David Aebischer, Colorado Avalanche - Aebischer will be the starter for Sunday's game against the Capitals, reports the Denver Post.
Sebastien Caron, Pittsburgh Penguins - Caron will be the starter for Sunday's game against the Panthers, reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Olaf Kolzig, Washington Capitals - Kolzig will be the starter for Sunday's game against the Avalanche, reports the Washington Post.
Patrick Lalime, Ottawa Senators - Lalime will be the starter for Sunday's game against the Red Wings.
Jean-Sebastien Giguere, Anaheim Mighty Ducks - Giguere is the probable starter for Sunday's game against the Flames.
Jamie McLennan, Calgary Flames - McLennan is the probable starter for Sunday's game against the Mighty Ducks.
Curtis Joseph, Detroit Red Wings - Joseph is the probable starter for Sunday's game against the Senators.
Jani Hurme, Florida Panthers - Hurme is the probable starter for Sunday's game against the Penguins.
Kevin Weekes, Carolina Hurricanes - Weekes stopped 23 shots to record his third shutout in his past four games on Saturday. Ironically enough, this incredible stretch has come during a time when Weekes can't even play properly as a painful right hand is so painful that he can't even grip his stick. Weekes is slated to get surgery "sooner rather than later" which would end his season. The Raleigh News-Observer reports that Weekes probably has one start left on Tuesday against the Senators.
Martin Prusek, Ottawa Senators - Prusek left Saturday's game against the Islanders in the first period with a possible concussion. He will be re-evaluated on Sunday before the game against the

Peter Forsberg, Colorado Avalanche - Forsberg was injured during Saturday's loss to the Red Wings, leaving in the second period with an apparent charley horse. He is doubtful to play Sunday against the Capitals, but doesn't believe his injury is too serious or will cause him to miss too much time. If you play in a weekly league, definitely consider reserving Forsberg for the upcoming week as the Avs only play two games anyway.
Steve Yzerman, Detroit Red Wings - Coach Dave Lewis stated that he was not sure if Yzerman would play on Sunday against the Senators. The Wings don't want their captain playing in back-to-back games just yet, but Yzerman grew up in Ottawa and may want to play against his hometown team.
Bryan Berard, Boston Bruins - Berard was a healthy scratch for the second straight game, reports the Boston Herald. As we noted yesterday, it is because coach Robbie Ftorek is displeased with the defenseman's performance in his own end. Ftorek did say that Berard would return to the lineup soon, but he refused to specify exactly when.
Doug Gilmour, Toronto Maple Leafs - Gilmour is suffering from what is believed to be a strained ACL and will now only miss 4-6 weeks instead of the originally feared 4-6 months. He is done for the regular season though but has full intentions of returning for the first round of the playoffs.
Jaromir Jagr, Washington Capitals - Jagr practiced on Saturday as he recovers from a broken bone in his wrist but will not play in Sunday's game against the Avalanche. In fact, he isn't even able to take shots yet and the earliest he will
