Dostal will patrol the road blue paint Sunday against the Canadiens, according to the NHL media site.

Dostal will get the start in the second half of a back-to-back after Ville Husso occupied the crease in Saturday's 2-0 loss in Ottawa. The Canadiens are also on the second half of a back-to-back -- they lost 4-2 at home against the Sharks on Saturday. Dostal earned a win against the Canadiens in Anaheim on March 6, but he gave up five goals on 28 shots in that game. Moreover, Dostal has conceded exactly five goals in four of his last seven appearances.

Tarasov will defend the road cage Sunday in Seattle, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Tarasov picked up his first win since Jan. 25 against the Red Wings on Tuesday, stopping 25 of 28 shots in a 4-3 win. The 26-year-old owns a 9-10-2 record, 2.82 GAA and .901 save percentage through 22 outings this season. The Kraken have struggled lately, but they snapped their four-game losing streak in Vancouver on Saturday in a 5-2 victory. Seattle is tied for 23rd in the NHL with 2.83 goals per game and is 16-13-5 on home ice in 2025-26.

Akhtyamov signed a three-year, $2.7 million contract extension with Toronto on Sunday.

Akhtyamov has gone 18-10-4 with a 2.86 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 32 AHL outings this season. The 24-year-old netminder also made his NHL debut against Edmonton on Dec. 13, stopping all five of the shots he faced in a relief appearance.

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.

Ullmark will patrol the home crease against San Jose on Sunday, according to Julian McKenzie of The Athletic.

Ullmark is coming off a 23-save performance in Saturday's 2-0 shutout win over Anaheim. He has a 20-9-7 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.77 GAA and an .886 save percentage across 37 appearances. San Jose sits 18th in the league with 3.09 goals per game this campaign.

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. The 32-year-old will take that win streak into Sunday's game against the Jets, who are coming off of a big win against the Avalanche last time out. Binnington has a 10-18-6 record on the season with a 3.48 GAA and an .872 save percentage.

Comrie is expected to start Sunday's home matchup against St. Louis, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

Comrie is poised to get the second half of the Jets' back-to-back after Connor Hellebuyck played in Saturday's 3-1 win over Colorado. The 30-year-old Comrie has a 10-9-1 record this season with a 3.01 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 20 appearances. The Blues sit 27th in the league with 2.64 goals per game this campaign.

Ingram will protect the home net against Nashville on Sunday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Ingram is coming off a 22-save effort in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to St. Louis. He has a 9-6-2 record this campaign with one shutout, a 2.79 GAA and an .891 save percentage through 20 appearances. Nashville ranks 20th in the league with 2.94 goals per game this season.

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.

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.
