After playing four straight for the Canadiens, Kovacevic has been a healthy scratch in the last three. He recorded one assist, a +4 plus/minus, and four hits in his last four outings.
Fabbro played only 3:28 time-on-ice before exiting Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild with an upper-body injury and is expected to miss two to three weeks. In 53 games this season, Fabbro has 12 points (2G / 10A), 59 shots, 43 hits, and 83 blocks.
Stastney spent an early portion of the season with the Predators but has spent most of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL. In 44 games with the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL), Stastney has 20 points (5G / 15A).
Gaunce has not been in the Blue Jackets lineup since January 13th but was recalled on an emergency basis on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Gaunce has spent most of the season with the Cleveland Monsters of the AHL, scoring 39 points (19G / 20A) in 46 games.
Ersson has been inconsistent lately but will return to the crease for the fourth straight game on Tuesday. In his last seven games (3-3-1), Ersson has allowed two or fewer goals five times but also allowed four or more twice. He had a forgettable performance in his last games, allowing four goals in 15 shots (.733 SV%) in an eventual 7-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. That said, the Flyers have a favourable matchup as -320 home favourites against the San Jose Sharks.
Luukkonen has started 11 of the 12 games for the Sabres and will likely return to the crease again on Tuesday night. The 25-year-old Luukkonen has been tremendous this season, a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season for the Sabres. In his last outing, Luukkonen saved 30 of 32 shots (.938 SV%) in a 3-2 win against the high-powered offence of the Edmonton Oilers. The Sabres enter action on Tuesday as -125 home favourites against the Detroit Red Wings, losers of five in a row.
Kochetkov did not play the last games for the Hurricanes but will likely return to the crease on Tuesday night. The 24-year-old netminder has allowed two or fewer goals in five of his last six games (4-2-0), including saving 23 of 25 shots (.920 SV%) in his last outing, a 4-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils. The Hurricanes enter action as -159 home favourites against a New York Rangers club that defeated the New Jersey Devils 3-1 last night.
The Senators, amid a seven-game losing skid, will likely turn to Korpisalo for the third straight time on Tuesday. Korpisalo allowed two goals on 21 shots (.905 SV%) in his last outing, a disappointing 2-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks. The Senators enter action as slight -100 home underdogs against a Pittsburgh Penguins club that has been miserable lately, being outscored 15-1 in their last three games (0-3-0).
Zamula did not play on Saturday due to an illness but should return to the lineup on Tuesday against the San Jose Sharks. The 23-year-old defender has 17 points (5G / 12A), 25 hits, and 60 blocks in 52 games.
Ostapchuk was the 39th overall pick of the Senators in the 2021 NHL Draft. The 20-year-old Ostapchuk is in his first professional season and has tallied 22 points (13G / 9A) in 56 with the Belleville Senators (AHL). He is expected to make his debut on Tuesday vs. Pittsburgh.
Bobrovsky will look to get back in the win column on Tuesday after his three-game win streak was snapped in a 2-1 loss to Philly his last time out. The 35-year-old should be in Vezina consideration at season-end as he's third in the NHL in Wins (31), second in GAA (2.29), and fifth in SV% (.918). He heads to Dallas Tuesday to take on the Stars, who are looking to extend a five-game win streak and are 2nd in the NHL in goals per game (3.62).
Anderson has been sidelined since February 22nd but will return to his usual spot on the Kings' top pair on Monday night. Arthur Kaliyev will sit as the Kings are opting to dress seven defensemen.
Kaliyev will be the odd-man out on Monday as the Kings opt to dress seven defensemen. Mikey Anderson (upper-body) will return to the Kings' lineup in place of Kaliyev.
Martin will be the odd-man out on Monday with Hudson Fasching drawing into the lineup in his place. Martin has two goals and three assists in 41 games this season.
Having recently been activated off injured reserve, Fasching will draw into the Islanders' lineup for the first time since January 25th. Matt Martin will sit in his place.
Siegenthaler suffered the injury in the second period when he was struck by an elbow from the Rangers' Matt Rempe. Rempe was assessed a five minute major for elbowing and a game misconduct on the play. The Devils are yet to provide an update on the injury to Siegenthaler.
Hellebuyck had a forgettable performance in his last outing, allowing five goals on 37 shots (.865 SV%), but will return to the crease on Monday. The Vezina front-runner has struggled lately, allowing three or more goals in five straight games (2-3-0) while posting a subpar .890 SV%. The Jets enter action as sizeable -202 home favourites against the Washington Capitals.
Oshie has not played since February 22nd, missing seven games with an upper-body injury, but is ready to return after being activated from IR earlier today. Before his injury, Oshie was on a roll, tallying six points (2G / 4A) in his last six games. The Capitals return to action on Monday night against the Winnipeg Jets.
Lindgren will in fact make his sixth-consecutive start on Monday despite missing the morning skate due to maintenance. He turned in a terrific performance against the Blackhawks on Saturday, allowing just one goal on 32 shots enroute to a 4-1 victory. Lindgren owns a 15-10-5 record on the season to go along with a more than respectable .912 SV%. He draws a tough assignment on Monday as the Capitals find themselves as +170 underdogs in Winnipeg.
Wilson will be forced to miss Monday's game in Winnipeg after scoring in each of the last two games. T.J. Oshie (upper-body) will likely take his place in the lineup.
