The Panthers have reassigned Riley Stillman to Springfield (AHL).
The Red Wings have placed Trevor Daley (undisclosed) on IR.
The Red Wings recalled Dylan McIlrath from Grand Rapids (AHL).
Goalie Start
Binnington starts Tuesday in Vancouver.
Binnington allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Blues victor vs. the Blue Jackets last Friday. Jake Allen finally gave him a night off on Saturday but they'll go right back to Binnington in Vancouver. Binnington has gone 5-1-0 with a 2.17 GAA and .926 SV% in his last six starts, putting him back firmly among the top goalies in the league. The Canucks' offence is among the best in the league right now but it's hard to justify benching Binnington.
Goalie Start
Gibson led the Ducks onto the ice for warmups.
Gibson stopped 39 of 40 shots in the Ducks win over the Canucks last Friday. Gibson was able to neutralize one of the best offences in hockey right now and won for the second game in a row. He has been drastically better in Anaheim this season, going 5-1-0 with a 1.83 GAA and .948 SV%, so don't hesitate to start him vs. a Wild team that has scored the third-fewest goals (2.36 GF/gm) this season.
Goalie Start
Hellebuyck led the Jets onto the ice for warmups.
Hellebuyck allowed two goals on 53 shots in the Jets win in San Jose last Friday. Hellebuyck made up for his disastrous outing in Anaheim a few days prior and is now 6-5-0 with a 2.57 GAA and .927 SV% on the season. The Devils enter the night having lost three of four but are averaging an impressive 4.25 goals per game over the stretch.
Goalie Start
Mrazek led the Hurricanes onto the ice for warmups.
Mrazek surrendered three goals on 32 shots in the Hurricanes win over the Red Wings last Friday. The win extended Mrazek's winning streak to three--he has stopped 89 of the 93 shots (.957 SV%) that he's faced over that span. He hasn't been as good on the road, going 1-1-1 with a 3.21 GAA and .893 SV% in three games and Philadelphia is 4-1-1 with 4.17 goals per game at Wells Fargo Center.
Goalie Start
Greiss led the Islanders onto the ice for warmups.
Greiss allowed two goals on 35 shots in the Islanders win over the Lightning last Friday. The Islanders are rolling right now so they will stick with their goaltending rotation. Personally, Greiss has won four in a row while posting a 2.00 GAA and .937 SV%. This is reminiscent of what we saw in 2018-19, so continue to trust Greiss until he starts playing poorly.
Haula (lower-body) will not play on Tuesday.
Haula did not travel to Philadelphia and will be replaced by Haydn Fleury, who will dress as a seventh defenseman. Haula will be replaced by Lucas Wallmark on the third line and is listed as day-to-day.
Send Down
The Coyotes have reassigned Michael Chaput to Tucson (AHL).
Chaput did not appear in a game with the Coyotes and returns to the Roadrunners, where he has five goals and one assist in nine games.
The Coyotes have recalled Kyle Capobianco from Tucson (AHL).
Capobianco comes up from the AHL because Jordan Oesterle was hurt last night and Capobianco will likely serve as a reserve defenseman with Ilya Lyubushkin replacing Oesterle.
Line Change
Chlapik will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.
Chlapik appeared in three straight games but will be scratched with Artem Anisimov returning from a lower-body injury. Chlapik failed to record a point in his three games.
Brannstrom will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.
Brannstrom appeared in all 13 games this season but will allow Cody Goloubef to make his season debut on Tuesday. Brannstrom has had a tough start to the season, collecting just one assist and 13 shots.
Line Change
Goloubef will make his season debut on Tuesday.
Goloubef will be playing in his first NHL game since March 14th. The 29-year-old, who has 23 points (2G / 21A) in 134 career NHL games, will replace Erik Brannstrom to get him some playing time.
Anisimov (lower-body) will be back in the Senators lineup on Tuesday.
Anisimov missed the last five games but as expected, he'll be back in the lineup vs. the Islanders. Anisimov will replace Filip Chlapik and re-enters the lineup with one goal in five games.
Goalie Start
Markstrom will start Tuesday vs. the Blues.
Markstrom allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Canucks loss in Anaheim last Friday. Thatcher Demko got the nod on Saturday but Markstrom will make his third start in four games on Tuesday. He's actually been better on the road, but has yet to lose in regulation in Vancouver, going 2-0-1 with a 2.84 GAA and .910 SV% so far. He also went 2-0 against the Blues a season ago.
Goalie Start
Anderson will start Tuesday against the Islanders.
Anderson gave up five goals on 32 shots in the Senators' loss in Boston on Saturday. Anders Nilsson gave him a breather last night, so that means Anderson will get the red-hot Islanders tonight. The Isles are on a nine-game winning streak while averaging 3.33 goals per game, so Anderson might night be the best option on a busy Tuesday.
Goalie Start
Lehner will start Tuesday in San Jose.
Goalie Start
Binnington was the first goalie off of the ice at the Blues morning skate.
Binnington allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Blues victor vs. the Blue Jackets last Friday. Jake Allen finally gave him a night off on Saturday but they'll go right back to Binnington in Vancouver. Binnington has gone 5-1-0 with a 2.17 GAA and .926 SV% in his last six starts, putting him back firmly among the top goalies in the league. The Canucks' offence is among the best in the league right now but it's hard to justify benching Binnington.

Who are the top NHL players to watch this season?
There’s never been more talent scattered across the NHL than there is this season. With living legends like Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin still setting records left-and-right, alongside today’s current superstars such as Connor McDavid and Nathan Mackinnon, the level of talent in the NHL is at an all-time high. Along with these established stars, there’s plenty of budding stars emerging every season such as Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini, and Matvei Michkov.
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. Additionally, Perron was fined $148,437.48 for his actions.
How are NHL player performances impacting fantasy hockey?
NHL player performances make a direct impact on the outcome of any fantasy hockey matchup. Staying up to date with the latest news and performances of your team’s players can be the difference between winning and losing.
Some notable fantasy hockey performers that flew under the radar in most drafts this year include Martin Necas (123 ADP) of the Carolina Hurricanes and Kiefer Sherwood of the Vancouver Canucks. While sleeper picks are always a great get, nothing is worse than a bust taken early on. Some of the most disappointing players of the fantasy hockey season includes Zach Hyman (28 ADP) of the Edmonton Oilers and Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars (33 ADP).
Whether you’re checking out how your current rostered players are performing or scouting for hidden gems on the waiver wire, the latest player news can help you make your next winning move this season.
Which NHL players are having breakout or comeback seasons?
Every season there are several players who have breakout years, establishing themselves as some of the best up-and-coming stars in the league. In the 2024-25 season early breakout candidates have emerged such as Dylan Strome of the Washington Capitals (on-pace for his first 100-point season) and Ivan Barbashev of the Vegas Golden Knights (on-pace for career-high in points).
Additionally, nothing beats a comeback story, and that can be said about surging veterans such as Anze Koipitar of the Los Angeles Kings, and Matt Duchene of the Dallas Stars.
