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.
L'Esperance will appear in his second game of the season and will replace Ty Dellandrea in the bottom-6. The 25-year-old has three goals in 22 career NHL games with Dallas.
Dellandrea has impressed early in the season but will be scratched on Tuesday for what the Stars are calling a "breather." Joel L'Esperance will replace him in the Stars' bottom-6.
Brossoit allowed four goals on 38 shots in the Jets loss to the Oilers on January 24th. Tuesday will be his third start of the season and he's looking for better results than his first two outings--he allowed a combined seven goals on 79 shots (.911 SV%). He draws a tough assignment vs. a Flames team that is 4-3-1 while averaging 2.88 goals per game through eight games.
Calvert has been sidelined since January 24th and will likely miss at least a couple of more weeks. With no Calvert or P-E Bellemare, Logan O'Connor and Kiefer Sherwood are expected to remain with the Avalanche fourth line.
This is actually a promising diagnosis since it looked like Bellemare suffered a very serious injury last Thursday. With Bellemare out, Logan O'Connor should remain with the Avalanche.
Johnson has been sidelined since last Saturday after getting hurt on a hit from Jordan Greenway. Head coach Jared Bednar announced that he'll miss at least a couple of weeks on Tuesday, so look for Conor Timmins to play a more prominent role while Johnson is sidelined.
This is the first time that we've heard any sort of timetable on Francouz, who has missed the entire season to-date. It looks like Hunter Miska will continue to serve as Philipp Grubauer's backup for at least a few more weeks.
Oettinger stopped all 10 shots that he faced after replacing Anton Khudobin in the Stars' loss in Carolina on Saturday. In his first two appearances in the NHL, Oettinger has stopped 30 of the 33 shots (.909 SV%) that he's faced. On Tuesday, he'll see a Blue Jackets team that is fourth-worst in goal-scoring (2.30) right now but will get Patrik Laine making his debut tonight.
Hayden has been a healthy scratch for the last four games but will replace Christian Fischer (undisclosed) in the lineup on Tuesday. Hayden did not register a point in 9:43 TOI in his season debut.
Fischer will miss the first game of the Coyotes road-trip due to an undisclosed injury. With Fischer out, John Hayden will likely draw back into the lineup, presumably in a fourth-line role.
Binnington allowed one goal on 24 shots in the Blues' win in Anaheim on Saturday. Binnington has now won three straight games while stopping 86 of the 93 shots (.925 SV%) that he's faced. On Tuesday, he will look to stay hot against an Arizona squad that is 24th in goal-scoring (2.50 GF/gm) in their first eight games.
Grubauer allowed one goal on 20 shots in Colorado's win in Minnesota on Saturday. Hunter Miska gave him the night off on Sunday, so Grubauer will be back between the pipes tonight vs. the Wild. Grubauer has won three straight games while allowing just four goals on 71 shots (.944 SV%).
Lankinen allowed one goal on 33 shots in the Blackhawks win over the Blue Jackets on Sunday. Lankinen continues to play exceptionally well for Chicago and will make his seventh start in their last eight games. In his last five starts, Lankinen is 3-1-1 while stopping 153 of the 160 shots (.956 SV%) that he's faced.
MacKinnon left Sunday's game in the third period with a lower-body injury and head coach Jared Bednar called him week-to-week on Tuesday. With MacKinnon out on Tuesday, J.T. Compher will move up between Gabriel Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen and Sheldon Dries will draw into the lineup.
Binnington allowed one goal on 24 shots in the Blues' win in Anaheim on Saturday. Binnington has now won three straight games while stopping 86 of the 93 shots (.925 SV%) that he's faced. On Tuesday, he will look to stay hot against an Arizona squad that is 24th in goal-scoring (2.50 GF/gm) in their first eight games.
Grubauer allowed one goal on 20 shots in Colorado's win in Minnesota on Saturday. Hunter Miska gave him the night off on Sunday, so Grubauer will be back between the pipes tonight vs. the Wild. Grubauer has won three straight games while allowing just four goals on 71 shots (.944 SV%).
