Sorokin is coming off a 30-save performance in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over San Jose. He has a 23-14-2 record this season with six shutouts, a 2.50 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 39 appearances. The Blues rank 28th in the league with 2.62 goals per game this campaign, but St. Louis has outscored the opposition by a 13-5 margin during a four-game winning streak.

James Reimer G | OTT
Senators' James Reimer: Guarding cage Monday
Reimer will defend the crease on the road against the Canucks on Monday, Randip Janda of Sportsnet reports.
Reimer last played for the Senators on Feb. 5 versus the Flyers, stopping 15 of 16 shots in a winning effort. In total, Reimer has logged seven games for Ottawa this year, going 3-3-1 with an .870 save percentage. While Reimer plays Monday, Linus Ullmark should continue to see the bulk of the workload moving forward.

Jakub Dobes G | MON
Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Set to start Tuesday
Dobes will get the starting nod at home against the Maple Leafs on Tuesday, RDS.ca reports.
Dobes has continued to rack up wins, securing five victories in his last seven outings. Overall, the young netminder is 20-6-4 this season in just 30 appearances. Dobes should continue to see the bulk of the workload moving forward.

Jet Greaves G | CLB
Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Tending twine Monday
Greaves will patrol the home crease against the Kings on Monday, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.
Greaves has won his last two outings while stopping 47 of the 51 shots he has faced. He has a 20-12-7 record this season with two shutouts, a 2.63 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 40 appearances. Los Angeles is tied for 29th in the league with 2.56 goals per game this campaign.

Vitek Vanecek G | UTA
Mammoth's Vitek Vanecek: Expected between pipes
Vanecek is slated to patrol the crease for Monday's road game versus the Blackhawks, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
Vanecek has appeared in just three of the Mammoth's 23 contests since the start of 2026, posting a 2-0-1 record with one shutout and six goals allowed on 82 shots in those games. Given his limited work rate, the 30-year-old netminder won't offer much in the way of fantasy value, considering he will primarily feature in back-to-backs.

Casey DeSmith G | DAL
Stars' Casey DeSmith: Gives up three goals Sunday
DeSmith stopped 16 of 19 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago.
DeSmith continues to play well and extended his winning streak to four games, allowing seven goals on 73 shots faced over that span. Jake Oettinger remains the No. 1 option for the Stars between the pipes, but don't be surprised if DeSmith earns more playing time based on how good he's been lately. His last defeat came Jan. 22 in a 1-0 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Kevin Lankinen G | VAN
Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: First off Monday
Lankinen was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Randip Janda of Sportsnet reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against Ottawa on Monday.
Lankinen is coming off a 32-save effort in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Winnipeg. He has a 7-20-5 record this campaign with a 3.73 GAA and an .875 save percentage across 35 appearances. Ottawa is tied for eighth in the league with 3.37 goals per game this season.

Arvid Soderblom G | CHI
Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Tagged with OT defeat
Soderblom stopped 27 of 31 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.
Soderblom avoided the loss in regulation, but an overtime goal from Miro Heiskanen just 22 seconds into the extra period forced the 26-year-old to settle with another defeat. Soderblom has dropped three of his last four starts, going 1-2-1 with 14 goals allowed on 118 shots (.881 save percentage) in that span. Since Spencer Knight (illness) won't be available Monday, Drew Commesso will get the nod versus Utah on the second leg of a back-to-back set. Soderblom should be the Blackhawks' No. 1 goaltender until Knight is ready to return.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen G | BUF
Sabres' Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen: Beaten seven times Sunday
Luukkonen stopped 21 of 28 shots in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Lightning.
This is clearly an outing that didn't favor Luukkonen's recent strong run of play, but at least he extended his winning streak to four games. He had allowed two or fewer goals in each of his previous three wins, and the 27-year-old will aim to bounce back in his next start. That said, the Sabres have been alternating the workload between the pipes of late, so it wouldn't be surprising if Alex Lyon gets the nod against the Sharks on Tuesday.

Spencer Knight G | CHI
Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Not ready to return
Knight (illness) won't be in the lineup for Monday's home matchup against Utah, according to Mario Tirabassi of CHGO Sports.
Knight was on the ice briefly for Monday's optional morning skate, but he will miss his third straight game. He has some additional time to recover, as Chicago is off until Thursday's road rematch against the Mammoth. Knight has a 16-18-8 record this season with three shutouts, a 2.63 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 42 appearances.
