With Vitek Vanecek sidelined due to injury, the Sharks recalled Yaroslav Askarov, but he will serve as the backup to Blackwood on Monday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 27-year-old Blackwood has been solid between the pipes for the Sharks this season, posting a 2.98 GAA and .914 SV% through 11 games (3-5-3). The Sharks enter the action as +125 home underdogs against a Red Wings club outscored 10-5 in their previous two contests (0-2-0).
The Wings will turn to Talbot for the 11th time this season when they travel to San Jose to take on the Sharks on Monday. Talbot was unfortunate to get tagged with the loss his last time out, allowing just three goals on 40 shots as Detroit suffered a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Kings on Saturday. The 37-year-old netminder has been outstanding this season, posting a .927 SV% and a 5-3-1 record across ten appearances. Talbot's got a great chance of getting back in the win column on Monday as the Red Wings enter action as -150 favourites over the Sharks.
The Ducks will turn back to Dostal on Monday after John Gibson got the nod against the Red Wings on Friday. Dostal was unfortunate to come away with the loss his last time out, allowing just three goals on 39 shots in a narrow 3-2 defeat against the Golden Knights. The 24-year-old netminder owns a disappointing 4-6-2 record despite an impressive .922 SV% on the season. He will need to be at his best on Monday as the Ducks enter action as massive +350 underdogs in Dallas.
Wotherspoon will be the odd-man out on Monday as the Bruins are opting to go back to dressing just six defencemen. Tyler Johnson will draw into the lineup after missing the last two games due to personal reasons.
