Philadelphia Flyers at Boston Bruins

PHI: Samuel Ersson (confirmed)

Ersson (2-2-1, 3.56 GAA, .872 SV) has received the majority of starts for the Flyers this season and he’s the only Philadelphia goalie to record a win through the first nine games.

BOS: Joonas Korpisalo (confirmed)

Korpisalo (1-1-0, 4.57 GAA, .850 SV) has allowed nine goals on 60 shots in two starts this season, but starting against a Flyers team averaging just 2.89 goals per game is a great opportunity to boost Korpisalo’s stats and his confidence.

Seattle Kraken at Montreal Canadiens

SEA: Philipp Grubauer (unconfirmed)

Grubauer (1-3-0, 3.10 GAA, .881 SV) has allowed at least three goals in three of four starts this season and he could be on the verge of losing his No. 1 spot to Joey Daccord.

MTL: Samuel Montembeault (confirmed)

Montembeault (3-3-0, 2.94 GAA, .914 SV) stopped 29 of 31 shots faced to beat St. Louis in his last start, but that followed an ugly three-game losing streak in which he posted an .829 SV while allowing at least three goals in each start.

St. Louis Blues at Ottawa Senators

STL: Joel Hofer (likely)

Hofer (3-0-0, 2.32 GAA, .932 SV) looks like the goalie of the future in St. Louis. He was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate and he should have plenty of confidence after stopping a combined 71 of 74 shots in his last two starts against the Islanders and Hurricanes.

OTT: Linus Ullmark (confirmed)

Ullmark (1-2-0, 3.35 GAA, .885 SV) has struggled since returning from a muscle-strain injury, allowing five goals on 27 shots against Vegas in his last start.

Anaheim Ducks at New York Islanders

ANA: Lukas Dostal (unconfirmed)

Dostal (3-2-1, 2.17 GAA, .936 SV) has started six of Anaheim’s first nine games and he looked great in his last start against the Rangers, turning aside 30 shots, albeit in a 2-1 loss.

NYI: Ilya Sorokin (confirmed)

Sorokin (2-1-1, 1.74 GAA, .937 SV), who has split time evenly this season with Semyon Varlamov, is having a stellar campaign, ranking second in goals-against average and fourth in save percentage.

Minnesota Wild at Pittsburgh Penguins

MIN: Marc-Andre Fleury (confirmed)

Fleury (1-0-1, 2.89 GAA, .900 SV) is set to retire at the end of the season, so he’s a no-brainer to start in his last visit to Pittsburgh.

PIT: Joel Blomqvist (confirmed)

Blomqvist (2-3-0, 3.34 GAA, .911 SV) has been able to produce a respectable save percentage despite Pittsburgh allowing an average of 4.20 goals per game, the second-worst mark in the NHL. He was the first goalie off at morning skate.

New York Rangers at Washington Capitals

NYR: Igor Shesterkin (confirmed)

Shesterkin (4-1-1, 2.16 GAA, .926 SV) has been lights out this season since reportedly turning down a contract offer that would have made him the highest paid goalie in NHL history.

WSH: Logan Thompson (confirmed)

Thompson (3-0-0, 3.28 GAA, .884 SV) hasn’t put up staggering numbers, but he’s done enough to win all three of his starts. Washington’s offence has helped as they’ve scored at least four goals in each of Thompson’s appearances.

Los Angeles Kings at San Jose Sharks

LAK: Darcy Kuemper (unconfirmed)

Kuemper (2-0-2, 3.20 GAA, .897 SV) had his numbers inflated a bit after allowing eight goals on 41 shots in a bizarre 8-7 loss against Ottawa, but he looked solid in his return from injury on Saturday while making 23 saves in a 3-2 win against Utah.

SJS: Vitek Vanecek (unconfirmed)

This is the second game of a back-to-back for San Jose, so Vanecek (0-4-0, 4.00 GAA, .869 SV) should get the start. Vanecek was tagged for seven goals on 42 shots against Vegas in a 7-3 loss on Saturday.
