Bobrovsky will patrol the home crease versus Tampa Bay on Monday.

Bobrovsky has won three of his last four outings, stopping 93 of 99 shots. He has a 25-13-2 record with three shutouts, a 2.59 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 40 appearances this season. Tampa Bay ranks second in the league with 3.56 goals per game, and the team is riding an eight-game winning streak.

Ullmark was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports, indicating he'll be in goal on the road versus Washington.

Ullmark was able to end a four-game losing streak with his victory over San Jose on Saturday, despite having given up three goals on 37 shots (.919 save percentage) in that contest. It was the 31-year-old netminder's first win since returning from a long-term back injury. Even with the slump, Ullmark continues to see the majority of the workload ahead of Anton Forsberg.

Gustavsson saved all 28 shots he faced in Sunday's 1-0 win against the Bruins.

Gustavsson held strong in Minnesota's crease all game, including a key save down the stretch to deny Boston's Mason Lohrei the game-tying goal. Overall, the 26-year-old Gustavsson has a 23-13-3 record with a 2.61 GAA and a .914 save percentage. Sunday's performance was Gustavsson's fourth shutout of the season and his first since early January. The Swedish goaltender also ranks sixth among goaltenders in wins this season. He remains an elite option in fantasy moving forward as Minnesota is challenging for a playoff spot in the Central Division. His next opportunity to defend Minnesota's net is Tuesday at Seattle.

Blomqvist was demoted to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday.

Blomqvist has been struggling of late, going 1-2-1 with a 4.30 GAA in his last five outings, including giving up six goals on 33 shots in Sunday's overtime loss to Toronto. With the youngster's performance slipping, the Penguins decided to get him some minutes in the minors while bringing up Tristan Jarry in a corresponding move. If Pittsburgh can move Jarry before the March 7 trade deadline, Blomqvist could find himself back in the NHL sooner rather than later.

Jarry was called up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday.

Jarry's last NHL appearance was Jan. 14 versus the Kraken, a game in which he gave up three goals on 17 shots in a fifth consecutive loss. In the minors, the 29-year-old netminder hasn't found significantly more success, going 6-5-1 with a 2.67 GAA and .908 save percentage. With youngster Joel Blomqvist struggling, the team decided to send him down to the minors while bringing Jarry back up in a corresponding move. The decision could also be an opportunity for Jarry to impress ahead of the March 7 trade deadline.

Thompson will protect the home net against Ottawa on Monday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Thompson has lost his last two outings, surrendering five goals on 43 shots. He has a 25-4-5 record with two shutouts, a 2.27 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 34 appearances this season. Ottawa is tied for 22nd in the league with 2.80 goals per game in 2024-25.

Swayman made 21 saves on 22 shots in Sunday's 1-0 road loss to the Wild.

The lone goal Swayman allowed was in the second period after Frederick Gaudreau redirected a shot from Marcus Johansson. With the loss, Swayman holds a record of 18-20-6 with a 2.95 GAA and an .898 save percentage. The 26-year-old netminder has lost his last five appearances and has surrendered 15 goals in that span. While he will continue to see plenty of action down the stretch amid Boston's chase for an Eastern Conference playoff spot, Swayman finds himself in a tier below some of the best netminders in the league until he can find the win column consistently. His next opportunity to guard the crease will be Tuesday at home against Nashville.

Lindgren secured a three-year, $9 million contract from the Capitals on Monday.

Lindgren's deal follows the Caps' decision to re-sign fellow backstop Logan Thompson to a six-year, $35.1 million back in January, locking up their netminding duo for the foreseeable future. While Lindgren was seeing an even share of the duties for much of the year, he only played in three of the Caps' eight February contests. Still, Lindgren should continue to see plenty of work down the stretch, even if he has fallen behind Thompson in the pecking order.

Hill posted a 25-save shutout in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Devils.

Hill won his third straight start, and he's allowed just two goals over that span. The 28-year-old was in a goaltending duel with Jacob Markstrom through two periods before the Golden Knights' power play broke the game open in the final frame. Hill is up to three shutouts this season and 10 in his career. He's at a 22-10-4 record with a 2.52 GAA and a .906 save percentage across a career-high 36 games played. Head coach Bruce Cassidy has often alternated between Hill and Ilya Samsonov, but Hill's been playing better lately, so he may be due to take a larger share of starts.

Markstrom stopped 22 of 24 shots in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Golden Knights.

Markstrom dueled with Adin Hill over the first two periods. The Devils then took two penalties in the first half of the third, and Vegas cashed in both of those power plays before more penalties put an end to New Jersey's comeback efforts. All told, it wasn't a bad performance for Markstrom in his first action since suffering a sprained MCL in a Jan. 22 game versus the Bruins. He's lost his last four results over a five-game span, but he's given up more than two goals just once in that stretch. For the season, he's at a 21-10-5 record with a 2.19 GAA and a .912 save save percentage across 37 starts. Markstrom should see a starter's workload down the stretch as the Devils jockey for playoff positioning in the Metropolitan Division standings. They conclude their five-game road trip in Dallas on Tuesday.
