Anderson-Dolan was a surprise addition for Tuesday's game, as he'll draw into the lineup in place of Arthur Kaliyev, who is listed as a scratch. Anderson-Dolan has no goals and two assists in nine games this season.
Kaliyev's absence for Tuesday's game is a surprise, and it's unclear at this time whether this is simply a healthy scratch or if it's due to an undisclosed injury. He has six goals and eight assists in 30 games this season. Jaret Anderson-Dolan will enter the lineup in his place.
Beauvillier left the game in the second period after taking an awkward hit along the boards and will be out for at least the remainder of Tuesday''s game. We should expect to receive an update on Beauvillier's injury and a possible timeline for his return following the completion of Tuesday's game.
Talbot will start for the fifth time in the last six games for the Kings when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday. The 36-year-old Talbot has lost three of his last four outings (1-2-1), his worst run of the season, but was terrific on Saturday, saving 24 of 26 shots (.917 SV%) in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Edmonton Oilers. The Kings are -127 home favourites against a Maple Leafs team that has lost five of their last six games (1-4-1)
With Ilya Samsonov being placed on waivers and subsequently being reassigned to the Toronto Marlies over the weekend, Jones has solidified himself as the starting goalie for the Maple Leafs for the time being. The Maple Leafs recalled Dennis Hildeby, who will likely start on the back end of a back-to-back against the Anaheim Ducks tomorrow. Jones will appear between the pipes for the Leafs for the seventh time in the last eight games, posting a 2-3-0 record over the stretch and a serviceable .919 SV%. The Maple Leafs, losers of three straight, are +115 road underdogs against the Los Angeles Kings.

That said, the Sharks are +161 home underdogs on Tuesday against the Red Wings, who have lost three of their last four games (1-3-0).
Varlamov left the game late in the first period due to an undisclosed injury with the score being 1-1. He was replaced by Ilya Sorokin. We should expect to receive an update on Varlamov's injury and a possible timeline for his return following the completion of Tuesday's game.
Aman appears to be the odd-man out on Tuesday as Nils Hoglander (undisclosed) is seemingly fit to play after all. Aman has two goals and two assists in 14 games this season.
Hoglander has only one point (1G / 0A) in his last seven games and was a game-time decision on Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators as he deals with an undisclosed injury. He'll skate alongside Pius Suter and Sam Lafferty on Vancouver's fourth line.
Staal will make his first appearance since December 21st as the Flyers opt to dress seven defensemen against the Oilers. He has no goals and one assist in 14 games this season.

Sheary will draw back into the Lightning lineup on Tuesday after a hand injury forced him to miss Sunday's game against the Canadiens.

Foligno has not missed a game yet this season but has been battling an ongoing injury and will sit out Tuesday's game against the Calgary Flames. In 35 games, Foligno has 15 points (6G / 9A), playing predominantly with Pat Maroon and Frederick Gaudreau.
Vasilevskiy had the night off on New Year's Eve but will return to the crease for the Lightning for his 10th start in their last 11 games. Vasilevskiy has allowed eight goals on 52 shots (.846 SV%) in his last two games (2-0-0) but was tremendous in his previous nine (7-2-0), posting a stellar .925 SV%. Tampa Bay is a +122 road underdog against the Winnipeg Jets, who have points in eight straight games (6-0-2).
Despite a 3-2 win in their last outing courtesy of Yaroslav Askarov between the pipes, the Predators will turn back to Saros, who has lost three straight outings. Saros has allowed 13 goals over his last three games (0-3-0), posting a .829 SV% after an eight-game stretch (7-1-0) where he was nearly unbeatable, posting a stellar .936 SV%.
