Schmid stopped all 12 shots he faced in relief of Adin Hill during Monday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

The Golden Knights gave up an empty-netter in the third period after Hill was pulled, but Schmid was solid when called upon duty, though the game was already decided by the time he entered the ice. Schmid is expected to remain Hill's backup in the even Ilya Samsonov (undisclosed) is unable to return to the ice in the near future.

Hill was pulled from Monday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes early in the second period. He stopped 17 of 21 shots before being lifted.

Hill has been all over the place this season and has been trending in the wrong direction of late, allowing four goals in back-to-back contests and in six of his 10 total appearances. Even though his 6-3-1 record might look decent, he has a 3.41 GAA and an .875 save percentage despite notching a shutout win over the Flames on Oct. 28. Hill is 2-1-1 with a 3.77 GAA and an .871 save percentage in four November outings.

Hellebuyck will be in the blue paint for Tuesday's road showdown with the Rangers, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Hellebuyck will attempt to win his sixth game in a row against a Rangers club that's scored 49 goals through 13 games. The 31-year-old has been otherworldly this season, and he's allowed just one goal on 89 shots across his last three wins, two of which were shutouts. It's early in the campaign, but Hellebuyck is the clear early favorite to win the Vezina trophy -- the Michigan native is 11-1-0 with a .935 save percentage and 1.83 GAA through 12 appearances.

Markstrom was the first goaltender off the ice at the morning skate, Devils play-by-play announcer Matt Loughlin reports, indicating he will guard the road goal versus Florida on Tuesday.

Markstrom has four wins in his last five outings while posting a .919 save percentage and one shutout. He has a 7-4-1 record with a 2.67 GAA and a .902 save percentage across 12 appearances this campaign. Florida has won seven consecutive contests and ranks fifth in the league with 3.80 goals per game in 2024-25.

Shesterkin was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today, indicating he will protect the home net Tuesday versus Winnipeg.

During his last appearance, Shesterkin allowed five goals on 12 shots before being pulled in a 6-1 loss to Buffalo on Nov. 7. He has a 6-3-1 record with one shutout, a 2.62 GAA and a .920 save percentage across 10 starts. Winnipeg has lost once through 15 games (14-1-0) in 2024-25 and ranks first in the league with 4.47 goals per game.

Binnington will patrol the home crease Tuesday versus Boston, according to Lou Korac of NHL.com.

During his last outing, Binnington surrendered eight goals on 27 shots in Saturday's 8-1 loss to Washington. He has a 4-6-0 record with a 3.28 GAA and an .886 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. Boston is tied for 26th in the league with 2.50 goals per game in 2024-25.

Stolarz was the first goalie off at morning skate, indicating he'll be between the pipes for Tuesday's home game versus Ottawa, per Mark Masters of TSN.

Stolarz is off to a great start in 2024-25 -- he's 4-0-2 in his last six games, and he hasn't lost in regulation since Oct. 19. The New Jersey native has been particularly good in November, allowing just three goals on 84 shots over three outings. Stolarz will go up against a Senators team that's scored 48 goals through 14 games.

Saros stopped 29 of 32 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

Saros was beaten twice in the second period and once more in overtime, though there wasn't much he could have done on the game-winning goal from Samuel Girard, as it was a breakaway for the Avalanche defenseman. Saros couldn't build on the 26-save shutout win he posted vs. Utah on Nov. 9, but his numbers have been very good of late. Over his last five outings, Saros has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.00 GAA and an excellent .934 save percentage.

Ullmark will be between the pipes for Tuesday's road divisional matchup with Toronto, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Ullmark will make his ninth appearance and eighth start of the season. The 31-year-old Swedish netminder had lost back-to-back games before making 14 saves on 16 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Bruins. Ullmark will face a Toronto club that's scoring 3.13 goals per game through 16 contests, though the Maple Leafs may not have Auston Matthews (upper body) for this Atlantic Division showdown.

Knight will guard the cage at home versus the Devils on Tuesday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

After Sergei Bobrovsky was the first goalie to leave the ice at Tuesday's game-day skate, all signs pointed to the veteran getting the nod but it seems Knight will go instead against New Jersey. In five outings this year, the 23-year-old backstop is 3-1-0 with a 2.79 GAA and .902 save percentage. Depending on how head coach Paul Maurice wants to rotate his goalies, Knight could get 2-3 more starts in November.
