Murray missed six games with a broken hand but being activated from IR suggests that he'll be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Murray has had a tough time staying healthy but is fairly productive when healthy. He has one goal and three assists in 10 games this season. Adam Clendening has been sent back to Cleveland to make room for Murray.
Ferraro will miss his second straight game on Tuesday but head coach Pete DeBoer said he is "close to returning." With Ferraro out, Tim Heed will remain in the lineup.
Jones stopped 24 of 25 shots in the Sharks win over the Predators on Saturday. Don't look now but Jones has won three in a row while posting 2.61 GAA and .889 SV% and will make his fourth consecutive start on Tuesday. Jones is 5-3-0 with a 2.87 GAA and .900 SV% on home ice and the Oilers come in on a three-game road winning streak but are averaging just 2.70 goals per game away from home.
Quick surrendered three goals 37 shots in the Kings loss in Montreal on Saturday. Quick is in the middle of an ugly four-game losing streak, where he has allowed 17 goals on 133 shots (.872 SV%). A home matchup vs. the 23rd ranked offence could help him get back on track, but he allowed five goals on 27 shots in a 5-1 loss in his first game vs. Minnesota.
Holtby surrendered two goals on 32 shots in the Capitals win over the Golden Knights last Saturday. Ilya Samsonov started vs. the Coyotes on Monday, so Holtby will face the Flyers on Wednesday. He is 5-1-1 despite posting a 3.51 GAA and .898 SV% on the road this season and the Flyers come in having won four of their last five at home.
Luff is tied for second in team scoring with 10 points (3G / 7A) in 13 games with Ontario this season. There's no indication whether or not Luff will make his season debut on Tuesday but he comes up with 11 points (8G / 3A) in 33 career NHL games.
Hart allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Flyers win in Boston on Sunday. Hart had an extremely tough end to October but has been red-hot to start November, going 4-0-0 with a 1.92 GAA and .929 SV% in his last four starts. Most of his struggles have come on the road, so he's a decent option on home-ice, where he is 4-1-0 with a 1.81 GAA, .930 SV% and one shutout.
Weber missed Monday's practice and Tuesday's morning skate but head coach Claude Julien still expects him to play vs. the Blue Jackets. This is great news for Montreal because Weber has been scorching hot as of late, scoring five goals with six assists (11 points) in his last 11 games while playing 22:46 ATOI.
Price stopped 31 of 33 shots in Montreal's win over the Kings on Saturday. Price has won three of his last five starts (3-1-1) while posting a 2.62 GAA and .924 SV%. On Tuesday he faces a Blue Jackets team that has lost six of their last seven (1-5-1) while scoring just 2.00 goals per game.
Bobrovsky stopped 34 of 36 shots in the Panthers' loss to the Islanders on Saturday. He played very well but it wasn't quite good enough because Thomas Greiss was terrific on the other end. Bobrovsky's numbers still aren't great but he hasn't lost in regulation in his last six starts, going 4-0-2 with a 3.01 GAA and .884 SV%.
With Torey Krug out, Vaakanainen will play in his third career NHL game on Tuesday. The former first-round pick (No.18 overall in 2017) didn't register a point in two NHL games last year and had two assists in 15 AHL games before being called-up on Monday.
Hyman missed the first 19 games of the season but will play Wednesday vs. the Islanders. Hyman's return comes at a great time, as he'll slide in for Mitch Marner, who is out with a high-ankle sprain. Hyman likely won't have the same success with Marner out, but he'll still be with John Tavares on Wednesday. The 27-year-old set career-highs in goals (21) and points (41) in 71 games last year.
Acciari missed the last three games but will play Tuesday in Boston. Acciari, who has settled in as the Panthers fourth-line centre, has four goals in 14 games as he gets set to face his former team tonight. Dominic Toninato was sent to Springfield (AHL) yesterday to make room for Acciari.
Hellebuyck stopped 26 of 28 shots in the Jets win over the Stars on Sunday. Hellebuyck has been absolutely outstanding in November, going 3-0-1 with a 1.47 GAA, .959 SV% and one shutout in four starts. He'll look to stay hot against an Avalanche team that has gone 2-3-1 without Mikko Rantanen and Gabriel Landeskog.
Murray gave up two goals on 31 shots in the Penguins win over the Blackhawks on Saturday. Murray has won two straight while stopping 49 of the 54 shots (.907 SV%) and comes into Tuesday's matchup at 3-1-0 with a 2.93 GAA, .885 SV% and one shutout on the road. On the other side, the Rangers are 4-4-2 while scoring 3.70 goals per game on home ice.
Sherwood played 7:25 TOI in Colorado on Saturday but will be replaced by Riley Nash in Montreal. Sherwood has not registered a point in three games with the Blue Jackets.
Nash was a healthy scratch in Colorado on Saturday but will replace Kole Sherwood in the lineup in Montreal. Nash has one goal and four assists (five points) in 16 games this season.
Robinson was called up on Monday because Nick Foligno was suspended for three games. The 24-year-old has five points (3G / 2A) in 14 games with Cleveland (AHL) this season and has no points in 14 career NHL games. He is expected to skate on the fourth line with Riley Nash and Emil Bemstrom.
The 22-year-old blueliner has split the first six weeks of the season between the AHL and NHL. Guhle has four points (1G / 3A) in four games in San Diego and three assists in seven games with the Ducks. He could draw into the lineup on Tuesday with Hampus Lindholm sidelined again.
Koivula continues to bounce between the AHL and NHL but has yet to suit up for a game with the Islanders. During his time with Bridgeport, the 21-year-old has registered two goals and three assists in 10 games.
