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.

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%.

Despite dropping his past two outings, Skinner has played respectably, allowing only five goals while posting a .900 SV%.

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).

Sorokin has played exceptionally in his last two outings, allowing four total goals and boasting a .929 SV%.

Forsberg has not played since January 11th due to a groin injury but will likely 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).
Romanov played only 13:34 time on ice on Thursday and returned to the ice on Monday for the morning skate after not playing on Saturday. Romanov has three points (1G / 2A), 11 shots, and eight hits in 51 games and will be a game-time decision to return on Tuesday.
