Ullmark stopped 26 of 27 shots (.963 SV%) for his third-straight win as he picked up the victory over Tampa Bay in his previous start.

Woll is 3-1-0 with a .934 SV% and 2.03 GAA but has been reassigned to the Toronto Marlies (AHL) Tuesday. The 24-year-old returns to the AHL, where he has been incredible and will look to build off his 16-2-1 record, .930 SV% and 2.29 GAA.

Kochetkov stopped 41 of 44 shots (.932 SV%) to snap a two-game losing streak as he beat the Toronto Maple Leafs his previous time between the pipes.

He will take on the Tampa Bay Lightning, who have lost four straight after a 2-1 defeat to Boston last game.

Braun has been a healthy scratch since March 11th and will draw back into the lineup Tuesday as the Flyers take on the Canadiens. The 36-year-old stay-at-home defenseman has two assists, 35 SOG, 19 PIMs and a -1 plus/minus through 44 games this season.

Deslaurier has missed the Flyers' previous two games due to an upper-body injury but is expected to return to the Flyers' lineup Tuesday vs. Montreal. The 32-year-old bruiser has five goals, six assists, 62 SOG, 111 PIMs and a -9 plus/minus through 70 games this season.

Josi will miss his sixth consecutive game with an upper-body injury, but he appears close to returning to the lineup. The fact that he travelled with the team suggests he could play Thursday in Pittsburgh.

Wallinder was the Red Wings' 2020 second-round pick (32 overall) and signed a three-year entry-level contract starting in 2023-24. The 20-year-old puck-moving defensemen had seven goals, 19 assists, 10 PIMs and a +3 with Rogle BK (SHL).

Chiasson was missing from Monday's practice due to an undisclosed injury and is questionable to play Tuesday vs. The Penguins. Taro Hirose was recalled from the AHL on Tuesday morning, suggesting that Chiasson will be unavailable.

He takes on the Arizona Coyotes, who have lost four-straight games and are last in the NHL in shots per game (25.6).

Grubauer stopped 14 of 16 shots (.875 SV%) for his second win in three starts as he easily handled the Nashville Predators in his previous time between the pipes.
