Luukkonen will tend the home twine Monday versus the Oilers, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

Luukkonen has lost four consecutive games while posting an .853 save percentage and a 4.40 GAA in that span. It won't get any easier Monday against an Oilers club that sits ninth in the NHL with 3.25 goals per game this season and has won three of its last four contests. Luukkonen is 1-1-0 and has conceded 10 goals on 71 shots over two career outings against Edmonton.

Dobes will defend the road net against Seattle on Wednesday.

Dobes will get the second half of Montreal's back-to-back after Sam Montembeault plays in Tuesday's road matchup versus Vancouver. The 23-year-old Dobes stopped 23 shots in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Calgary. He has a 6-3-1 record with one shutout, a 2.49 GAA and a .913 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. Seattle sits 15th in the league with 2.94 goals per game in 2024-25.

Montembeault is slated to start Tuesday's road game against Vancouver.

Montembeault's four-game winning streak came to an end during Thursday's overtime loss in Edmonton, but he'll return to the crease after getting the night off Saturday against the Flames. The 28-year-old made a home start against the Canucks on Jan. 6 and turned aside 16 of 20 shots (.800 save percentage) en route to a victory.

Wedgewood will operate as the starting netminder for Monday's home game against Chicago, Aarif Deen of ColoradoHockeyNow.com reports.

Wedgewood has started in just one of Colorado's last six games, but he turned aside 32 of 33 shots en route to the win during his home start against Pittsburgh on March 4. He'll tend the twine in the first half of a back-to-back set Monday, while Mackenzie Blackwood will likely start in Minnesota on Tuesday.

Knight will be between the road pipes against Colorado on Monday, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

Knight and Arvid Soderblom have alternated starts since the former was traded to Chicago, and that trend will continue Monday. Knight is in the midst of a five-game winning streak, with two wins coming as a member of the Blackhawks. During that five-game stretch, he's posted a 1.98 GAA and .935 save percentage.

Talbot will tend the twine for Monday's road game against the Senators, Jennifer Hammond of FOX 2 reports.

Talbot is in the midst of a three-game losing streak in which he's posted a 4.42 GAA and .831 save percentage, but he'll draw a second consecutive start Monday. The Senators have a middling offense, as they rank 17th in the NHL with 2.85 goals per game.

Woll will guard the road goal against Utah on Monday, per Luke Fox of Sportsnet.

Woll has won four of his last six outings but has surrendered eight goals on 41 shots in his past two starts (1-1-0). He has a 21-12-0 record with one shutout, a 2.78 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 33 appearances this season. Utah is tied for 19th in the league with 2.83 goals per game in 2024-25.

Stolarz is expected to start Thursday's home game against the Panthers, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

Although Joseph Woll will tend the twine on the road against Utah on Monday, Stolarz should get a chance to put together a bounce-back performance later in the week. Over his last three outings, Stolarz has gone 0-1-1 with a 3.20 GAA and .875 save percentage.

Vejmelka will patrol the home crease against Toronto on Monday, according to Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune.

Vejmelka is coming off a 21-save effort in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to Chicago. He has a 17-16-5 record with one shutout, a 2.48 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 40 appearances this season. Toronto sits 10th in the league with 3.21 goals per game in 2024-25.

Husso was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Monday.

Husso was recalled by the Ducks on Sunday to serve as the backup during the team's home game against the Islanders. However, he'll head back to the minors a day later, which suggests that John Gibson (lower body) could be available for Tuesday's home matchup against Washington.
