Annunen will serve as the starting goalie for Sunday's road game against St. Louis, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Annunen has been inconsistent in recent outings, going 1-2-1 with a 2.47 GAA and .907 save percentage. He's seen sporadic playing time over the past month but will draw the start in the second half of a back-to-back set Sunday.

Bobrovsky will patrol the home crease against Pittsburgh on Sunday, according to Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network.

Bobrovsky will get the second half of Florida's back-to-back after Vitek Vanecek played in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Washington. The 36-year-old Bobrovsky has a 29-15-2 record with five shutouts, a 2.45 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 46 appearances this season. Pittsburgh sits 18th in the league with 2.94 goals per game in 2024-25.

Thompson made 33 saves on 36 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.

After allowing three goals in a shaky first period, Thompson stood firm to tend a clean game the rest of the way. The 28-year-old netminder is up to an impressive 31-4-5 record with a 2.30 GAA and a .917 save percentage. With Saturday's win, Thompson extended his winning streak to six games. He is a top-tier fantasy option between the pipes and should be started with full confidence in all leagues with his win over the defending champions being proof that he is on top of his game. His next opportunity to guard the crease is Tuesday against the Jets.

Comrie will patrol the home crease against Buffalo on Sunday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Comrie has won his last two outings, stopping 35 of 37 shots. He has posted a record of 8-8-1 with one shutout, a 2.39 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 17 appearances this season. Buffalo sits 12th in the league with 3.07 goals per game in 2024-25 and lost 4-1 against Minnesota on Saturday.

Fedotov will guard the road net Sunday in Chicago, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Fedotov started Saturday against Dallas, though he was replaced by Samuel Ersson after allowing two goals on three shots in the first period. The 28-year-old Fedotov will face a Chicago team that's averaging 2.64 goals per game, fourth-fewest in the league. Overall, Fedotov is 5-12-3 with an .884 save percentage and 3.03 GAA this season.

Reimer will guard the road net Sunday against the Jets, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

It'll be just the second start in 10 games for Reimer -- he allowed three goals on 30 shots in a loss to Utah on Thursday. Overall, the veteran netminder is 2-6-2 with a .902 save percentage and 2.72 GAA this year. Reimer will have a tough matchup against a Winnipeg team that averages 3.46 goals per game, the third-best mark in the league.

Vanecek stopped 25 of 31 shots on goal in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals.

Vanecek helped the Panthers pace the Capitals in an action-packed first period headlined by six goals. However, he experienced a collapse in the second period, allowing three goals in just under six minutes, including two tallies within the first minute of the period. Vanecek has regressed in each of his three starts with the Panthers, going from a shutout to three goals allowed and now six goals against. The 29-year-old netminder holds a 4-12-3 record with a 3.76 GAA and an .883 save percentage in 21 games this season between San Jose and Florida. While Vanecek has some fantasy value when tending Florida's net against some of the league's weaker offenses, it is best to fade him in most situations.

Knight will guard the home net Sunday against the Flyers, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Knight will be looking to snap a four-game losing streak Sunday -- he's struggled to an .877 save percentage in that span. Overall, the 23-year-old netminder is 2-4-0 with a .909 save percentage since joining Chicago at the trade deadline.

Jarry will defend the road net against Florida on Sunday, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

Jarry's four-game winning streak ended in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders, but he stopped 34 of 37 shots in the defeat. He has a 12-9-4 record with a 3.13 GA and an .894 save percentage through 27 appearances this season. Florida sits 10th in the league with 3.16 goals per game in 2024-25 and posted a 6-3 loss to Washington on Saturday.

Korpisalo stopped 18 of 20 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Sharks. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Korpisalo was unable to win in his 300th career appearance, instead taking his third loss in four outings. He hasn't been bad in that stretch, allowing a modest nine goals on 89 shots in that 0-2-1 span. The 30-year-old netminder is now at 10-8-3 with a 2.75 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 24 appearances in 2024-25. Jeremy Swayman will likely start Sunday in Los Angeles, and he could be between the pipes for the last two games of this road trip (Wednesday in Anaheim, next Saturday in Detroit) as well.
