Jordan Binnington will be the starting goaltender for the St. Louis Blues on Sunday against the Montreal Canadiens.

Leevi Merilainen, the Senators' backup goaltender, has recorded an .876 save percentage and a 3.36 GAA in seven appearances this season. The 23-year-old, with only 21 games of NHL experience, has lost his last three starts. He needs to demonstrate more consistency to challenge starter Linus Ullmark for playing time and help the Senators improve their goaltending to contend for a playoff spot.
Linus Ullmark, the Senators' starting goaltender, has posted an .877 save percentage and 3.00 GAA in 21 starts this season, though he's shown improvement with a .900+ SP in his last couple of games.

His performance, alongside backup Leevi Merilainen, is crucial for Ottawa to contend for a playoff spot and potentially home-ice advantage.

The Edmonton Oilers are reportedly interested in Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry, but Pittsburgh's unwillingness to retain salary on his $5.375 million contract (two additional seasons) is a major hurdle. Jarry, 30, boasts a .913 save percentage and 2.61 GAA in 12 appearances this season, an upgrade over Oilers' Stuart Skinner. However, Edmonton's limited cap space ($159,167) means acquiring Jarry without salary retention would necessitate moving roster players, a risk given his past inconsistencies.
Jake Oettinger is scheduled to start for the Dallas Stars against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday. A win would put him in the league lead for goaltender wins this season. The 26-year-old netminder has a 2.52 GAA and a .908 save percentage this season. He faces a Penguins team that, despite missing Evgeni Malkin, is still averaging 3.19 goals per game.
Scott Wedgewood is expected to dress for the Avalanche's Tuesday game against the Predators after a minor back tweak. He was pulled from a 3-1 win over the Canucks as a precaution.

Trent Miner has been reassigned to the AHL.
Jet Greaves will start in goal for the Columbus Blue Jackets against the Washington Capitals on Sunday. This is the second game of a back-to-back set, with Elvis Merzlikins having played Saturday.
