Swayman will start Monday's home game against the Senators, Jack Studley of Boston Hockey Now reports.

Swayman picked up wins in each of his first two starts of the season, posting a 1.48 GAA and .947 save percentage during that time. After sitting out the second half of a back-to-back set Saturday in Minnesota, the 27-year-old will return to the crease as the Bruins return home Monday.

Shesterkin stopped 28 of 30 shots and added an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth.

Shesterkin kept Utah off the board until Nick Schmaltz converted a rebound on the power play at 14:29 of the second period, then surrendered a goal to Andrew Peeke in the third period, but the Rangers had given him enough cushion to cruise to the win. The star goalie also contributed offensively for a second straight game, starting the sequence that led to Eeli Tolvanen's empty-netter. Shesterkin has earned a win and recorded a point in consecutive appearances after scoring a goal against Tampa Bay in his previous appearance. He has stopped 72 of 77 shots through three starts in 2026-27, good for an impressive .935 save percentage.

Vejmelka stopped 18 of 21 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Vejmelka was coming off a 15-save shutout in Thursday's 6-0 win over Chicago, but he couldn't replicate that performance against a Rangers team that was coming off back-to-back wins. He allowed a goal in the first period but conceded two more in the third, and the Rangers added a fourth on an empty-netter when Utah pushed for a late equalizer. Vejmelka has a 1-1-0 record in his first two appearances this season while stopping 33 of 36 shots thus far.

Lankinen allowed three goals on 28 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

All three goals against came in the second period, and the Canucks weren't able to provide an answer in the third. Lankinen has started three of Vancouver's four games so far, allowing a total of 16 goals on 85 shots while going 1-2-0. The 31-year-old netminder has been outplayed by Leevi Merilainen in this small sample of work, so it's fair to say the No. 1 job is up for grabs. The Canucks are set to head east on a six-game road trip that begins against the Hurricanes on Thursday.

Hill stopped 18 of 20 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.

A three-goal second period for the Golden Knights was all the support Hill needed to win his season debut. The 30-year-old had backed up Carter Hart in the first two games of the year, but head coach Ryan Craig clearly didn't want Hill sitting for too long. Neither goalie is a clear-cut No. 1 at this stage of the campaign, so there could be an element of momentum that comes into play with how Vegas divvies up the workload in the crease. The Golden Knights' next game is in Seattle on Tuesday.

Wolf allowed six goals on 27 shots in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Kraken.

The Flames' defense had a couple of breakdowns in the first period, and Wolf gave up three goals early. That was far too much to come back from. Wolf has given up 12 goals on 59 shots over two games against Seattle to begin his season, though the Flames will need to score more than one goal a game to give their goalies a chance. The Flames will have some time to recoup before hosting the Avalanche on Thursday in what is one of the most lopsided matchups on the slate early in the year.

Daccord stopped 32 of 33 shots in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Flames.

The Kraken capitalized on early chances to build up a lead, and Daccord mostly held the fort the rest of the way. He was denied a shutout when Morgan Frost scored on the power play late in the third period. Daccord has stopped 56 of 58 shots in his two games, both against the Flames, to open the season. The real test will come against tougher competition, but Daccord's confidence should be running high right now. The Kraken will host the Golden Knights on Tuesday before embarking on a five-game road trip in the Eastern Conference.

Markstrom stopped 18 of 21 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Anaheim's power play was the main problem, as Cutter Gauthier scored twice and Mikael Granlund tallied in overtime. Markstrom didn't face a lot of volume otherwise. He's allowed three goals on 36 shots over two games this season, so the Panthers' defensive structure has been effective to shelter the goalie. Florida wraps up its season-opening road trip against the Kings on Tuesday.

Dostal stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Panthers.

Dostal has faced a couple of tough opponents to start the season and come away with two wins and five goals allowed on 61 shots. The Ducks' power play did the heavy lifting Sunday, with Cutter Gauthier scoring twice and Mikael Granlund adding the winner in overtime. Dostal should continue to see steady usage as the top goalie in Anaheim. The Ducks' next game is at home versus the Oilers on Wednesday.

Stevenson is expected to tend the twine Monday in Pittsburgh, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Stevenson was waived by the Capitals before the start of the 2026-27 campaign, but he was claimed off waivers by the Jets due to Connor Hellebuyck's suspension. The 27-year-old Stevenson was solid across four regular-season games with Washington last year, going 3-1-0 with a 2.00 GAA and a .921 save percentage. The netminder is set to have a tough task Monday against a Pittsburgh club that has netted 13 goals across its first two games of the season, both of which were wins.
