Dostal will defend the road net against the Panthers on Tuesday.

During his last outing, Dostal made 29 saves in a 4-3 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday. He has a 2-3-1 record this season while stopping 161 of the 179 shots he has faced. Florida is tied for 29th in the league with 2.50 goals per game this campaign.

Schmid will protect the road goal versus the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Schmid will try to bounce back from his first loss of the season, when he gave up three goals on 26 shots to the Panthers on Saturday. He's won his other four outings while posting a 2.67 GAA and an .896 save percentage overall, including a 22-save relief performance over the Hurricanes on Oct. 20.

Binnington will patrol the home crease against Detroit on Tuesday, Lou Korac of The Hockey News reports.

Binnington will get the second half of St. Louis' back-to-back after Joel Hofer played in Monday's 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh. The 32-year-old Binnington has a 2-3-1 record this season while allowing 19 goals on 149 shots. Detroit is tied for 11th in the league with 3.33 goals per game this campaign.

Kuemper was the first goalie to leave the ice ahead of Tuesday's road clash with the Sharks, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports, indicating he'll guard the cage.

Kuemper has gone four games without suffering a regulation loss, posting a 2-0-2 record and 2.39 GAA along the way. While the veteran backstop struggled a little out of the gate, he appears to have everything trending in the right direction and should be capable of reaching the 20-win threshold like he did in 2024-25.

Andersen will patrol the home crease against the Golden Knights on Tuesday, according to Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer.

Andersen is coming off a 44-save performance in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over Colorado. He has stopped 128 of the 142 shots he has faced en route to a 4-1-0 record to begin the 2025-26 season. Vegas is tied for ninth in the league with 3.44 goals per game this campaign.

Silovs will patrol the crease on the road versus the Flyers on Tuesday, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Silovs comes into Tuesday's tilt having gone undefeated in regulation over his last three outings, posting a 2-0-1 record and a 2.27 GAA. To start the year, the Penguins have been going every other game with their backstops. Assuming that trend continues, Silovs' next start figures to be Saturday's road clash with Winnipeg.

Vejmelka will guard the road goal against Edmonton on Tuesday, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Vejmelka has won six straight games, stopping 137 of 152 shots. He has a 6-1-0 record this season while allowing only 17 goals on 179 shots. Edmonton ranks 21st in the league with 2.90 goals per game this campaign.

Quick is slated to start in Vancouver on Tuesday, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.

Quick will make his third start of the campaign Tuesday, as he holds a 1-1-0 record, 2.03 GAA and .911 save percentage across his first two appearances. Vancouver snapped a three-game losing streak in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over Edmonton, and the club is tied for 23rd in the NHL with 2.80 goals per game. Quick is 20-20-4 with a 2.10 GAA and a .924 save percentage across 44 career regular-season outings against the Canucks.

Dobes will be in goal for Tuesday's road matchup versus the Kraken.

Dobes is on fire to start the 2025-26 campaign, as he's yet to be tagged with a loss and has allowed two goals or less in four of his five appearances. The 24-year-old is currently working in a timeshare with Sam Montembeault, but Dobes could force his way into the No. 1 role if he continues to play at a high level. The Kraken are 5-2-2 but rank just 25th in the NHL with 2.78 goals per game this year.

Askarov was the first goalie off Tuesday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus the Kings.

Askarov will make his third straight appearance between the pipes for the Sharks after having split the opening seven games with Alex Nedeljkovic. With a 1-3-1 record and a 4.80 GAA, it's a little surprising Askarov is continuing to get a heavier workload. A back-to-back versus the Avs and Wings on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, should give both netminders some work in the coming days.
