Gustavsson will take over Minnesota's crease for the fourth time in six games after backing up for the Wilds' win on Saturday vs. Seattle. The 25-year-old has had a season to forget in 2023-24 after breaking out last year, with his current 16-13-3 record, 3.23 GAA and .896 SV%. He will face the Carolina Hurricanes at home on Tuesday, who have lost their last two games but are still a force offensively as they rank seventh in the NHL in shots per game (32.7).

Vasilevskiy took a seat after seven straight starts for Tampa Bay's previous game vs. New Jersey but will return to the crease on Tuesday in Pennsylvania. The 29-year-old is having the worst statistical season of his historic 10-year career, with his 20-14-0 record, 2.95 GAA and .897 SV%. He will look to improve on his season numbers Tuesday as he takes on Philadelphia, who have lost four of their last five contests and have the last placed powerplay in the NHL at 13.2%.

Brossoit is expected to take the crease Tuesday for the first time in three games after he was spotted in the starter's crease at the morning skate. The 30-year-old backup netminder has been sensational when called upon in his first season with Winnipeg, with his 8-4-2 record, 2.28 GAA and .920 SV%. He will host the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday, who are coming off an ugly 6-1 loss to Detroit on Saturday and have dropped four of their last five contests.

Lyon returns to Detroit's crease on Tuesday vs. Washington after backing up in the second half of a back-to-back on Sunday. The 31-year-old has been a godsend for the playoff-hungry Red Wings', who signed a one-year contract in the offseason and is 17-8-2 with a 2.68 GAA and .916 SV%. He will face the surprisingly hot Washington Capitals on Tuesday, who are coming off a 6-3 win over Ottawa on Monday and have won four of their last five games.

Despite Joseph Woll returning to practice this week, the Maple Leafs will continue to go with their duo of Martin Jones and Ilya Samsonov for at least one more game on Tuesday. The 27-year-old Samsonov will start his second-straight game and look to extend Toronto's current seven-game winning streak. He'll face the Vegas Golden Knights in Toronto on Tuesday, who are going in the opposite direction with loses in three straight and five of their last six games.

Bobrovsky will take back the Panthers' crease on Tuesday after handing it over to Anthony Stolarz for a win on Saturday. The 35-year-old Vezina winner will find himself back into trophy talks yet again this season due to his incredibly impressive 28-11-2 record, 2.36 GAA and .916 SV%. He will look to bring Florida their ninth win in 11 games as he takes on the surging Buffalo Sabres, who have won their last three games and four of their last five.

Ersson will return to the Flyers' crease on Thursday vs. Tampa Bay after giving Cal Petersen the start in an ugly 7-6 loss over the weekend. The 24-year-old 2nd-year netminder has done an admirable job holding down the Flyers' starting job after getting the role of starter unexpectedly and has a 16-11-4 record to show for it with a 2.56 GAA and .900 SV%. He will host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday, who have won their last two games and are seventh in the NHL in goals per game (3.40).

Ingram will attempt to snap the Coyotes' ugly 12-game losing streak as he takes the crease for a second-straight game on Tuesday in at the Bell Centre. The 26-year-old has taken over Arizona's crease in his third NHL season due to his stellar player and 17-13-3 record, 2.80 GAA and .911 SV%. He heads to Montreal to take on the Canadiens, who also find themselves in a bit of a slump having lost their last five-straight contests.
