Lindgren will patrol the home crease against Columbus on Sunday, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.

Lindgren will get the second half of Washington's back-to-back after Hunter Shepard played in Saturday's 7-0 loss to the Blue Jackets. The 31-year-old Lindgren has a 19-13-3 record with one shutout, a 2.74 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 37 appearances this season. Columbus sits 10th in the league with 3.22 goals per game in 2024-25.

Demko (illness) won't be in the lineup for the rest of the regular season, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports Sunday.

After missing Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Minnesota, Demko won't play in Monday's home matchup against San Jose or Wednesday's home game versus Vegas. Kevin Lankinen and Nikita Tolopilo could split the final two games of the Canucks' season. Demko will conclude the 2024-25 campaign with a 10-8-3 record, one shutout, a 2.90 GAA and an .889 save percentage across 23 appearances.

Merzlikins (undisclosed) won't play Sunday in Washington, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

Merzlikins hasn't been in net since Tuesday, when he stopped 33 of 35 shots to beat Ottawa. He has a 26-21-5 record, 3.18 GAA and .892 save percentage in 53 appearances this campaign. Jet Greaves is expected to start against the Capitals, while Daniil Tarasov will serve as the backup netminder.

Greaves will defend the road net against Washington on Sunday, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

Greaves is coming off a 22-save performance in Saturday's 7-0 shutout win over the Capitals. With Elvis Merzlikins (upper body) unavailable, Greaves will get the nod again in Sunday's rematch. The 24-year-old Greaves has a 4-2-2 record with a 2.37 GAA and a .921 save percentage in eight NHL appearances this season. Washington is tied for first in the league with 3.54 goals per game in 2024-25.

Andersen is slated to start at home against Toronto on Sunday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Andersen will try to rebound after allowing nine goals on 55 shots (.836 save percentage) over his past two appearances. He's 13-6-1 with a 2.20 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 20 outings this season. Toronto ranks ninth overall in goals per game with 3.23.

Korpisalo is expected to start on the road against Pittsburgh on Sunday, per Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic.

Korpisalo has a 10-10-3 record, 2.98 GAA and .891 save percentage in 26 appearances in 2024-25. Sunday's matchup might be his last start of 2024-25 -- it's the Bruins' penultimate game, and Jeremy Swayman might start in Boston's season finale versus New Jersey on Tuesday -- so Korpisalo will try to end the campaign on a high note after going winless across his past six appearances (0-4-1). Pittsburgh is in a three-way tie for 17th in goals per game with 2.95.

Dostal will protect the home net against Colorado on Sunday, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Dostal surrendered six goals on 29 shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Kings. He has a 23-22-6 record with one shutout, a 3.11 GAA and a .903 save percentage across 52 appearances this season. Colorado sits sixth in the league with 3.32 goals per game in 2024-25, but the team is resting several regulars down the stretch, including Nathan MacKinnon (undisclosed) and Cale Makar (rest).

Jarry will guard the home net Sunday against Boston, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

Jarry has won his last two starts, allowing just two goals on 54 shots in that span. Overall, he's 16-11-6 on the year with an .891 save percentage and 3.12 GAA.

Romanov will defend the road net versus the Flames on Sunday, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

After nine appearances, including seven this season, Romanov is still seeking his first NHL victory. He has stopped 104 of 114 shots en route to a record of 0-3-0 in April, including a 29-save effort in a 3-2 loss to Calgary on Monday. The Flames sit 30th in the league with 2.61 goals per game in 2024-25.

Forsberg will guard the home net Sunday against the Flyers, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Forsberg will look to bounce back from a rough showing against the Blue Jackets in his last start, during which he allowed five goals on 35 shots in a loss. Overall, the 32-year-old netminder is 10-12-2 with a .904 save percentage and 2.66 GAA this season.
