Zamula will take a seat on Tuesday in order to make way for Dante Fabbro's return from a lower-body injury. Zamula has appeared in 23 games this season, logging zero goals and two assists.
Fabbro has not played in over two weeks, but will return to the lineup as soon as Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. The 27-year-old defenseman is averaging 16:07 time-on-ice and has seven points (3G / 4A) in 48 games this season.
The Devils will hand Markstrom his 29th start of the season when they host the Blue Jackets on Tuesday. Markstrom was excellent in his last start, stopping 27 of the 29 shots he faced in a 3-2 win over the Predators on Thursday. The 36-year-old brings a 15-12-1 record and an .881 SV% into Tuesday night's matchup, where the Devils enter action at -110 on the money line.
Bussi had a light night in his previous outing, saving 11 of 13 shots (.846 SV%), but continued his winning ways, defeating the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 in overtime. The 27-year-old first-year NHL goalie has won five straight games, posting a 1.80 GAA and .917 SV%. The Hurricanes enter the action on Tuesday as -169 home favourites against an Ottawa Senators team that extended its winning streak to four games last night with a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Linus Ullmark got the nod on Monday, so the Senators will hand Reimer the start against his former team on Tuesday. Reimer guided the Sens to a major upset in his last start, stopping 16 of the 18 shots he faced in a 5-2 win over the Avalanche last Wednesday. The 16-year-veteran has made five starts since joining the Senators in January, posting a 2-2-1 record and an .873 SV%. Ottawa enters action on Tuesday at +145 on the money line.
The consensus was that the Penguins were downgrading between the pipes when they traded Tristan Jarry to the Edmonton Oilers for Stuart Skinner, but Skinner has been terrific early in his tenure with his new team. The 27-year-old Skinner has wins in eight of his last nine games (8-1-0), posting a tremendous 2.02 GAA and .917 SV%. The Penguins enter the action on Tuesday with even -105 odds on the road against a New York Islanders team on a two-game losing streak (0-2-0).
Benson suffered an upper-body injury after an awkward collision into the board, exiting Monday's 5-3 win over the Florida Panthers after only 14:10 time-on-ice. The 20-year-old Benson scored a goal before his injury, giving him four points (2G / 2A) in his last six games.
Logan Thompson (upper body) is hopeful to return on Thursday, but with him and Charlie Lindgren (lower body) still sidelined, the Capitals will turn to Stevenson on consecutive nights. The 26-year-old Stevenson was terrific last night in his second start of the season, saving 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the New York Islanders. The Capitals enter Tuesday's contest as +121 road underdogs against a reeling Philadelphia Flyers team that has just two wins in their last 10 games (2-6-2).
Chytil has had trouble staying healthy over the past several seasons, so there is always extra concern whenever he exits a game, especially given his history with concussions. The 26-year-old Czech forward has three assists in 12 games this season.
With Bryan Rust returning from a three-game suspension, McGroarty will be the odd-man out of the lineup. The 21-year-old McGroarty is averaging 11:55 time-on-ice and has four points (2G / 2A) in 19 games this season.
Rust delivered an illegal check to the head of Vancouver's Bryan Rust in the final seconds of a 3-2 win last Sunday and was subsequently issued a three-game suspension, that he will return from on Tuesday against the New York Islanders. The 33-year-old Rust was struggling offensively before his suspension, with just three points (2G / 1A) in his last nine games.
Anderson suffered an upper-body injury early in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes and exited the game after only 2:50 time-on-ice. It's unclear whether he will be able to play in one of the team's final two games before the Olympic Break, but he is day-to-day, and his injury does not seem to pose a long-term threat.
Rondbjerg recently made his season debut with the Golden Knights, but suffered an undisclosed injury and will be sidelined until, at minimum, after the Olympic Break. The 26-year-old has one assist in four games this season.
Garland recorded two assists in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Utah Mammoth, but was absent from practice on Tuesday because of an illness. The 29-year-old's two-point performance snapped a frustrating and lengthy 13-game pointless streak.
Englund was recently called up to fill in for Nick Blankenburg (illness), but he will return to the AHL, where he has spent most of the season. The 30-year-old Englund is averaging 8:49 time-on-ice and has zero point in three games with the Predators this season.
The consensus was that the Penguins were downgrading between the pipes when they traded Tristan Jarry to the Edmonton Oilers for Stuart Skinner, but Skinner has been terrific early in his tenure with his new team. The 27-year-old Skinner has wins in eight of his last nine games (8-1-0), posting a tremendous 2.02 GAA and .917 SV%. The Penguins enter the action on Tuesday with even -105 odds on the road against a New York Islanders team on a two-game losing streak (0-2-0).
Laczynski has seen favorable deployment in a recent call-up to Vegas, including playing on the team's second powerplay unit. He has two assists in nine games with Vegas, but will return to Henderson (AHL), where he has 35 points (13G / 22A) in 32 games this season.
Coghlan played two games with the Golden Knights earlier this season, but has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL. The 27-year-old defenseman has 18 points (7G / 11A) in 30 games with Henderson (AHL).
Uchacz is an undrafted 22-year-old forward who has yet to play an NHL game. He has spent the last two seasons in the AHL and has 20 points (6G / 14A) through 39 games with Henderson (AHL) in 2025-26.
After a solid 20-goal season with Dallas in 2024-25, Dadonov's first season in New Jersey has been disappointing, and he will head to the press box as a healthy scratch on Tuesday. The 26-year-old forward has zero points through 16 games this season. Juho Lammikko will draw into the lineup as Dadonov's replacement.
