Sandstrom will guard the home crease in Monday's preseason game against the Red Wings, according to Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News.

Vladar will start Monday's preseason game against the visiting Kraken, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Vladar made 15 saves on 17 shots in two periods of work during Saturday's 4-2 exhibition win over Vancouver. If he fends off Dustin Wolf and Devin Cooley, Vladar could be Calgary's starter versus the Canucks for Opening Night on Oct. 9.

Bobrovsky will patrol the home crease Monday in preseason action versus Tampa Bay, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Bobrovsky surrendered one goal on seven shots in 30:31 of playing time in a 6-2 exhibition victory over Nashville on Sept. 22. He may see action again in at least one of Florida's final two preseason contests before Opening Night on Oct. 8 versus Boston.

Quick will defend the road net in Monday's preseason contest versus New Jersey, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

In two periods of work, Quick stopped 10 of 12 shots in Thursday's 5-2 exhibition win over Boston. The veteran netminder will play the whole game Monday. Quick will enter the 2024-25 campaign as Igor Shesterkin's backup again.

Husso will defend the road net in Tuesday's preseason contest versus Pittsburgh, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Lyon will guard the road goal in Monday's exhibition matchup against the Sabres, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Lyon will get the first two periods before Jack Campbell takes over in the third stanza. The 31-year-old Lyon registered a mark of 21-18-5 with a 3.05 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 44 regular-season outings in 2023-24. Detroit's crowded crease situation will have Lyon competing with Cam Talbot and Ville Husso for starts in 2024-25.

Talbot will patrol the home crease in Monday's preseason contest against Pittsburgh, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Talbot is slated to play the first two periods, and Sebastian Cossa will enter the game in the third frame. The 37-year-old Talbot posted a 27-20-6 record with a 2.50 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 54 regular-season appearances with the Kings in 2023-24. He is battling with Alex Lyon and Ville Husso for Detroit's No. 1 goalie role at training camp.
