  • Hurricanes' Dustin Tokarski: Gets overtime win

    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.

  • Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Blitzed on home ice Sunday

    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.

  • Rangers' Louis Domingue: Victorious in first start of season

    Domingue stopped 25 of 27 shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

    Domingue made his first appearance of the campaign Sunday, allowing just two even-strength goals in a convincing road victory. The 32-year-old is serving as New York's No. 2 netminder as a result of Igor Shesterkin (upper body) being placed on injured reserve Tuesday. Jonathan Quick should be expected to handle the bulk of the starts while Shesterkin is sidelined, and while Domingue proved capable Sunday, it was against a Blackhawks club that ranks 30th in the league with 2.53 goals per game.

  • Lightning's Jonas Johansson: In goal Sunday

    Johansson will patrol the road crease in Anaheim on Sunday, per Ducks PA Announcer Phil Hulett.

    Johansson was solid across three appearances in December, posting a 2-1-0 record, .947 save percentage and 1.68 GAA. The Lightning have lost three consecutive games, but Johansson will have a favorable matchup against an Anaheim club that ranks 31st in the NHL with 2.50 goals per game. The Swedish netminder is 5-1-0 with a 1.40 GAA and a .951 save percentage over six career appearances against the Ducks.

  • John Gibson G | DET

    Ducks' John Gibson: Facing Tampa Bay

    Gibson will tend the home twine versus the Lightning on Sunday, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

    Gibson will make his 14th appearance of the campaign Sunday -- the 31-year-old has a 6-5-1 record, .906 save percentage and 2.93 GAA. The Lightning are on the second half of a back-to-back, but they'll be a tough test for Gibson, considering they rank first in the NHL with 3.78 goals per game in 2024-25.

  • Joey Daccord G | SEA

    Kraken's Joey Daccord: Placed on injured reserve

    Daccord (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

    Daccord hasn't played since Dec. 22 while dealing with an upper-body injury, and the Kraken will give him some time to recover while on injured reserve. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action, but Philipp Grubauer should continue to serve as Seattle's primary netminder, while Ales Stezka will be available as a reserve while Daccord is sidelined.

  • Ilya Sorokin G | NYI

    Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Tending twine against Boston

    Sorokin led the Islanders onto the ice for Sunday's pregame warmups, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, indicating he'll start on the road against the Bruins.

    Sorokin has been held out of the win column in each of his last two starts, going 0-2-0 with a 2.05 GAA and .927 save percentage in appearances that both came against the Maple Leafs. He should have a more favorable matchup Sunday, as the Bruins are averaging just 2.61 goals per game this year, which is the fifth-worst mark in the league.

  • Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Starting in Carolina

    Nedeljkovic will start Sunday's road matchup versus the Hurricanes, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

    Nedeljkovic has won two of his last three outings, allowing seven goals on 86 shots. He has a 6-6-3 record with a 3.18 GAA and an .889 save percentage across 16 appearances this season. Carolina ranks seventh in the league with 3.36 goals per game and lost 4-0 to Minnesota on Saturday.

  • Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: In goal Sunday

    Korpisalo will protect the home net against the Islanders on Sunday, per Laura Campbell of Mass Live Sports.

    Korpisalo will get the second half of Boston's back-to-back after Jeremy Swayman played in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Toronto. The 30-year-old Korpisalo has a 7-4-1 record with two shutouts, a 2.71 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 13 appearances this season. The Islanders sit 29th in the league with 2.59 goals per game in 2024-25.

  • Hurricanes' Dustin Tokarski: Guarding goal Sunday

    Tokarski will patrol the home crease against Pittsburgh on Sunday, per Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer.

    Tokarski will get the second half of Carolina's back-to-back after Pyotr Kochetkov played in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Minnesota. The 35-year-old Tokarski has surrendered seven goals on 75 shots en route to a 2-1-0 record in three NHL appearances this season. Pittsburgh is tied for 15th in the league with 3.03 goals per game in 2024-25.
