Stevenson was excellent for Washington in their final game of the season, saving 27 of 28 shots (.964 SV%) in a 2-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. That said, the 27-year-old goalie will return to the Hershey Bears (AHL) to assist them on their playoff run.

With Washington officially eliminated from the playoffs last night, the team will enter their final game of the season with Stevenson tending the twine.

It's unclear who Pittsburgh will rely on between the pipes to begin their first-round playoff matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers, but they will turn to Skinner on Tuesday in their final game of the regular season. The 27-year-old Skinner was solid in his most recent outing, saving 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%), but did not receive enough goal support in a 3-0 loss to the Washington Capitals. He has a 2.55 GAA and .902 SV% in his last four games (2-2-0).

Hellebuyck struggled in his previous outing, allowing five goals on 20 shots (.750 SV%) in a 7-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, severely crippling Winnipeg's slim playoff hopes. That said, they will need a win on Monday, along with some luck elsewhere in the league, to stay in the race. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck, the back-to-back reigning Vezina trophy winner, has had a largely disappointing 2025-26 season and hasn't been able to elevate his game at opportune times, including posting an ugly 2.81 GAA and .874 SV% in five games this month (3-2-0). The Jets enter Monday's contest as +150 road underdogs against the Vegas Golden Knights.

With Winnipeg out of the playoffs, they will be dressing some of their young talent on Monday vs. Vegas as Nikita Chibrikov draws back into the Jets' lineup. The 23-year-old forward last appeared in a Jets jersey on November 11th, 2025 and has yet to pick up a point in any of his eight appearances this season.

Iafallo has appeared in every game for Winnipeg this season but will miss his first game of the year on Monday with an undisclosed injury. The 32-year-old is one point from reaching the 30+ point plateau for the sixth time in his last seven seasons.

Namestnikov had just returned from an upper-body injury three games ago but will head back to the press box on Monday in Vegas with an undisclosed injury. The veteran forward has struggled to put up points from a bottom-six position this season, with his 14 points being his lowest career mark ever across his 13-year career.

Pionk has missed significant time due to injuries this season and will return to the sidelines on Monday due to an undisclosed ailment. The 30-year-old defenseman is averaging 22:43 time-on-ice and has 12 points (3G / 9A) in 51 games this season. Colin Miller is returning from a knee injury and will draw into the lineup as Pionk's replacement.
