Lindell, 21, failed to record a point in four games with Dallas and since the Stars are off until after the All-Star break, they’ve sent Lindell back to Texas. He has 25 points (7G / 18A) in 42 games with the AHL Stars.
Schlemko was listed as a questionable because of an illness, but he took part in the morning skate and will play. Schlemko has three assists in his last two games and has 12 points (4G / 8A) in 41 games this season.
Lack turned aside 33 of 35 shots in the Hurricanes win over the Flames on Sunday. He has won three of his last five starts while posting a 2.38 GAA, .923 SV% and one shutout. He has either played really well or really poorly and tonight has the makings of a poor outing. The NHL’s hottest team is in town, so I can guarantee there are better options out there.
Crawford stopped all 25 shots that he faced in the Blackhawks shutout win over the Blues on Sunday. Crawford’s last 10 games have been something to marvel at—he is 9-1-0 with a 1.40 GAA, .958 SV% and two shutouts. HIs seven shutouts this season lead the NHL and he draws a strong matchup tonight in Carolina.
Andersen allowed two goals on 24 shots in the Ducks win over Dallas on January 15th. John Gibson started the last three games, but Andersen will go tonight in Boston. He has won his last two starts while stopping 46 of 49 shots (.939 SV%). Andersen still sits below .500 on the year and has struggled on the road, going 2-7-2 with a 2.65 GAA and .908 SV%.
Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 16 shots in the Jets loss to New Jersey on Saturday. Despite losing three in a row and allowing a combined eight goals in those games, he will start again tonight vs. the Coyotes. Hellebuyck dropped his first start against Arizona and comes in at 7-6-0 with a 2.39 GAA and .919 SV% on home ice.
Pirri will be a healthy scratch once again on Tuesday. The Panthers are reportedly listening to offers on Pirri, but not actively shopping him. The Panthers have won the last two games, so there really is no reason to change their lineup.
Kunitz will miss his third consecutive game with a lower-body injury. With Kunitz out again, Matt Cullen is expected to skate on the Penguins top line with Sidney Crosby and Patric Hornqvist.
Adam Larsson and David Schlemko are listed as questionable because of illnesses, so the Devils have recalled Gragnani to play. Gragnani did not have a point in four games with the Devils earlier in the year, but has 15 assists in 28 games with Albany this year.
The Devils have two defensemen questionable for Tuesday’s game, so they’ve sent Kalinin to Albany so they could recall a defenseman.
Fleury was banged up for four goals on 32 shots, but still walked away with the win over the Canucks on Saturday afternoon. With the win, Fleury has now won three in a row on home ice and is 11-5-2 with a 2.49 GAA and .918 SV% at CONSOL Energy Center this season. Tonight he faces a Devils team that has rattled off four victories in a row.
Bennett’s return to the lineup did not last long. He finds himself back on IR and won’t play until after the All-Star break. With Bennett out, the Penguins have recalled Scott Wilson from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL).
Wilson, 23, had one assist in four games with the Penguins earlier in the season and leads Wilkes-Barre/Scranton with 34 points (20G / 14A) in 32 games this season. He is expected to be in the lineup on Tuesday with Beau Bennett back on IR.
Jensen was recalled for Monday’s game, but did not get into the lineup. He has been sent down to play with Grand Rapids over the NHL All-Star break.
Tangradi played just 6:55 TOI in his Red Wings debut on Monday and has been sent down to play with Grand Rapids over the NHL All-Star break. He currently leads the Griffins with 31 points on the year.
Andersson was sent down prior to Monday’s game in Brooklyn, but has been recalled for the All-Star break. There’s no word if another roster move will be made after the break.
Carr was injured early in Monday’s game in Columbus. He left after playing just 3:32 and is questionable for Tuesday’s game in Montreal. If he can’t play, expect Jacob De La Rose to play.
Barkov, 20, was the second overall pick in the 2013 draft. He has collected 30 points (12G / 18A) in 38 games this season. In his first three NHL seasons, Barkov has 90 points (36G / 54A) in 163 career games.
Schneider allowed one goal on 23 shots in the Devils win in Winnipeg on Saturday. Schneider has won four straight games while posting a 2.50 GAA, .936 SV% and one shutout. On Tuesday, Schneider will make his second start of the season vs. the Penguins—in the first meeting he stopped all 21 shots that he faced in a 4-0 shutout win.
Varlamov stayed in Colorado to deal with the civil suit against him from his ex-girlfriend. With Varlamov not going on the trip, Calvin Pickard is expected to start both games of the back-to-back and Roman Will has been called up to serve as his backup.
