Vanecek was pulled in his previous start after allowing four goals on 17 shots (.765 SV%) as he took the no-decision in his worst start of the season vs. the Islanders. The 26-year-old has been exceptional for the Devils in his first season, with a 12-2-1 record, 2.30 GAA and .916 SV%. He will take on the New York Rangers, who have won their last three contests after beating Colorado 2-1 in a shootout in their last game.

Jarry stopped 28 of 31 shots against (.903 SV%) as he picked up his eighth win in nine starts with a victory over Buffalo his last time out. The 27-year-old has been on a tear as of late, which has led to his 12-3-3 record, .919 SV% and 2.76 GAA. He will take on Dallas, who have won their last two games in overtime and rank third in the NHL in goals per game (3.75).

Makiniemi played well in his two San Jose Shark appearances with a 1-0-1 record, .906 SV% and 2.13 GAA. He heads back to the Barracuda (AHL) due to James Reimer returning to the team from a lower-body injury.

Reimer has been on the injured reserve since Nov. 28th due to a lower-body injury but will return for the Sharks Tuesday as they take Arizona. Reimer has struggled at times this season as shown by his .902 SV%, 3.00 GAA and 5-8-2 record. He will be hoping a clean bill of health can lead to a success similar to his .911 SV% from 2021-22.

Stenlund did not get a chance to dress for the Winnipeg Jets and will head back to Manitoba (AHL) where he had four goals, 14 points, 26 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus in 19 games prior to his promotion.

Shesterkin stopped 41 of 42 shots (.976 SV%) in his third straight victory, with a win over Colorado his last time out. Last season's Vezina Trophy winner has been solid this year with a 13-4-4 record, .917 SV% AND 2.50 GAA. He will take on the New Jersey Devils, who are fourth in the NHL in both shots per game (34.9) and goals (3.7).

Pachal has been recalled after scoring two goals, five assists and 62 PIMs in 25 games with the Henderson Silver Knight (AHL). This will be his second career NHL call-up, with his first coming in 2021-22, where he played two games and was a -2 plus/minus.

Rondbjerg has been recalled for the second time this season after scoring eight goals, 15 points, six PIMs and a +6 plus/minus in 23 games with Henderson (AHL). In his one game this season during his prior callup, Rondbjerg had two PIMs and a -1 plus/minus across only 7:54 TOI.

Eichel missed the Golden Knights' previous game due to a lower-body injury and was placed on the injured reserve Monday retroactive to Friday, meaning he will be out for at least the next two games. The 26-year-old was on pace to have his best season to date, with 13 goals, 29 points, 100 SOG and a +17 plus/minus through 27 games played prior to the injury.
