Tomas Vokoun, Nashville Predators - Vokoun will be the starter for Monday's game against the Red Wings, reports the Nashville Tennessean.

Roman Cechmanek, Philadelphia Flyers - Cechmanek will be the starter for Monday's game against the Penguins.
Johan Hedberg, Pittsburgh Penguins - Hedberg will be the starter for Monday's game against the Flyers, reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Evgeni Nabokov, San Jose Sharks - Nabokov will be the starter for Monday's game against the Avalanche, reports the San Jose Mercury.
Steve Shields, Boston Bruins - Shields is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Lightning.
Martin Biron, Buffalo Sabres - Biron is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Stars.
Roman Turek, Calgary Flames - Turek is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Wild.
Patrick Roy, Colorado Avalanche - Roy is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Sharks.
Marty Turco, Dallas Stars - Turco is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Sabres.
Curtis Joseph, Detroit Red Wings - Joseph is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Predators.
Tommy Salo, Edmonton Oilers - Salo is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Blues. There's also a chance that Ty Conklin could start as Jussi Markkanen is injured so stay away from any Oilers goalie for tonight if possible.
Cristobal Huet, Los Angeles Kings - Huet is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Coyotes.
Manny Fernandez, Minnesota Wild - Fernandez is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Flames.
Jose Theodore, Montreal Canadiens - Theodore is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Hurricanes.

Chris Osgood, St. Louis Blues - Osgood is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Oilers.
John Grahame, Tampa Bay Lightning - Grahame is the probable starter for Monday's game against the Bruins.
Andrew Raycroft, Boston Bruins - Raycroft is still not totally recovered from a groin injury but hopes to begin practicing by the middle of this week. The Boston Herald reports that if Jeff Hackett is forced to miss time once the playoffs start, Raycroft would start the majority of games over veteran Steve Shields.
Wade Flaherty, Nashville Predators - Flaherty, the Preds' backup goalie by the way (we won't blame anyone for not knowing since Tomas Vokoun plays literally every minute in Nashville) suffered a groin injury and practice and is questionable for Monday's game against the Red Wings. If he can't go, the Preds could recall Jan Lasak, but like we said before, it doesn't matter because Vokoun isn't expected to sit anytime soon.
Jussi Markkanen, Edmonton Oilers - Markkanen was expected to start Sunday's game against the Blackhawks, but couldn't after suffering a groin injury earlier in the day. Tommy Salo, whom the Oilers want to rest for the playoffs, started and Ty Conklin has been recalled to take Markkanen's spot on the roster.

Andreas Johansson, Nashville Predators - Johansson will not play in Monday's game against the Red Wings after re-aggravating a back/hip injury over the weekend. The Nashville Tennessean reports that his season could potentially be over.
Vladimir Orszagh, Nashville Predators - Orszagh will not play in Monday's game against the Predators after suffering a shoulder injury as a result of being cross-checked by Atlanta's Chris Tamer. He is listed as day-to-day.
Oleg Petrov, Nashville Predators - Petrov missed yesterday's practice due to a strained hip flexor but will probably play on Monday against the Red Wings, reports the Nashville Tennessean.
Kenny Jonsson, New York Islanders - Jonsson played less than five minutes in Sunday's game against the Devils after being hit silly by Grant Marshall. The Islanders didn't want to take any chances with Jonsson since he has a history of concussions and he will be re-evaluated on Monday.
Mario Lemieux, Pittsburgh Penguins - Lemieux practiced for 35 minutes on Sunday and pronounced himself ready to return to the Penguins lineup for Monday's game against the Flyers.
Bill Muckalt, Minnesota Wild - Muckalt, who has missed much of the season with a severely separated shoulder, will accompany the Wild on their upcoming road trip and even if he doesn't play, will be ready to go when the playoffs start.
