  • Devin Cooley G | CGY

    Flames' Devin Cooley: Sunday starter

    Cooley will tend the goal for Sunday's contest against the Ducks, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

    Cooley will get his first start of the post-Olympic break schedule Sunday with the Flames on the second of a back-to-back. The 28-year-old has been sharp in his limited action on the season, sporting a 7-6-3 record, a 2.27 GAA and a .921 save percentage on the season. The Ducks own the league's 13th-best offense at 3.28 goals per game.

  • Joel Hofer G | STL

    Blues' Joel Hofer: Starts in Minny

    Hofer will start in goal Sunday against the Wild, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

    It has been a 50-50 split in net for the Blues in their last 10 games, alternating between Hofer and Jordan Binnington. The latter started the Blues' last game, so it's Hofer's turn in the rotation Sunday. The 25-year-old Hofer has a 13-11-3 record, 2.87 GAA and .897 save percentage on the season. The Wild boast the NHL's 11th-best offense at 3.22 goals per game, so it will be a tough task for the netminder on the road.

  • Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Defending crease Sunday

    Gustavsson will protect the home net against St. Louis on Sunday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

    Gustavsson stopped 44 of 45 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over Colorado before leaving the game due to an illness. However, he recovered in time to serve as Jesper Wallstedt's backup in Friday's 5-2 loss to Utah. The 27-year-old Gustavsson has a 21-9-6 record this campaign with a 2.60 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 37 appearances. St. Louis ranks 28th in the league with 2.58 goals per game this season.

  • Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Leads team out in warmups

    Soderblom led the team out for warmups and will start Sunday's game against the Mammoth in net, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Soderblom hasn't played since Jan. 29, an amount of time that spans six games. However, with the Blackhawks on the second of a back-to-back, he'll get the start Sunday. The 26-year-old is 5-9-2 on the season with a 3.84 GAA and an .874 save percentage. He will face a Mammoth team that ranks 14th in the league at 3.22 goals per game as Soderblom tries for his first win since Jan. 4.

  • Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Facing Blackhawks

    Vejmelka will patrol the home crease against Chicago on Sunday.

    Vejmelka is coming off a 21-save performance in Friday's 5-2 win over Minnesota. He has a 28-15-2 record this campaign with a 2.60 GAA, a .901 save percentage and one shutout through 46 appearances. Chicago sits 26th in the league with 2.61 goals per game this season.

  • Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Sunday starter

    Nedeljkovic is starting Sunday's game against the Jets, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

    Nedeljkovic will make his first start since Jan. 31 with the Sharks on the second leg of a back-to-back. The 30-year-old is 10-9-2 with a 2.91 GAA and an .899 save percentage entering play Sunday. He faces a Jets team that scores 2.86 goals per game, 24th in the league.

  • Jakub Dobes G | MON

    Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Cruises to win Saturday

    Dobes stopped 27 of 29 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Capitals.

    He was beaten twice by Alex Ovechkin, but Dobes found a way to stop the rest of the Capitals' offense effectively. It's not like he needed a strong showing, as the Canadiens supplied him with enough support by scoring at least two goals in each period. Dobes has won six of his last seven starts dating back to Jan. 12, a period in which he's gone 6-0-1 with a 2.67 GAA and a .904 save percentage.

  • Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Cruises to win Saturday

    Blackwood stopped 14 of 15 shots on net in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

    Apart from Connor Bedard's power-play goal just under seven minutes into the first period, Blackwood experienced smooth sailing en route to his first win following the Olympic break. With the victory, he is up to a 17-6-1 record, a 2.23 GAA and a .916 save percentage across 24 games this season. Despite alternating wins and losses over his last eight outings, Blackwood has remained a strong overall option when healthy and appears to have surpassed Scott Wedgewood as the team's No. 1 netminder. Barring injury, Blackwood should continue to see a substantial workload moving forward and profiles as a strong fantasy option behind Colorado's elite offense.

  • Capitals' Charlie Lindgren: Gives up four goals

    Lindgren stopped 19 of 23 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Canadiens. The other two goals were empty-netters.

    Lindgren was beaten twice in the first frame and twice more in the second. By the time Montreal added a fifth goal, he was already on the bench while the Capitals were trying to find a late equalizer. This was Lindgren's first appearance since Jan. 29, when he earned the win in a 4-3 victory over the Red Wings after stopping 18 of 21 shots. He's firmly entrenched as the backup behind Logan Thompson, so Lindgren's expected to see minimal playing time for the foreseeable future.

  • Adin Hill G | LV

    Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Starting in Pittsburgh

    Hill will defend the road net against the Penguins on Sunday.

    Hill is coming off a 15-save effort in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Kings. He has a 5-3-3 record this campaign with a 3.34 GAA and an .865 save percentage through 13 appearances. Pittsburgh ranks sixth in the league this season with 3.40 goals per game.
