Killorn scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and logged three hits in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

Both points came on the power play. Killorn was a positive for the Ducks in the first round, but he had been held to one point over the first three games of the second round. The 36-year-old broke out Sunday, setting up a Beckett Sennecke goal in the first period before scoring one of his own late in the second. Over 10 playoff contests, Killorn is up to four goals, five assists, 22 shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-7 rating while filling a top-six role.

Dostal stopped 18 of 21 shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

Dostal continues to alternate wins and losses. He was pulled after the first period of Game 3 but bounced back Sunday in Game 4. Dostal is now 6-4 with a 3.42 GAA and an .874 save percentage over 10 playoff contests. While his Game 4 performance wasn't all that impressive, it should be enough for the 25-year-old to get the nod on the road in Game 5.

Gudas (lower body) is not an option for Game 4 versus the Golden Knights on Sunday, per Derek Van Diest of NHL.com.

Gudas is set to miss his ninth straight playoff contest after being labeled a game-time decision earlier Sunday, which suggests he's close to being available. Drew Helleson (undisclosed) is also out for Game 4, so Olen Zellweger and Ian Moore will comprise Anaheim's third pairing. Gudas' next chance to return to game action will be in Game 5 in Vegas on Tuesday.

Hart will defend the road crease in Game 4 against the Ducks on Sunday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Hart has been phenomenal in the second round against an Anaheim club that sits fourth in the NHL in postseason scoring with 3.56 goals per game. The 27-year-old has allowed two or fewer goals in each of the first three games in this series. Overall in the 2026 playoffs, Hart is 6-3 with a 2.39 GAA and a .912 save percentage through nine outings. The netminder and his team can take a 3-1 series lead with a win Sunday, but Vegas will be without its captain in Game 4, as Mark Stone is contending with a lower-body injury.

Dobes will patrol the home blue paint Sunday versus the Sabres in Game 3, according to Heather Engel of NHL.com.

Dobes rebounded in Game 2 after a poor showing in Game 1, as he turned aside 28 of 29 shots in Montreal's 5-1 win over Buffalo on Friday. The 24-year-old has alternated wins and losses through nine games in the 2026 postseason, going 5-4 with a 2.14 GAA and a .917 save percentage. Dobes has been especially good of late, conceding just one goal in three of his last four outings, and he will have the home crowd behind him Sunday.

Lyon will be between the road pipes in Game 3 against the Canadiens on Sunday, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.

Lyon has given up six goals on 55 shots (.891 save percentage) through the first two games of this second-round series. The Minnesota native had his worst outing of the postseason Friday, surrendering four goals on 27 shots in a 5-1 loss in Game 2. If Lyon and the Sabres drop Game 3, it's a possibility head coach Lindy Ruff turns back to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in goal to shake things up.

Kiviranta (undisclosed) is a possibility for Monday's Game 4 matchup against Minnesota, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Kiviranta has resumed skating and participated in Sunday's practice. He has missed the last five games. Kiviranta hasn't earned a point in two appearances this postseason, but he has posted three shots on net and five hits.

Helleson (undisclosed) won't be an option for Game 4 against Vegas on Sunday, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Helleson is dealing with a day-to-day injury and will miss at least one game. He has contributed one assist, five shots on net and nine hits in eight appearances this postseason. Radko Gudas (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's Game 4 matchup against the Golden Knights. If Gudas can't play, Ian Moore or Olen Zellweger could replace Helleson in the lineup.

Gudas (lower body) will be a game-time decision against Vegas on Sunday in Game 4, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Gudas was on the third pairing during Sunday's morning skate and could replace Drew Helleson (undisclosed) in Sunday's lineup against the Golden Knights. The 35-year-old Gudas had two goals, 13 points, 63 shots on net, 88 blocked shots, 164 hits and 67 PIM across 56 appearances during the 2025-26 regular season.

Stone (lower body) won't play in Game 4 against Anaheim on Sunday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Stone will miss at least one outing after sustaining an injury in Game 3's 6-2 win over the Ducks on Friday. He has accounted for three goals, seven points, 18 shots on net and 12 hits in nine appearances this postseason. Brandon Saad will replace Stone in Sunday's lineup against Anaheim.
