Saros gave up five goals on only 12 shots before being lifted for Justus Annunen to begin the third period of Monday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers.

Saros bore the brunt of an overdue offensive eruption by the Rangers on home ice, giving up two goals in the first period and three in the second before getting the hook. The veteran netminder has just one win in his last six starts, going 1-4-1 with a 3.72 GAA and an .865 save percentage during that rough stretch.

Markstrom stopped 21 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.

The veteran netminder did well just to earn New Jersey a point in the standings, but there wasn't much he could do against a full-speed Mathew Barzal on the winning tally. Markstrom has bounced back nicely from an eight-goal disaster against the Avalanche at the end of October, going 2-0-1 to begin November while allowing seven goals on 87 shots (.920 save percentage) as he alternates starts with Jake Allen.

Sorokin made 33 saves in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Devils.

Sorokin nearly picked up the win in regulation, but Simon Nemec blasted a shot through heavy traffic with five seconds left in the third period to tie it up. The Islanders made it up to their netminder, not allowing a shot in OT before Mathew Barzal potted the winner. Sorokin has just one loss in his last eight starts, going 5-1-2 with a 2.45 GAA and a .914 save percentage during that span, and over his last four outings, he's given up just six goals on 118 shots (.949 save percentage).

Saros will be between the road pipes against the Rangers on Monday, per Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Saros is 1-3-1 over his last five appearances, allowing 16 goals on 144 shots during that stretch (.889 save percentage). The 30-year-old holds a 5-4-1 record, .940 save percentage and 1.76 GAA across 11 career outings against the Rangers. New York is 4-2-0 in its last six games.

Markstrom will patrol the home crease Monday versus the Islanders, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Markstrom has won back-to-back games after allowing eight goals in his return from a lower-body injury against Colorado on Oct. 28. The Swedish netminder has a 4-2-0 record, 3.95 GAA and .871 save percentage across six appearances this season. The Islanders are coming off a 5-0 win over the Rangers on Saturday and rank ninth in the NHL with 3.33 goals per game in 2025-26.

Bobrovsky will defend the road net against the Golden Knights on Monday, per Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site.

Bobrovsky is coming off a 24-save performance in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Kings. He has a 7-4-0 record with one shutout, a 2.74 GAA and an .887 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. Vegas is tied for 12th in the league with 3.29 goals per game this campaign.

Lindbom was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Panthers.

Lindbom has yet to enter the win column this season, as he's gone 0-2-1 with a 3.35 GAA and .873 save percentage over his three starts for the Golden Knights. However, he's been in a timeshare with Akira Schmid while Adin Hill (lower body) has been sidelined, and that trend will continue Monday. The Panthers have struggled offensively early this season, scoring just 2.60 goals per game, which is tied for the fourth-worst mark in the NHL.

Murashov stopped 24 of 27 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

Murashov's NHL debut came down to the final 10 minutes before he allowed the game-winning goal to Kevin Fiala. As he kept the Penguins in front through the second period, Murashov might have done enough to earn more looks between the pipes moving forward. With the team's starting goaltender Tristan Jarry set to miss time with a lower-body injury, Murashov will likely occupy the backup role while Arturs Silovs sees the largest bump in playing time. Murashov remains off the fantasy radar for the time being, but that could change if he picks up a win in Jarry's absence.

Kuemper made 31 saves on 33 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

Despite allowing a goal in each of the first two periods, Kuemper held on over the final 32 minutes of regulation while the Kings' offense pulled off the comeback win. Overall, the 35-year-old has a 5-3-3 record with a 2.52 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 11 appearances this season. With just one regulation loss over his last five games, Kuemper is finding his stride and has helped the Kings jump back into a tie for second place in the Pacific Division. In fantasy, he should be rostered in most formats and will likely play 50-plus games this season if he can stay healthy. His next opportunity to defend the Kings' net is Tuesday against Montreal.

Greaves will get the starting nod on the road against the Oilers on Monday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Greaves will look to bounce back from his disappointing last time out, in which he gave up four goals on 25 shots in a 5-1 defeat to the Flames. With the Blue Jackets heading into a back-to-back, fantasy managers can expect Elvis Merzlikins to feature in the crease for Tuesday's road game versus the Kraken.
