Marchand took the ice for warmups but was a late scratch against the Blackhawks on Sunday afternoon. However, he was on the ice for the Bruins morning skate on Tuesday and should play despite being labeled as a game-time decision.
Hutchinson allowed three goals on 36 shots in the Jets win in Dallas on February 24th. With Steve Mason out with 2-3 weeks with a knee injury, Hutchinson is back up with the Jets and is expected to start tonight in Nashville. The 28-year-old has gone 2-0-0 while stopping 56 of 60 shots (.933 SV%) in his only two NHL starts this season.
Olofsson was in the lineup for the last three games, but he will be scratched tonight with Nick Seeler (biceps) returning to the lineup. Olofsson is still searching for his first goal of the 2017-18 season.
Seeler has missed the last three games with a biceps injury, but will replace Gustav Olofsson tonight vs. the Avalanche. The 6-foot-2, 200 lbs. defenseman has picked up two assists in 11 games since being recalled from Iowa (AHL).
Niemi allowed two goals on 34 shots in the Canadiens shootout loss in Tampa Bay on Saturday. With Charlie Lindgren starting last night, the Canadiens will turn to Niemi again tonight. Niemi has gone 2-0-3 with a 1.73 GAA and .951 SV% in his last five starts, but has a tough matchup with the Stars in town.
Lethonen allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Stars loss in Pittsburgh on Sunday. In three starts since Ben Bishop got hurt, Lehtonen has gone 1-2-0 despite allowing just four goals on 89 shots (.955 SV%). Tonight he faces the Canadiens, who are on the tail-end of a back-to-back. Lehtonen has gone 8-6-1 with a 1.83 GAA and .932 SV% on the road this year.
Dubnyk allowed three goals on 27 shots in the Wild’s loss in Edmonton on Saturday. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Dubnyk, who is 3-2-0 with a 2.89 GAA and .904 SV% in his last five starts. Tonight he will look for revenge against the Avalanche—he is 0-2-0 with an ugly 8.47 GAA and .776 SV% against Colorado this season.
Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Lightning’s win over the Rangers last Thursday. He was given Saturday night off, so he will be well rested coming into tonight’s game vs. the Senators.

Johnsson, 23, was a seventh round pick in 2013 and could make his NHL debut on Wednesday. Johnsson has ripped up the AHL this season, leading the Marlies with 54 points (26G / 28A) in 54 games this season.
With Nikita Zaitsev battling an illness, Rosen has been summoned from the AHL, where he has picked up 17 points (1G / 16A) in 50 games. He had one assist in four games with the Maple Leafs earlier this season.
Ullmark has gone 20-11-4 with a 2.44 GAA and .923 SV% in 42 games with Rochester this season. He stopped 44 of 45 shots in a wing effort in his only start with the Sabres this season. Ullmark is the Sabres’ goalie of the future and could get a few starts down the stretch.
Quick was pulled after he allowed four goals on 29 shots in the Kings loss to the Blues on Saturday. Quick has won three of his last five starts while posting a 2.78 GAA and .913 SV% and draws a nice matchup tonight with the Canucks in town on the tail-end of a back-to-back.
Despite dealing with kidney stones, it looks like Desharnais will give it a go tonight vs. the Hurricanes. He will centre the fourth line though, so he has no fantasy relevance.
Howard gave up four goals on 32 shots in the Red Wings loss to the Golden Knights last Thursday. Howard will be back in net after Jared Coreau started on Friday. Howie has lost five starting while giving up 15 goals on 146 shots (.897 SV%). He is a risky start until the 2018-19 season.
Motte will replace Jussi Jokinen on the tail-end of a back-to-back and is still searching for his first point with the Canucks. Motte will likely skate on the fourth line.
Jokinen, who has been skating with the Sedin twins , has picked up two goals in four games since being acquired the Canucks. Tyler Motte will take his spot in the lineup and either Jake Virtanen and Sam Gagner should skate with the Sedin’s.

Jones has been on an extended run in the Sharks crease and comes in having won three of his last five starts while turning away 106 of 114 shots (.930 SV%). He is a must-start vs. a Red Wings team that is on a six-game losing streak. Jones stopped 43 of 44 shots in a 2-1 shootout loss in his first start vs. Detroit.
