Wedgewood recorded a 25-save shutout in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Wedgewood made his third appearance and second start in four games since joining the Avalanche. This was a good one for the 32-year-old, as he was able to keep a potent offense at bay for his first shutout since the 2022-23 campaign. He's now 3-3-1 with a 2.82 GAA and a .906 save percentage over eight contests (six starts) between Colorado and Nashville this season. If Wedgewood finds any consistency between the pipes, he'll offer a challenge to Alexandar Georgiev's starting role.

Allen allowed three goals on 22 shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Allen received no help in this contest, taking his second consecutive defeat. The Devils did well to keep the Avalanche's best players mostly quiet, but the middle six made the difference. Allen is now 5-4-1 with a 2.74 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 10 starts this season. Jacob Markstrom is likely to get the start Tuesday against the Maple Leafs.

Quick conceded six goals on 21 shots in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Kraken. The seventh goal was an empty-netter.

After starting the campaign with a 4-0-0 record in his first five appearances, Quick has lost two of his last three outings. The veteran netminder has conceded 15 goals during that stretch -- the 38-year-old allowed just four goals over his first five contests of the season. If Igor Shesterkin (personal) is not available for Monday's game against the Blackhawks, Quick could have the chance to rebound in the second half of a back-to-back. Dylan Garand, who was recalled from AHL Hartford on Sunday, might be an option for Monday's game as well.

Grubauer made 32 saves on 37 shots in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Rangers.

Grubauer recorded just his second victory of the season Sunday and first since Oct. 17. The German netminder allowed four goals at even strength and one on the man advantage. The 33-year-old has struggled this season, as he's allowed at least three goals in seven of 10 appearances. Overall, Grubauer is 2-8-0 with an .870 save percentage and a 3.71 GAA.

Comrie will protect the home net against Columbus on Sunday, per Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.

The 29-year-old Comrie has a 3-3-0 record with a 3.04 GAA and a .903 save percentage across six appearances this season. He stopped 20 shots in a 6-2 victory over the Blue Jackets on Nov. 1. Columbus sits eighth in the league with 3.38 goals per game in 2024-25.

Ersson will patrol the home crease versus Utah on Sunday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Following an 11-game absence due to a lower-body injury, Ersson will be back between the pipes for the Flyers. He has a 5-2-2 record with one shutout, a 2.70 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. Ersson will get the second half of the team's back-to-back after Aleksei Kolosov played in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Boston.

The Islanders rank 28th in the league with 2.54 goals per game in 2024-25 and won 4-3 versus Carolina on Saturday.

Sorokin will guard the road goal versus Ottawa on Sunday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Silovs was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.

Silovs was a healthy scratch in Friday's 5-2 win over Columbus because of Thatcher Demko's return to the lineup from a knee injury. The 23-year-old Silovs has a 1-4-1 record with a 4.11 GAA and an .847 save percentage in seven NHL appearances this season.
