Bobrovsky turned aside 25 shots in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers.

Neither goalie got much help in this one, but after Edmonton took a 4-2 lead midway through the second period, Bobrovsky buckled down and gave Florida a chance to roar back. The 36-year-old has won five of his last six starts, boosting his record on the season to 14-6-1, but consistency has eluded Bobrovsky so far in 2024-25, as he's given up four or more goals in eight of his 21 outings, leaving him with a 2.98 GAA and an .889 save percentage.

Oettinger stopped 25 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Capitals.

Dylan Strome tipped home a Jakob Chychrun point shot late in the first period, but Oettinger shut the door the rest of the way. The 25-year-old netminder has allowed three goals or less in eight straight starts, posting a 2.14 GAA and a .916 save percentage over that stretch, and he's up to 16 wins on the season -- second in the NHL behind only Connor Hellebuyck's 19.

Lindgren made 21 saves in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Stars.

The 30-year-old netminder had won four straight starts coming into Monday, but after grabbing a 1-0 lead in the first period, the Caps' offense went cold and didn't give Lindgren much support. His recent success has largely been due to the team in front of him -- Lindgren is 6-2-0 over his last eight outings but with a far less impressive 2.64 GAA and a .900 save percentage.

Blackwood will guard the road goal versus the Canucks on Monday, according to Kevin Woodley of NHL.com.

Blackwood stopped 37 shots in a 5-2 win over Nashville on Saturday during his Colorado debut. He posted a 6-9-3 record with a 3.00 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 19 appearances with San Jose before the trade, and his numbers should continue to improve as he plays more games for the Avalanche. Vancouver sits 12th in the league with 3.21 goals per game in 2024-25.

Ingram (upper body) remains out indefinitely, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports Monday.

Ingram resumed skating last weekend, but he will take a step back. He wasn't improving enough to make being on the ice worth it for his recovery. The 27-year-old netminder has already missed the last 12 games, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return. Karel Vejmelka has been occupying the No. 1 goalie role for Utah during Ingram's absence.

Vejmelka will patrol the home crease against Vancouver on Wednesday, according to Cole Bagley of KSL Sports.

Vejmelka has won his last two outings, stopping 42 of 46 shots. He has a 6-7-2 record with a 2.40 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 17 appearances this season. Vancouver ranks 12th in the league with 3.21 goals per game in 2024-25.

Levi was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Monday.

In Levi's last four NHL outings, he posted a 1-3-0 record, 4.05 GAA and .873 save percentage. With nobody winning games in Buffalo right now -- the team is 0-7-3 in its last 10 games -- it is understandable that the club would try to make some tweaks, but it appears deploying Levi was not the move.

Lankinen (illness) won't be in the lineup for Monday's home matchup against Colorado, according Ben Kuzma of Postmedia.

Lankinen will miss his second straight game despite participating in Monday's morning skate. Arturs Silovs will be the backup behind Thatcher Demko against the Avalanche. Lankinen will receive additional time to recover ahead of Vancouver's road back-to-back against Utah and Vegas on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.

Daws was reassigned to AHL Utica on Monday.

Daws' demotion is an indication that Jake Allen (upper body) will be ready to at least serve as the backup against St. Louis on Tuesday. Last season, the 23-year-old Daws saw action in 21 regular-season games for the Devils in which he went 9-11-0 with a 3.15 GAA. Daws has yet to get into the lineup for New Jersey this season, playing all of his games in the minors so far this year.

Demko will patrol the home crease against Colorado on Monday, per Canucks Insider.

Since returning from a knee injury, Demko has surrendered nine goals on 53 shots en route to a record of 0-1-1. Arturs Silovs will be the backup because Kevin Lankinen (illness) is unavailable. Colorado sits eighth in the league with 3.31 goals per game in 2024-25.
