Kuemper is slated to serve as the starting netminder for Monday's road game against Washington.

Kuemper has picked up wins in each of his last four starts, posting a 1.51 GAA and .935 save percentage during that stretch, which includes a shutout win over Winnipeg. The Capitals haven't been very effective offensively this season, scoring just 2.83 goals per game, which ranks 23rd in the league.

Dostal will protect the home net against Utah on Monday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Dostal has lost his last two outings while allowing eight goals on 67 shots. He has posted a record of 8-5-1 with a 2.86 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 14 appearances this season. Utah is tied for 12th in the league with 3.22 goals per game this campaign.

Swayman was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Belle Fraser of the Bruins' official site reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against Carolina on Monday.

Swayman has surrendered only 12 goals on 156 shots during his five-game winning streak, which started with a 28-save performance in a 2-1 victory over the Hurricanes on Nov. 1. He has posted a record of 8-4-0 with a 2.99 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 12 appearances this season. Carolina is tied for second in the league with 3.67 goals per game this campaign.

Woll is set to start Tuesday's home game against the Blues, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

Woll made his season debut against Chicago on Saturday, turning aside 29 of 32 shots (.906 save percentage) en route to the loss. He'll draw a second consecutive start and will face a relatively favorable opponent Tuesday, as the Blues are scoring just 2.79 goals per game this year, which is the ninth-worst mark in the league.

Skinner will defend the road net against the Sabres on Monday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Skinner is coming off a 33-save performance in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Carolina. He has a 7-4-3 record with one shutout, a 2.77 GAA and an .891 save percentage through 14 appearances this season. Buffalo ranks 25th in the league with 2.78 goals per game this campaign.

Ellis will defend the home crease against the Oilers on Monday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Ellis has seen limited playing time for the Sabres this season but has been relatively effective when called upon, going 2-1-0 with a 3.35 GAA and .895 save percentage over his three appearances. He's coming off an overtime win in Detroit on Saturday, and he'll draw back-to-back starts for the first time this season. The Oilers have had a middling offense early in the year, scoring 3.10 goals per game, which ranks 16th in the league.

Bobrovsky will serve as the starting netminder at home against the Canucks on Monday.

Bobrovsky has alternated starts with Daniil Tarasov over the past week and a half, but the former will make a second consecutive start Monday. Across five starts since the beginning of November, Bobrovsky has gone 3-2-0 with a 3.18 GAA and .878 save percentage.

Lindgren will patrol the home crease against the Kings on Monday, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Lindgren has lost his last four outings (0-3-1) while surrendering 18 goals on 112 shots. It's been a rocky road for the 31-year-old netminder after he posted a 35-save shutout win against the Rangers on Oct. 12 in his season debut. The Kings rank 22nd in the league with 2.84 goals per game this campaign.

Merzlikins is slated to start Tuesday's road game against Winnipeg, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Merzlikins has served as the Blue Jackets' No. 2 netminder recently, and he'll operate as the backup in a fifth consecutive game Monday at home against the Canadiens since Jet Greaves will remain in the net. However, Merzlikins will have an opportunity to tend the twine in the second half of the back-to-back set. Over seven appearances to begin the regular season, Merzlikins has gone 4-3-0 with a 3.14 GAA and .908 save percentage.

Greaves will get the starting nod at home versus the Canadiens on Monday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Greaves will be making his fifth consecutive appearance in the crease for the Blue Jackets, seemingly cementing himself as the No. 1 option in Columbus. In his last four outings, the young netminder is sporting a 2.63 GAA and a 2-0-2 record. With Columbus heading into a back-to-back, Elvis Merzlikins will be between the pipes for Tuesday's road game versus the Jets.
