Talbot saved all 10 shots on goal he saw in Sunday's 3-0 shutout win over New Jersey.

Talbot entered Sunday's contest at the start of the third period when John Gibson (undisclosed) was removed for precautionary reasons. Talbot's effort down the stretch helped the Red Wings post their first combined shutout since the 2019-20 campaign. Across four appearances since the Olympic break, the 38-year-old netminder has allowed 10 goals on 90 shots (.889 save percentage), which makes him a serviceable fantasy option in deep leagues if Gibson is set to miss time.

Hill stopped 15 of 18 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Hill didn't show a great performance, struggling even against a light workload in this loss. Hill has allowed 15 goals over his four appearances since the Olympic break, though he's salvaged a 2-2-0 record from that stretch. The 29-year-old goalie is down to 6-5-3 with a 3.40 GAA and an .859 save percentage through 16 starts this season. If the Golden Knights continue to alternate between Hill and Akira Schmid, Hill's next outing would be against the Penguins on Thursday.

Ingram stopped 24 of 26 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Ingram did his part in this contest, and the Oilers were able to pull away with three goals in the third period. This was the first time he's logged consecutive wins since his first two outings of the campaign back in December. Ingram is up to 9-6-1 with a 2.78 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 18 appearances. He still hasn't displayed a lot of game-to-game consistency, but he's getting better results than Tristan Jarry, so the Oilers' crease could remain a timeshare for a while. The Oilers have another tough matchup Tuesday when they visit the Avalanche.

Hofer posted a 22-save shutout in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.

Hofer remains locked in with four straight wins, allowing just four goals on 105 shots in those contests. The 25-year-old has started four of six games for the Blues since the Olympic break, suggesting he has maintained his status as the team's top netminder over Jordan Binnington. Hofer is up to five shutouts this season and has matched his career high in wins with 16. He's at 16-11-3 with a 2.69 GAA and a .903 save percentage across 34 appearances. The Blues are back in action at home Tuesday versus the Islanders.

Husso allowed three goals on 34 shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Blues. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Husso didn't get any help from the Ducks' offense, which had a rare off game. The 31-year-old netminder continues to see limited playing time -- this was just his fifth appearances since the start of January. He's at a 7-6-1 record with a 3.08 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 14 appearances. Lukas Dostal is likely to be back between the pipes for Tuesday's game in Winnipeg to begin the Ducks' road trip.

Gibson is unlikely to return to Sunday's game against the Devils due to an undisclosed reason.

Gibson left Monday's game against Nashville early, and he exited Sunday's matchup after two periods. It's not yet clear whether his premature departure was due to an injury, but he was perfect prior to his exit, turning aside all 21 shots he saw over two periods. Cam Talbot took over in the crease to begin the third period, while it's unclear whether Gibson will be available for Tuesday's game against Florida.

Husso will be between the home pipes against the Blues on Sunday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Husso turned in an excellent performance in a rare start Wednesday against the Islanders, stopping 42 of 43 shots in a 5-1 win. The Finnish netminder is 7-5-1 with a 3.08 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 13 outings this season. The Blues sit toward the bottom of the NHL's standings, but they have been much better since getting Robert Thomas back in the lineup, winning three straight road games in Minnesota, Seattle and San Jose.

Hofer will start Sunday's road game against Anaheim, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Hofer has been strong since the Olympic break, going 3-0-0 with a 1.33 GAA and .952 save percentage over his last three starts, and he'll draw the start for the fourth time in six games since the layoff. The Ducks are generating 3.27 goals per game this season, which is tied for 12th in the league.

Milic posted a 31-save shutout in AHL Manitoba's 1-0 win over Toronto on Sunday.

This was Milic's second shutout of the season. He's at a 13-7-4 record with a 2.49 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 25 outings this season. Those are career-best numbers for the 22-year-old goalie, though he continues to share the AHL crease with Domenic DiVincentiis.

Gibson will defend the road net Sunday against the Devils, per Max Bultman of The Athletic.

Gibson has allowed two goals or fewer in four of his last five appearances, going 2-2-0 with a stellar 1.63 GAA and .933 save percentage during that time. The 32-year-old netminder and his squad should have a favorable matchup Sunday, as the Devils are on the second half of a back-to-back, while the Red Wings have been off since Friday. New Jersey also ranks 29th in the NHL with 2.57 goals per game in 2025-26.
