  • Joey Daccord G | SEA

    Kraken's Joey Daccord: First off Sunday

    Daccord was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against Buffalo on Sunday.

    Daccord is coming off a 24-save performance in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings. He has gone 8-7-4 this season with a 2.94 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 19 appearances this season. Buffalo ranks 18th in the league with 3.00 goals per game this year.

  • Penguins' Sergei Murashov: Earns start Sunday

    Murashov will start Sunday's game against the Mammoth, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

    The debut of Stuart Skinner will continue to have to wait. Murashov was recalled on an emergency basis Saturday, and he'll make the start Sunday with the team on the second of a back-to-back and Skinner remaining unavailable due to issues with his immigration paperwork. It's been a small sample size, but the 21-year-old Murashov has been solid this season, going 1-1-1 with a 1.90 GAA and a .913 save percentage.

  • Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Tagged with SO loss

    Ersson stopped 18 of 21 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

    Ersson did what he could to keep the Flyers in the game, including stopping three shots during the shootout, but he was ultimately tagged with the loss. The 26-year-old has won only two of his previous five starts, going 2-2-1 with a 2.54 GAA and an .897 save percentage in that span. He's posted a save percentage below the .900 mark in his past two starts.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Earns SO win Saturday

    Kochetkov stopped 15 of 18 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flyers.

    Kochetkov didn't have his best performance throughout the game after posting an .833 save percentage, but he was excellent in the shootout and played a key role in this road win for the Hurricanes. Kochetkov has won five of his six starts this season, posting a 2.12 GAA and a .904 save percentage in those outings.

  • Jets' Domenic DiVincentiis: Returned to minors

    DiVincentiis was loaned to AHL Manitoba on Sunday.

    Connor Hellebuyck made 24 saves in a 5-1 win over Washington on Saturday in his return to the lineup from a knee injury. As a result, the Jets no longer need DiVincentiis on the roster. He has a 6-7-0 record with a 2.49 GAA and a .915 save percentage across 13 AHL appearances this season.

  • Jet Greaves G | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Suffers another defeat

    Greaves stopped 22 of 25 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Greaves was beaten once in the second period and twice in the final frame, and the 24-year-old netminder has lost in each of his last four starts. Over that stretch, he's allowed three or fewer goals each time, so the Blue Jackets are clearly slumping on offense. Greaves owns a 2.49 GAA and a .922 save percentage during his four-game losing skid, numbers that show he's been much better than what his record indicates.

  • Carter Hart G | LV

    Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Secures another win

    Hart stopped 27 of 29 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Hart has won three of his four starts this season, and he's yet to suffer a defeat in regulation. Over his four outings, he's 3-0-1 with a 2.61 GAA and a .900 save percentage. Hart remains a solid streaming option while Adin Hill (lower body) remains on injured reserve.

  • Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Defending crease Sunday

    Demko will guard the road goal against New Jersey on Sunday, per Mike Morreale of NHL.com.

    Demko is coming off a 12-save effort in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Buffalo. He has a 5-5-0 record with a 2.83 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. New Jersey is tied for 19th in the league with 2.94 goals per game this year.

  • Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Facing Bruins

    Gustavsson will protect the home net against Boston on Sunday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

    Gustavsson will get the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back after Jesper Wallstedt played in Saturday's 3-2 win over Ottawa. The 27-year-old Gustavsson has a 9-8-3 record with a 2.64 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 20 appearances this season. Boston ranks seventh in the league with 3.28 goals per game this campaign.

  • Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Tending twine Sunday

    Markstrom will patrol the home crease against Vancouver on Sunday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

    Markstrom will get the second half of New Jersey's back-to-back after Jake Allen played in Saturday's 4-1 win over Anaheim. The 35-year-old Markstrom has gone 8-6-1 this season with a 3.66 GAA and an .875 save percentage through 16 appearances. Vancouver is tied for 26th in the league with 2.74 goals per game this year.
