Sorokin posted a 26-save shutout in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

Sorokin made 26 saves for his league-leading seventh shutout of the season, and the 30-year-old was at his best in a game where the Islanders needed him -- the Blue Jackets were on a 12-game point streak before this loss. Perhaps more importantly, Sorokin bounced back from Saturday's loss to the Canadiens, where he allowed six goals on 32 shots faced. Sorokin has conceded three or fewer goals in six of his last seven starts, going 4-3-0 with a 2.46 GAA and a .912 save percentage over that stretch.

Greaves stopped 21 of 22 shots in Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Islanders.

Greaves was excellent throughout the game, but he couldn't stop Bo Horvat's snap shot at the 1:25 mark of the first period, and that would end up being the difference-maker in this game. The loss snapped Greaves' three-game winning streak, but the 24-year-old has been excellent of late either way. He has allowed just one goal in three of his last four games, posting a .937 save percentage over that span. Since the league resumed following the Olympic break Feb. 25, Greaves has gone 5-1-2 with a 2.39 GAA and a .907 save percentage across eight outings.

Chinakhov scored a goal in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

Chinakhov found the back of the net at the 14:56 mark of the third period with a snap shot, but that goal didn't provide enough of a spark to mount a late comeback. The 25-year-old winger has now scored in back-to-back games, something he hadn't accomplished since Feb. 2-3. Chinakhov is up to 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in 14 appearances since the Olympic break, making him one of the most productive players on the Penguins' roster over that stretch.

Rempe (thumb) probably won't be ready to return before the end of the 2025-26 regular season, according to Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic on Monday.

Rempe remains on injured reserve and will miss his 14th straight game against Ottawa on Monday. Head coach Mike Sullivan admitted that he would be "surprised" if Rempe played again this season. The 23-year-old Rempe appears poised to finish the 2025-26 campaign with one goal, 15 shots on net, 86 hits and 11 PIM in 26 appearances.

Skinner allowed four goals on 25 shots faced in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Hurricanes. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Skinner has been slumping badly in recent weeks. He has dropped seven of his last eight starts since the beginning of February while operating in a timeshare with Arturs Silovs, and he's allowed at least four goals in three of his last four during that stretch. With a 3.53 GAA and an .876 save percentage over that eight-game stretch, it's hard to justify Skinner remaining as the No. 1 option between the pipes for the Penguins. Don't be afraid to look at other options to strengthen your goaltending depth ahead of the fantasy playoffs as well, as Skinner is simply not producing enough to remain in a starting role in most formats outside of the very deep leagues.

Quick (upper body) has been ruled out for Monday's home game against the Senators, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.

Quick is considered day-to-day after exiting Saturday's practice early due to an upper-body injury, and he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive game while he recovers. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but his next chance to do so will be Wednesday in Toronto. Igor Shesterkin will start at home against the Senators on Monday, while Dylan Garand will serve as the backup.

Aho scored a power-play goal, took three shots and added a hit in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

Aho opened the scoring for the Hurricanes just 47 seconds into the game with a wrister, giving him 25 goals on the season. Even though he didn't contribute to other goals in this blowout win, the 28-year-old center did enough to extend his current point streak to three games. He's found ways to produce in previous games as well. Over Aho's last 10 outings, the Hurricanes have gone 7-3-0, and the star playmaker has made his presence felt with 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) despite a minus-2 rating over that stretch.

Shesterkin will patrol the home crease against Ottawa on Monday, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.

Shesterkin will get the second half of the Rangers' back-to-back after Dylan Garand played in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to Winnipeg. The 30-year-old Shesterkin has lost his last two outings while allowing eight goals on 61 shots. However, he has a 22-14-6 record this campaign with a 2.56 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 43 appearances. Ottawa ranks ninth in the league with 3.35 goals per game this season.

Hildeby was recalled from AHL Toronto on an emergency basis Monday.

Hildeby has made 19 appearances for the Maple Leafs this season, going 5-6-4 with a 2.90 GAA and .910 save percentage. He'll provide additional depth in the net after Anthony Stolarz was struck in the throat by a puck during pregame warmups ahead of Saturday's matchup against Ottawa.

Ehlers scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

Ehlers snapped his seven-game goal drought with a power-play tally in this win, giving the Hurricanes a 2-0 lead early in the second period with a slap shot. He's found ways to remain productive even if he's not scoring much, though. Ehlers has cracked the scoresheet in eight of his 11 appearances this month, producing 14 points (six goals, eight assists), a plus-4 rating and a sky-high -- and unsustainable -- 21.4 shooting percentage in that span.
