Ullmark will start vs. Dallas on Sunday.

The Senators have won three straight when Ullmark has tended the twine, and he will return to the crease on Sunday against the Dallas Stars. The 32-year-old Ullmark was solid in his most recent outing, saving 32 of 35 shots (.914 SV%) in a 4-3 shootout win over the Vegas Golden Knights. Ullmark had a slow start to the 2025-26 season but has been much better over the past three weeks, posting a 2.20 GAA and .914 SV% in six games (4-1-1).

DeSmith will start vs. Ottawa on Sunday.

The Stars are 8-1-1 in their last 10, riding a three-game winning streak, and will turn to DeSmith on Sunday against an Ottawa Senators team they defeated 3-2 earlier this month. The 34-year-old DeSmith has been outstanding in limited action this season, posting a 2.20 GAA and .919 SV% in eight games (5-1-2). He has allowed three or fewer goals in his last seven games (5-0-2).

Cooley will start vs. Carolina on Sunday.

Devin Cooley only started once in Calgary’s first 11 games, but he has earned the trust of the coaching staff during a stretch of inconsistent play for Dustin Wolf, and returns to the crease for the fourth time in six games on Sunday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 28-year-old Cooley was excellent in his most recent game, saving 37 of 40 shots (.925 SV%) in a 5-3 win over the Florida Panthers. Cooley has a 2.01 GAA and .930 SV% in nine appearances this season (3-2-1).

Mrazek will start vs. Chicago on Sunday.

Mrazek will tend the twine on Sunday in a meeting with his former team, the Chicago Blackhawks. The 33-year-old Czech netminder allowed four goals on 27 shots (.852 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 5-4 loss to the Vancouver Canucks, and has allowed three or more goals in all but one start this season. He has an underwhelming 3.69 GAA and .881 SV% in six games (3-3-0).

Knight will start vs. Anaheim on Sunday.

The Blackhawks will be desperate to snap a season-worst five-game losing skid, turning to Knight between the pipes on Sunday against the Anaheim Ducks. The 24-year-old Knight has a 2.47 GAA and .920 SV% in 16 games this season (7-5-4). Knight is having a breakout 2025-26 season as one of the league’s most reliable netminders, but the Blackhawks will need him to be at his best against a Ducks team with one of the most potent offences in the league (3.71 GF/GP). Knight has a 2.47 GAA and .920 SV% in 16 games this season (7-5-4).
