Ivan Fedotov G | PHI
Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Tending twine Monday
Fedotov will patrol the home crease against Vegas on Monday, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.
Despite a 33-save effort, Fedotov's three-game winning streak ended Wednesday in a 4-1 loss to Carolina. He has a 3-4-0 record with a 3.69 GAA and an .875 save percentage through seven appearances this season. Vegas sits fourth in the league with 3.86 goals per game in 2024-25.

Karel Vejmelka G | UTA
Hockey Club's Karel Vejmelka: Can't sweep weekend back-to-back
Vejmelka stopped 32 of 35 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Vejmelka turned in another solid performance, but a three-goal second period from Toronto handed him his fourth loss in his last seven outings (2-4-0). The 28-year-old has given up just 13 goals on 210 shots in that span, good for a .925 save percentage. Vejmelka will fill the No. 1 role while Connor Ingram (upper body) is on injured reserve, and the fact that Vejmelka played both games of a back-to-back speaks volumes as to how little confidence Utah has in Jaxson Stauber. Consider Vejmelka likely to start again Tuesday in Montreal. He has a 2-6-0 record despite a 2.30 GAA and a .926 save percentage through 10 outings this season.

Joseph Woll G | TOR
Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Wins fourth straight start
Woll stopped 23 of 25 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over Utah.
Woll has won four straight starts, allowing just six goals on 104 shots in that span. Utah had the first and last goals Sunday, but Toronto scored three times in the middle frame. The win improved Woll's overall numbers to 5-2-0 with a 2.00 GAA and a .921 save percentage through seven starts. The Maple Leafs are getting excellent play from both Woll and Anthony Stolarz this season, so this should ultimately shake out as a fairly even timeshare. A tough pair of road games are next on the schedule, as the Maple Leafs visit the Panthers on Wednesday and the Lightning on Saturday.

Yaniv Perets G | CAR
Hurricanes' Yaniv Perets: Summoned from AHL
Perets was recalled from AHL Chicago on Sunday.
Perets has a 1-2-0 record with a 3.67 GAA and an .825 save percentage in three AHL appearances. He could occupy the backup role behind Spencer Martin on Monday against Dallas because of injuries to Pyotr Kochetkov (upper body) and Frederik Andersen (knee).

Pheonix Copley G | LA
Kings' Pheonix Copley: Back to AHL
Copley was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Sunday.
Copley served as David Rittich's backup in Saturday's matchup with the Kraken. The 32-year-old netminder could potentially rejoin the Kings prior to Monday's game in San Jose, though goaltender Erik Portillo was recalled from Ontario in a corresponding move.

Karel Vejmelka G | UTA
Hockey Club's Karel Vejmelka: Between pipes again Sunday
Vejmelka will guard the road net Sunday against the Maple Leafs, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
After stopping 27 of 28 shots in a win over Pittsburgh on Saturday, Vejmelka will make a second start in as many days with Connor Ingram (upper body) still sidelined. The 28-year-old Vejmelka is 2-5-0 despite a strong .927 save percentage and 2.21 GAA this season.

Alex Lyon G | DET
Red Wings' Alex Lyon: Starting Monday
Lyon will guard the road net Monday against the Islanders, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.
Lyon will make his second start in three games after starting just once in Detroit's previous eight contests. The 31-year-old Lyon is 3-4-0 on the year with a .908 save percentage and 2.85 GAA.

Alex Nedeljkovic G | PIT
Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Gets little help in loss
Nedeljkovic turned aside 24 shots in Saturday's 6-1 loss to Utah.
Three of the goals against Nedeljkovic came on the power play, and he wasn't getting much help from his defense at even strength, either. The 28-year-old netminder has only one win in his last six appearances, posting a 1-2-2 record over that stretch with a rough 3.99 GAA and .855 save percentage.

Joseph Woll G | TOR
Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Back in net Sunday
Woll will get the start at home Sunday against Utah, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
The Leafs will turn to Woll again after the 26-year-old netminder posted a 31-save shutout against Vegas on Wednesday. Woll has won his last three starts, posting an impressive .949 save percentage in that span.
