Daccord will guard the home goal versus the Kings on Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Daccord has been in a skid lately, allowing 16 goals over his last four games, with all of them being regulation losses. The 29-year-old has just one win in his last seven outings. The Kings have scored 18 goals over their last six games, going 3-2-1 in that span.

Vejmelka will start in goal at home versus the Panthers on Wednesday, Catherine Bogart of the Mammoth's official site reports.

Vejmelka is 2-2-0 with eight goals allowed over his last five appearances. The Panthers have scored 18 goals over their last six games, though they've won just two of them. Given Vejmelka's stingy play lately, he'll likely continue to be a strong fantasy goalie.

Knight will guard the home goal versus the Rangers on Wednesday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

Knight gave up six goals in a shutout loss to the Kings on Saturday in his last start. He then watched as Arvid Soderblom was torched for seven goals versus the Ducks on Sunday. Knight will look to find some consistency against a low-scoring team -- the Rangers have just 12 goals scored over their last five games.

Gibson is expected to start on the road against Calgary on Wednesday.

Gibson has won his past three starts while allowing seven goals on 104 shots (.933 save percentage). He's up to a 7-7-1 record with a 3.34 GAA and an .881 save percentage in 16 outings this season. The Flames are tied for 31st in goals per game with 2.48.

Forsberg was the first goalie off during Wednesday's morning skate, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Seattle.

Forsberg has seen limited action to begin the year, and he's started in just one of the Kings' last eight games. However, he's been effective when called upon, going 2-0-1 with a 1.29 GAA and .934 save percentage over his past three starts. The 33-year-old will have a favorable matchup against a Kraken team that is tied for the fewest goals per game (2.48) in the league this season.

Bobrovsky is set to start on the road against Utah on Wednesday.

Bobrovsky allowed six goals on 31 shots in his last start Saturday, but he still earned a 7-6 overtime victory over Columbus. He's 11-8-1 with a 2.98 GAA and an .881 save percentage in 20 appearances this season. Utah is in a four-way tie for 15th in goals per game with 3.00.

Shesterkin will defend the road crease against Chicago on Wednesday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Shesterkin has been consistent across the past few weeks, as he's gone 5-1-1 with a 2.29 GAA and a .923 save percentage over his last seven starts. He'll attempt to remain effective against a Blackhawks team that ranks 19th in the league this season with 2.97 goals per game.

Cooley will start Wednesday's home game against the Red Wings, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Cooley hasn't appeared in any of the Flames' last three games, but he'll return to the crease for Wednesday's matchup. Across his past six outings, he's gone 3-1-1 with a 2.46 GAA and a .908 save percentage. The Red Wings have been decent offensively this year, ranking 13th in the NHL with 3.10 goals per game.

Ullmark made 28 saves in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to New Jersey.

The two teams traded goals all evening, but the Senators couldn't find an equalizer in the back half of the third period after Cody Glass had given the Devils the lead a final time. Ullmark has lost three of his last four starts, a skid that has seen the veteran netminder post a 3.58 GAA and .860 save percentage, but he still has a firm hold of the top job in the Ottawa crease ahead of Leevi Merilainen.

Markstrom turned aside 35 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Senators.

The teams traded goals through the first two periods, with all the Sens' tallies coming on the power play. However, Markstrom stood tall in the third and didn't allow Ottawa an equalizer after Cody Glass gave New Jersey its final lead. Markstrom snapped a three-start losing streak in the process, and since the beginning of November, the veteran netminder has gone 6-4-1 in 11 outings with a 2.99 GAA and an .896 save percentage.
