Kochetkov stopped 17 of 20 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Kochetkov hasn't been playing at his best of late, winning just one of his previous four starts, although the record doesn't tell the whole story here. He's recorded a save percentage of at least .880 in three of his last four outings despite going 1-2-1 with a 3.01 GAA in that span.

Knight will tend the twine on the road against the Devils on Tuesday, Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site reports.

Knight has seen limited action in recent weeks, but he'll start in the second half of a back-to-back set after Sergei Bobrovsky starts Monday's road matchup against the Flyers. Knight has made six starts since the beginning of December, going 3-2-1 with a 3.45 GAA and .864 save percentage during that time. The Devils will pose a challenge, as they rank 11th in the NHL with 3.16 goals per game.

Dostal stopped 35 of 37 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Hurricanes.

Dostal bounced back admirably from his woeful showing against the Blues on Thursday, when he allowed six goals on 22 shots in a 6-2 defeat. Dostal has won three of his last five starts, posting a 3-2-0 with a 3.60 GAA and a .887 save percentage in that stretch.

Bobrovsky will get the starting nod on the road against the Flyers on Monday.

Bobrovsky has been struggling to put together wins of late, going 1-2-1 despite a 2.25 GAA and .922 save percentage over his last four outings. As long as the veteran netminder continues to put up solid ratios, he should get back into the win column sooner rather than later. With Bobrovsky in the crease Monday, look for Spencer Knight to guard the cage on the road versus the Devils on Tuesday.

Wolf is slated to serve as the starting goaltender for Monday's road matchup against Chicago, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Wolf has been hot in recent outings, as he's picked up wins in back-to-back starts while posting a 1.48 GAA and .950 save percentage during that time. He'll earn a fourth consecutive start Monday and will have a favorable opportunity to maintain his success, as the Blackhawks have averaged just 2.56 goals per game this year, which is the fourth-worst mark in the league.

Mrazek will protect the home net versus Calgary on Monday, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

Mrazek has one win in his last nine appearances (1-7-0), allowing 32 goals on 226 shots. He has posted a record of 8-15-1 with a 3.17 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 25 games this season. Calgary sits 27th in the league with 2.61 goals per game.

Sorokin (illness) returned to practice Monday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Sorokin was unavailable for Saturday's game against Utah due to his illness, but he appears to have moved past the ailment. Whether he'll serve as the starting goaltender for Tuesday's home game against Ottawa remains to be seen, but it appears as though he'll at least be available in a backup capacity since Jakub Skarek was returned to AHL Bridgeport on Monday.

Ersson will patrol the home crease versus Florida on Monday, according to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Ersson is coming off a 22-save performance in Saturday's 6-0 shutout win over Anaheim. He has a 10-7-2 record with two shutouts, a 2.86 GAA and an .888 save percentage through 21 appearances this season. Florida ranks ninth in the league with 3.26 goals per game in 2024-25.

Skarek was returned to AHL Bridgeport on Monday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Skarek suited up against Utah on Saturday, serving as the No. 2 option behind Marcus Hogberg while Ilya Sorokin (illness) was unavailable. The decision to return Skarek to the minors should be an indication that Sorokin will at least be healthy enough to fill the backup role when the Islanders face off with the Senators on Tuesday.

Gustavsson stopped 33 of 37 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Gustavsson has not risen to the occasion in his last two starts, allowing a total of 10 goals on 64 shots to the Avalanche and Golden Knights. The 26-year-old netminder has seen a starter's workload when healthy this season, so it's possible he may just need a little extra rest to get on track, and that could happen with Marc-Andre Fleury playing well lately. Gustavsson is down to 18-8-3 with a 2.50 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 30 starts. The Wild have another tough matchup next on the schedule, as they host the Oilers on Wednesday.
