Allen allowed two goals on 36 shots in the Blues win in San Jose on December 21st. Jordan Binnington started the last three games but it looks like Allen will start New Year's Even in Arizona. Allen has gone 4-1-0 with a 1.39 GAA, .958 SV% and one shutout in his last six outings (five starts). He draws a solid road matchup in Arizona, vs. a Coyotes team that has lost three in a row while scoring just 1.67 goals per game.

Dell allowed three goals on 38 shots in the Sharks loss to the Kings last Friday. The Sharks continue to struggle and Dell has now lost three straight while posting a 3.05 GAA and .904 SV%. To make matters worse, the Sharks are in Pittsburgh on Thursday and the Penguins have won seven of their last eight while scoring 4.00 goals per game.

Koskinen surrendered four goals on 24 shots in the Oilers loss to the Flames last Friday. Koskinen is struggling right now, having lost five of his last seven (2-5-0) while posting a 3.37 GAA and .900 SV%. Things don't get any easier tonight with the Rangers in town--New York is 4-2-1 while scoring 3.50 goals per game in their last eight road games.

Raanta allowed three goals on 24 shots in the Coyotes loss to the Stars on Sunday. Raanta has lost three in a row while giving up 10 goals on 81 shots (.877 SV%). It's been a tough go for Raanta, who is taking over for Darcy Kuemper as the team's No.1 netminder and things might get worse on Tuesday. The Blues have won eight straight and have averaged 4.13 goals per game over that stretch.

Koekkoek played in two straight games but will come out with Olli Maatta drawing back in against the Flames.

Maatta served as a healthy scratch in Columbus on Sunday but will replace Slater Koekkoek in Calgary on Tuesday night. Maatta has one goal and seven assists (eight points) in 35 games this season.

Nylander has been held pointless in his last four games and played a season-low 7:19 TOI on Sunday. He will be replaced by Dylan Sikura in Chicago.

Sikura has been a healthy scratch for the last three games but will replace the struggling Alex Nylander on Tuesday. Sikura has no points while posting just 9:19 ATOI in three games this season.

Jones made 26 saves on 27 shots in the Sharks win over the Flyers on Saturday. The win snapped a six-game losing streak for Jones, who draws a tremendous matchup tonight in Detroit. He is an ugly 3-7-1 on the road this year but stopped 25 of 28 shots in a 4-3 shootout win in his first start against the Red Wings in 2019-20.

Lehner gave up two goals on 33 shots in the Blackhawks win in Columbus on Sunday. In his last six appearances (five starts), Lehner has gone 5-0-0 with a 2.51 GAA and .927 SV%. He'll look to stay hot Tuesday against a Calgary team that is in a slump right now. The Flames have lost five of their last seven (2-4-1) while averaging 2.29 goals per game.

Laughton missed the last seven games with a groin injury but he will play Tuesday in Los Angeles. Laughton will likely replace Andy Andreoff and skate on the third line and will look to build on the nine points (4G / 5A) he amassed in his first 19 games.

Elliott allowed one goal on 28 shots in the Flyers win in Anaheim on Sunday. Elliott has won his last two starts and is 7-3-0 with a 2.95 GAA and .909 SV% in 13 road appearances (10 starts) this season. Tonight he faces a Kings team that has lost four of their last seven (3-3-1) home games while averaging just 2.29 goals per game.

Gibson allowed two goals on 35 shots in the Ducks loss to the Flyers on Sunday. The loss snapped a brief two-game winning streak for Gibson, who has gone 4-3-1 with a 2.80 GAA and .905 SV% in December. He is 1-1-0 but has allowed eight goals on 78 shots (.897 SV%) in his two starts vs. Vegas this season.

Allen allowed two goals on 36 shots in the Blues win in San Jose on December 21st. Jordan Binnington started the last three games but it looks like Allen will start New Year's Even in Arizona. Allen has gone 4-1-0 with a 1.39 GAA, .958 SV% and one shutout in his last six outings (five starts). He draws a solid road matchup in Arizona, vs. a Coyotes team that has lost three in a row while scoring just 1.67 goals per game.

Shaw has picked up two goals and one assist in his last seven games but will come out of the lineup with Mathieu Perreault returning from a concussion.

Perreault has missed the last six games with a concussion but will be back on the Jets' third line on Tuesday. Perreault has six goals and six assists (12 points) in 33 games this season. He will replace Logan Shaw in the lineup.

Brodie missed Monday's practice and Tuesday's morning skate but is officially listed as a game-time decision vs. the Blackhawks. If he can't play, look for Rasmus Andersson to be elevated to the top-pair and for Michael Stone to draw into the lineup.

Hellebuyck gave up three goals on 27 shots in the Jets loss in St. Louis on Sunday. Hellebuyck has lost four of his last five starts (1-3-1) while posting a 3.64 GAA and .885 SV%, which includes a 31-save shutout in Minnesota for the only win. In his first start vs. the Avalanche, Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 25 shots in a 4-0 loss.
