Ullmark will start in goal Sunday against the Hurricanes, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.

After a tough start Saturday in which he allowed four goals on 23 shots against the Wild, Ullmark will get right back between the pipes Sunday in the second half of the weekend back-to-back. The 32-year-old is 24-12-8 on the season with a 2.84 GAA and an .886 save percentage. This will be Ullmark's first start of the season against the Hurricanes, who rank fourth in the NHL at 3.51 goals per game.

Gauthier has been recalled by the Penguins from ECHL Wheeling on Sunday, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

Gauthier is up as insurance to Arturs Silovs because Stuart Skinner was scratched from Sunday's game after being struck with a puck near the eye Saturday. Gauthier was in the ECHL with Wheeling but is in the midst of a fabulous season, as he sports a 20-7-2 record, 2.00 GAA and a .932 save percentage.

Skinner (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Sunday's home matchup against Florida.

With Skinner unavailable for at least one game, Arturs Silovs will start again after the latter made 19 saves in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Panthers. Pittsburgh recalled Taylor Gauthier from ECHL Wheeling on Sunday to serve as Silovs' backup.

Silovs led the team out for warmups and will get the start Sunday against the Panthers, Dan Potash of SportsNet Pittsburgh reports.

With Stuart Skinner (upper body) out Sunday after being struck with a puck in the eye, Silovs will earn a start for the second straight day against the Panthers. The 25-year-old Silovs turned aside just 19 of the 23 Florida shots he faced Saturday but was rewarded with nine goals of support to earn the win. He is 18-10-8 with a 3.01 GAA and an .888 save percentage this season.

Korpisalo will get the start between the pipes Sunday against the Flyers, Kevin Paul Dupont of The Boston Globe reports.

Korpisalo has won both of his last two starts but needed some offensive support in order to do so. The 31-year-old allowed three goals in both victories, part of a stretch of five straight games in which he's allowed at least that many. Overall, he's 13-9-4 on the season with a 3.27 GAA and an .889 save percentage. The Flyers are 22nd in the league at 2.86 goals per game.

Vladar will patrol the home crease against Boston on Sunday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Vladar is coming off a 21-save performance in Friday's 4-1 win over the Islanders. He has a 25-13-7 record this campaign with a 2.47 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 47 appearances. Boston ranks eighth in the league with 3.30 goals per game this season.

Tolopilo stopped 17 of 23 shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Mammoth.

Tolopilo got another start due to the absence of Kevin Lankinen (illness), but he struggled between the pipes once again. The 25-year-old has been far from reliable in most fantasy formats and has allowed three or more goals in six games in a row while allowing at least four goals in the last four. Tolopilo has posted a 5.69 GAA and an .819 save percentage during an ongoing four-game losing streak.

Tarasov will get the start in net Sunday against the Penguins, Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network reports.

Tarasov and the Panthers will try to bounce back Sunday against the same opponent after Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Penguins. Starter Sergei Bobrovsky was chased early Saturday, and Tarasov didn't fare much better in relief, as the latter allowed three goals on 12 shots. Tarasov carries a 10-14-2 record, a 3.15 GAA and an .895 save percentage into Sunday's rematch.

Vejmelka stopped 19 of 23 shots in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Canucks.

Vejmelka didn't have his best performance against one of the worst offenses in the NHL, but the offense provided him enough support to extend his winning streak to three games. Even though this was a down performance for the 29-year-old goaltender, he had posted a save percentage of at least . 915 in three of his previous four starts, so he remains a player worth trusting in all formats down the stretch of the regular season. Vejmelka has made six appearances in a row, going 4-1-0 with a 3.12 GAA and an .887 save percentage over that stretch.

Gustavsson will defend the road net against the Red Wings on Sunday, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Gustavsson will get the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back after Jesper Wallstedt played in Saturday's 4-1 win over Ottawa. The 27-year-old Gustavsson has a 27-13-6 record this campaign with four shutouts, a 2.56 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 47 appearances. Detroit sits 21st in the league with 2.88 goals per game this season.
