Dostal stopped 32 of 35 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

Dostal picked up his sixth straight win, though the Flames didn't make it easy. The Ducks' offense was carried by rookie Beckett Sennecke's first hat trick, with the game-winner securing the hattie in overtime. Dostal has allowed 12 goals during his winning streak and is up to 19-12-2 with a 3.00 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 35 appearances. The Ducks will likely turn to Ville Husso for a tough matchup Monday in Edmonton.

Knight allowed four goals on 24 shots in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Panthers, who also scored an empty-netter.

Knight kept the game close for two periods, but the Panthers took over in the third. The 24-year-old netminder had not allowed more than three goals in any of his previous eight outings, going 5-2-1 in that span. Overall, he's down to a 15-14-6 record with a 2.58 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 35 starts this season. The Blackhawks will look to bounce back Tuesday in Minnesota.

Tarasov stopped 19 of 20 shots in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Tarasov didn't have to do too much in this contest. He allowed a goal to Tyler Bertuzzi late in the second period, but the Panthers bounced back with a four-goal third to cruise to the win. Tarasov has allowed just five goals on 90 shots during his four-game winning streak. For the season, he's up to 8-6-2 with a 2.53 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 17 appearances. Sergei Bobrovsky is likely to be back between the pipes for Tuesday's home game versus the Mammoth.

Lankinen allowed three goals on 25 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Penguins.

Lankinen took his fifth regulation loss in his last six outings, and it was his fifth straight game with at least three goals against. The Penguins' tallies came in a span of 11:58 during the second period, and the Canucks' comeback effort in the third fell short. Lankinen dropped to 7-16-4 with a 3.44 GAA and an .884 save percentage over 28 appearances. He hasn't been good enough and hasn't gotten enough support to regularly contend for wins. The Canucks host the Sharks on Tuesday.

Skinner stopped 30 of 32 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.

Skinner was spotted a 3-0 lead after two periods. The Canucks pushed back with goals from Jake DeBrusk and Teddy Blueger, but Skinner was able to keep the lead for the Penguins, earning his fourth straight win. He's allowed nine goals on 108 shots during the streak. For the season, the 27-year-old netminder improved to 18-12-4 with a 2.65 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 34 starts. The Penguins will have a short break before their next game, which is at home Thursday versus the Blackhawks.

Woll stopped 33 of 36 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche.

The Maple Leafs very nearly got shut out on home ice, but Max Domi managed to find a power-play tally with just 62 seconds left in the third period. It's the second straight start for Woll in which he received only one goal of support, but he hasn't been doing himself any favors of late, either, going 0-2-2 over his last four outings while allowing 16 goals on 139 shots (.885 save percentage).

Blackwood made 32 saves in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

The 29-year-old netminder nearly came away with his third shutout of the season, but Max Domi tapped home a power-play goal with just over a minute left in the third period to spoil it. It was Blackwood's first win in three starts after returning from a lower-body injury Jan. 16, and it was a welcome return to form after he'd coughed up 11 goals on 47 shots in the first two outings. With Scott Wedgewood back with the Avs following the birth of his child, the duo should move back into a timeshare for the final run of games ahead of the Olympic break.

Wedgewood (personal) was activated from the non-roster list Sunday.

Wedgewood sat out Sunday's 4-1 win over Toronto after his wife, Brittany, gave birth to their second child Thursday. The 33-year-old Wedgewood will join his teammates ahead of Wednesday's road matchup against Ottawa. He has a 20-3-5 record with a 2.14 GAA, a .918 save percentage and two shutouts through 30 appearances this season.

Posch was reassigned to AHL Colorado by the Avalanche, the team announced Sunday.

Posch had been up as insurance while Scott Wedgewood dealt with a personal issue. Now that Wedgewood has been added back to the roster, Posch is no longer needed at the NHL level and has been sent back to the AHL. The 23-year-old Posch is 12-5-5 with a 2.45 GAA and a .902 save percentage on the season with the Eagles.

Lankinen will patrol the home crease against Pittsburgh on Sunday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Lankinen is coming off a 19-save effort in Friday's 5-4 loss to New Jersey. He has a 7-15-4 record in the 2025-26 campaign with a 3.45 GAA and an .884 save percentage through 27 outings. Pittsburgh sits ninth in the league with 3.30 goals per game this season.
