  • Senators' Mads Sogaard: Sent down Tuesday

    Sogaard was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Tuesday.

    Sogaard has logged just two games this season, posting a 1-0-0 record, 4.68 GAA and .833 save percentage. Now that Linus Ullmark is back with the team, the 25-year-old Sogaard will likely spend the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign in the minors, barring any additional goalie injuries in Ottawa.

  • Ville Husso G | ANA

    Ducks' Ville Husso: Tending road twine

    Husso will be between the road pipes Monday against the Oilers, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

    Husso has been in net just once during the Ducks' active seven-game winning streak, as he turned aside 17 of 18 shots in a 2-1 win over the Kings on Jan. 17. The 30-year-old heads into Monday's matchup as a risky option -- Anaheim is on the second half of a back-to-back, while the Oilers have been off since Saturday. Edmonton is tied for third in the NHL with 3.38 goals per game this season and is 3-2-0 in its last five contests.

  • Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Drawing start in Tampa Bay

    Vejmelka will occupy the road crease against the Lightning on Monday.

    Vejmelka is currently in peak form -- he's won eight games in a row while posting a 1.99 GAA and a .924 save percentage during that time. It'll be a tough matchup for the 29-year-old against one of the NHL's best teams, as Vejmelka has already been defeated by the Lightning this season, allowing three goals on 25 shots in a 4-2 home loss Nov. 2. Tampa Bay also ranks second in the league with 3.48 goals per game in 2025-26.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Set to face Utah

    Vasilevskiy will defend the home net Monday against the Mammoth, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

    Vasilevskiy has won three consecutive outings after his eight-game winning streak was snapped in St. Louis on Jan. 16. The all-world netminder has allowed a total of just three goals on 62 shots (.952 save percentage) in wins over Dallas, San Jose and Chicago in his last three outings. Vasilevskiy will have a formidable task Monday against a Mammoth squad that has scored at least five goals in three straight contests and is riding a five-game winning streak.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Quick: Drawing home start Monday

    Quick will defend the home crease against the Bruins on Monday, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

    Quick has struggled over the past month, going 0-6-1 with a 5.40 GAA and .801 save percentage over his last seven appearances, a stretch that includes a 10-2 loss to Boston on the road in which he allowed six goals on 20 shots (.700 save percentage). He's lost out on playing time recently, as he served as the backup for three of the Rangers' last four games. The Bruins are scoring 3.31 goals per game this year, which is tied for seventh in the NHL.

  • Jakub Dobes G | MON

    Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Patrolling crease versus Vegas

    Dobes will be in goal against Vegas at home Tuesday.

    Dobes is undefeated in regulation over his last six appearances, posting a 5-0-1 record, but has played in just six of the Canadiens' last 21 contests. Still, with Jacob Fowler having been sent back to AHL Laval, the 24-year-old Dobes should see an increased workload behind Sam Montembeault.

  • John Gibson G | DET

    Red Wings' John Gibson: In goal Tuesday

    Gibson will protect the home net against the Kings on Tuesday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Gibson has won his last eight outings while stopping 210 of the 224 shots he has faced. He has a 21-9-1 record this campaign with a 2.62 GAA, a .906 save percentage and three shutouts through 32 appearances. Los Angeles is tied for 28th in the league with 2.60 goals per game this season.

  • Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Tending twine Monday

    Korpisalo will defend the road crease against the Rangers on Monday, Belle Fraser of the Bruins' official site reports.

    Korpisalo has been strong over his five outings since the start of the calendar year, going 4-0-0 with a 1.42 GAA and .948 save percentage. Although the Rangers are scoring just 2.63 goals per game this year -- which is the sixth-worst mark in the league -- Korpisalo struggled in a home start against the Blueshirts on Nov. 28, allowing five goals on 36 shots (.861 save percentage) in a 6-2 loss.

  • Dan Vladar G | PHI

    Flyers' Dan Vladar: Close to return

    Vladar (lower body) participated in Monday's morning skate and is nearing a return to the lineup, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.

    Vladar will miss his sixth straight game when the Flyers host the Islanders on Monday, but he probably could have served as Samuel Ersson's backup. However, Philadelphia will give the 28-year-old Vladar some additional time to recover before activating him from injured reserve. He has posted a 16-7-4 record with a 2.46 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 28 appearances this season.

  • Blue Jackets' Elvis Merzlikins: Game against Los Angeles postponed

    Merzlikins and the Blue Jackets won't play against the Kings on Monday since the game was postponed due to severe winter weather in the Columbus area.

    Merzlikins was slated to draw the start at home Monday, but the game will be rescheduled for March 9. The next game on the Blue Jackets' schedule is a home matchup against the Flyers on Wednesday, but it's not yet clear who will start in net during that game.
