Bobrovsky will tend the twine for Monday's road game against Colorado.

Bobrovsky hasn't allowed more than three goals in any of his last six appearances but has gone 4-2-0 in that span. Still, with 17 wins in 26 outings, the 36-year-old Russian is primed to reach the 30-win mark for the third time in the last four seasons. While it's possible Spencer Knight gets a few extra starts to keep Bobrovsky well rested, the veteran is the clear No. 1 option for Florida.

Grubauer was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports, indicating he'll get the starting nod at home versus the Devils.

Grubauer has given up three or more goals in five of his last six outings, posting a 2-3-1 record, 3.51 GAA and .875 save percentage. With Joey Daccord (upper body) still on injured reserve, the Kraken have little choice but to keep rolling with Grubauer -- unless they want to start Ales Stezka, who has yet to make an NHL appearance.

Demko (back) isn't expected to be available for Monday's road game against the Canadiens, Ben Kuzma of Postmedia reports.

Although Demko is traveling with the Canucks as they begin their road trip, it appears as though he'll be forced to miss at least one more game. Head coach Rick Tocchet said after Monday's morning skate that he doesn't think Demko will play unless "he feels great," so the goaltender's next opportunity to return will presumably be Wednesday in Washington.

Blackwood will get the starting nod at home versus Florida on Monday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Blackwood is undefeated in regulation over his last six contests, posting a 5-0-1 record, 1.68 GAA and .934 save percentage. It took the 28-year-old netminder just eight games with the Avalanche to match his win total (six) from his 19 outings with the Sharks this year. Fortunately for Colorado, Blackwood seems to be thriving, as the club is currently without backup Scott Wedgewood (lower body) and may have to rely even more heavily on Blackwood.

Sorokin stopped 26 of 30 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.

Sorokin didn't have his best individual effort, but it was just enough to lift the Islanders to victory in what turned out to be a high-scoring matchup. Even though Sorokin's role as the Isles' primary goaltender isn't under any threat, it's worth noting his recent performances haven't been particularly good. He's posted a save percentage below the .890 mark in three of his last five appearances, a span in which he's gone 2-3-0 with a 3.42 GAA and an .873 save percentage.

Lindgren will defend the road net against Buffalo on Monday, according to Heather Engel of NHL.com.

Lindgren has one win in his last five outings (1-3-1) while surrendering 14 goals on 130 shots. He has a 10-8-1 record with a 2.70 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 19 appearances this season. Buffalo is tied for 14th in the league with 3.03 goals per game in 2024-25.

Korpisalo stopped 27 of 32 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Korpisalo was making his first start since Dec. 27, when he gave up six goals on 33 shots in a 6-2 loss to the Blue Jackets, but he didn't have good results in this one. He's dropped three of his last four starts dating back to Dec. 12, going 1-2-1 with a 3.98 GAA and a .855 save percentage during that span.

Johansson stopped 22 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

The Lightning were limited to three goals while losing all three games of their California road trip, with Johansson on the hook for this one after Andrei Vasilevskiy dropped 2-1 results to the Sharks and Kings. The lack of goal support is unusual -- the Lightning have been one of the top-scoring teams in the league this season. Johansson has lost two starts in a row and is now at 4-3-1 with a 3.32 GAA and an .898 save percentage over nine outings. Vasilevskiy will likely get the nod for Tuesday's home game versus the Hurricanes.

Gibson stopped 36 of 37 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Lightning.

Gibson was excellent Sunday, holding the Lightning to a Jake Guentzel power-play goal in the second period. This was Gibson's best start of the campaign. He continues to share the crease with Lukas Dostal as the Ducks balance playing time between the veteran and the youngster. Gibson improved to 7-5-1 with a 2.78 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 14 appearances.

Fedotov allowed three goals on 25 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

It wasn't a great performance, but considering Fedotov hadn't played in a month and was facing a tough offense, it was good enough. The 28-year-old has been relegated to a third-string role for the Flyers, but he's getting chances to suit up with Samuel Ersson (lower body) ailing. Fedotov is 4-4-2 with a 3.42 GAA and an .877 save percentage through 11 starts this season. Aleksei Kolosov and Fedotov will compete for starts until Ersson is cleared to play again.
