday's 3-2 road win over the Oilers. Vancouver sits 19th in the NHL with 2.84 goals per game. Detroit is on the second half of a back-to-back, while the Canucks last played Friday.

Dostal allowed two goals on 23 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Canadiens.

Dostal and the Ducks fell into a two-goal hole in the first period, but the 24-year-old was able to keep the Canadiens out of the net for the final two frames to pick up his third straight win. Dostal has a 2.63 GAA and .919 save percentage during his current three-game winning streak.

Montembeault allowed three goals on 22 shots during Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks.

Montembeault kept the Ducks off the board during the first period of Sunday's game but allowed second-period goals to Mason McTavish and Frank Vatrano within a 40-second span before Alex Killorn scored the go-ahead goal midway through the third frame. Montembeault has dropped his last three games and has a 3.42 GAA and .889 save percentage over that span. The Canadiens will continue their three-game California road trip Tuesday in San Jose.

Wedgewood is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

Wedgewood missed Sunday's 2-0 win over the Flyers -- Trent Miner backed up Mackenzie Blackwood in the victory on home ice. Wedgewood will travel with the team for its upcoming three-game road trip through Western Canada, but it's unclear if he'll be ready for game action. The Avalanche have a back-to-back set against Calgary on Thursday and Edmonton on Friday, so Wedgewood would be poised to start in one of those contests if he's healthy.

Binnington is expected to start on the road against Utah on Sunday, per Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Binnington will attempt to rebound after losing his past two appearances while stopping just 32 of 37 shots (.865 save percentage). He's 13-19-3 with a 2.89 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 36 outings in 2024-25. Utah ranks 23rd in goals per game with 2.80.

Hill will defend the road net against the Rangers on Sunday, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Hill has one win in his last five outings (1-2-2), allowing 16 goals on 145 shots. He has a 19-9-4 record with two shutouts, a 2.65 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 32 appearances this season. The Rangers sit 15th in the league with 2.96 goals per game and lost 6-3 to Boston on Saturday.

DeSmith is expected to start at home against Columbus on Sunday, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

DeSmith has a 7-6-0 record, 2.42 GAA and .913 save percentage in 15 appearances in 2024-25. He posted a 33-save shutout victory over St. Louis on Jan. 25. The Blue Jackets rank eighth in goals per game with 3.27.
