Lyubuskin has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but will draw back into the lineup on Wednesday against the San Jose Sharks. In his last three outings, Lyubushkin has a -4 plus/minus, one shot, and two hits.
Gibson will start for the third time in the last four games when the Ducks face off against the San Jose Sharks. Gibson allowed four goals on 44 shots (.909 SV%) in his last outing, a 4-3 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars. The 30-year-old netminder has lost three of his last four (1-2-1), posting a .908 SV%. The Ducks enter action as -177 home favourites against a Sharks team that played last night and defeated the Seattle Kraken 2-0.
Lewis recorded an assist, snapping a 15-game pointless streak, on Sunday while playing 11:36 time-on-ice. Lewis has spent most of the season playing on a line with Carl Grundstrom and Blake Lizotte and it will be a game-time decision on Wednesday against the Nashville Predators.
After missing two straight games with an illness, Byfield will draw back into the lineup for the Kings on Wednesday evening. Before his injury, Byfield was riding a three-game point streak, with four points (2G / 2A) while playing on the top line, as he has for most of the season, with Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe.
Rittich will start for the second straight game as the reeling Kings look for a solution to their losing woes. The Kings have lost 14 of their last 16 (2-9-5), and their only two wins have come with Rittich between the pipes. Rittich has played well for the Kings, allowing three or fewer goals in five of his last six outings (2-1-2), posting a respectable .916 SV%. The Kings are -115 road favourites against a Nashville Predators team riding a two-game losing skid.
Carrier played only 8:01 time-on-ice before exiting Monday's game against the Ottawa Senators with an undisclosed injury. The 27-year-old defender has 44 hits and 92 blocks while averaging 18:09 time-on-ice through 46 games this season. Carrier will be a game-time decision on Wednesday, but don't be surprised if he can't play, as Tyson Barrie has already been confirmed to return to the Predators lineup.
Barrie will return to the lineup on Wednesday for the first time in five games. Barrie has only played once since Christmas, on January 20th, recording two penalty minutes and one shot in 18:55 time-on-ice.
Rafferty had two goals, 14 assists, six PIMs and a +4 plus/minus in 38 games played with Grand Rapids (AHL), and was called up by the Red Wings last week but served as a healthy scratch. The 28-year-old defenseman last appeared in the NHL in 2020-21 with Vancouver and has an assist in three career NHL games played.
Korpisalo was excellent in relief of Mads Sogaard on Monday, saving all 17 shots he faced in a 4-3 overtime victory over the Nashville Predators. Korpisalo has had a forgettable season but has played better lately, allowing three or fewer goals in five of his last six outings (3-1-2), posting a respectable .910 SV%. That said, the Senators are slight -101 road underdogs on Wednesday against the Detroit Red Wings, winners of two straight, outscoring their opposition 8-2.

Saros returned to the crease after a night off and allowed four goals on 35 shots (.886 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators on Monday Night. Despite his last outing, Saros has played well lately, allowing three or fewer goals in six of his last seven games (3-1-1), posting an impressive .922 SV%. The Predators will look to snap a two-game losing skid as slight +103 home underdogs against a Los Angeles Kings team that has lost four straight (0-2-2).
Husso wasn't scheduled to start on Wednesday but will be out of the lineup entirely after coming down with an illness. Husso has not played a game since returning to the lineup last week and will likely continue to be a secondary option between the pipes as long as Alex Lyon continues to give the Red Wings solid goaltending regularly.
Andersen was diagnosed with deep-vein thrombosis and subsequent pulmonary embolisms in November. Andersen has resumed off-ice activities without complication and will not begin limited on-ice conditioning. Andersen remains without a timetable to return to the lineup.
Schwartz missed Tuesday's morning skate due to maintenance but is apparently good to go for Tuesday's game vs. San Jose. The 31-year-old has enjoyed a fine season when healthy and is on pace for his most productive season since joining Seattle in 2021-22. He has 10 goals, 11 assists, 10 PIMs, 69 SOG and a -13 plus/minus in 33 games played so far this season.
Daccord will man the Kraken crease for his fifth straight start after being the first goalie off the ice Tuesday ahead of a matchup in San Jose. The 27-year-old is one of the season's best stories as he's had a breakout campaign with his 15-8-9 record, 2.36 GAA and .920 SV%. He draws the favourable matchup of the San Jose Sharks, who surprisingly had a three game winning streak snapped by a 5-2 loss to Buffalo last game and are tied for last in the NHL in goals per game (2.08).
