Fleury turned aside 26 of 27 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

Although Filip Gustavsson (illness) was available as a backup Monday, Fleury drew a second consecutive start and turned things around after he allowed five goals on 37 shots (.865 save percentage) in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Predators. Fleury has now picked up wins in four of his last five outings and has seen more time between the pipes recently. The Wild will have a few days off before facing Utah at home Thursday.

Hill will serve as the starting netminder for Monday's home game against the Blues, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Hill has been inconsistent recently, going 2-3-0 with a 2.25 GAA and .900 save percentage over his last five starts as the Golden Knights have been in a bit of a slump. He's alternated starts with Ilya Samsonov recently, and Hill will tend the twine Monday after Samsonov drew the start in Saturday's loss to Chicago.

Korpisalo stopped 25 of 28 shots in a 6-3 win over San Jose on Monday.

Korpisalo was busy in the second period, facing 14 shots and allowing two goals. Boston scored four unanswered goals in the third period to earn the victory. Korpisalo has posted a record of 8-4-2 with a 2.87 GAA and an .892 save percentage in 15 appearances this season.

Binnington will start Monday's road game against the Golden Knights, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Binnington posted a shutout against the Senators on Jan. 3 but has struggled over four outings since then, going 1-3-0 with a 3.11 GAA and .897 save percentage. He'll face a tough test in Monday's road start, as the Golden Knights rank fourth in the league with 3.37 goals per game.

Askarov stopped 27 of 31 shots in a 6-3 loss to Boston on Monday. The Bruins' fifth and sixth goals of the game were empty-netters.

The Sharks had a 3-2 lead after two periods, but two goals by Charlie Coyle in the third frame put Boston in the driver's seat. Despite suffering from an illness, the 22-year-old Askarov was the backup behind Alexandar Georgiev in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders. Askarov has lost his last two outings to drop to 3-4-2 this season, but he still has a 2.58 GAA and a .912 save percentage.

Levi will serve as the starting goaltender for Monday's road matchup against the Kraken, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Levi was called up by the Sabres on Saturday, and he'll draw the start in the first half of a back-to-back set Monday. He's made eight appearances in the NHL this year, going 2-6-0 with a 3.97 GAA and .876 save percentage.

Rittich was the first goalie off at Monday's morning skate, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Penguins.

Rittich didn't appear in any of the Kings' last three games, but he'll tend the twine Monday as the team returns home following five consecutive road matchups. Over 21 appearances this year, Rittich has gone 11-9-0 with a 2.52 GAA and .887 save percentage.

Nedeljkovic was the first goalie off at Monday's morning skate, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against the Kings.

Nedeljkovic is in the mix to serve as the Penguins' No. 1 netminder after Tristan Jarry was recently sent down. Nedeljkovic was stellar in Friday's win over Buffalo, turning aside 40 of 42 shots (.952 save percentage. He'll attempt to remain effective against the Kings, who rank 16th in the NHL with 2.98 goals per game.

Daccord will patrol the home crease against Buffalo on Monday, according to Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle.

Daccord is coming off a 28-save performance in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kings. He has a 15-10-2 record with one shutout, a 2.43 GAA and a .916 save percentage across 29 appearances this season. Buffalo is tied for 14th in the league with 3.02 goals per game in 2024-25.

Blackwood will defend the home crease against the Wild on Monday.

Blackwood has been relatively effective since being traded to the Avalanche from the Sharks, but he'll be looking for a bounce-back performance Monday after he gave up four goals on 28 shots (.857 save percentage) in a loss to Edmonton on Thursday. Blackwood made a road start against the Wild on Jan. 9 and turned aside 24 of 25 shots (.960 save percentage) en route to a 6-1 win.
