Saros allowed four goals on 39 shots (.897 SV%) but still picked up his third-straight win as he beat New Jersey in his previous start. The 27-year-old has been a wall for Nashville all season, with his 19-13-5 record, 2.74 GAA and .920 SV%. He takes on the Vegas Golden Knights, who are in the midst of a four-game losing streak and are 18th in the NHL in goals per game (3.08).

Gilbert was recalled Monday and reassigned Tuesday from the Flames back to the Calgary Wranglers (AHL). The 26-year-old returns to the minors where he had two goals, three assists, 41 PIMs and a +11 plus/minus through 26 games with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) prior to his previous promotion.

Brodin last played on February 6th due to a lower-body injury and is doubtful to return to the Wilds' lineup Wednesday vs. Dallas. The 29-year-old had two goals, six assists, 63 SOG, 20 PIMs, and a +7 plus/minus through 43 games prior to his injury.

Gustavsson allowed four goals on 26 shots (.846 SV%) for his first loss in three games as he was downed by Florida in his previous start. The 24-year-old has broken out in a big way this season, with an impressive 11-7-1 record, .922 SV% and 2.26 GAA. He will take on the Dallas Stars, who just snapped a three-game overtime losing streak with a 3-2 shootout win over Anaheim last game.

Cozens has 17 goals, 26 assists, 124 SOG, 24 PIMs and a +3 plus/minus and has earned himself a seven-year contract extension worth $49.7 million ($7.1M AAV). At the young age of 21 years old, Cozens is just six points away from achieving 100 career points on his career already.

O'Brien hasn't played since Dec. 16th due to a hand injury but is expected to return to the Coyotes' lineup Friday vs. Chicago. The 28-year-old had one goal, four assists, 16 SOG, and 40 PIMs across 28 games prior to the injury.

He returns to Tuscon, where he had 19 goals, 18 assists, 30 PIMs, 99 SOG and a -14 plus/minus through 46 games.

Jones allowed four goals on 37 shots (.892 SV%) as he snapped a two-game winning streak with a loss to Calgary in his last start. The 33-year-old has been one of the league's winningest goaltenders with his 23-7-3 record despite having rather mediocre numbers in his 2.82 GAA and .895 SV%. He takes on the newly revamped New York Islanders, who have won their last three games after a 2-1 victory over Philadelphia on Monday night.

Mrazek allowed seven goals on 43 shots (.837 SV%) for his third-straight loss as he was downed by the Edmonton Oilers in his last start. The 30-year-old has battled injuries all year, which has led to horrific numbers in the form of a 5-13-1 record, 4.05 GAA and .885 SV%. He takes on the Anaheim Ducks, who snapped a three-game winning streak after losing their previous contest 3-2 to Dallas in a shootout.

Francouz allowed four goals on 31 shots (.871 SV%) to snap a four-game winning streak as he was defeated by Anaheim in his previous start. The Avalanche's backup netminder has been solid when called upon yet again this season, with his 7-7-0 record, 2.58 GAA and .917 SV%. He will take on the Pittsburgh Penguins, who have lost three of their last four games after a 6-4 loss to San Jose in their last game.

Labanc will surprisingly head to the press box for a second straight contest as a healthy scratch Tuesday as San Jose takes on Tampa Bay. The 27-year-old has 10 goals, 15 assists, 83 SOG, 22 PIMs and a -3 plus/minus through 45 games played prior to his recent time off.

Harrington was a healthy scratch for the Sharks' previous contest but will draw back into the lineup Tuesday as they take on Tampa Bay. The 29-year-old defenseman has a goal, five assists, 18 SOG and a -4 plus/minus through 20 games played so far this season.

Kahkonen allowed four goals on 41 shots (.902 SV%) for his first win in three games as he beat Pittsburgh in his previous start. The 26-year-old Sharks' backup has been one of the league's worst goaltenders this year, with his 6-9-4 record, 3.89 GAA and .871 SV%. He takes on the Tampa Bay Lightning, who lost their previous game 7-1 to Florida Monday but are still fifth in the NHL in goals per game (3.57).

Megna was acquired from the Sharks for a fourth-round pick on Sunday and will be paired with Carson Soucy in his Kraken debut against the Islanders. Megna has 25 points (4G / 21A) in 135 career NHL games, including a career-high 12 points (1G / 11A) in 48 games this season.

He takes on the Anaheim Ducks, who snapped a three-game winning streak after losing their previous contest 3-2 to Dallas in a shootout.

Archibald has four goals, two assists, 41 SOG, 18 PIMs and a +8 plus/minus but will return to the Penguins' lineup Tuesday vs. Colorado after recovering from a lower-body injury. A game off may be what the 30-year-old winger needs to reset as he has not picked up a point in 10 games prior to the All-Star break.

Jarry was on the ice for Tuesday's optional morning skate and is getting closer to returning to the Penguins crease. Casey DeSmith will start vs. the Avalanche, and Dustin Tokarski is expected to back up with Jarry still sidelined. Jarry was placed on the IR but can be activated at any time.
