NHL Player News

Stolarz will be in the blue paint for Monday's home game against the Blackhawks, per David Alter of The Hockey News.

Stolarz conceded four goals on 23 shots in a 5-1 loss to the Panthers in his last start. The 30-year-old will look to get back on track against a Blackhawks club that ranks 29th in the NHL with 2.50 goals per game through 24 contests. Stolarz is 1-2-0 with a 3.32 GAA and an .872 percentage across four career appearances against Chicago.

Markstrom will patrol the road crease Monday versus the Rangers, according to Colin Stephenson of Newsday.

Markstrom will make his 19th appearance of the campaign -- the Swedish netminder is 11-6-1 with a .902 save percentage and 2.62 GAA through 18 starts. The 34-year-old is 6-2-0 over his last six starts, and he's allowed 21 goals during that span (2.63 GAA). Markstrom will face a Rangers club that ranks 11th in the NHL with 3.26 goals per game through 23 contests.

Driedger was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Monday.

It's unclear if Sergei Bobrovsky or Spencer Knight are dealing with injuries, but Driedger will serve as Florida's No. 3 netminder in the meantime. Mackie Samoskevich was loaned to the Checkers in a corresponding move. Driedger is sporting a 5-2-1 record, .885 save percentage and 3.22 GAA through eight appearances with the Checkers in 2024-25.

Soderblom will defend the road crease during Monday's game against Toronto, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Soderblom didn't start in any of Chicago's last five games, but he'll tend the twine for the first time since Nov. 19 during Monday's road matchup, which is the second half of a back-to-back set. Over six appearances this year, the 25-year-old has posted a 1-4-1 record, 2.37 GAA and .926 save percentage.

Lyon (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Lyon's placement on the IR list won't impact his timeline for a return. He won't be an option for Tuesday's road game against Boston and Thursday's road matchup versus Ottawa. The 31-year-old netminder has posted a 4-4-0 record with a 2.74 GAA and a .911 save percentage across nine appearances this season. With Lyon and Cam Talbot (lower body) unavailable, Sebastian Cossa will be the backup behind Ville Husso on Tuesday versus Boston.

Ersson (lower body) participated in Monday's practice, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Ersson hasn't played since Nov. 11 versus San Jose after tweaking a previous injury during a Nov. 13 practice. Monday's on-ice session was his first with his teammates since he was sidelined. He could be ready to play as early as Thursday's home game against Florida. He has a 5-2-2 record with one shutout, a 2.70 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 11 appearances this season.

Tokarski signed a one-year, two-way contract with Carolina on Monday. He was placed on waivers to be returned to AHL Chicago, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Tokarski has a 4-1-0 record with a 1.61 GAA and a .933 save percentage in five appearances with Carolina's top minor-league affiliate this season. The 35-year-old Tokarski will provide the Hurricanes with veteran depth between the pipes. Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) may play in Tuesday's home game versus Seattle, but Frederik Andersen (knee) isn't close to being available.

Ingram (upper body) isn't close to returning to the lineup, according to Cole Bagley of KSL Sports on Monday.

Ingram will miss his seventh straight game when Utah hosts Dallas on Monday. He has a 6-4-3 record with a 3.61 GAA and an .871 save percentage through 13 appearances this season. Karel Vejmelka and Jaxson Stauber have performed well during Ingram's absence. Vejmelka and Ingram could compete for starts once the latter is ready to return.

DeSmith will be between the road pipes against Utah on Monday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

DeSmith has had limited playing time in recent weeks, as Monday's start will be just his third over the Stars' last 11 games. Across his seven appearances this season, he's recorded a 2-4-0 record, 2.81 GAA and .891 save percentage.

Talbot (lower body) won't dress for Tuesday's road game against Boston, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

Talbot suffered a lower-body injury during Sunday's game against the Canucks and is being evaluated by a doctor Monday. Head coach Derek Lalonde said that the team hopes to know more about Talbot's status Tuesday, but the 37-year-old will be unavailable for at least one game. Ville Husso will serve as the starting netminder against the Bruins, while Sebastian Cossa will operate as the backup.
