Sorokin stopped 26 of 30 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.

Sorokin didn't have his best individual effort, but it was just enough to lift the Islanders to victory in what turned out to be a high-scoring matchup. Even though Sorokin's role as the Isles' primary goaltender isn't under any threat, it's worth noting his recent performances haven't been particularly good. He's posted a save percentage below the .890 mark in three of his last five appearances, a span in which he's gone 2-3-0 with a 3.42 GAA and an .873 save percentage.

Lindgren will defend the road net against Buffalo on Monday, according to Heather Engel of NHL.com.

Lindgren has one win in his last five outings (1-3-1) while surrendering 14 goals on 130 shots. He has a 10-8-1 record with a 2.70 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 19 appearances this season. Buffalo is tied for 14th in the league with 3.03 goals per game in 2024-25.

Korpisalo stopped 27 of 32 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Korpisalo was making his first start since Dec. 27, when he gave up six goals on 33 shots in a 6-2 loss to the Blue Jackets, but he didn't have good results in this one. He's dropped three of his last four starts dating back to Dec. 12, going 1-2-1 with a 3.98 GAA and a .855 save percentage during that span.

Johansson stopped 22 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

The Lightning were limited to three goals while losing all three games of their California road trip, with Johansson on the hook for this one after Andrei Vasilevskiy dropped 2-1 results to the Sharks and Kings. The lack of goal support is unusual -- the Lightning have been one of the top-scoring teams in the league this season. Johansson has lost two starts in a row and is now at 4-3-1 with a 3.32 GAA and an .898 save percentage over nine outings. Vasilevskiy will likely get the nod for Tuesday's home game versus the Hurricanes.

Gibson stopped 36 of 37 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Lightning.

Gibson was excellent Sunday, holding the Lightning to a Jake Guentzel power-play goal in the second period. This was Gibson's best start of the campaign. He continues to share the crease with Lukas Dostal as the Ducks balance playing time between the veteran and the youngster. Gibson improved to 7-5-1 with a 2.78 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 14 appearances.

Fedotov allowed three goals on 25 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

It wasn't a great performance, but considering Fedotov hadn't played in a month and was facing a tough offense, it was good enough. The 28-year-old has been relegated to a third-string role for the Flyers, but he's getting chances to suit up with Samuel Ersson (lower body) ailing. Fedotov is 4-4-2 with a 3.42 GAA and an .877 save percentage through 11 starts this season. Aleksei Kolosov and Fedotov will compete for starts until Ersson is cleared to play again.

Hildeby stopped 30 of 32 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.

Hildeby made his first NHL start since Dec. 15 and came away with his third win in four outings this season. He allowed the opening goal to Tyson Foerster in the first period and another tally to Scott Laughton in the second. Morgan Rielly had the game-winner at 2:25 of overtime. Hildeby and Matt Murray have been sharing backup duties at the NHL level as well as the starting role for AHL Toronto during the absence of Anthony Stolarz (knee). The Maple Leafs don't have a back-to-back over the next week, so it wouldn't be surprising to see some roster shuffling to keep Hildeby and Murray fresh with AHL games even if Joseph Woll ultimately starts a few games in a row for the big club.

Nedeljkovic stopped 27 of 31 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

A three-goal second period accounted for most of the damage, and Nedeljkovic also gave up a goal to Sebastian Aho in overtime to take the loss against the team with which he made his NHL debut back in 2016-17. Nedeljkovic has started three of the Penguins' last four games, going 1-1-1 with nine goals allowed in that span. He's now 6-6-4 with a 3.22 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 17 contests this season. Tristan Jarry hasn't done much to keep hold of the crease, but Nedeljkovic isn't really any better, so expect a timeshare to continue between the pipes for the Penguins.

Tokarski stopped 16 of 19 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Penguins.

Tokarski has won three of his four starts at the NHL level, but this one wasn't a particularly inspiring performance. He gave up two goals in the first period and blew a 3-2 lead in the third, but Sebastian Aho saved the day with a goal 1:30 into overtime. Tokarski has allowed 10 goals on 94 shots in his four appearances, and he's likely to remain in a backup role behind Pyotr Kochetkov. The Hurricanes' next back-to-back is a pair of home games versus the Maple Leafs on Thursday and the Canucks on Friday.

Soderblom surrendered six goals on 34 shots Sunday in a 6-2 loss to the Rangers.

Tyler Bertuzzi opened the scoring for Chicago on Sunday, but New York answered with five consecutive goals. Soderblom didn't stand much of a chance due to the Hawks being heavily outplayed in five-on-five play -- all six of New York's markers came at even strength. Soderblom has been inconsistent in 2024-25, but he could get a look as the No. 1 netminder if Petr Mrazek (.893 save percentage, 3.23 GAA) continues to struggle. Through 18 appearances this season, Soderblom has a 6-10-1 record, .905 save percentage and 2.92 GAA.
