Comrie stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blues.

He was by far the busier of the two netminders as the Jets got out-shot 31-16 on the afternoon, but Comrie took a shutout into the third before seeing it spoiled by Dalibor Dvorsky. Comrie hasn't lost a game since Jan. 1, going 5-0-0 over his last five starts with a dazzling 1.39 GAA and .946 save percentage in that span. Head coach Scott Arniel has also been very careful with his deployment -- none of those starts have come against teams currently in line for a playoff spot, and Comrie has beaten St. Louis (29th overall) twice during his hot streak while also downing Vancouver (32nd), Los Angeles (24th) and Florida (23rd).

Markstrom will be between the pipes at home versus the Bruins on Monday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Markstrom got the night off Saturday against the Kings after having appeared in the seven previous contests. In those outings, the veteran netminder went 4-3-0 with a 2.72 GAA. With the Devils seemingly out of playoff contention, the team could pull back on how much it uses Markstrom down the stretch and spread the workload out with Jake Allen.

Binnington made 13 saves on 16 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.

The St. Louis defense did its job, allowing no more than six shots in any period, but Binnington gave up two goals in the first eight minutes of the game and his offense was never able to catch up. The veteran netminder still hasn't allowed more than three goals in a start since the Olympic break, going 2-2-0 in four starts with a 2.06 GAA and .924 save percentage.

Dostal stopped 27 of 30 shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.

Dostal allowed three goals over the opening 13 minutes of the second period, but he closed the door effectively the rest of the way, allowing the Ducks to mount a comeback. Dostal has been playing at a high level since before the Olympic break, although his numbers are a bit underwhelming when you look past the win-loss record. Even though Dostal has won eight of his previous 10 starts (8-2-0), he owns a 3.44 GAA and a subpar .874 save percentage over that span.

Tarasov stopped 19 of 25 shots in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Kraken.

Tarasov took his fifth loss in his last six outings, and this was not a pretty performance. The Kraken got goals from all over the lineup, including four from the bottom six and one from a defenseman. Tarasov is down to 9-11-2 with a 2.96 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 23 appearances this season. He's alternated starts with Sergei Bobrovsky for most of March, and if the Panthers keep that pattern going, it would essentially be a white flag on their title defense. The Panthers' next game is an easy one Tuesday in Vancouver.

Daccord stopped 23 of 25 shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.

Daccord was a little better than that stat line suggests -- the Panthers' second goal came just before the final buzzer. The Kraken never trailed in the game, allowing Daccord to break out of a three-game skid in which he allowed 13 goals on 78 shots. The 29-year-old netminder improved to 19-16-5 with a 2.89 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 40 appearances. With both Daccord and Philipp Grubauer coming off wins, it's not clear which goalie will get the nod for Tuesday's tough home matchup versus the Lightning.

Annunen stopped 27 of 29 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Juuse Saros typically struggles against Edmonton, so the Predators turned to Annunen for this game. Despite the loss, the 26-year-old put in a good effort to keep the game close, but his teammates didn't give him enough support. Annunen is 2-3-0 with 11 goals allowed on 122 shots over his last five appearances. For the season, the Finnish netminder is 6-9-2 with a 3.09 GAA and an .888 save percentage through 21 outings, numbers mostly in line with what he did last year. Expect Saros to get the nod versus the Jets on Tuesday.

Ingram stopped 26 of 27 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Predators.

Ingram limited the damage to a Fedor Svechkov goal in the third period. With just eight goals allowed over his last four contests, Ingram has settled in at a better level and has taken the reins as the Oilers' top goalie over Tristan Jarry. The 28-year-old Ingram improved to 10-6-2 on the year with a 2.70 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 21 appearances. The Oilers' next game is Tuesday at home versus the Sharks.

Wallstedt stopped 22 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Wallstedt is winless in his last five appearances, giving up 13 goals on 127 shots in that span. While he isn't playing poorly, he hasn't been good enough to get results, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Filip Gustavsson get a heavier workload down the stretch. Wallstedt is now 14-7-6 with a 2.78 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 28 appearances this season.

Stolarz allowed two goals on 38 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

The Maple Leafs' three-goal second period was enough support for Stolarz to snap his five-game winless stretch. The 32-year-old had to work for it, but he looked sharp against a good opponent. He's up to 8-9-3 with a 3.34 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 22 appearances this season. The Maple Leafs haven't been able to establish a hot hand in net, so Stolarz and Joseph Woll will likely continue to split the playing time.
