Daccord will patrol the home crease against Buffalo on Monday, according to Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle.

Daccord is coming off a 28-save performance in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kings. He has a 15-10-2 record with one shutout, a 2.43 GAA and a .916 save percentage across 29 appearances this season. Buffalo is tied for 14th in the league with 3.02 goals per game in 2024-25.

Blackwood will defend the home crease against the Wild on Monday.

Blackwood has been relatively effective since being traded to the Avalanche from the Sharks, but he'll be looking for a bounce-back performance Monday after he gave up four goals on 28 shots (.857 save percentage) in a loss to Edmonton on Thursday. Blackwood made a road start against the Wild on Jan. 9 and turned aside 24 of 25 shots (.960 save percentage) en route to a 6-1 win.

Hellebuyck was the first goalie off at Monday's morning skate, Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports reports, indicating that he'll defend the road crease against Utah.

Hellebuyck has been on a hot streak recently, going 4-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA and .957 save percentage over his last four starts. He got the night off Saturday against Calgary but will return to the crease Monday against a favorable opponent, as Utah is averaging 2.82 goals per game this year, which ranks 24th in the NHL.

Fleury will defend the road net versus the Avalanche on Monday, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Fleury allowed five goals on 37 shots in Saturday's loss to Nashville. Following a one-game absence, Filip Gustavsson (illness) will return to the lineup in the backup role. The Wild will wait a little longer before getting Gustavsson back between the pipes because he hasn't skated in a few days. Fleury has a 9-4-1 record with a 2.72 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 15 appearances this season. Colorado sits fifth in the league with 3.36 goals per game in 2024-25.

Ingram was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease versus Winnipeg on Monday.

Ingram is coming off a 22-save performance in Saturday's 4-2 win over St. Louis. He has a 7-5-3 record with a 3.38 GAA and an .879 save percentage through 15 appearances this season. Winnipeg ranks third in the league with 3.51 goals per game in 2024-25.

Mrazek will start Monday's home game against the Hurricanes, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

Mrazek will be between the pipes for the fifth time over Chicago's last seven games. Across his last four starts, he's gone 2-2-0 with a 3.27 GAA and .903 save percentage. The Hurricanes will present a tough test Monday, as they're tied for sixth in the NHL with 3.30 goals per game.

Johansson was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Toronto.

Johansson will start in the first half of a back-to-back set Monday, making just his second start over the Lightning's last eight games. While Andrei Vasilevskiy will presumably start in Montreal on Tuesday, it wouldn't be surprising to see Johansson back in the net over the weekend, as the Lightning have games in Chicago on Friday and in Detroit on Saturday.

Korpisalo will defend the home crease against San Jose on Monday, Kevin Paul Dupont of The Boston Globe reports.

Korpisalo hasn't seen much playing time recently since Jeremy Swayman has emerged as Boston's clear No. 1 goaltender. Korpisalo has made just five starts since the beginning of December, going 2-2-1 with a 3.57 GAA and .867 save percentage in that span.

Merzlikins will guard the road goal against the Islanders on Monday, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

Merzlikins has stopped 96 of 106 shots during his four-game winning streak. He has posted a 16-10-3 record with one shutout, a 3.05 GAA and an .890 save percentage across 29 appearances this season. The Islanders sit 27th in the league with 2.64 goals per game in 2024-25.

Askarov will start Monday's road game against Boston, Sheng Peng of San JoseHockeyNow.com reports.

Askarov sat out five of the Sharks' last six games, but he'll tend the twine in the first half of a back-to-back set Monday. Over three starts this month, the 22-year-old has gone 2-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .922 save percentage.
