Binnington allowed five goals on 38 shots in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Ducks.

Binnington let three leads slip away in this game, but he made all three stops in the shootout to get the win anyway. He's won four of his last six outings, but he's allowed 20 goals in that span, so he's hardly inspiring much confidence. The 30-year-old is at 28-20-4 with a 2.88 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 55 appearances this season. The Blues' fate is out of their hands at this point, but Binnington figures to see most of the starts as long as St. Louis is mathematically in the playoff race. The Blues return home to face the Blackhawks on Wednesday.

Allen allowed one goal on 30 shots in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Predators.

After starter Kaapo Kahkonen let in a goal and exited the game just 8:39 into the first frame, Allen filled in between the pipes and gave his team a chance for the win all night. The only puck that got past him prior to the shootout came on a third-period Nashville power play. Allen has only two wins in his last six games and has allowed 20 goals over that span. With only four games left on the schedule and the Devils four points out of a playoff spot, their playoff prospects are looking dim, and Tuesday's difficult home matchup against Toronto may not help matters.

Primeau allowed four goals on 45 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Primeau was perfect with 18 saves in a relief appearance versus the Maple Leafs on Saturday, but his luck didn't carry over to Sunday's contest. The 24-year-old kept the Rangers off the board for over half the game, but they broke through with a pair of power-play goals and took over in the third period. Primeau is down to 8-9-2 with a 2.91 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 21 appearances. The Canadiens' next game is at home Tuesday versus the struggling Flyers.

Saros kicked out 23 of 25 shots in a 3-2 shootout win over the Devils on Sunday.

Jack Hughes scored a goal early in the first frame on Saros, but the 28-year-old netminder played well after that, letting in only one more goal and turning away all three shootout attempts to secure the win. It was Saros' seventh win in his past nine games, and he has allowed only 22 goals over that span. The Predators are sitting comfortably in one of the Western Conference wild-card spots heading into Tuesday's home game against the Jets.

Shesterkin stopped 26 of 28 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

Shesterkin continues to roll -- he has five wins over his last six outings. The 28-year-old gave up goals to Cole Caufield and Alex Newhook, but the Rangers' top six and power play put in a good performance to overcome those mistakes. Shesterkin is up to 34-16-2 with a 2.64 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 52 starts this season. The Rangers' next game is on the road versus the Islanders on Tuesday.

Korpisalo kicked out 20 of 22 shots in a 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals on Sunday.

Even though he did not face many shots in the contest, Korpisalo turned away the final 12 sent his way to give the Senators the win in overtime. Korpisalo has been streaky as of late -- this was his first win after three straight losses, which were in turn preceded by three consecutive wins. The Senators are officially out of the playoff race but have been riding Korpisalo down the stretch, as this was his fifth consecutive start.

Lindgren allowed three goals on 21 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Senators.

In a low-shot contest, Lindgren allowed the only shot sent his way in overtime to end the game in Ottawa's favor. After an exceptional month of March in which he had nine wins and only three losses, Lindgren has lost five straight starts. The Capitals still have a strong opportunity for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, and Lindgren's slump hasn't cost him the starting job over Darcy Kuemper so far, though it remains to be seen which goalie gets the nod for a pivotal game against the Red Wings on Tuesday.

Kahkonen (lower body) "isn't doing great" after leaving Sunday's game against Nashville, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Kahkonen left after facing just five shots Sunday and the early reports don't sound particularly positive. He'll likely undergo additional testing before the team has a clearer update ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Toronto.

Blackwood stopped 23 of 27 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to Arizona. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

With the game knotted up at 2-2 in the third frame, Blackwood allowed two even-strength goals to finish with an .852 save percentage. As the current No. 1 goalie for the Sharks, Blackwood has only one win in his last seven starts, and he has allowed 21 goals over that span. Blackwood is at 10-24-3 with a 3.40 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 42 contests this season.

Ingram allowed two goals on 27 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over San Jose.

With the game knotted up at 2-2 in the third frame, Ingram backstopped his team to a win by kicking aside the final 12 shots sent his way while getting three more goals in support. In his last eight games, Ingram has four wins and four losses with 23 goals against. Ingram has split the last 12 games evenly with Karel Vejmelka, and that trend's likely to continue over Arizona's final five games.
