Andersen made 33 saves for Denmark on Sunday in a 4-2 win over Latvia at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.

It was Denmark's first win of the Games and first at an Olympics involving NHL players. Andersen put up a strong performance, and he will likely be in net Tuesday when Denmark faces Czechia in the qualification playoffs.

Binnington made 12 saves in Canada's 10-2 rout of France during Olympic round-robin play Sunday.

Canada never trailed in the game after Tom Wilson opened the scoring midway through the first period, and Binnington wasn't terribly busy as his teammates out-shot France 46-14. The St. Louis netminder finished the round robin with a 2-0 record and a .950 save percentage, and he'll get a couple days off before Canada faces the winner of Tuesday's Czechia-Denmark tilt in the quarterfinals Wednesday.

Hellebuyck will guard the Team USA goal against Germany on Sunday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, according to Nick Cotsonika of NHL.com.

He made 17 saves in Thursday's 5-1 win over Latvia. Hellebuyck was Jeremy Swayman's backup in Saturday's 6-3 victory over Denmark.

Andersen will start Sunday's Olympic round-robin game in goal against Latvia.

It will be the second start of the Olympics for Andersen. The 36-year-old started Denmark's first group play game against Germany, stopping 23 of the 26 shots that he faced. With the team on the front end of a back-to-back Saturday, Andersen got the game off, but he is returning to the net Sunday.

Silovs will patrol the crease for Latvia against Denmark on Sunday at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Silovs is coming off a 26-save performance in Saturday's 4-3 win over Germany. He has a 1-1-0 record with a 3.00 GAA and an .886 save percentage through two appearances in the tournament.

Sogaard (lower body) is not dressed for Sunday's Olympic round-robin game against Latvia.

Sogaard left Denmark's last game midway through the third period while facing a heavy workload against Team USA. The 25-year-old likely wouldn't have started Sunday anyway -- Frederik Andersen is expected to start against Latvia -- but it's notable that Sogaard isn't even dressed for the contest. It remains to be seen whether this injury will affect Sogaard's availability for the Senators coming out of the Olympic break.

Dostal turned aside 25 of 29 shots on net in Czechia's 4-3 overtime loss to Switzerland in Olympic round-robin play Sunday.

After tending a clean first period, Dostal allowed two goals in the second before ultimately falling in overtime. The 25-year-old netminder has lost each of his two starts at the Olympics, where he has posted a 4.50 GAA and an .862 save percentage. With Czechia finding its lone win of the tournament with Dan Vladar in net and Karel Vejmelka still waiting to make his Olympic debut, Dostal is unlikely to start the team's first game of bracket play following his struggles to this point in the tournament.

Binnington will defend the net for Canada against France on Sunday at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

He is coming off a 26-save shutout in Canada's 5-0 win over Czechia on Thursday. Binnington wasn't in the lineup for Canada's second game of the tournament, which featured a 24-save performance by Logan Thompson in a 5-1 win over Switzerland.

Dostal is expected to start for Czechia against Switzerland on Sunday at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Dostal stopped 31 of 36 shots en route to a 5-0 loss to Team Canada on Thursday. Czechia rebounded from that loss with a 6-3 victory over France on Friday, but Dostal wasn't in net for that match. Switzerland earned a 4-0 victory over France on Thursday, but the Swiss squad then suffered a 5-1 defeat to Canada on Friday. Dostal has a 21-13-2 record, 2.92 GAA and .897 save percentage in 38 outings with Anaheim in 2025-26.

Halverson posted a 16-save shutout in AHL Syracuse's 5-0 win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.

Halverson is up to four shutouts in 26 appearances this season, one shy of his shutout total from 43 games in the 2024-25 regular season. He's added a 16-6-3 record with a 2.31 GAA and a .907 save percentage. Halverson remains an effective option for organizational depth, but he won't see much action with the Lightning as long as Andrei Vasilevskiy and Jonas Johansson stay healthy.
