Bean was selected No.13 overall back in 2016 and will make his debut on the third pair with Trevor van Riemsdyk. Bean, who is in his first AHL season after spending four years in the WHL, has collected 11 points (3G / 8A) in 21 games with the Checkers. Bean brings some more offence to an already talented blue line in Carolina and carries some interesting punt value in daily formats.
Hutton allowed two goals on 33 shots in the Sabres win over the Canadiens last Friday. Hutton continued his dominance, extending his winning streak to seven games. Over that stretch, Hutton ranks ninth among goalies in GAA (1.98) and tied for eighth in SV% (.934). The Sabres are among the top teams in the NHL right now, but the Sharks pose a lot of matchup issues for Buffalo.
Domingue stopped 33 of the 35 shots that he faced in the Lightning’s win over the Devils on Sunday. Domingue is now riding a three-game winning streak and is 5-1-0 with a 3.00 GAA and .918 SV% in six starts since Andrei Vasilevskiy got hurt. He will look to stay hot versus the Ducks at Amalie Arena, where he has yet to lose (4-0-0) while posting a 2.25 GAA and .940 SV%.
Stolarz made 33 saves on 35 shots after replacing Calvin Pickard in the Flyers loss in Toronto on Saturday. It was a strong showing for the 24-year-old and likely earned himself a start tonight vs. Ottawa. Stolarz was 2-0-0 and stopped 64 of the 72 (.889 SV%) shots he faced in just three games with Lehigh Valley (AHL) before being called-up. He owns a 2.11 GAA and .931 SV% in limited NHL action.
Howard allowed two goals on 35 shots in the Red Wings 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres on Saturday. Since October 30th, Howard is tied for fourth in the NHL in wins (6-1-1), eighth in SV% (.937) and 10th in GAA (2.07). Howard has been outstanding and the Red Wings have been one of the hottest teams in the NHL, but Columbus also comes in at 6-2-1 in their last nine contests.
Coleman is questionable after playing on Sunday, so head coach John Hynes listed him as a game-time decision in Florida. With Marcus Johansson out with a lower-body injury, Blake Coleman could be elevated to the second line.
Johansson is day-to-day with a lower-body ailment he is dealing with after Sunday’s loss in Tampa Bay. Jean-Sebastian Dea will draw into the lineup for Johansson.
Dubnyk missed Friday’s game vs. the Jets with an illness but was back on the ice for Monday’s practice. Head coach Bruce Boudreau said that he “will be good to go [Tuesday.]” Look for Dubnyk, who is 5-2-2 on home-ice, to start vs. the Coyotes.
Bishop has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury, but his return to the ice on Monday is a good sign that Bishop could be back this week. The Stars have a back-to-back on Tuesday/Wednesday, so a return on Wednesday would be ideal, so Anton Khudobin doesn’t have to start two nights in a row.
McElhinney stopped 34 of 35 shots in the Hurricanes win over the Panthers last Friday. Scott Darling started the second game of the back-to-back but they’ll come back to McElhinney on full rest on Tuesday. The veteran netminder is riding a three-game winning streak, stopping 97 of the 101 shots (.960 SV%) that he’s faced in the process.
Borowiecki will miss his second straight game with an undisclosed injury, which means Ben Harpur will remain in the lineup. Borowiecki is day-to-day and is questionable to Tuesday’s game in Philadelphia as well.
Bobrovsky made 32 saves on 34 shots in the Blue Jackets win over the Maple Leafs on Friday. Bobrovsky has won five of his last six starts while posting a 1.51 GAA and .950 SV%. The 30-year-old netminder has put a poor start way behind him and is back in must-start territory. He stopped 23 of 24 shots after replacing Joonas Korpisalo in their last meeting with the Red Wings.
White missed Friday’s game in Dallas with an undisclosed injury but will return to the Senators lineup on Monday. White has enjoyed a quality season, picking up seven goals and six assists (13 points) in 22 games. White will skate on the second line with Brady Tkachuk and Mark Stone.
Kuraly has played in all 23 games so far this season but is expected to be replaced by Anders Bjork on Monday. Kuraly has just four points (1G / 3A), 38 shots and 15 PIMS this season.
