Seeler exited Monday's 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues in the third period after playing 16:57. Any significance to his injury could be a tough blow for the Flyers as he has been an integral part of their defensive core and has also been a name actively circulating through trade rumours.

Mayfield has not played since February 22nd after suffering a lower-body injury and has been retroactively placed on LTIR. Before his injury, the 31-year-old defender amassed five points (0G / 5A), 66 hits, and 106 blocks in 41 games.

Jarry will likely return to the crease on Tuesday for a Penguins club that has been outscored 12-4 during a three-game losing skid. Jarry allowed four goals on 20 shots (.800 SV%) in his last outing, a 4-3 regulation loss to the Calgary Flames, including a late tally in the final minute to seal the Penguins' fate. That said, the Penguins have a favourable matchup on Tuesday and are -243 home favourites against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Simon Nemec will likely be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Smith to draw back into the lineup. Smith did not play for the Devils last night but has been quietly productive from the blueline lately, scoring four points (2G / 2A) in his last six contests.

Nico Daws has allowed eight goals on his last 27 shots (.704 SV%), prompting the Devils and their new coaching staff to turn to Schmid between the pipes on Tuesday. Schmid entered the crease in relief in each of the last two games and saved all 18 shots he faced. That said, with Schmid struggling as a whole on the season, the Devils enter action as +109 home underdogs against a red-hot Florida Panthers club riding a five-game winning streak, including a 4-2 victory over the New York Rangers last night.

Zack MacEwen exited Saturday's game with a lower-body injury, resulting in Chartier being recalled from the Belleville Senators of the AHL. Chartier has appeared in 34 games for Ottawa this season but has most recently played with Belleville, where he has 10 points (7G / 3A) in 12 games.

Dunn was on the receiving end of a vicious hit by Martin Pospisil of the Calgary Flames in the third period and exited the contest after playing 19:02 time-on-ice. The 27-year-old Dunn is enjoying another productive season with Seattle and has six points (3G / 3A) in his last seven games. His status for Tuesday's game against the Winnipeg Jets is up in the air.

Belzile has enjoyed a productive season with Hartford (AHL), scoring 37 points (14G / 23A) in 43 games, earning himself a call-up. The undrafted 32-year-old has played 44 career NHL games, including 31 games last season with the Montreal Canadiens.

Comtois has been playing with the Chicago Wolves (AHL), where he has 12 goals and 16 assists (28 points) in 45 games. His play earned him a contract with the Hurricanes through the rest of the 2023-24 season. HE last played with the Ducks in 2022-23, posting 19 points (9G / 10A) in 64 games.

Oesterle will make his first appearance since January 25th as Dennis Gilbert draws out of the lineup. Oesterle has no goals and two assists in 21 games this season.

Gilbert will take a seat on Monday as Jordan Oesterle draws into the Flames' lineup for the first time since January 25th. Gilbert has one goal and six assists in 32 games this season.

Grubauer has taken the reigns of the Seattle crease due to strong play recently and will start for the fifth time in the last six games. Since returning from a two-month absence due to injury, Grubauer has showcased his best netminding in his Seattle tenure, boasting a .942 SV% while allowing three or fewer goals in six appearances (4-1-0). That said, Seattle is a +116 road underdog against a Calgary Flames club riding a five-game winning streak.

Mrazek will return to the crease for the Blackhawks on Monday in a rematch against the Colorado Avalanche. Last week, Mrazek allowed five goals on 33 shots (.848 SV%) in a 5-0 loss to Colorado. Mrazek has allowed three or more goals in four straight (0-3-1), with the Blackhawks being outscored 17-7. Chicago enters action as a significant +338 road underdog.

Caleb Jones will enter the Avalanche lineup on Monday, replacing Manson, who is out due to a lower-body injury. Manson has gone without a point in 12 straight games but has tallied a whopping 31 hits over that time.

Lycksell will be back in the Flyers' lineup on Monday after sitting out Saturday's game against the Senators. Nicolas Deslauriers will sit in his place.

Deslauriers will be the odd-man out on Monday as Olle Lycksell is set to draw into the lineup in his place. Deslauriers is yet to score a goal in 54 games this season.

The Blues will turn to Binnington again on Monday night for his third straight start. Binnington was terrific in his last outing, saving 21 of 22 shots (.955 SV%) in a 3-1 win over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. The 30-year-old Binnington has been tremendous since mid-January, posting a .924 SV% through 12 contests (7-4-1). The Blues are +122 road underdogs on Monday night against the Philadelphia Flyers.
