Lyon will defend the road net Monday against the Rangers, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Lyon posted a 21-18-5 record with two shutouts, a 3.05 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 44 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. The Rangers have netted 11 goals in two games this campaign.

Jarry was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll defend the cage on the road versus Montreal.

Jarry was disappointing in the season opener against the Rangers, giving up six goals on 40 shots (.850 save percentage). It led to the 29-year-old netminder sitting out for the Penguins' last two contests in favor of youngster Joel Blomqvist. At this point, Jarry's hold on the No. 1 job should be considered tenuous at best, especially once Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) is cleared to return.

Swayman will defend the home cage against the Panthers on Monday, Steve Goldstein of Bally Sports Florida reports.

Swayman is riding a two-game winning streak to open the season while posting a 2.44 GAA and .914 save percentage. The 25-year-old backstop will face his stiffest test of the season Monday versus the defending Stanley Cup champions -- though Florida will be without Aleksander Barkov (lower body) and Matthew Tkachuk (illness). With Swayman not having gotten any work in during preseason, it wouldn't be surprising to see Joonas Korpisalo take one game during the Bruins' upcoming three-game road trip.

Shesterkin was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll tend the twine at home versus Detroit.

Shesterkin will be looking for a bounce-back performance against the Red Wings after giving up six goals on 26 shots (.769 save percentage) in Saturday's overtime defeat to Utah. It's been an up-and-down start to the year already for the 28-year-old Russian, as he blanked the Penguins in a 31-save shutout performance over Pittsburgh in the season opener. Regardless, Shesterkin will continue to see the bulk of the workload for the team ahead of Jonathan Quick.

Montembeault will be between the pipes in Monday's home contest against Pittsburgh, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Montembeault has opened the 2024-25 campaign with a 2-0-0 record while turning aside 72 of 73 shots. Pittsburgh has potted eight goals through three contests this season.

Vejmelka will be between the road pipes against New Jersey on Monday, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.

Vejmelka will make his first start of the 2024-25 campaign after Connor Ingram opened the year on a three-game winning streak. Utah doesn't have a back-to-back on the schedule until late November, so it may be difficult for fantasy managers to pinpoint exactly when Vejmelka might make future starts, but he seems firmly cemented behind Ingram at this point as the No. 2 option for Utah.

Markstrom will guard the road net Tuesday versus Carolina, according to James Nichols of New Jersey Hockey Now.

Markstrom will get the second half of New Jersey's back-to-back after Jake Allen plays in Monday's home contest against Utah. The 34-year-old Markstrom has stopped 77 of 85 shots en route to a 2-1-0 start to the 2024-25 campaign. Carolina is coming off a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Friday in the team's regular-season opener.

Bobrovsky will get the starting nod on the road against Boston on Monday.

Bobrovsky will be coming into Monday's matchup with some extra rest after Spencer Knight patrolled the crease versus Buffalo on Saturday. Despite stopping 28 of 30 shots his last time out (.933 save percentage), the Bobrovsky was still saddled with a road loss to Ottawa on Thursday. With both Matthew Tkachuk (illness) and Aleksander Barkov (lower body) currently sidelined, Bobrovsky will need to step up his game even more as his offensive support is likely to falter.

Allen will patrol the home crease Monday against Utah, according to Devils play-by-play announcer Bill Spaulding.

Allen will get the first half of New Jersey's back-to-back, and Jacob Markstrom will play in Tuesday's road start versus Carolina. The 34-year-old Allen stopped 17 shots in a 3-1 win over Buffalo on Oct. 5 during his 2024-25 debut. Utah is tied for the league lead with 16 goals through three games this campaign.

Sogaard was elevated from AHL Belleville on Monday under emergency conditions.

Sogaard's promotion certainly raises concerns that Linus Ullmark (undisclosed) won't be ready to suit up for Monday's game versus the Kings. Even with Sogaard joining the NHL roster, he's unlikely to feature between the pipes for the Senators, as Anton Forsberg would likely get the starting nod if Ullmark can't give it a go.
