Shesterkin allowed three goals on 29 shots (.897 SV%) for his third win in his last four games as he beat Seattle in his previous start. The 2022 Vezina Trophy winner may not repeat the award this year, but still has an incredibly solid 23-8-7 record, 2.48 GAA and .916 SV%. He will face the Vancouver Canucks, who have lost four of their last five games after a 6-1 loss to Detroit their last time out.
Silovs was 21-9-4 with a .906 SV% and 2.48 GAA with the Abbotsford Canucks (AHL) and will make his NHL debut Wednesday as he takes on the New York Rangers.

He draws a tough first matchup in the Rangers, who are in the midst of a five-game winning streak after a 6-2 victory over Carolina last game.
Leason has four goals, three assists, 37 SOG, six PIMs and a -19 plus/minus through 43 games played this season but will be a healthy scratch Wednesday as the Ducks take on the Sabres. He will be replaced by Maxime Comtois in the lineup.

Silovs has gone 21-9-4 with a 2.48 GAA and .906 SV% in 35 games with Abbotsford (AHL) this season. It's believed that he will serve as Collin Delia's backup on Wednesday, with Spencer Martin heading to the AHL after clearing waivers. Silovs will likely go back to the AHL by the end of the week, making room for Thatcher Demko to return to the Canucks' crease.

He started the 2022-23 season off OK, going 6-1-1 with a .907 SV%, but his game fell off a cliff in December, going 5-14-0 with an .854 SV% in his last 21 appearances.

Arturs Silovs was recalled in a corresponding move, and he's expected to serve as Collin Delia's backup on Wednesday.
