After suffering a shoulder injury that prevented him from participating in training camp, Dewar has returned from a one-game conditioning stint with the Toronto Marlies (AHL), where he scored two points (1G / 1A), and is ready to make his season debut with the Maple Leafs on Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators. The 25-year-old Dewar had five points (1G / 4A) in 17 games with the Maple Leafs last season and is expected to skate on a line with Nicholas Robertson and Pontus Holmberg.

Stanley will serve as a healthy scratch on Tuesday, ending a streak of 11 straight games. The 26-year-old Stanley is averaging 15:13 time-on-ice and has three points (1G / 2A) in 11 games this season. Haydn Fleury will draw into the lineup as Stanley's replacement.

Logan Stanley will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Fleury to re-enter the lineup. Fleury played the first four games of the season but has not played since, being sidelined for 11 straight.

The red-hot Jets, boasting an NHL-record 14-1-0 start to the season, will likely turn to Hellebuyck between the pipes on Tuesday against the New York Rangers. Partial a byproduct of stellar team play, Hellebuyck is an early-season favorite to repeat as the Vezina-trophy winner, boasting an immaculate 1.83 GAA and .935 SV% through 12 games this season (11-1-0). The Jets enter the action on Tuesday as slight +104 road underdogs against the Rangers.

After giving Shesterkin the night off on Saturday, a 4-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings courtesy of a Jonathan Quick shutout, the Rangers will revert to Shesterkin on Tuesday in a battle against the league's first-place team, the Winnipeg Jets. Shesterkin has battled some adversity lately, allowing four or more goals in two of his previous four outings (2-2-0). Even so, Shesterkin has still had an impressive campaign, posting a 2.62 GAA and .920 SV% in 10 games (6-3-1). The Rangers enter the action on Tuesday as -115 home favorites over the Jets.

The Panthers are riding a seven-game winning streak and will turn to Knight between the pipes for the third time in eight games. The 23-year-old Knight has been serviceable between the pipes in limited action for the Panthers this season, posting a 2.79 GAA and .902 SV%. The Panthers enter the action on Tuesday as -142 home favorites against a New Jersey Devils club that was shut out 1-0 by the San Jose Sharks in their most recent contest.

Ullmark has only played two of the previous four games for the Senators. He has had trouble establishing himself in his first season in Ottawa, being outplayed at times by Anton Forsberg. However, he will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 31-year-old Ullmark has a 2.87 GAA and .890 SV% in eight appearances this season (3-4-0). The Senators enter the action on Tuesday as +112 road underdogs against a Maple Leafs club without Auston Matthews (upper body) for a fourth consecutive game.

With the Maple Leafs riding a three-game winning streak, Stolarz will likely return to the crease on Tuesday after having the night off in their previous game. Stolarz has been solid all season, posting a 2.00 GAA and .930 SV% in 10 games (6-2-2), but has somehow outperformed those stats in his previous three games (2-0-1), allowing only three combined goals and posting a .964 SV%. The Maple Leafs enter the action on Tuesday as -123 home favorites against an Ottawa Senators club that has scored only six goals in their past three games (1-2-0).

Ostapchuk played the last six games for Ottawa but has been sent down to the Belleville Senators (AHL). The 21-year-old Ostapchuk had five points (1G / 4A) in six games with Belleville earlier this season.

Steeves is an undrafted 24-year-old from St. Paul, Minnesota with seven games of NHL experience in his career. He has become an offensive standout at the AHL level, with 12 points (9G / 3A) in 10 games with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) this season.

Hutton will take a seat on Monday after playing in each of the last two games. Kaedan Korczak will draw into the lineup in Hutton's place.

Korczak will make his first appearance since October 30th. He'll take the place of Ben Hutton, who is a healthy scratch. Korczak has zero goals and two assists in four games this season.

Jost will draw into the lineup in place of Seth Jarvis, who is out with an upper-body injury. Jost scored three goals and added three assists in 43 games with the Sabres last season. He signed one-year deal worth $775K with Carolina in the off-season.

Jarvis was a late scratch on Monday with his absence not being announced prior to warmups. We should receive an update on his status ahead of Wednesday's game in Utah. Tyson Jost will draw into the lineup in his place.

Spencer Martin was the starting goalie for the Hurricanes on Saturday, a 6-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, snapping an eight-game winning streak. As such, the Hurricanes will quickly revert to the services of Kochetkov between the pipes on Monday in a contest against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has been solid for the Hurricanes this season, especially establishing himself since the injury to Frederik Andersen (lower body), posting a 2.51 GA and .896 SV% in eight games (7-1-0). The Hurricanes enter the action on Monday as -149 road favorites against a Golden Knights club without Mark Stone for a second straight game.

Kuemper has only played one of the previous three games for the Kings but will return to the crease on Monday against the Calgary Flames. Putting aside an ugly outing in the third game of the season when Kuemper allowed eight goals on 41 shots (.805 SV%) in an 8-7 loss to the Ottawa Senators, Kuemper has allowed three or fewer goals in all seven games this season (4-1-2), posting a solid .918 SV%. The Kings enter the action on Monday as -133 road favorites against a Calgary Flames club that has scored three or fewer goals in each of their previous 12 games (4-4-4).

Stezka was reassigned to Coachella Valley to get a start over the weekend after backing up Joey Daccord on Friday night. With Philipp Grubauer dealing with an undisclosed injury, Stezka is likely to serve as the backup once again for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jackets. Stezka has a 2-5-0 record and an .894 SV% in seven AHL games this season.

Grundstrom will take a seat on Monday as Will Smith (maintenance) draws back into the lineup. Grundstrom has no goals and three assists in 14 games with the Sharks this season.

On the tail end of a back-to-back, the Sharks were contemplating taking Celebrini out of the lineup for a maintenance day. The 18-year-old rookie has been impressive early in his first season, despite being limited to only four games due to injury, with four points (3G / 1A). The Sharks have been liberal about resting their young talent early in the season, including resting 19-year-old Will Smith last night.
