Dobes will guard the road goal against the Wild on Monday.

Dobes has stopped 151 of the 169 shots he has faced during his six-game winning streak. He has gone 18-5-3 in the 2025-26 campaign with a 2.92 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 26 appearances. Minnesota ranks 12th in the league with 3.25 goals per game.

Blackwood is slated to tend the twine at home versus the Red Wings on Monday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Blackwood will be making his fifth appearance in the Avalanche's last six contests, having gone 2-2-0 with 10 goals allowed and one shutout over his previous four games. Injuries have limited the 29-year-old Ontario native to just 20 outings this year, but he has still managed to rack up 15 wins and currently is sporting a career-best 2.32 GAA.

Hellebuyck is expected to start Monday's road game against Dallas, according to Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.

Hellebuyck has one win in his last six outings (1-3-2) while surrendering 16 goals on 175 shots during that span. He has a 13-15-6 record this campaign with a 2.71 GAA and a .902 save percentage across 34 appearances. Dallas sits 11th in the league with 3.27 goals per game this season.

Wolf will defend the home crease against the Maple Leafs on Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Wolf is coming off a win over the Sharks at home Saturday, but he's in the midst of a skid in which he's gone 2-6-1 with a 3.56 GAA and .882 save percentage over nine starts since the beginning of the calendar year. He made a road start against Toronto on Oct. 28, allowing four goals on 37 shots in a regulation loss.

Oettinger will protect the home net against Winnipeg on Monday, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

Despite allowing 11 goals on 87 shots, Oettinger has won his last four outings. He has a 21-10-4 record in 2025-26 with a 2.69 GAA, a .900 save percentage and two shutouts through 35 appearances. Winnipeg is tied for 22nd in the league this season with 2.87 goals per game.

Petersen was recalled from AHL Iowa on Monday, per the NHL media site.

Petersen has a 4-13-0 record with a 2.82 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 17 minor-league appearances this season. With Jesper Wallstedt (illness) unlikely to suit up for Monday's home game against Montreal, Petersen will probably serve as Filip Gustavsson's backup.

Sorokin will patrol the home crease against Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Sorokin will get the second half of the Islanders' back-to-back after David Rittich plays in Monday's road matchup against Washington. The 30-year-old Sorokin made 38 saves in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Nashville. He has gone 18-13-2 this season with six shutouts, a 2.44 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 33 appearances. Pittsburgh is tied for fifth in the league with 3.40 goals per game this campaign.

Wallstedt is dealing with an illness and is unlikely to dress against the Canadiens on Monday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Wallstedt has given up three or more goals in each of his last five contests, posting a 2-3-0 record and 4.44 GAA. The 23-year-old backstop may not have featured in Monday's game anyway, so it's unlikely he is missing a start. Filip Gustavsson will get the nod versus the Habs while Cal Petersen could be called up from the minors to serve as the backup.

Stevenson will defend the home crease against the Islanders on Monday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Stevenson made his first start of the season for the Capitals at home against Carolina on Saturday, turning aside 19 of 22 shots (.864 save percentage) in a 4-3 overtime victory, marking his first win at the NHL level. He'll have a more favorable matchup against the Islanders, who are scoring 2.84 goals per game this year, which is the ninth-worst mark in the league.

Thompson (upper body) will not be in action versus the Islanders on Monday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

According to Silber, the Capitals are hoping that Thompson can suit up against the Predators on Thursday. With Clay Stevenson getting the nod at home Monday, fantasy managers should probably expect Garin Bjorklund to make his NHL debut in Tuesday's matchup against the Flyers. As such, Thompson figures to miss both ends of Washington's back-to-back.
