Dobes stopped 36 of 37 shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Predators.

Dobes started for the first time in six games and won for the first time since March 1. He allowed an early goal to Steven Stamkos at 4:19 of the first period but closed the door the rest of the way to help the Canadiens get a fifth straight win as they strengthen their grip on the Eastern Conference's second wild-card spot. For the season, Dobes is 7-4-2 with a 2.87 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 15 games. Sam Montembeault is likely to start twice over the next week, but Dobes should get a game either Friday in Ottawa or Saturday in Toronto in the Canadiens' final back-to-back set of the season.

Nedeljkovic stopped 28 of 30 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Blackhawks. The third goal was an empty-netter.

This was Nedeljkovic's first start since March 21, though he made two relief appearances over the six games in between starts. The 29-year-old played fairly well, but the Blackhawks got a shorthanded goal from Frank Nazar and a breakaway tally by Ilya Mikheyev to send Nedeljkovic to the loss. Nedeljkovic is now at a 13-15-5 record with a 3.16 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 37 appearances. Tristan Jarry could be back between the pipes for the rematch against the Blackhawks in Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Knight stopped 28 of 29 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Penguins.

Knight was 0-3-1 with 14 goals allowed over his previous four outings. He snapped the losing streak with a strong performance Sunday, though he was 5:24 short of a shutout when Rickard Rakell got the Penguins on the board. Knight improved to 16-15-2 with a 2.62 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 35 appearances this season. The Blackhawks' next game is a rematch with the Penguins in Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Hill will start Sunday's road game against the Canucks.

Hill has picked up losses in his last two appearances, posting a 3.67 GAA and .846 save percentage during that time. The Canucks are averaging 2.84 goals per game this season, which is tied for 21st in the NHL.

Lindgren allowed four goals on 22 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders.

Lindgren took his first loss in four appearances in April, though he's allowed 12 goals on 87 shots in that span. The 31-year-old gave up a pair in the first period, and the Capitals' offense didn't have a comeback in them even with Alex Ovechkin setting the all-time goals record with his 895th career tally at 7:26 of the second period. Lindgren slipped to 18-13-3 with a 2.71 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 36 appearances this season. Logan Thompson (upper body) has been out for the last two games, and Lindgren will continue to see a heavy workload until Thompson is healthy again.

Sorokin stopped 28 of 29 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.

Sorokin was sharp, but the one goal he allowed will be on highlight reels forever, as it was Alex Ovechkin's record-breaking 895th career goal. This was the first time the Capitals' sharpshooter put a puck past Sorokin, a remarkable run of success for the goalie against the league's best-ever scorer. Sorokin will be happy to take the win Sunday, improving to 29-23-6 on the year while keeping the Islanders' slim hopes of a playoff spot alive. He's added a 2.73 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 57 contests. Sorokin is likely to start again Tuesday in Nashville.

Dobes led the Canadiens onto the ice for Sunday's warmups, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports, indicating that Dobes will draw the road start against Nashville.

Dobes hasn't appeared in any of the Canadiens' last five games, but he'll draw the start in the second half of a back-to-back set Sunday. Over five appearances since the start of March, he's gone 1-2-1 with a 3.69 GAA and .874 save percentage.

Korpisalo will defend the road net against Buffalo on Sunday, according to Heather Engel of NHL.com.

Korpisalo will receive the second half of Boston's back-to-back after Jeremy Swayman played in Saturday's 5-1 win over Carolina. The 30-year-old Korpisalo has lost his last three outings (0-2-1), permitting 11 goals on 87 shots. He has a 10-9-3 record with three shutouts, a 2.89 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 25 appearances this season. Buffalo is coming off a 3-2 shootout win over Tampa Bay on Saturday, and the Sabres rank ninth in the league with 3.24 goals per game in 2024-25.

Ullmark will patrol the home crease against Columbus on Sunday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Ullmark will get the second half of Ottawa's back-to-back after Anton Forsberg posted a 40-save shutout in a 3-0 win over Florida on Saturday. The 31-year-old Ullmark is coming off a 31-save performance in Thursday's 2-1 victory over Tampa Bay. He has a 22-14-3 record with three shutouts, a 2.75 GAA and a .908 save percentage across 41 appearances this season. Columbus sits 10th in the league with 3.19 goals per game in 2024-25 and lost 5-0 to Toronto on Saturday.
