Commesso posted a 16-save shutout in AHL Rockford's 3-0 win over Toronto on Sunday.

This was Commesso's first win of the season in five outings. He's posted a 2.67 GAA and an .884 save percentage while going 1-4-0. Commesso is the Blackhawks' organizational No. 3 in goal, but he likely won't see much NHL time as long as Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom are healthy.

Skinner is slated to start at home against Montreal on Sunday, per Danielle Bain of TSN.

Skinner will be looking to get back in win column after going 0-1-2 while allowing nine goals on 94 shots (.904 save percentage) across that stretch. He's 3-1-3 with a 2.67 GAA and a .912 save percentage in seven appearances this campaign. Montreal is 5-3-2 and has averaged 3.20 goals per game this season.

Kolosov posted a 16-save shutout in AHL Lehigh Valley's 2-0 win over Belleville on Sunday.

Kolosov has gone 2-2-0 with 10 goals allowed on 110 shots over four games to start the AHL campaign. The 24-year-old goalie is unlikely to see much NHL time this season unless Dan Vladar or Joseph Woll get hurt.

Sorokin will start Sunday's road game against Dallas, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Sorokin got the night off Thursday against the Kings, but he'll return to the crease Sunday for the third time in the last four games. Across his first seven appearances of the regular season, he has gone 5-2-0 with a 1.72 GAA and .934 save percentage.

Fowler will draw the start in Sunday's road game against Winnipeg, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Fowler is in the midst of a four-game winning streak, and he'll draw the start in a second consecutive matchup Sunday. Across his five appearances to begin the regular season, the 21-year-old has gone 4-1-0 with a 1.94 GAA and .910 save percentage.

Oettinger will protect the home net against the Islanders on Sunday, per Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

Oettinger has stopped 54 of 58 shots during his three-game winning streak. In eight appearances this campaign, he owns a 5-2-1 record and has allowed only 10 goals on 165 shots. The Islanders (5-3-2) rank 21st in the league with 2.90 goals per game this season.

Knight will patrol the home crease against Florida on Sunday, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Entering Sunday's matchup, Knight has surrendered seven goals on 59 shots in consecutive regulation-time losses. He has stopped 222 of 250 shots during his 3-5-0 start to the 2026-27 campaign. Florida (5-4-2) is tied for 22nd in the league this season with 2.82 goals per game.

Merilainen is expected to protect the home net against the Wild on Sunday, per Canucks play-by-play announcer Brendan Batchelor.

Merilainen is 0-2-1 in his last three starts, surrendering 11 goals on 120 shots over that span. In seven appearances this season, he has stopped 187 of 204 shots for a 1-2-1 record. Minnesota (7-3-2) ranks 16th in the league this campaign with 3.08 goals per game.

Luukkonen stopped 30 of 34 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Capitals.

The Sabres jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead, but Luukkonen gave it all back almost as fast. He's now winless in his last three starts, allowing 11 goals on 95 shots in that span. For the season, the 27-year-old has a 3-3-3 record with a 3.56 GAA and an .866 save percentage across nine games. Luukkonen remains the Sabres' top option in goal ahead of Colten Ellis, but with a tough road trip through California for the week ahead, Luukkonen may best be left on the bench in fantasy.

Lindgren stopped 18 of 21 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres.

Lindgren has won his last two outings, though those have been his two worst games of the season so far from a puck-stopping perspective. He's gone 2-1-0 with nine goals allowed on 79 shots. Lindgren would see No. 1 duties if Logan Thompson's lower-body injury keeps him out any longer, though Thompson is eligible to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Flyers. That's the first half of a back-to-back, so Lindgren should be getting at least one more start in the very near future.
