Overall, the 23-year-old netminder is 10-18-1 with a .900 save percentage and 3.57 GAA this year. He'll face a hot Blues team that's riding a three-game winning streak.

Cormier was reassigned to the Florida Everblades of the ECHL on Sunday.

Cormier was brought up Saturday to back up Sergei Bobrovsky due to Anthony Stolarz being unavailable with an illness. The 26-year-old Cormier will now return to the ECHL, where he's 8-6-3 with a .906 save percentage this year.

Hofer will guard the home net Sunday versus Anaheim, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Hofer was excellent in his last outing, stopping 36 shots in a 5-1 win over the Bruins on Monday. The 23-year-old Hofer is 11-11-0 with a .913 save percentage and 2.79 GAA while backing up Jordan Binnington this season. He'll have a favorable matchup against a Ducks team averaging just 2.51 goals per game, the third-lowest mark in the league.

Thompson will guard the home net Sunday against New Jersey.

Thompson gave up seven goals in a loss to the Sabres on March 2 in his last appearance, then watched Adin Hill start each of Vegas' last five games. Overall, the 27-year-old Thompson is 17-12-5 with a .903 save percentage and 2.87 GAA this year. He'll face a Devils team that's averaging 3.27 goals per game.

Shesterkin will patrol the home crease Sunday versus the Islanders, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Shesterkin surrendered five goals on 27 shots in a 6-3 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday during his last outing. Prior to that, he stopped 54 shots across two consecutive shutout victories.

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

Hellebuyck is coming off a 34-save effort in a 4-2 loss to Nashville on Wednesday. He has a 30-15-3 record this season with four shutouts, a 2.33 GAA and a .921 save percentage through 48 games played. Columbus ranks 23rd in the league this campaign with 2.93 goals per contest.

Wolf allowed two goals on 38 shots in Saturday's 5-2 home win against the Canadiens.

With the Flames up 3-0, the Canadiens could not get one by Wolf until the 23rd shot in the second period. He allowed one more goal but was able to stop both power-play shots and finished with a .947 save percentage. It was the fourth start in a row for Wolf, including three consecutive wins, since the injury to Jacob Markstrom. If Wolf continues to impress in his starts, he could push Dan Vladar for the permanent backup goalie role, increasing his fantasy value.

Primeau stopped 23 of 28 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Flames.

It was a tough hole for the Canadiens to climb out of as Primeau allowed three consecutive goals to the Flames before the halfway mark. Montreal tried to make a game out of it but the two early Calgary goals in the third ended up being a backbreaker. This was Primeau's third start since Jake Allen was traded to the Devils and he has produced only one win over that span. While Primeau's recent shutout is encouraging, Montreal's struggles make him a risky option for fantasy managers seeking a reliable starting goaltender.
