Koppanen will draw in for Jansen Harkins (undisclosed). Koppanen is yet to register a point in three games with the Penguins this season.

Harkins played 7:07 time-on-ice in Sunday's crushing 6-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers but was a game-time decision after being evaluated on Monday. The 26-year-old Harkins has four points (0G / 4A) in 42 games this season and was unsuccessful on a penalty shot attempt in the loss.

Dunn was on the receiving end of a vicious hit by Martin Pospisil of the Calgary Flames in the third period of Monday's game and exited the contest after playing 19:02 time-on-ice. The 27-year-old Dunn is enjoying another productive season with Seattle and has six points (3G / 3A) in his last seven games. His status for Tuesday's game against the Winnipeg Jets is up in the air.

The Blackhawks will turn to Soderblom on Tuesday after Petr Mrazek got the nod for Monday's game in Colorado. Soderblom was saddled with yet another loss his last time out, surrendering four goals on 30 shots enroute to a 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Blue Jackets. Soderblom has not won since November 24th, and owns a comically poor 2-18-1 record on the season. He finds himself in familiar territory on Tuesday as the Blackhawks are +225 underdogs in Arizona.

Ullmark will be back between the pipes for the tail-end of the Bruins' back-to-back on Tuesday after Jeremy Swayman got the start in Toronto on Monday. Ullmark had a rough go his last time out, allowing five goals on 26 shots as the Bruins fell to the Islanders by a score of 5-1. He is in the midst of a personal five-game losing streak, and things won't get any easier for him on Tuesday night as he's set to take on Connor McDavid and the Oilers.

Keller has not played since February 25th due to an upper-body injury but will return on Tuesday night against the Chicago Blackhawks. Keller's absence from the Coyotes' lineup has been a troubling blow for a team that, albeit on a two-game winning streak, has lost 14 of their last 16 (2-12-2). Before his injury, Keller had produced three points (1G / 2A) in his last two games.

Tucker finds himself back in the Blues' lineup on Tuesday vs. New York as he replaces Scott Perunovich for the second half of St. Louis' back-to-back. Tucker will draw into the Blues' third defensive pairing and will hope to build off his one goal, two points, 11 SOG, 27 PIMs and +1 plus/minus through 17 games played.

With St. Louis on the second-half of a back-to-back, Scott Perunovich will head to the press box as a healthy scratch as Tyler Tucker steps into the Blues' lineup on Tuesday. The 25-year-old offensive defenseman has surprised many this season as he has yet to pick up his first career goal but has 13 assists, six PIMs, and a -6 plus/minus through 36 games played this season.

With St. Louis in the second half of their back-to-back on Tuesday Joel Hofer will start vs. the New York Islanders. The 23-year-old backup has been excellent when called upon in his third NHL season, with his 10-10-0 record, 2.88 GAA and .911 SV%. He will host the New York Islanders on Tuesday, who are in the midst of a three-game winning streak but are still 20th in the NHL in goals per game (2.98).

Arizona will protect their trade asset in Jason Zucker by healthy scratching him for Tuesday's matchup for trade-related purposes. With Friday's Trade Deadline looming, Zucker's first and only season in Arizona may be coming to an end as he likely closes it out with nine goals, 25 points, 104 SOG, 58 PIMs and a -5 plus/minus through 51 games played.

Peeke has been a healthy scratch for the Blue Jackets' previous two games but with Columbus switching to 11F/7D on Tuesday will draw back into the lineup for Kirill Marchenko. The 25-year-old defensive defenseman has yet to score through 21 games played this season but has six assists, six PIMs and a -5 plus/minus.

Koppanen earned his second call-up of the season from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) on Tuesday after putting up five goals, 16 points and 22 PIMs in 49 games in the minors. The 26-year-old towering left-winger has appeared in eight career NHL games prior to the call-up but has failed to score and has an assist and four assists.

Bogosian was acquired by the Wild from Tampa Bay in November earlier this season and will remain in Minnesota for at least two more years after signing a two-year, $2.5 million contract on Tuesday. The 33-year-old is in his 16th NHL season and has a goal and nine points in 43 games played in 2023-24.

Alex Stalock was returned to San Diego (AHL) on Tuesday as John Gibson returned to practice after missing the Ducks' game on Sunday due to illness. The 30-year-old veteran netminder is a name to watch as the trade deadline comes around on Friday but will look to improve his overall stock and build on his 13-20-2 record, 3.15 GAA and .898 SV%.

With Florida on the second half of their back-to-back, Anthony Stolarz will take over the crease after Sergei Bobrovsky secured the victory on Monday. Stolarz has made an excellent offseason acquisition as he has been the perfect backup all season with his 11-5-2 record, 2.02 GAA and .924 SV%. He heads to New Jersey to take on the struggling Devils' on Tuesday, who have lost five of their last seven games and are playing their first game under newly appointed head coach Travis Green.

Tkachuk missed his first game of the season on Saturday due to an upper-body injury but is expected to return to the Senators' lineup on Wednesday vs. Anaheim. The 24-year-old captain makes a welcome return as he is first on the team in goals (26) and third in points (50) while leading all skaters in PIMs (104) as well across his 58 games played before the injury. He will resume his role on Ottawa's top line and powerplay.

Pascal Vincent and the Blue Jackets coaching staff have opted to go with an 11-forward, seven defenseman formation on Tuesday with Marchenko out of the lineup. Marchenko tallied an assist and one shot on goal in Monday's 6-3 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights.

Friedman will be the odd man out of the lineup on Tuesday as Carson Soucy (hand) makes his return to the lineup. Friedman played on Sunday, his first contest in three weeks, recording a -1 plus/minus, one shot, and one hit in 12:54 time-on-ice.

Kiviranta has eight points (3G / 5A) in 48 games this season and has been limited to only one goal in his last 16. He played 11:02 time-on-ice in Monday's 5-0 win over the Chicago Blackhawks and will be a game-time decision against the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday.
