Comrie allowed two goals on three shots on goal in Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Flyers.

Comrie entered the game in the final period, but by that time, the Jets were already down 5-1 and had no chance to mount a comeback. Still, that doesn't make this outing any better since he was beaten on two of the three shots he faced. The Jets still have an outside chance to make the playoffs in the final week of the regular season, so they're expected to rely on Connor Hellebuyck between the pipes.

Skinner will defend the road net against Washington on Sunday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

Skinner will get the second half of Pittsburgh's back-to-back after Arturs Silovs played in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals. The 27-year-old Skinner is coming off a 19-save performance in Thursday's 5-2 win over New Jersey. Washington ranks 14th in the league with 3.20 goals per game this season.

Vladar stopped 27 of 28 shots in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Jets.

Vladar was beaten in the first period by Haydn Fleury, but Philadelphia's netminder was excellent the rest of the way, and the offense provided him enough support to get the job done easily. Vladar has won four of his last five starts, posting a 1.80 GAA and a .921 save percentage over that stretch. He's been one of the best goaltenders in fantasy over the last two weeks, posting a save percentage of at least .940 in four of his past five starts.

Thompson will get the start in net Sunday against the Penguins, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Thompson will make his second start in as many days while Charlie Lindgren (upper body) continues to battle an injury that will prevent the latter from suiting up Sunday. Thompson's first time starting both ends of a back-to-back this season comes in a must-win game for the Capitals to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. On the season, the 29-year-old holds a 30-21-6 record, 2.48 GAA and .910 save percentage.

Lindgren (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Sunday's home matchup against Pittsburgh, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Lindgren is still day-to-day and will miss his third straight game. He has posted a 9-8-3 record with one shutout, a 3.52 GAA and an .879 save percentage in 21 appearances this season. Clay Stevenson will be Logan Thompson's backup against the Penguins on Sunday.

Dobes stopped 28 of 33 shots in Saturday's loss to the Blue Jackets.

Dobes finally saw the end of his productive winning run with a subpar performance, although to be fair, some regression was coming after he had won each of his past seven starts while posting a 1.68 GAA and .948 save percentage in that span. Dobes should remain as the Canadiens' No. 1 goaltender in the final two games of the regular season, although it remains to be seen whether he'll start Sunday against the Islanders in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Greaves stopped 20 of 22 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

Greaves was beaten in the first and third periods, but the offense provided him enough support to cruise to a win on the road. Greaves has been alternating wins and losses over his four starts, a stretch in which he's posted a 2.75 GAA with an .898 save percentage. It remains to be seen if Greaves will also start Sunday against the Bruins on the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Gibson stopped 28 of 32 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Devils. The fifth goal Detroit allowed was an empty-netter with 60 seconds left in the game.

The Red Wings' playoff hopes were officially extinguished after Saturday's loss, and while Gibson isn't solely to blame for the poor run in recent games, he certainly has some culpability. He has lost three of his last four starts, going 1-2-1 with a 3.43 GAA and a subpar .881 save percentage in that span. It remains to be seen if he'll suit up for either of Detroit's final two games -- at Tampa Bay on Monday and at Florida on Wednesday.

Allen stopped 25 of 28 shots in Saturday's win over the Red Wings.

Allen earned the win here, but he continues to be an underwhelming fantasy performer, as this was his third straight game with a save percentage below the .900 mark. Allen will work as the Devils' No. 1 goaltender after Jacob Markstrom (undisclosed) was shut down for the final three games of the regular season. However, Nico Daws has been announced as the starter for Sunday's game against Ottawa, lining up Allen to start in the regular-season finale against the Bruins on Tuesday.

Stevenson was summoned from AHL Hershey on Sunday.

In a corresponding move, Washington assigned Mitchell Gibson to the minors. Stevenson's recall doesn't bode well for Charlie Lindgren's (upper body) availability for Sunday's home matchup against Pittsburgh. After Logan Thompson played in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Penguins, Stevenson could be between the pipes for Sunday's rematch.
