Stevenson stopped 36 of 37 shots in AHL Hershey's 2-1 overtime win over Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Stevenson is 5-3-0 with a 2.49 GAA and a .909 save percentage over eight games for the Bears in 2025-26, playing better than he did last season but below his 2023-24 level. Stevenson is considered among the most NHL-ready goalies that aren't at that level already, so he'll be the next man up if Logan Thompson or Charlie Lindgren gets hurt.

Beckman posted a 34-save shutout in QMJHL Baie-Comeau's 1-0 win over Rouyn-Noranda on Sunday.

This was Beckman's second shutout of the year and the ninth of his junior career. He's earned half of his wins this season via shutout, as he's gone 4-12-3 in 21 appearances with a 2.99 GAA and a .912 save percentage. Baie-Comeau has had a rough season, but the Senators prospect is doing his best to keep their games close despite the poor results.

Talbot will patrol the road blue paint against the Rangers on Sunday, according to Dan Rosen of NHL.com.

Talbot will get the nod in the second half of a back-to-back after John Gibson was in net for Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to Buffalo. The 38-year-old Talbot owns a 6-7-0 record, 3.04 GAA and .896 save over 13 career regular-season appearances against the Rangers. New York has won three consecutive games, scoring 14 goals during that span.

Quick will be between the home pipes Sunday versus the Red Wings, per Colin Stephenson of Newsday.

Quick has been tremendous with a minimal workload in 2025-26 -- he is 3-1-0 with one shutout and has turned aside 96 of 101 shots across four starts. The two-time Stanley Cup champion's last start also came against Detroit, as he stopped 32 of 33 shots in a 4-1 win earlier this month. The Red Wings are coming off a 5-4 overtime loss to the Sabres on Saturday and are tied for 18th in the NHL with 3.00 goals per game.

Lindbom will serve as the starting goaltender during Sunday's road game against the Wild, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

Lindbom has split time in net with Akira Schmid while Adin Hill (lower body) has been sidelined. However, Lindbom hasn't yet picked up his first win this year, going 0-3-1 with a 3.29 GAA and .869 save percentage. He'll draw the start in the second half of a back-to-back set Sunday and will have a relatively favorable matchup against the Wild, who are scoring just 2.74 goals per game this year, which is the seventh-worst mark in the league.

Johansson is getting the start Sunday against the Canucks, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.

Andrei Vasilevskiy started Saturday, so it will be Johansson getting the second end of the back-to-back Sunday against the Canucks. The 30-year-old has a 3-1-0 record, 2.83 GAA and .913 save percentage in five appearances this season. The Canucks come in having won just one of their last four contests, but offense hasn't been the issue; Vancouver has scored 14 goals over that timeframe.

Lankinen will get the start Sunday against the Lightning, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.

Since the injury to Thatcher Demko (lower body), Lankinen has been heavily leaned on by the Canucks. The 30-year-old Lankinen will play in his sixth straight contest despite coming out on the winning end just once in the previous five appearances. He carries a 3-5-2 record, 3.58 GAA and .886 save percentage into the contest against the Lightning, who have scored at least three goals in four consecutive games.

Demko (lower body) is week-to-week, according to Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 on Sunday.

Demko remains on injured reserve and will miss his second straight game against Tampa Bay on Sunday after getting hurt in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Winnipeg. He has posted a 5-4-0 record with a 2.80 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 10 appearances this season. Kevin Lankinen will likely see most of the starts during Demko's absence, while Jiri Patera will occupy the backup role.

Dobes will tend the goal for Monday's game against the Blue Jackets, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports Sunday.

Dobes was pulled from his last start against the Stars early, allowing five goals on just 13 shots. He'll get the chance to rebound Monday against the Blue Jackets and try to find his early-season form. The 24-year-old allowed two goals or fewer in each of his first four starts, but he has allowed three or more in every start since then. He carries a 6-1-1 record, 2.70 GAA and a .901 save percentage into Monday's matchup.

Forsberg stopped all 17 shots he faced in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Senators.

Forsberg blanked his former team by making all of his saves at even strength en route to his first shutout of the season. Overall, the 32-year-old twine protector has a 3-2-1 record with a 2.96 GAA and an .890 save percentage across six starts this season. While he's allowed three goals or more in four of his six appearances this year, Saturday's shutout could give him a few extra opportunities moving forward. For now, Forsberg's best used as a spot fantasy starter in favorable matchups.
