Dostal will defend the road net Tuesday against Calgary, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Dostal has surrendered 10 goals on 85 shots during his three-game winless skid. Over 38 contests this campaign, he holds a record of 11-21-2 with a 3.46 GAA and a .900 save percentage. The Flames sit 16th in the league this season with 3.07 goals per game.

Gibson, contrary to previous reports, will not get the starting nod against Calgary on the road Tuesday. Instead, Lukas Dostal will be between the pipes, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Based on the Ducks' goalie rotation, Gibson was in line to start, but it seems his six-game losing streak has changed the team's mind about which direction to go. Still, the veteran goaltender should see plenty of work the rest of the way even if Dostal takes a slight edge in actual starts.

Thompson was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, indicating he will protect the home net Tuesday against Vancouver.

Thompson has gone 6-2-1 with a .928 save percentage over his past 10 appearances. He is coming off a 32-save performance in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over Minnesota. Thompson has posted a 22-12-5 record this season with a 2.63 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 41 games played. The Canucks rank sixth in the league this campaign with 3.45 goals per contest.

Gibson will get the starting nod on the road against the Flames on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Gibson is mired in a six-game losing streak during which he posted a 5.54 GAA and an .844 save percentage. The veteran netminder continues to split the workload with Lukas Dostal despite the slump -- a trend that should continue over the final few weeks of the season.

Ullmark will be in net Tuesday on the road against Nashville, per Adam Pellerin.

Ullmark lost his last start Wednesday against Tampa Bay, surrendering two goals on 30 shots en route to a 3-1 defeat. Overall, the 30-year-old has been rock solid this season, recording a .913 save percentage and a 19-9-7 record. He will have a tough matchup against Nashville, a team which is 22-12-3 at home this year and currently sits in the number one wild-card spot in the Western Conference.

Markstrom will be guarding the home crease Tuesday against the Ducks, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Markstrom picked up a 4-2 win Saturday against the Kings, stopping 16 of 18 shots. The 34-year-old has been solid this season, recording a .908 save percentage and a 23-19-2 record in 44 appearances. He will have a favorable matchup at home against the Ducks who are 13-23-2 on the road.

Luukkonen was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Katelyn Kardaman of the Sabres' official site reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease Tuesday versus Washington.

Luukkonen is coming off a 19-save effort in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Toronto. In 48 appearances this campaign, he has supplied a 24-20-3 record with a 2.58 GAA and a .910 save percentage. The Capitals sit 27th in the league this season with 2.70 goals per contest.

Lindgren will guard the road goal Tuesday versus the Sabres, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Lindgren is coming off a 27-save effort in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to Boston. He has provided a 21-13-6 record this season with a 2.71 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 42 appearances. Buffalo ranks 22nd in the league this campaign with 2.95 goals per contest.

Johansson (lower body) isn't expected to be in the lineup Wednesday against Toronto, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.

Johansson is poised to miss his second straight contest, so the Lightning recalled Matt Tomkins from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday. The 28-year-old Johansson has a 12-7-5 record this season with a 3.37 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 26 games played. If Johansson is ruled out for Thursday's matchup versus Montreal, Tomkins may play in the second half of Tampa Bay's back-to-back.

Saros will start against the Bruins at home Tuesday, per Emma Lingan of The Hockey News.

Saros struggled mightily in his last start, stopping 21 of 27 shots in an 8-4 loss Thursday to the Coyotes. The 28-year-old has, however, been pretty good overall this season, recording a .906 save percentage and a 22-4-3 record in 58 starts. He will have a tough test Tuesday at home against the Bruins who are 20-8-9 on the road this year.
