Hildeby stopped 30 of 32 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.

Hildeby made his first NHL start since Dec. 15 and came away with his third win in four outings this season. He allowed the opening goal to Tyson Foerster in the first period and another tally to Scott Laughton in the second. Morgan Rielly had the game-winner at 2:25 of overtime. Hildeby and Matt Murray have been sharing backup duties at the NHL level as well as the starting role for AHL Toronto during the absence of Anthony Stolarz (knee). The Maple Leafs don't have a back-to-back over the next week, so it wouldn't be surprising to see some roster shuffling to keep Hildeby and Murray fresh with AHL games even if Joseph Woll ultimately starts a few games in a row for the big club.

Nedeljkovic stopped 27 of 31 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

A three-goal second period accounted for most of the damage, and Nedeljkovic also gave up a goal to Sebastian Aho in overtime to take the loss against the team with which he made his NHL debut back in 2016-17. Nedeljkovic has started three of the Penguins' last four games, going 1-1-1 with nine goals allowed in that span. He's now 6-6-4 with a 3.22 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 17 contests this season. Tristan Jarry hasn't done much to keep hold of the crease, but Nedeljkovic isn't really any better, so expect a timeshare to continue between the pipes for the Penguins.

Tokarski stopped 16 of 19 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Penguins.

Tokarski has won three of his four starts at the NHL level, but this one wasn't a particularly inspiring performance. He gave up two goals in the first period and blew a 3-2 lead in the third, but Sebastian Aho saved the day with a goal 1:30 into overtime. Tokarski has allowed 10 goals on 94 shots in his four appearances, and he's likely to remain in a backup role behind Pyotr Kochetkov. The Hurricanes' next back-to-back is a pair of home games versus the Maple Leafs on Thursday and the Canucks on Friday.

Soderblom surrendered six goals on 34 shots Sunday in a 6-2 loss to the Rangers.

Tyler Bertuzzi opened the scoring for Chicago on Sunday, but New York answered with five consecutive goals. Soderblom didn't stand much of a chance due to the Hawks being heavily outplayed in five-on-five play -- all six of New York's markers came at even strength. Soderblom has been inconsistent in 2024-25, but he could get a look as the No. 1 netminder if Petr Mrazek (.893 save percentage, 3.23 GAA) continues to struggle. Through 18 appearances this season, Soderblom has a 6-10-1 record, .905 save percentage and 2.92 GAA.

Domingue stopped 25 of 27 shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Domingue made his first appearance of the campaign Sunday, allowing just two even-strength goals in a convincing road victory. The 32-year-old is serving as New York's No. 2 netminder as a result of Igor Shesterkin (upper body) being placed on injured reserve Tuesday. Jonathan Quick should be expected to handle the bulk of the starts while Shesterkin is sidelined, and while Domingue proved capable Sunday, it was against a Blackhawks club that ranks 30th in the league with 2.53 goals per game.

Johansson will patrol the road crease in Anaheim on Sunday, per Ducks PA Announcer Phil Hulett.

Johansson was solid across three appearances in December, posting a 2-1-0 record, .947 save percentage and 1.68 GAA. The Lightning have lost three consecutive games, but Johansson will have a favorable matchup against an Anaheim club that ranks 31st in the NHL with 2.50 goals per game. The Swedish netminder is 5-1-0 with a 1.40 GAA and a .951 save percentage over six career appearances against the Ducks.

Gibson will tend the home twine versus the Lightning on Sunday, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Gibson will make his 14th appearance of the campaign Sunday -- the 31-year-old has a 6-5-1 record, .906 save percentage and 2.93 GAA. The Lightning are on the second half of a back-to-back, but they'll be a tough test for Gibson, considering they rank first in the NHL with 3.78 goals per game in 2024-25.

Daccord (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

Daccord hasn't played since Dec. 22 while dealing with an upper-body injury, and the Kraken will give him some time to recover while on injured reserve. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action, but Philipp Grubauer should continue to serve as Seattle's primary netminder, while Ales Stezka will be available as a reserve while Daccord is sidelined.

Sorokin led the Islanders onto the ice for Sunday's pregame warmups, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, indicating he'll start on the road against the Bruins.

Sorokin has been held out of the win column in each of his last two starts, going 0-2-0 with a 2.05 GAA and .927 save percentage in appearances that both came against the Maple Leafs. He should have a more favorable matchup Sunday, as the Bruins are averaging just 2.61 goals per game this year, which is the fifth-worst mark in the league.

Nedeljkovic will start Sunday's road matchup versus the Hurricanes, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

Nedeljkovic has won two of his last three outings, allowing seven goals on 86 shots. He has a 6-6-3 record with a 3.18 GAA and an .889 save percentage across 16 appearances this season. Carolina ranks seventh in the league with 3.36 goals per game and lost 4-0 to Minnesota on Saturday.
