Oilers' Connor Ingram: Will try luck in Vegas
Ingram will start Sunday's contest against the Golden Knights.

With the Oilers this season, the 28-year-old has an 8-6-1 record with a 2.83 GAA and an .890 save percentage. He'll attempt to rebound from nine combined goals against in his last two appearances against a Vegas team that has lost four of its last five games.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Facing Bruins
Silovs will protect the home net against Boston on Sunday, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.
Silovs will get the second half of Pittsburgh's back-to-back after Stuart Skinner played in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to Philadelphia. The 24-year-old Silovs has a 13-8-8 record this campaign with a 2.80 GAA and an .898 save percentage across 29 appearances. Boston is tied for 10th in the league with 3.32 goals per game this season.

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Sunday's starter
Hill was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate and will start Sunday's game against the Oilers, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Since coming out of the Olympic break, Hill and Akira Schmid have alternated starts. Schmid got the start Friday against the Wild, so it will be Hill's turn Sunday against the Oilers. The 29-year-old Hill is 6-4-3 on the season with a 3.42 GAA and an .860 save percentage. He will look to snap a streak of three straight starts allowing at least three goals, this time against an Oilers team that has scored at least that many in six straight games.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: In goal Sunday
Wallstedt will start Sunday's game against the Avalanche, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Wallstedt is getting the net after sitting in favor of Filip Gustavsson for the Wild's last three contests. That's the longest stretch in which Wallstedt hasn't played since early November. He'll check back in for a daunting matchup against the league-leading Avalanche, who have won four straight games. The 23-year-old has a 14-6-4 record with a 2.86 GAA and a .910 save percentage on the year.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Set to face Wild
Wedgewood will patrol the home crease against Minnesota on Sunday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Wedgewood has won his last three outings, including a relief appearance in Friday's 5-4 shootout victory over Dallas. He has a 23-4-5 record this season with two shutouts, a 2.20 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 34 games. Minnesota is tied for 10th in the league with 3.32 goals per game this campaign.

Jakub Dobes G | MON
Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Earns win Saturday
Dobes stopped 36 of 39 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kings.
Dobes was one of the main reasons why the Canadiens got the win Sunday, but that was just another strong showing in a series of very good performances for the 24-year-old. Dobes has won six of his last eight starts, going 6-1-1 with a 3.10 GAA and an .896 save percentage. He has lost in regulation only once since the calendar flipped to 2026 and seems to be firmly entrenched as the Habs' No. 1 goaltender for the time being.

Darcy Kuemper G | LA
Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Tagged with loss Saturday
Kuemper stopped 19 of 23 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.
Kuemper was on pace to earn a win, but the Habs rallied back with two third-period goals to flip the script. Kuemper has been slumping of late and has lost three of his last four starts, going 1-3-0 with a 4.38 GAA and a subpar .844 save percentage in that span.

Elvis Merzlikins G | CLB
Blue Jackets' Elvis Merzlikins: Subpar showing in OT loss
Merzlikins stopped 18 of 23 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
It wouldn't be a stretch to say that Merzlikins has been subpar since the regular season resumed following the Olympic break. The 31-year-old netminder has made four appearances, going 1-1-1 with a 3.79 GAA and an .850 save percentage over that span. Perhaps more worrying is the fact that he's posted a save percentage below .880 in each of his three starts over that span. The Blue Jackets will take on the Kings on Monday before starting a three-game road trip between March 10 and March 14.

Karel Vejmelka G | UTA
Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Earns win but allows four
Vejmelka stopped 27 of 31 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Vejmelka looked on his way to earn the win in regulation midway through the final period, but he gave up two goals in a 30-second span that ended up forcing overtime. The Mammoth still got the win Saturday, but Vejmelka's performance was far from being the best. He has now posted a save percentage under .875 in three of his last five appearances, a stretch in which he's gone 3-2-0 with a 3.20 GAA and an .880 save percentage.

Alex Lyon G | BUF
Sabres' Alex Lyon: Nabs third straight win
Lyon made 23 saves in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Predators.
The 33-year-old netminder has been working in a timeshare with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen since the Olympic break, and the arrangement seems to be working well for Lyon -- he's won all three of his starts since the break, allowing exactly two goals in each. Since returning from a lower-body injury in late January, Lyon's gone 7-2-0 with a 2.25 GAA and .930 save percentage.
