Zub has played every game for the Senators since January 11th and has been quietly productive from the blueline in that span, scoring seven points (0G / 7A) in his last 11 games. He has spent most of his time lately on the top defensive pair alongside Thomas Chabot.

Kampf has not played since the All-Star break but will return to the Maple Leafs' lineup on Tuesday night. The bottom-six forward has one assist in his last 10 games played and is having a down season by his standards with just four goals, eight points, and a -9 plus/minus in 46 games before his injury.

Giordano did not play on Saturday and has missed three of the last six games for the Maple Leafs with various injuries. The 40-year-old Giordano has zero points in his last 12 games while registering 15 shots and seven hits.

Olofsson has not played since January 20th, missing five games, but will re-enter the lineup on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Kings. After posting a career-high 28 goals in 75 games last season, Olofsson has struggled offensively, tallying only 12 points (4G / 8A) through 33 games.

Jacob Bryson will draw back into the lineup in favour of Robinson on Tuesday night. Robinson has seven points (2G / 5A), 36 shots, and 49 hits through 25 games this season.

Bryson has been out of the lineup for the last two games but will return to the ice on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Kings. Bryson has two shots, nine hits, and a -4 plus/minus through five games this season.

Martin Jones is dealing with an undisclosed injury and will not dress on Tuesday, prompting the Leafs to recall Hildeby from the Marlies (AHL). Hildeby has an impressive 2.35 GAA and .913 SV% in 24 games (12-7-4) with the Marlies.

Forsberg has not played since January 11th due to a groin injury but will return to the crease on Tuesday evening. The Senators are riding a three-game winning streak courtesy of Joonas Korpisalo and will attempt to extend that in a favourable matchup as -179 home favourites against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Forsberg has a 3.55 GAA and .889 SV% through 16 games this season (7-8-0).

Timmins will be out of the lineup indefinitely as he tends to his illness. Timmins has frequently been out of the lineup lately, last playing on January 24th. He has six points (1G / 5A) in 16 games this season.

Dennis Hildeby will serve as the backup to Ilya Samsonov on Tuesday as Jones tends to an undisclosed injury. Jones allowed four goals on 31 shots (.871 SV%) in a 5-3 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday, his first appearance in three weeks.

Guhle suffered an undisclosed injury in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues but seems no worse for wear, and will remain in the lineup on Tuesday. Guhle has 12 points (4G / 8A), 76 hits, and 134 blocks in 48 games this season.

Arber Xhekaj will draw into the Canadiens' lineup on Tuesday, replacing Harris, who suffered an upper-body injury in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues. Harris was limited to only 1:34 time-on-ice before exiting Sunday's contest.

Jordan Harris will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Xhekaj to re-enter the lineup. Xhekaj played 13:53 time-on-ice in his last outing, recording a -2 plus/minus, two shots, and two hits.

Montreal has been outscored 10-4 over their last two games (0-2-0) and will attempt to change their fortunes with Primeau between the pipes on Tuesday night. Primeau is winless in his last four outings and allowed five goals on 36 shots (.861 SV%) in his last start nearly four weeks ago. That said, the Canadiens draw a favourable matchup on Tuesday and are -117 home favourites against the Anaheim Ducks and their third-worst ranked offence (2.57 GF / GP).

Saros will start for the fourth straight game on Tuesday and attempt to regain form after performing below his standards lately. In his last three games (1-1-1), Saros has allowed three or more goals in each contest, posting an ugly .876 SV%. The Predators enter Tuesday's contest as -130 home favourites against a New Jersey Devils squad that played last night and snapped a two-game losing skid with a 3-1 win over the Seattle Kraken.

After a franchise-best 16-game winning streak, the Oilers have lost two of their last three contests, both with Skinner between the pipes. Skinner will look to get back into the win column on Tuesday night as the Oilers are -220 home favourites against the Detroit Red Wings, who have points in four straight (3-0-1). Despite dropping his past two outings, Skinner has played respectably, allowing only five goals while posting a .900 SV%.

Lindgren snapped a four-game losing streak over the weekend and will likely return to the crease on Tuesday night. The 30-year-old Lindgren was sensational on Saturday, saving all 18 shots he faced in a 3-0 win over the Boston Bruins, giving him a career-high three shutouts this season. That said, the Capitals are +155 home underdogs on Tuesday, matching up poorly against the second-best offensive team in the league, the Colorado Avalanche (3.66 GF / GP).

Montreal has been outscored 10-4 over their last two games (0-2-0) and will attempt to change their fortunes with Primeau between the pipes on Tuesday night. Primeau is winless in his last four outings and allowed five goals on 36 shots (.861 SV%) in his last start nearly four weeks ago. That said, the Canadiens draw a favourable matchup on Tuesday and are -117 home favourites against the Anaheim Ducks and their third-worst ranked offence (2.57 GF / GP).
