Georgiev will patrol the home crease Sunday against Pittsburgh.

Georgiev has stopped 129 of 138 shots for a .935 save percentage during his five-game winning streak. Through 55 games played this campaign, he has earned a 36-15-3 record with a 2.80 GAA and a .902 save percentage. The Penguins rank 24th in the league this season with 2.88 goals per contest.

Nedeljkovic will defend the road net Sunday versus the Avalanche, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

Nedeljkovic made 25 saves in a 6-3 win over Detroit on March 17 during his last start. In 25 appearances this season, he has supplied a 10-6-4 record with a 2.92 GAA and a .904 save percentage. Colorado ranks first in the league this campaign with 3.74 goals per contest.

Hellebuyck will guard the road net Sunday against the Capitals, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Hellebuyck will get a chance to quickly erase Saturday's uncharacteristic performance, in which he allowed five goals on 26 shots before he was pulled in the second period of a 6-3 loss to the Islanders. Hellebuyck is 32-16-3 with a .921 save percentage and 2.38 GAA on the season. The Caps are averaging 2.68 goals per game, the sixth-lowest mark in the league, though they are coming off a 7-6 win over Carolina in their last outing.

Thompson will defend the road net Monday against the Blues, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Thompson logged 16:00 of ice time in Saturday's 4-2 win over Columbus after Adin Hill (undisclosed) couldn't complete the contest. An update on Hill hasn't been provided yet, but Thompson was already scheduled to play versus the Blues. The 27-year-old Thompson has a 19-12-5 record this season with a 2.77 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 38 games played. St. Louis is tied for 25th in the league this campaign with 2.86 goals per contest.

Poulter was brought up from AHL Utica on Sunday.

In a corresponding move, Tyler Wotherspoon was sent back the minors. Poulter has a 17-8-1 record with a 2.55 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 28 AHL appearances this season.

Fleury stopped 22 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to St. Louis.

The Wild took a 3-2 lead into the third period, but Fleury couldn't bring it home as Jordan Kyrou beat him twice in the third before Brandon Saad slipped a puck through his five-hole in OT. Fleury has gone 0-1-2 while giving up 12 goals on 80 shots (.850 save percentage) over his last three starts, and with Minnesota fighting to stay in the playoff picture, it may not be long before Filip Gustavsson reclaims the top job in the Wild crease.

Binnington made 30 saves in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Wild.

He was the busier of the two netminders, facing 34 shots to Marc-Andre Fleury's 27, but after allowing three goals in a wobbly second period, Binnington rallied over the final 20-plus minutes. The 30-year-old goalie has given up four tallies in three of his last five starts, but he's still gone 5-3-0 with a 2.46 GAA and .926 save percentage in March. Saturday's win was the 25th of the season for Binnington, the third time in his career he's reached that mark.

Pickard stopped all five shots he faced in relief of Stuart Skinner in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Skinner was pulled after giving up five goals on 23 shots over two periods, and Pickard handled most of the third period. The Maple Leafs were able to pot an empty-netter as the Oilers' comeback fell short. Pickard remains at 10-4-0 on the year with a 2.21 GAA and a .920 save percentage through 16 appearances. He'll likely be back between the pipes for the second half of the back-to-back when the Oilers visit the Senators on Sunday.

Cooley gave up five goals on 31 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

Cooley was spotted a 4-0 lead early in the second period, but he let the Blackhawks back in. Seth Jones then completed Chicago's comeback 18 seconds into overtime. Cooley has now allowed nine goals on 61 shots across two NHL appearances since he was dealt from the Sabres to the Sharks at the trade deadline. Mackenzie Blackwood is the Sharks' starter, but they'll likely continue to give Cooley ample looks down the stretch to see if he can help them during their rebuilding years.

Mrazek stopped 26 of 30 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.

The Blackhawks left Mrazek in the game despite him giving up four goals by the 1:24 mark of the second period. After that, Chicago rallied and pulled off an impressive comeback, giving Mrazek his third win in five outings. The 32-year-old is at 16-26-4 with a 3.11 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 49 appearances. The Blackhawks' next game is Tuesday at home versus the Flames before they get back on the road again.
