    Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Expected to start Sunday

    Dostal is the expected starter for Sunday's home matchup against the Lightning, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports.

    John Gibson will be unavailable due to an illness, paving the way for Dostal to draw the start. Dostal dominated Chicago on Thursday, stopping all 29 shots he faced in a shutout win. However, the 23-year-old is just 11-19-1 with a 3.46 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 35 appearances this season, including 3-8-0 with a 3.40 GAA since the start of February.

  • Coyotes' Connor Ingram: Tending twine Sunday

    Ingram will be stationed between the pipes for Sunday's home tilt against Dallas.

    Ingram has been tagged with 12 goals on 102 shots over his last three starts, resulting in a 1-2-0 record over that stretch. The 26-year-old is 19-18-3 with a 2.87 GAA and a .908 save percentage this season. Ingram lost in Dallas after allowing five goals on 33 shots Wednesday.

    Ducks' John Gibson: Out Sunday

    Gibson (illness) will not be available Sunday against Tampa Bay, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports.

    Gibson is riding a brutal four-game losing skid, during which he's yielded 22 goals on 132 shots. The 30-year-old's next chance to get back between the pipes will be Tuesday in Seattle. In his absence, Lukas Dostal is expected to start with Alex Stalock backing up.

  • Alex Stalock G | ANA

    Ducks' Alex Stalock: Promoted Sunday

    Stalock was promoted from AHL San Diego on Sunday.

    Stalock's promotion could mean that one of John Gibson or Lukas Dostal will be out Sunday against the Lightning. Stalock has not appeared in an NHL contest this season.

  • Stars' Jake Oettinger: Tending twine Sunday

    Oettinger will get the starting nod in Arizona on Sunday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

    Oettinger will make his third straight start for Dallas; in his previous two outings, he's stopped a combined 43 of 47 shots. The 25-year-old is 6-2-0 over his last eight appearances despite a lackluster.874 save percentage during that stretch. Oettinger is 27-13-4 with a disappointing .897 save percentage and 3.00 GAA this season.

  • Senators' Anton Forsberg: Not starting after all

    Forsberg won't start Sunday's home matchup against Edmonton, according to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

    Forsberg was initially expected to get the nod, but Joonas Korpisalo will start again instead. Korpisalo made 18 saves in a 5-2 win over New Jersey on Saturday.

  • Senators' Joonas Korpisalo: Starting Sunday

    Korpisalo will get the starting nod at home against Edmonton, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

    Anton Forsberg was originally slated to start but Korpisalo will go back-to-back after stopping 18 of 20 shots in Saturday's win over the Devils. Korpisalo has won three of his last four starts, improving his record this season to 16-21-4. Since the start of February, he's gone 4-5-2 with an .884 save percentage.

  • Senators' Anton Forsberg: Facing Oilers

    Forsberg will patrol the home crease Sunday against Edmonton, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

    Forsberg will get the second half of Ottawa's back-to-back after Joonas Korpisalo played in Saturday's 5-2 win over New Jersey. The 31-year-old Forsberg has one win over his past five outings, surrendering 21 goals on 140 shots during that span. He has gone 12-12-0 this season with a 3.42 GAA and an .885 save percentage through 25 games played. The Oilers rank fourth in the league this campaign with 3.57 goals per contest.

  • Maple Leafs' Ilya Samsonov: Won't dress Sunday

    Samsonov (undisclosed) is "certainly not at 100 percent" and will not be available Sunday against Carolina, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

    Samsonov was injured Saturday against Edmonton and seemingly avoided a serious injury, but the team will give him at least one game off to see how his recovery progresses. Toronto's next game will be Tuesday against the Devils. Martin Jones will back up Joseph Woll on Sunday.
