Silovs has not played since October 15th, serving as the backup to Kevin Lankinen for the previous five games, but after a 4-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday, the Canucks will return to the Latvian netminder between the pipes. Silovs was the opening-night starter for the Canucks, but after posting a 4.50 GAA and .827 SV% in his only two outings (0-1-1), Lankinen was able to take control of the crease in Vancouver. The Canucks enter the action on Wednesday as -119 home favorites against a New Jersey Devils squad that snapped a four-game losing skid in that last outing, a 6-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks.
The Oilers lost Connor McDavid early in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets and will likely switch to Pickard between the pipes for the second time in the last three games. The 32-year-old Pickard has been serviceable in limited action this season but has been notably impressive in his last two outings (2-0-0), saving 49 of 53 shots (.925 SV%). The Oilers will be without Connor McDavid for the next two to three weeks and will face off against a Nashville Predators team with points in each of their last four games (3-0-1).
Tampa Bay, with Vasilevskiy between the pipes the last two games (2-0-0), have been stout defensively, outscoring their opposition 6-2. The 30-year-old Vasilevskiy has had up and down stretches to start the 2024-25 season but is amid his best two-game stretch thus far, posting a 0.95 GAA and a .971 SV% in the two victories. Tampa Bay enters the action on Wednesday as -112 road favorites against an injury-depleted Colorado Avalanche squad that will have Kaapo Kahkonen in their crease for the first time this season.
With Kaapo Kahkonen making his Avalanche debut and Alexandar Georgiev backing up on Wednesday, Justus Annunen finds himself as the odd man out of Colorado's goaltending trio vs. Tampa Bay. Annunen has nothing to worry about after starting the season as Colorado's best goaltender with his 4-1-0 record, 2.48 GAA and .905 SV%. He is expected to be dressed for their next contest.
Tyson Barrie and Jake Bean will both enter the Flames' lineup on Wednesday, replacing healthy scratched Joel Hanley and Daniil Miromanov. The 26-year-old Bean has been productive from the blue line this season, scoring three points (1G / 2A) in six games.

Despite losing three straight, the Flames will continue their goalie rotation, with Wolf getting his fifth start of the season in their 10th game. Wolf is sporting a solid 3-1-0 record but has allowed three or more goals in three of four contests despite an impressive 2.74 GAA and .924 SV%. The Flames enter the action on Wednesday as +106 road underdogs against the Utah Hockey Club, losers of six of their last seven games.
Colton played 15:00 time-on-ice before exiting Monday's 5-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks due to a lower-body injury.

Utah HC will attempt to snap a four-game losing skid on Wednesday and turn to Ingram between the pipes. Ingram has lost four of his last five outings (1-2-2), allowing three or more goals four times, and posting an ugly .865 SV%. After a 3-0-0 start to the season, Utah has only won once in their last seven contests (1-4-2). They enter the action on Wednesday as -116 home favorites against a Calgary Flames club that has been outscored 14-5 during a three-game losing streak (0-3-0).
