Jarry will protect the home net against Anaheim on Monday, according to Ryan Rishaug of TSN.

Since returning to the lineup from a lower-body injury, Jarry has gone 2-2-1 in five appearances while allowing 14 goals on 113 shots. He has a 14-5-2 record with a 2.82 GAA, a .900 save percentage and two shutouts in 22 appearances this season between Edmonton and Pittsburgh. The Ducks earned a 4-3 overtime win over Calgary on Sunday. Anaheim is tied for 13th in the league with 3.21 goals per game this campaign.

Merzlikins was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers, indicating he will protect the home net against the Kings on Monday.

Merzlikins is poised to return to the crease after leaving Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Ottawa because of an illness. He has been healthy enough to be in the lineup as Jet Greaves' backup for the last two games. The 31-year-old Merzlikins has gone 8-8-1 with a 3.81 GAA and an .882 save percentage across 18 appearances this campaign. Los Angeles is tied for 28th in the league with 2.60 goals per game this campaign.

Daccord halted 27 of 29 shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over New Jersey.

Daccord ended a three-game losing streak with Sunday's victory. He was perfect at even strength and surrendered just two power-play goals in the contest. With the win, the 29-year-old goaltender is up to a 13-12-5 record, a 2.89 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 30 appearances this season. While he's less than halfway to replicating the 27-win season he posted across 57 outings a season ago, he's slated to play a big role down the stretch as the Kraken challenge for a playoff spot in the Pacific Division. Daccord holds solid fantasy value across most two-goalie fantasy formats and is on track to post a .900-plus save percentage for the third consecutive year. His next chance to take the ice is Tuesday in a home matchup versus the Capitals.

Markstrom stopped 15 of 18 shots on net in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.

Markstrom posted a solid performance through the first two periods before he allowed two goals in an 18-second span in the third. With the loss, he now holds a 14-12-1 record, a 3.29 GAA and an .879 save percentage through 28 outings this season. Despite the late struggles in Sunday's contest, the 35-year-old netminder has been solid lately with a 4-2-0 record and a 2.65 GAA over his last six appearances. With the veteran goalie bouncing back after a rough start to the season, he has worked his way back into decent fantasy value in two-goalie formats. His next chance to find the win column is in Tuesday's home game against the Jets.

Ersson was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Islanders.

Ersson has had mixed results over his last four outings, going 2-1-1 with 12 goals allowed on 112 shots (.893 save percentage). He's made a pair of starts against the Islanders this year -- one at home and one on the road -- both of which were shootout wins. He allowed a total of six goals on 57 shots in those games.

Sogaard stopped 19 of 20 shots in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Sogaard made his first start of the season Sunday and looked surprisingly competent, as he was less than five minutes away from posting a shutout until Rasmus Andersson scored with a wrister late in the third period. The 25-year-old isn't expected to see regular playing time any time soon, and now that Linus Ullmark, who operated as the backup Sunday, is back with the team, Sogaard should return to AHL Belleville. This means Ullmark should return to the No. 1 role with James Reimer as his backup.

Hill stopped 24 of 31 shots in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Senators.

Making just his fourth start since returning from a lower-body injury that caused him to miss 38 consecutive games between Oct. 25 and Jan. 14, Hill posted an underwhelming effort while allowing a season-worst seven goals. The sample is small, as Hill has made just nine appearances (eight starts) this season, but this is the third time in which he's allowed five or more goals. The 29-year-old owns a 3.53 GAA and an .855 save percentage this season. This was the first time Hill made consecutive starts since Oct. 18 and Oct. 20.

Wolf surrendered four goals on 21 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Wolf continues to struggle in January -- he's allowed four goals in seven of his eight outings this month, going 1-6-1. The 24-year-old was done in by a Beckett Sennecke hat trick in this contest. Wolf is down to 15-20-3 with a 3.03 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 39 appearances after this latest defeat. He's slipped into a timeshare with Devin Cooley, and if they continue to alternate starts, it would be Cooley getting the road start in Minnesota on Thursday before Wolf would start at home Saturday versus Wolf's hometown team, the Sharks.

Dostal stopped 32 of 35 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

Dostal picked up his sixth straight win, though the Flames didn't make it easy. The Ducks' offense was carried by rookie Beckett Sennecke's first hat trick, with the game-winner securing the hattie in overtime. Dostal has allowed 12 goals during his winning streak and is up to 19-12-2 with a 3.00 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 35 appearances. The Ducks will likely turn to Ville Husso for a tough matchup Monday in Edmonton.

Knight allowed four goals on 24 shots in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Panthers, who also scored an empty-netter.

Knight kept the game close for two periods, but the Panthers took over in the third. The 24-year-old netminder had not allowed more than three goals in any of his previous eight outings, going 5-2-1 in that span. Overall, he's down to a 15-14-6 record with a 2.58 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 35 starts this season. The Blackhawks will look to bounce back Tuesday in Minnesota.
