Quick stopped 40 of 42 shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Red Wings.

Quick kept the Rangers in the game as long as he could, but Lucas Raymond's goal with 3:47 left in the third period was the decisive tally. While it was Quick's second loss of the year, the fault isn't on him. He's been excellent while going 3-2-0, adding a 1.42 GAA and a .951 save percentage through five starts. He won't sustain those numbers all year, but Quick is among the top backups in the league, despite his limited playing time behind Igor Shesterkin. With no back-to-back sets over the next week, it's unclear when Quick might get his next opportunity between the pipes, though Shesterkin has not started more than four consecutive games yet.

Talbot stopped 18 of 19 shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.

The Red Wings dominated the pace of this game, but it was tied for the vast majority of the time, requiring Talbot to be sharp until Lucas Raymond broke a 1-1 tie with 3:47 left in the third period. Talbot has won four of his last five games while allowing just 11 goals in that span. The 38-year-old netminder is up to 7-2-0 with a 2.71 GAA and an .896 save percentage across 10 appearances. He's been alternating starts with John Gibson, and if that pattern holds, Gibson would face the Kraken on Tuesday before Talbot opposes the Islanders on Thursday, with both games in Detroit.

Lindbom allowed three goals on 27 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.

Lindbom has come up winless in five outings, going 0-3-2 so far. The Golden Knights broke their goalie rotation this weekend, but there's not much to read into there due to the back-to-back road set, though Akira Schmid won his game. Lindbom has added a 3.18 GAA and an .873 save percentage so far, which are about the expected results from a third-string goalie forced into a larger role. The Golden Knights' next game is Tuesday at home versus the Rangers, though that's likely to be a start for Schmid.

Gustavsson stopped 23 of 25 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Both goals Gustavsson gave up came on Vegas power plays. He had lost his last two outings (0-1-1) while allowing a total of six goals on 45 shots in that span. For the season, Gustavsson has a 5-7-2 record with a 2.99 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 14 starts. He's getting a little bit of pressure from Jesper Wallstedt, who has posted a shutout in each of his last two starts, which could force the Wild's crease into more of a timeshare situation. The Wild have a tough matchup ahead as they host the Hurricanes on Wednesday.

Sorokin will occupy the crease Sunday in Colorado, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Sorokin has won three straight games and four of his last five, posting a 4-0-1 record, 1.75 GAA and .939 save percentage during that run of success. While the Russian netminder has turned things around after a shaky start to the season, he'll face an incredibly tough challenge against the league's top team Sunday. The Avalanche are 6-0-2 on home ice and have scored 74 goals through 18 games, which is seven more goals than any other team in the NHL.

Stevenson stopped 36 of 37 shots in AHL Hershey's 2-1 overtime win over Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Stevenson is 5-3-0 with a 2.49 GAA and a .909 save percentage over eight games for the Bears in 2025-26, playing better than he did last season but below his 2023-24 level. Stevenson is considered among the most NHL-ready goalies that aren't at that level already, so he'll be the next man up if Logan Thompson or Charlie Lindgren gets hurt.

Beckman posted a 34-save shutout in QMJHL Baie-Comeau's 1-0 win over Rouyn-Noranda on Sunday.

This was Beckman's second shutout of the year and the ninth of his junior career. He's earned half of his wins this season via shutout, as he's gone 4-12-3 in 21 appearances with a 2.99 GAA and a .912 save percentage. Baie-Comeau has had a rough season, but the Senators prospect is doing his best to keep their games close despite the poor results.

Talbot will patrol the road blue paint against the Rangers on Sunday, according to Dan Rosen of NHL.com.

Talbot will get the nod in the second half of a back-to-back after John Gibson was in net for Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to Buffalo. The 38-year-old Talbot owns a 6-7-0 record, 3.04 GAA and .896 save over 13 career regular-season appearances against the Rangers. New York has won three consecutive games, scoring 14 goals during that span.

Quick will be between the home pipes Sunday versus the Red Wings, per Colin Stephenson of Newsday.

Quick has been tremendous with a minimal workload in 2025-26 -- he is 3-1-0 with one shutout and has turned aside 96 of 101 shots across four starts. The two-time Stanley Cup champion's last start also came against Detroit, as he stopped 32 of 33 shots in a 4-1 win earlier this month. The Red Wings are coming off a 5-4 overtime loss to the Sabres on Saturday and are tied for 18th in the NHL with 3.00 goals per game.

Lindbom will serve as the starting goaltender during Sunday's road game against the Wild, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

Lindbom has split time in net with Akira Schmid while Adin Hill (lower body) has been sidelined. However, Lindbom hasn't yet picked up his first win this year, going 0-3-1 with a 3.29 GAA and .869 save percentage. He'll draw the start in the second half of a back-to-back set Sunday and will have a relatively favorable matchup against the Wild, who are scoring just 2.74 goals per game this year, which is the seventh-worst mark in the league.
