Demko allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Canucks’ loss in Toronto last Saturday. Since Jacob Markstrom got hurt, Demko has gone 1-2-0 while allowing 10 goals on 83 shots (.892 SV%). He’s got a nice matchup vs. an Arizona team that is 1-9-1 while scoring just 1.55 goals per game in their last 11 road games.
Kuemper allowed two goals on 26 shots in the Coyotes loss to the Panthers last Tuesday. With Antti Raanta starting last Saturday, Kuemper has had over one week off.

Burakovsky did not come out for Colorado's morning skate and will not play tonight vs. the Ducks. Head coach Jared Bednar expects him to miss a few more games, so don't expect to see him Friday in Vancouver or Sunday in San Jose. Vladislav Namestnikov will remain on the top line with Burakovsky out.
Makar was not on the ice for the morning skate and will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury. Makar is listed as day-to-day, so considering him questionable for Friday's game in Vancouver.
Francouz stopped 30 of 32 shots in Colorado’s win in Nashville last Saturday. Michael Hutchinson gave him the night off on Monday, so they’ll come back to Francouz tonight vs. the Ducks. Francouz has won six straight games with a 1.32 GAA, .957 SV% and one shutout and faces an Anaheim team that has gone 2-5-1 while scoring 2.38 goals per game in their last eight games.
Talbot stopped all 38 shots that he faced in the Flames shutout win in Florida on Sunday. It was a terrific outing for Talbot, who will start for the second straight game tonight vs. the Blue Jackets. He is 5-6-1 with a 3.17 GAA and .900 SV% on home ice this season and Columbus has gone 0-2-3 while scoring 2.80 goals per game in their last five road games.
This will be the first time that Kempny is a healthy scratch in 2020 and he will be replaced by Radko Gudas, who was a healthy scratch on Sunday. Kempny has just one assist while playing 18:50 ATOI in his last 20 games.
Gudas was a healthy scratch in Minnesota on Sunday but will replace Michal Kempny in the lineup on Wednesday. Gudas will be paired with Jonas Siegenthaler and comes in with just one assist in his last 18 games.
Gibson allowed three goals on 34 shots in the Ducks loss to New Jersey on Sunday. Gibson has gone 2-3-1 with a 2.98 GAA and .902 SV% in his last six starts. In his first game against the Blackhawks, Gibson allowed four goals on 33 shots in a 4-2 loss in mid-January.
Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 21 shots in the Lightning's win over the Flames on Saturday. It wasn't his best performance but it was enough to snap an ugly three-game losing streak. Overall, Vasilevskiy was 7-3-0 with a 2.91 GAA and .902 SV% in February. He comes into Tuesday's game at 2-0-0 with a 2.40 GAA and .924 SV% in his first two starts vs. the Bruins this season.
Angello will draw into the Penguins lineup with Brandon Tanev out with an illness. Angello has picked up one goal in seven NHL games this season and 25 points (16G / 9A) in 48 AHL games.
Tanev is battling an illness so he will be replaced by Anthony Angello tonight vs. the Senators. Angello will likely suit up on the fourth line with Teddy Blueger and Evan Rodrigues.
Marino will return after an 11-game absence with broken bones in his cheek but will suit up tonight vs. the Senators. Marino has been one of the biggest surprises in the NHL this season, posting 25 points (5G / 20A) in 51 games.
