Allen allowed one goal on 32 shots in the Canadiens 2-0 loss to the Flames on Saturday. It was another terrific outing from Allen but Jacob Markstrom was perfect at the other end of the ice. Through three starts with Montreal, Allen has a 1.68 GAA and .933 SV%, proving he is one of the best backup options in the NHL and an outstanding handcuff or standalone fantasy netminder.

Demko allowed one goal on 24 shots in the Canucks win in Winnipeg on Saturday. Demko appears to be slowly taking over the No.1 job in Vancouver, winning three in a row while stopping 100 of the 103 shots (.971 SV%) that he's faced. It's been a great turnaround after a rough start but he draws a terrible matchup tonight in Montreal.

Talbot allowed three goals on 25 shots in the Wild's overtime win over the Avalanche on Sunday. It was a solid return to the crease for the veteran netminder, who missed the previous four games with a lower-body issue. On Tuesday he'll be looking for another win over the Avalanche, who will be without Nathan MacKinnon.

Chabot will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury, which means Artem Zub will remain in the Senators lineup in a tough assignment vs. Connor McDavid and Co.

Hogberg allowed five goals on 22 shots after replacing Matt Murray in the Senators loss in Edmonton on Sunday. Hogberg has struggled mightily this season, allowing five goals in all three of his appearances so far, posting a 4.71 GAA and .845 SV% overall.

Hunt, who will be making his season debut, will replace Lawson Crouse, who is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Hunt has 15 points (3G / 12A) in 63 career NHL games.

Crouse and Christian Fischer will come out of the lineup with undisclosed injuries, so John Hayden and Dryden Hunt will draw into the lineup in the bottom-6. Crouse is considered day-to-day.

Despite scoring two goals in the win on Sunday, Neal will come out of the lineup on Tuesday. The Oilers will go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen, so look for Evan Bouchard to replace Neal in the lineup and Alex Chiasson to play on PP1.

Bouchard was the No.10 overall pick in 2018 and appeared in seven games with the Oilers in 2018-19. The 21-year-old, who had 36 points (7G / 29A) in 54 games with Bakersfield (AHL) last year, will make his season debut vs. the Senators and is expected to skate on the third pair with Kris Russell.

Koskinen allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Oilers win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday. After starting the first 10 games of the season, Koskinen was finally given a breather on Sunday. He'll get right back in the crease tonight and comes in at 4-6-0 with a 3.45 GAA and .895 SV% o the season.

Foegele has been on the COVID-19 reserve list and has not played since January 18th. Foegele should reclaim a spot in the Hurricanes' bottom-6 and is still searching for his first point of the season.

Martinook has been on the COVID-19 reserve list and has not played since January 18th. Martinook should reclaim a spot on the Hurricanes' fourth-line and comes in with one assist in three games this season.

Slavin has been on the COVID-19 reserve list and has not played since January 18th. His return to the Hurricanes' blueline will provide a huge boost, as he should replace Jake Bean and skat eon the top-pair with Dougie Hamilton.

Teravainen has been out since January 18th but is set to return to the lineup Tuesday in Chicago. Teravainen missed time on the COVID-19 reserve list but should re-claim his spot on the Hurricanes' top-line with Sebastian Aho on Tuesday.

Reimer allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Hurricanes win over the Stars on Sunday. With Petr Mrazek out for an extended period of time, the Hurricanes will rely heavily on Reimer moving forward. He has stopped 67 of 73 shots (.918 SV%) in hie first three appearances of 2021.
