Bobrovsky was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Sabres.

Bobrovsky has alternated starts with Daniil Tarasov over the past few weeks, but the former will draw a second consecutive start Monday for the first time since mid-January. Bobrovsky is in the midst of a cold spell in which he's gone 1-4-0 with a 4.00 GAA and .839 save percentage over his last five outings.

Stone recorded two assists in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks.

Stone has cooled off following a 12-goal, 11-assist binge over 14 games from Dec. 29 to Jan. 23. He's earned just five helpers and seven shots over his last five outings. Even with the dip in production, Stone has an excellent 20 goals, 35 helpers, 88 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 39 appearances. Staying healthy will be the big challenge, but if he can, he could push to top the career-best 73 points he produced between Vegas and Ottawa in 77 regular-season games in 2018-19.

Barbashev scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks.

Barbashev cut the deficit to 3-2 in the middle of the third period. The 30-year-old winger has scored in three straight games and looks to have his groove back after a month-long goal drought that briefly saw him bumped to the third line. He's at 15 goals, 38 points, 84 shots on net, 88 hits and a plus-10 rating across 55 appearances as a top-six regular for the Golden Knights.

Hertl scored a goal, added two PIM and logged two hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks.

Hertl had picked up three assists during a five-game goal drought. He gave the Golden Knights a chance after cutting the deficit to one goal at 19:54 of the third period, but there wasn't enough time for an equalizer. Hertl continues to provide steady offense from a middle-six role. He's now at 22 goals, 48 points, 145 shots on net, 74 hits, 35 PIM, 27 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 55 appearances.

Marner scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks.

Marner has scored in three straight games, picking up three goals and an assist in that span. The 28-year-old playmaker is showing that he can be dangerous with his shot as well, though his recent efforts haven't prevented the Golden Knights from losing five straight contests. Marner is up to 15 goals, 56 points, 112 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 55 appearances in a top-six role.

Hill stopped 19 of 22 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

The Golden Knights ran out of time after Tomas Hertl brought the deficit back to one late in the third period. Hill took his third straight loss (0-2-1), and he's allowed 14 goals on 81 shots in that span. For the season, the 29-year-old goalie is 3-3-3 with a 3.51 GAA and an .856 save percentage over 11 contests. Both Hill and Akira Schmid are likely to get one more start prior to the Olympic break, as the Golden Knights host the Canucks on Wednesday and the Kings on Thursday in a back-to-back set.

Trouba recorded two assists, three shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Trouba earned his first multi-point effort since Nov. 8, which was also against Vegas. The defenseman has six points over 10 contests since he welcomed his second son into the world. This has been Trouba's most productive campaign in three years -- he's at eight goals, 16 helpers, 109 shots on net, 100 hits, 108 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 54 appearances. He has a good chance of getting to the 30-point mark for the first time since 2022-23.

Terry logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Terry returned from an 11-game absence due to an upper-body injury and played 13:55 in this contest. The 28-year-old winger was on the second line with Chris Kreider and Ryan Poehling, which was the Ducks' best trio in this win. Terry is up to 44 points (13 goals, 31 assists) with 104 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 44 appearances. As long as he's in a top-six role and on the power play, he's a quality fantasy option for points and shots.

Gauthier scored a power-play goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Gauthier has four goals and four assists over his last seven games. The 22-year-old winger stretched the Ducks' lead to 3-0 in the second period Sunday, but the Golden Knights made a decent attempt at a comeback. Gauthier has been a breakout player in 2025-26 with 24 goals, 48 points (12 on the power play), 205 shots on net, 44 hits and a plus-1 rating through 54 appearances. He's currently skating on the third line, but his place on the first power-play unit is secure.

Poehling scored an empty-net goal, added an assist and went plus-3 in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Poehling set up Chris Kreider's goal in the first period and then deposited an empty-netter in the third. The latter ended up being a critical insurance goal, as Tomas Hertl brought Vegas back within one in the final minute of the game. Poehling has done well in a larger role lately, earning two goals and four assists over his last seven appearances. For the season, the 27-year-old center is at six goals, 23 points, a plus-10 rating, 51 shots on net and 57 blocked shots through 49 outings.
