Forsberg will start against the Avalanche on Sunday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Forsberg will make his fifth start of the season -- he's posted a 2-1-0 record, .904 save percentage and 2.94 GAA. In his last appearance, the Swedish netminder registered a 31-save shutout in a 4-0 victory against Utah on Oct. 22. Forsberg will face a Colorado team that's scoring 3.63 goals per game.

Reimer will be between the pipes for Sunday's road game versus New Jersey, according to Mike Morreale of NHL.com.

Reimer will make his second appearance of the season as Anaheim is on the second half of a back-to-back. The 36-year-old made 29 saves on 32 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights on Oct. 13. The Devils are averaging 3.45 goals per game.

Talbot will protect the home net Sunday against Edmonton, according to Ansar Khan of MLive.com.

Talbot will get the second half of Detroit's back-to-back after Alex Lyon played in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Buffalo. The 37-year-old Talbot has surrendered 10 goals on 115 shots en route to a 2-1-0 record through four appearances this season. Edmonton has generated 18 goals through eight outings in 2024-25.

Annunen will guard the home net Sunday against Ottawa, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

It'll be the fourth straight start for Annunen, who's gone 3-0-0 with a .949 save percentage in his previous three outings. He'll face a hot Senators' offense that's averaging 3.71 goals per game to start the year.

Mrazek stopped 26 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Stars. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with 18 seconds left in the third period.

Mrazek has been struggling of late, losing his last three starts and giving up at least three goals each time. The 32-year-old is firmly entrenched as the Blackhawks' starting goalkeeper, but his results haven't been encouraging. Through seven appearances, Mrazek has gone 2-5-0 with a 3.20 GAA and .893 save percentage.

Oettinger stopped 22 of 24 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over Chicago.

Oettinger gave up two goals in the third period after Dallas had raced to a 3-0 lead, but the star goaltender stepped up late in the contest to secure his fifth win of the season. One of the most consistent netminders over the last few years and a key piece in the Stars' contending status, Oettinger is enjoying an excellent start to the 2024-25 campaign with a 5-1-0 record, a 1.84 GAA and a .938 save percentage through six appearances.

Varmalov stopped 22 of 27 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers. The sixth goal was an empty-netter with 2:17 left in the third period.

This was far from the outing Varlamov would've wanted after not starting in the last two games. The 36-year-old veteran gave up six unanswered goals, including three in the final period, and he's having a woeful start to the campaign. Through four outings, Varlamov has gone 1-2-1 with a 3.72 GAA and .854 save percentage, and both marks represent career-worst figures for him. Expect Ilya Sorokin to return to the Isles' crease for a matchup against the Ducks on Tuesday.

Knight stopped 25 of 28 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.

Knight endured a rough start to Saturday's contest and gave up three goals over the first 12 minutes of play, but he settled down afterward and allowed the Panthers to spark an impressive comeback in the final two periods. Knight has gone 2-1-0 with a 3.03 GAA and a .898 save percentage through four appearances this season, and he should remain a solid backup alternative to Sergei Bobrovsky, who should return to the Panthers' crease for Monday's game at Buffalo.

Markstrom will guard the home net Sunday against the Ducks, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Markstrom has dropped his last two starts, allowing 10 goals on 56 shots in that span. He'll look to get back on track against a Ducks team that's coming off a 2-1 loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

Skinner will guard the road goal Monday versus the Blue Jackets, per Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels.

Skinner will get the second half of Edmonton's back-to-back after Calvin Pickard plays in Sunday's road matchup against Detroit. The 25-year-old Skinner has a 2-3-1 record this season with one shutout, a 3.06 GAA and an .890 save percentage through six appearances. Columbus has accounted for 27 goals over seven games this campaign.
