Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Jets’ loss to the Lightning on Saturday. He lost both games of their back-to-back while allowing three goals in each and posting a .905 SV%.

Smith, 27, was a second round pick (No.54 overall) back in 2007 and tonight he’ll make his long-awaited NHL debut.

He was 5-8-0 with a 2.57 GAA and .911 SV% with the Rampage and is risky option tonight
Jooris was a healthy scratch for the last four games and seven of the last eight contests, but will draw in for Lawson Crouse (lower-body) tonight in Calgary. Jooris played for Calgary in the first two years of his career, collecting a total of 16 goals and 21 assists (37 points) in 119 games.
Crouse is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and is not in Calgary with the team. Crouse will not play Tuesday either, but will be evaluated over the next few days and could join the team in Los Angeles on Thursday. Crouse will be replaced by Josh Jooris in the lineup tonight.

Schneider allowed three goals on 37 shots in the Devils’ loss to the Sharks on Sunday. Schneider was under siege from puck-drop and stood tall as long as he could against a talented Sharks team. Through the first four starts of February, Schneider is 2-1-1 with a 2.25 GAA and .931 SV% and is a must-start tonight.
Malkin has missed the last seven games with a lower-body injury, but he skated on the third line in Monday's practice as well as taking reps on the top power play unit, so all signs point towards him playing tomorrow. However, Mike Sullivan listed him as a game-time decision so monitor his status in tomorrow's morning skate.
Vatanen has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury, but head coach Randy Carlyle said that he will be available for Tuesday’s game in Minnesota. Expect either Brandon Montour or Shea Theodore to be a healthy scratch with Vatanen returning.
Johnson allowed two goals on 33 shots in the Flames’ win in Pittsburgh last Tuesday. Win and you’re in, so Johnson will start again tonight vs. the Coyotes. The 30-year-old has gone 9-7-0 on home ice this season and has gone 2-0-0 with a 0.99 GAA and .959 SV% in his first two starts against the Coyotes this season.
