Perets was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Monday.

Perets made a relief appearance against Florida on Saturday, surrendering one goal on seven shots in a 6-0 loss. Due to injuries to Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) and Frederik Andersen (knee), Perets occupied the backup role behind Spencer Martin. However, Kochetkov returned to practice Monday and could be ready to play in Tuesday's home game versus Seattle.

Shesterkin will patrol the home crease against New Jersey on Monday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

Shesterkin has stopped 144 of 157 shots during his four-game losing skid. He has posted a record of 8-8-1 with one shutout, a 2.93 GAA and a .913 save percentage through 17 appearances this campaign. Shesterkin went 3-0-0 versus the Devils last season, allowing only seven goals on 93 shots. New Jersey sits eighth in the league with 3.48 goals per game in 2024-25.

Varlamov (lower body) is day-to-day but will travel with the team for Tuesday's road matchup against Montreal.

The Islanders recalled Marcus Hogberg from AHL Bridgeport on Monday under emergency conditions to practice and possibly be in Tuesday's lineup if Varlamov sits out a game. The 36-year-old Varlamov has a 3-4-3 record with a 2.89 GAA and an .889 save percentage through 10 appearances this season. Given the nature of this situation, Ilya Sorokin will probably start against the Canadiens, though that hasn't been confirmed yet.

Hogberg was recalled by the Islanders on an emergency basis for Monday's practice session.

Hogberg was sent to the AHL ahead of the regular season, and he's posted a 2-4-3 record, 2.97 GAA and .908 save percentage over 10 appearances with Bridgeport to begin the year. He'll provide goaltending depth for the Islanders since Semyon Varlamov (lower body) is considered day-to-day.

Ullmark stopped 32 of 35 shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.

Ullmark has just one win in his last six games (1-3-2), and he's given up at least three goals in all of them. The Ducks weren't good at protecting leads Sunday, and the Senators never offered Ullmark the chance to do so, though they were quick to respond each time they fell behind. The 31-year-old netminder dropped to 5-7-2 with a 3.07 GAA and an .889 save percentage over 15 outings this season. Ullmark and Anton Forsberg have alternated starts over the last five games. It's unclear if that pattern will hold, but the Senators have another back-to-back next weekend, so both goalies should see action over the next seven days.

Dostal stopped 28 of 31 shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Senators.

The Ducks briefly held one-goal leads on three occasions, but the Senators were quick to respond each time. Dostal held firm and stopped all three shootout attempts to earn just his second win in seven outings since the start of November. The 24-year-old goalie has given up at least three goals in six of those games. Dostal is now 6-7-2 with a 2.73 GAA and a .921 save percentage over 15 contests. He's been losing work to John Gibson lately, so it's not clear which goalie will get the starting nod at home versus the Golden Knights on Wednesday.

Primeau allowed five goals on 29 shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Bruins.

The Bruins jumped on Primeau and the Canadiens with three goals in a 70-second span midway through the first period. The fourth goal allowed was a shorthanded one, but it came on a breakaway, which suggests Primeau wasn't always supported by the team in front of him. Still, it was the fourth time in seven starts that he's allowed at least five goals. Primeau sports a 4.45 GAA and .844 save percentage over 10 outings. Sam Montembeault will likely be back between the pipes Tuesday at home against the Islanders.

Husso allowed three goals on 18 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Husso was forced into action after Cam Talbot exited the game with a lower-body injury. Husso could be Detroit's de facto No. 1 netminder in the short term if Talbot is sidelined for an extended period of time, and Alex Lyon (lower body) has already been ruled out for the team's upcoming two-game road trip. Husso has an 0-2-1 record, .818 save percentage and 4.90 GAA through three appearances this season.

Hellebuyck saved 28 of 30 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Stars. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Hellebuyck gave up goals to Wyatt Johnston and Mason Marchment, and there was nothing he could have done on the latter's tally. Hellebuyck has now lost consecutive starts for the first time this season, though he's allowed just a combined five goals on 62 shots to the Kings and Stars. The 31-year-old is down to a 15-4-0 record with a 2.11 GAA and a .928 save percentage. He's first in the league in wins, two ahead of the goalie at the other end of the rink in Sunday's contest. Look for Hellebuyck to tend the twine again Tuesday at home versus the Blues.

Dostal will be between the pipes for Sunday's home matchup against the Senators, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Dostal will look turn the page in December after posting a 1-5-0 record, .890 save percentage and 3.71 GAA over six appearances in November. The 24-year-old will face an Ottawa club that's on the second half of a back-to-back after losing 5-2 in Los Angeles on Saturday. The Senators have generated 72 goals through 23 games.
