Korpisalo will patrol the home crease against Buffalo on Monday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

Korpisalo will make his first start since stopping 20 of 23 shots in a 3-2 loss to Carolina on March 6, though he also appeared in relief of Jeremy Swayman against the Senators on Thursday. Korpisalo has a 10-7-2 record with three shutouts, a 2.79 GAA and an .896 save percentage across 22 appearances this season. Buffalo ranks 12th in the league with 3.12 goals per game in 2024-25.

Wolf will guard the road goal versus Toronto on Monday, according to Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Wolf has lost his last two outings (0-1-1), surrendering six goals on 58 shots. He has a 22-13-5 record with three shutouts, a 2.54 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 40 appearances this season. Toronto ranks 11th in the league with 3.17 goals per game in 2024-25.

Allen was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start in Columbus.

Allen has picked up wins in his last two starts, recording a 1.50 GAA and .947 across that span. The Blue Jackets will be a formidable opponent Monday, as they rank eighth in the NHL with 3.23 goals per game.

Gustavsson will protect the home net against the Kings on Monday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Gustavsson has earned one win in his last four outings (1-2-1), allowing 10 goals on 104 shots. He has a 25-15-4 record with four shutouts, a 2.60 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 45 appearances this season. The Kings sit 21st in the league with 2.83 goals per game in 2024-25.

Fedotov will start Monday's road game against Tampa Bay.

Fedotov has been charged with losses in his last three appearances, going 0-3-0 with a 2.90 GAA and .890 save percentage. He'll attempt to turn things around Monday but could have trouble doing so against Tampa Bay, as the Lightning rank second in the NHL with 3.53 goals per game.

Merzlikins (personal) didn't participate in Monday's morning skate and won't be in the lineup for Monday's home matchup versus New Jersey, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Merzlikins will miss his second straight game. Jet Greaves will start Monday's game versus the Devils, and Daniil Tarasov will be the backup netminder. Merzlikins has posted a 22-18-4 record with one shutout, a 3.04 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 44 appearances this season.

Greaves will serve as the starting netminder for Monday's home game against New Jersey, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Greaves will make his first start since being called up by the Blue Jackets on Friday, as Elvis Merzlikins (personal) remains sidelined. Over five NHL appearances this year, Greaves has gone 2-1-2 with a 2.98 GAA and .906 save percentage.

Vasilevskiy was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Flyers.

After winning his last seven games in February, Vasilevskiy has been relatively inconsistent recently, going 3-3-0 with a 2.85 GAA and .887 save percentage over six starts in March. He drew a home start against the Flyers in early November, turning aside 30 of 31 shots (.968 save percentage) in a shootout loss.

Daccord stopped 23 of 26 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.

Daccord held up well early on, but the Jets were able to overcome a 2-0 deficit. Dylan Samberg then delivered the game-winning tally in overtime, sending Daccord to his fourth loss in five outings. The 28-year-old netminder is now 22-18-4 with a 2.68 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 46 appearances. Daccord and Philipp Grubauer will likely split the next two starts as the Kraken visit the Blackhawks on Tuesday and the Wild on Wednesday for a back-to-back set.

Hellebuyck stopped five of six shots in relief of Eric Comrie in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.

Hellebuyck played 10:10 during the first period while Comrie was being examined following the concussion spotter's call to take him out of the game. Hellebuyck gave up a goal in that stretch, but the Jets' comeback win got him off the hook, and Comrie ended up getting credit for the victory since he was able to finish out the contest. Hellebuyck remains at 39-9-3 with a 1.99 GAA and a .927 save percentage over 52 appearances this season. His next chance to go for win No. 40 is likely to be Tuesday in Vancouver.
