Soderblom allowed four goals on 29 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Soderblom took his fourth straight loss (0-2-2), and he's allowed a total of 16 goals in that span. The opponents in that span have been largely challenging, and coupled with the Blackhawks' generally poor play, that makes winning tough for Soderblom. He's down to 7-13-5 with a 3.05 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 26 outings this season. The Blackhawks begin a three-game road trip Tuesday in Utah.

Woll stopped 25 of 27 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.

He would have had a shutout if periods were 19 minutes long -- both of the Blackhawks' goals came in the final minute of a frame. Woll has been just fine lately, giving up either two or three goals in nine straight outings while winning six of them. He's now 20-11-0 with a 2.63 GAA and a .910 save percentage across 31 appearances this season. Woll and Anthony Stolarz figure to share the workload the rest of the way, though both have proven themselves capable as starters when the other has been out at times this season. The Maple Leafs visit the Bruins on Tuesday.

Blomqvist surrendered four goals on 15 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers. The fifth marker was an empty-netter.

After allowing three goals in relief of Alex Nedeljkovic in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Capitals, Blomqvist was unable to make a timely save for his team in Sunday's loss. The Penguins were outshooting the Rangers 31-9 after two periods, but Igor Shesterkin was stellar in the road crease. Blomqvist has struggled in his first NHL season -- he's conceded at least three goals in 11 of 13 appearances in 2024-25. Overall, the Finnish netminder owns a 3-9-0 record, .886 save percentage and 3.72 GAA.

Shesterkin turned aside 36 of 39 shots on goal in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Penguins.

Shesterkin rebounded in a big way on the road Sunday after being pulled in the first period of Saturday's loss to the Sabres. The Russian netminder stood on his head in the middle frame, stopping all 19 shots he faced. Joel Blomqvist struggled in the opposing crease -- the Rangers managed to find the back of the net five times despite having nine shots on goal through two periods and 16 overall. Shesterkin is sporting a 19-20-2 record, .903 save percentage and 2.98 GAA through 41 appearances this season. The 29-year-old will likely be between the road pipes against the Islanders on Tuesday.

Lindgren stopped 22 of 25 shots faced during Sunday's 7-3 home win over the Oilers.

Lindgren was buoyed by another effort of seven-plus goals by the Capitals, including a hat trick from Alex Ovechkin. The 31-year-old improves to a 2.63 GAA and a .900 save percentage to go along with a 13-9-3 record in 26 starts and is likely to be in action when the Capitals face the Blues on Thursday.

Pickard turned aside 27 of 33 shots faced during Sunday's 7-3 road loss to the Capitals.

Pickard got staked to an early lead before the high-octane Capitals roared back in a duel of backup netminders. The 32-year-old will fall to 14-6-0 in 22 starts and has now dropped consecutive decisions after a five-game win streak during the month of January.

Silovs will draw the start in Sunday's road game against Utah, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

Silovs will start in the second half of a back-to-back set after Kevin Lankinen tended the twine in Saturday's loss to Vegas. Silovs hasn't made an appearance in the NHL since Nov. 27, and he's gone 1-4-1 with a 4.11 GAA and an .847 save percentage over seven outings with the Canucks this season.

Dostal will tend the twine on the road against Detroit on Sunday.

Dostal will draw the start after entering Saturday's game against the Bruins in relief after John Gibson sustained an upper-body injury. Dostal has picked up wins in each of his last five outings, posting a 2.20 GAA and a .936 save percentage during that time. Gibson is considered day-to-day, so Oscar Dansk will serve as Dostal's backup Sunday.

Vasilevskiy will patrol the home crease versus the Kraken on Sunday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Vasilevskiy has stopped 118 of 128 shots during his four-game winning streak. He has a 25-15-3 record with three shutouts, a 2.32 GAA and a .918 save percentage across 43 appearances this season. Seattle sits 15th in the league with 2.93 goals per game in 2024-25 and won 2-1 against Florida on Saturday.

Gibson (upper body) has been ruled out for Sunday's road game against Detroit.

Gibson sustained an upper-body injury against the Bruins on Saturday, and he's considered day-to-day for now. Oscar Dansk was called up from AHL San Diego on Sunday, while Lukas Dostal will likely draw the start for Sunday's road matchup against the Red Wings. Gibson's next chance to return will be Tuesday in Buffalo.
