Sharks' Laurent Brossoit: Returns to NHL net
Brossoit will get the start in goal for Sunday's contest against the Senators, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
It will be the first NHL start for Brossoit since April of 2024. Since then, the 32-year-old has battled injuries and spent some time in the minors since a midseason trade from Chicago. He's finally back in an NHL crease for the Sharks, who are on the second of a back-to-back and still without Yaroslav Askarov (lower body). Brossoit has an 11-2-1 record with a 2.48 GAA and a .915 save percentage with AHL San Jose.

Binnington will start Sunday's game at Winnipeg in net, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Binnington has won two straight starts and was sharp in both, stopping a combined 54 of 57 shots in wins against the Hurricanes and Sharks.

Dan Vladar G | PHI
Flyers' Dan Vladar: Makes 27 saves in SO loss
Vladar stopped 27 of 28 shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
Vladar has bounced back since the 6-2 loss to the Rangers on March 9, when he allowed six goals on 24 shots faced. He has allowed just three goals on 51 shots faced in his last two outings. Vladar should continue to operate as the Flyers' No. 1 netminder until further notice. With a 2.32 GAA and a .912 save percentage over his last 10 appearances, he's not in danger of losing that role any time soon.

Jet Greaves G | CLB
Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Strong showing in SO win
Greaves stopped 18 of 19 shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over the Flyers.
Greaves was making his first start since a 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings on March 9, and he bounced back with one of his best performances of the season Saturday. Greaves has allowed two or fewer goals in three of his last four starts, a stretch in which he has posted a 2.51 GAA with a .901 save percentage while also notching a 3-0-1 record.

Jacob Fowler G | MON
Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Tending twine Sunday
Fowler will protect the home net against the Ducks on Sunday.
Fowler will get the second half of the Canadiens' back-to-back after Jakub Dobes played in Saturday's 4-2 loss to San Jose. The 21-year-old Fowler is coming off a 32-save performance in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Ottawa. He has a 5-4-1 record with a 2.56 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 11 NHL appearances this season. Anaheim sits 13th in the league with 3.20 goals per game during the 2025-26 campaign.

Jakub Dobes G | MON
Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Beaten three times Saturday
Dobes stopped 17 of 20 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Dobes did what he could to keep the Canadiens in the game, but the Sharks closed out the scoring with an empty-netter right when Montreal was pushing hard to score an equalizer. Dobes has allowed three or fewer goals in four of his five starts since the Olympic break, a span in which he has gone 3-2-0 with a 3.05 GAA and an .887 save percentage. Those are far from enticing numbers, but he also has three games with a save percentage of at least .920 in that span, so not all of his performances have been subpar. His numbers are dragged down by a March 3 loss to the Sharks during which he allowed six goals on 27 shots.
