Enroth stopped all 23 shots that he faced in the Kings shutout win over the Sabres on February 27th.

Greiss started last night, stopping 23 of 25 shots in a 3-2 win over the Panthers. They have a huge matchup with the Penguins tonight, so he could start on back-to-back games. With Jaroslav Halak out, it would be J-F Berube to get the call if Greiss doesn’t go.

Teravainen missed Tuesday's practice with an illness, but could play Wednesday vs. the Flyers. He is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game, so monitor his status during Wednesday's morning skate.

Montoya allowed one goal on 16 shots after replacing Roberto Luongo in the Panthers loss to the Bruins on March 7th.

Rask made 25 saves on 26 shots in the Bruins win over the Islanders on Saturday. Rask has gone 4-0-2 with a 2.12 GAA and .930 SV% in March.

Beaulieu practiced on Monday and took part in Tuesday’s morning skate, but is not quite ready to return to the lineup. With Beaulieu still out, look for Darren Dietz to play for a second straight game.

Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 39 shots in the Lightning’s loss in Philadelphia on March 7th. Ben Bishop started the last three games, but Vasilevskiy will go tonight vs. the Maple Leafs. It comes as no surprise. Vasilevskiy has faced the Leafs three times this season and has won all three while posting a rock-solid 1.65 GAA and .949 SV%.

Wilson will miss his second straight game with an undisclosed injury. With Wilson out, Dominick Simon will remain in the lineup. Wilson is listed as day-to-day.

Filppula suffered an upper-body injury in the Lightning’s win in Columbus on Sunday. He played just 5:03 before retiring to the dressing room and now it looks like it will cost him a least a few games. With Filppula out, Brian Boyle will centre the third line.

Kucherov left Sunday’s game in Columbus after being sucker-punched by Dalton Prout. He took part in the morning skate and will play in Toronto on a line with Steven Stamkos and Alex Killorn. Kucherov has one goal and five assists (six points) in his last seven games.

Helm missed Sunday’s game vs. the Red Wings, but took part in Tuesday’s morning skate. Monitor Helm’s status during the pre-game warmups—if he can’t play, either Tomas Jurco or Teemu Pulkkinen will re-enter the lineup.
