Annunen stopped 27 of 29 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Juuse Saros typically struggles against Edmonton, so the Predators turned to Annunen for this game. Despite the loss, the 26-year-old put in a good effort to keep the game close, but his teammates didn't give him enough support. Annunen is 2-3-0 with 11 goals allowed on 122 shots over his last five appearances. For the season, the Finnish netminder is 6-9-2 with a 3.09 GAA and an .888 save percentage through 21 outings, numbers mostly in line with what he did last year. Expect Saros to get the nod versus the Jets on Tuesday.

Ingram stopped 26 of 27 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Predators.

Ingram limited the damage to a Fedor Svechkov goal in the third period. With just eight goals allowed over his last four contests, Ingram has settled in at a better level and has taken the reins as the Oilers' top goalie over Tristan Jarry. The 28-year-old Ingram improved to 10-6-2 on the year with a 2.70 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 21 appearances. The Oilers' next game is Tuesday at home versus the Sharks.

Wallstedt stopped 22 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Wallstedt is winless in his last five appearances, giving up 13 goals on 127 shots in that span. While he isn't playing poorly, he hasn't been good enough to get results, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Filip Gustavsson get a heavier workload down the stretch. Wallstedt is now 14-7-6 with a 2.78 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 28 appearances this season.

Stolarz allowed two goals on 38 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

The Maple Leafs' three-goal second period was enough support for Stolarz to snap his five-game winless stretch. The 32-year-old had to work for it, but he looked sharp against a good opponent. He's up to 8-9-3 with a 3.34 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 22 appearances this season. The Maple Leafs haven't been able to establish a hot hand in net, so Stolarz and Joseph Woll will likely continue to split the playing time.

Daccord is getting the start at home Sunday against the Panthers, according to Joe Pohoryles of Emerald City Spectrum.

Daccord has dropped his last three outings, allowing a total of 13 goals on 78 shots (.833 save percentage) in losses to Ottawa, Nashville and Colorado. Overall, the 29-year-old has an 18-16-5 record, 2.92 GAA and .901 save percentage over 39 outings in 2025-26. Daccord will face a Florida squad that has scored nine goals during its three-game winning streak.

Annunen is drawing the start for Sunday's game in Edmonton, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Annunen's last start was March 3 in Columbus -- he allowed three goals on 27 shots in a 3-2 loss. The 26-year-old is 6-8-2 with a 3.15 GAA and an .886 save percentage across 20 appearances this season. Edmonton is tied for second in the NHL with 3.51 goals per game in 2025-26 and will have Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (personal) back in the lineup Sunday.

Dostal will patrol the road blue paint Sunday against the Canadiens, according to the NHL media site.

Dostal will get the start in the second half of a back-to-back after Ville Husso occupied the crease in Saturday's 2-0 loss in Ottawa. The Canadiens are also on the second half of a back-to-back -- they lost 4-2 at home against the Sharks on Saturday. Dostal earned a win against the Canadiens in Anaheim on March 6, but he gave up five goals on 28 shots in that game. Moreover, Dostal has conceded exactly five goals in four of his last seven appearances.

Tarasov will defend the road cage Sunday in Seattle, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Tarasov picked up his first win since Jan. 25 against the Red Wings on Tuesday, stopping 25 of 28 shots in a 4-3 win. The 26-year-old owns a 9-10-2 record, 2.82 GAA and .901 save percentage through 22 outings this season. The Kraken have struggled lately, but they snapped their four-game losing streak in Vancouver on Saturday in a 5-2 victory. Seattle is tied for 23rd in the NHL with 2.83 goals per game and is 16-13-5 on home ice in 2025-26.

Akhtyamov signed a three-year, $2.7 million contract extension with Toronto on Sunday.

Akhtyamov has gone 18-10-4 with a 2.86 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 32 AHL outings this season. The 24-year-old netminder also made his NHL debut against Edmonton on Dec. 13, stopping all five of the shots he faced in a relief appearance.

Brossoit will get the start in goal for Sunday's contest against the Senators, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

It will be the first NHL start for Brossoit since April of 2024. Since then, the 32-year-old has battled injuries and spent some time in the minors since a midseason trade from Chicago. He's finally back in an NHL crease for the Sharks, who are on the second of a back-to-back and still without Yaroslav Askarov (lower body). Brossoit has an 11-2-1 record with a 2.48 GAA and a .915 save percentage with AHL San Jose.
