Green (personal) will be back in the Red Wings lineup on Tuesday.

Mike Green
Murray will start Tuesday vs. the Islanders.

Murray allowed two goals on 21 shots in the Penguins' 2-1 loss in New Jersey last Friday. Tristan Jarry started Saturday, so they come back to Murray tonight vs. the Islanders. In his last six starts, Murray has gone 2-1-2 with a 2.68 GAA and .894 SV%. With a ton of injuries in front of him, wins are going to be hard to come by but Murray should turn in strong splits. He stopped 20 of 23 shots in a 4-3 OT win in his first start vs. the Islanders.

Matt Murray
Blackwood will start Tuesday vs. the Bruins.

Blackwood gave up three goals on 34 shots in the Devils win in Montreal on Saturday. Blackwood has won three of his last four starts while posting a 2.00 GAA and .938 SV%. With Cory Schneider going on waivers and Louis Domingue coming up, Blackwood could have more competition for starts moving forward. He'll see a Bruins squad that has lost four of their last six on the road.

Mackenzie Blackwood
Bobrovsky will start Tuesday vs. the Flyers.

Bobrovsky gave up three goals on 33 shots in the Panthers' 4-3 win over the Rangers on Saturday. The win snapped a four-game losing streak for Bobrovsky, who is now 4-2-2 with a 3.54 GAA, .887 SV% and one shutout on home-ice this season. Tonight he faces a Flyers team that has lost three straight and recently recalled Morgan Frost to try and help boost their offence.

Sergei Bobrovsky
The Avalanche have sent Adam Werner to Colorado (AHL).

With Philipp Grubauer and/or Pavel Francouz expected to return on Tuesday, Werner heads back to the AHL where he has gone 5-4-0 with a. 2.88 GAA and .908 SV%. He had one great outing and one terrible game during his time with Colorado.

Adam Werner
Bernier will start Tuesday vs. the Senators.

Bernier surrendered three goals on 31 shots in the Red Wings' overtime loss in Los Angeles last Thursday. He appeared to be well on his way to a fourth-straight win but a late collapse led to a 3-2 loss. Bernier has taken over as the Red Wings' No.1 by going 3-0-1 with a 2.49 GAA and .905 SV% in his last four outings. He allowed four goals on 37 shots in a 5-2 loss in his first game vs. Ottawa.

Jonathan Bernier
Korpisalo will start Tuesday vs. the Canadiens.

Korpisalo allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Blue Jackets 3-2 overtime win over the Blues last Friday. Korpisalo has elevated his game in November, going 2-3-0 while posting a 2.40 GAA and .919 SV%--a huge improvement on his 3.37 GAA and .886 SV% in 10 October starts. Tonight he faces a Montreal team that has gone 4-0-2 in their last six but just lost two of their top-9 forwards over the weekend.

Joonas Korpisalo
Ullmark will start Tuesday vs. the Wild.

Ullmark stopped 21 of 23 shots in the Sabres win over the Senators on Saturday. The win moved Ullmark to 2-1-0 with a. 2.29 GAA and .930 SV% on home-ice. With Carter Hutton struggling, Ullmark is starting to carve out a larger role in the Sabres' crease. He draws a nice matchup on Tuesday with Minnesota going 3-10-0 while scoring just 2.15 goals per game on the road.

Linus Ullmark
The Lightning have recalled Cory Conacher from Syracuse (AHL).

Conacher has scored five goals with seven assists (12 points) in 16 AHL games this season. Conacher has been a predominately AHL player throughout his career, collecting 303 points (117G / 186A) in 324 career AHL games. He has also scored 28 goals with 46 assists (74 points) in 189 career NHL games with the Lighting, Senators, Sabres and Islanders.

Cory Conacher
The Panthers have recalled Dominic Toninato from Springfield (AHL).

Toninato appeared in three games with Panthers earlier this season before returning to the AHL. The 22-year-old forward has scored five goals with three assists (eight points) in 15 games with Springfield this season and will replace Dryden Hunt on the Panthers fourth line on Tuesday.

Dominic Toninato
Gibson led the Ducks onto the ice for warmups.

Gibson stopped 37 of the 38 shots that he faced in the Ducks win in St. Louis on Saturday. The win snapped an ugly three-game losing streak for Gibson, who is now 2-5-0 with a 2.90 GAA and .913 SV% in seven road starts. The Capitals come into Monday's game having won four of their last six (4-1-1) in Washington while scoring 4.14 goals per game.

John Gibson
Calvert is in concussion protocol and is out indefinitely.

Calvert was hit in the face by a Canucks point-shot in Saturday's win and is out indefinitely. Calvert has travelled back to Colorado and is in concussion protocol. The Avalanche will likely need to call up some reinforcements from Colorado (AHL) to fill-in for Calvert.

What are the latest updates on NHL player suspensions or disciplinary actions?

Already this season we’ve seen the hammer brought down by the NHL Department of Player Safety. Notable suspensions and fines include Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs who was given a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head against the Edmonton Oilers, and Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot who was dealt a three-game suspension, also for an illegal hit to the head.

In the 2023-24 season, there were a total of 14 suspensions and 17 fines issued throughout the NHL. The longest suspension served was dealt to former-Detroit Red Wing David Perron at six-games after a cross-checking penalty dealt ironically against his current team in the 2024-25 season, the Ottawa Senators.

How are NHL player performances impacting fantasy hockey?
