Haymes is an undrafted forward that has spent the past two seasons in the AHL. The 22-year-old has yet to play and NHL game and has 32 points (17G / 15A) in 63 games with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) this season.
Chatfield exited Tuesday's game after only 13:54 time-on-ice due to a lower-body injury. The severity of Chatfield's injury is unclear, but the team will likely err on the side of caution with the playoffs fast approaching. The 29-year-old defenseman has 17 points (2G / 15A) in 71 games this season.
Kulikov has been added to the growing list of Panthers with season-ending injuries, after suffering a broken finger on Tuesday. The 35-year-old Kulikov ends the 2025-26 season with zero points and 22 hits through 19 games.
Kadri was limited to only 6:09 time-on-ice before exiting Tuesday's 3-1 win over the St. Louis Blues due to an upper-body injury. The severity of Kadri's injury is unclear, but with the playoffs fast approaching, Colorado has erred on the side of caution with several minor injuries over the past weeks. The 35-year-old Kadri has nine points (4G / 5A) in 16 game with Colorado since being acquired at the trade deadline.
Korczak will take a seat on Tuesday in favour of Ben Hutton. Korczak has three goals and 11 assists in 75 games this season.
Hutton will make his first appearance since March 28th when the Golden Knights visit Vancouver on Tuesday. Kaedan Korczak will sit in his place.
Smith will get the night off when the Golden Knights visit Vancouver on Tuesday in favour of Brandon Saad. Smith has 13 goals and nine assists in 67 games this season.
Saad will slot in for the first time since March 8th when the Golden Knights travel to Vancouver on Tuesday. Reilly Smith will sit in his place.
Hart seems to have established himself as the new starting netminder for the Golden Knights as he'll get the nod for a third consecutive game on Tuesday. Hart was excellent in his last appearance, allowing just a single goal on 32 shots enroute to a 5-1 win in Edmonton on Saturday. The 27-year-old netminder has appeared in 14 games this season, posting a 7-3-3 record and an .880 SV%. He's a good bet to stay in the win column on Tuesday as the Golden Knights enter action at -260 on the money line.
Juuse Saros got the nod for the front-end of Nashville's back-to-back on Monday, so it will be Annunen between the pipes tonight when the Preds travel to Anaheim. Annunen was tagged with the loss in his last start, allowing three goals on 28 shots in a 3-2 loss in Tampa Bay back on March 29th. The 25-year-old netminder has appeared in 25 games this season, posting an 8-11-2 record and an .897 SV%. Annunen and the Predators enter action on Tuesday as slight underdogs at +125 on the money line.
O'Brien will take a seat on Tuesday as the Mammoth are opting to dress seven blue-liners. Mackenzie Weegar (upper-body) will return to the lineup in his place.
Weegar has not played in Utah's previous two games due to an upper-body injury, but will return to the lineup as soon as Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers. The 32-year-old defenseman has four points (1G / 3A) in 13 games since joining Utah before the trade deadline, but he has been especially effective in recent outings, tallying three points (1G / 2A) in four games before his injury.
Vejmelka will make his league-leading 60th start of the season when the Mammoth host the Oilers on Tuesday. Utah's workhorse netminder collected his third-straight victory in his last start, allowing four goals on 23 shots in a 7-4 win in Vancouver on Saturday. Vejmelka carries a 35-19-3 record and an .897 SV% into Tuesday night's pivotal matchup against the Oilers, where the Mammoth enter action at -130 on the money line.
Rasmussen left in the second period of Tuesday's game and was unable to return. We should get an update on his status ahead of Detroit's game against the Flyers on Tuesday.
Bahl was forced to exit Tuesday's game after just 1:15 of ice time and was unable to return. We should get an update on his status ahead of Calgary's game in Colorado on Thursday.
Cooley was excellent in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks, saving 36 of 39 shots (.923 SV%), and will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. The 28-year-old Cooley has won three of his last four starts (3-0-1), posting a 2.42 GAA and .925 SV% in those outings. That said, the Flames enter Tuesday's contest as sizeable +211 road underdogs against a Stars team that handily defeated them 6-1 in a game last month.
With only six games remaining in the regular season, the Blues' playoff hopes are dwindling, but they will continue their late-season push on Tuesday, turning to Hofer to tend the twine. The 25-year-old Hofer was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 26 of 28 shots (.929 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche. He has allowed two or fewer goals in all but two of his last 12 games (9-1-2), posting an impressive 1.71 GAA and .941 SV%. The Blues enter Tuesday's contest as +136 home underdogs in a rematch against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche.
Philipp Grubauer is sidelined with a lower-body injury, so the Kraken will be forced to turn to Daccord for a tough matchup in Minnesota on Tuesday. Daccord entered Monday night's game in Winnipeg in place of the injured Grubauer, allowing two goals on 12 shots in the relief appearance. Daccord is winless in his last five appearances with his last victory coming back on March 15th. He's posted an 0-4-1 record and a dreadful .851 SV% in that span. Unfortunately for Daccord, things won't be getting any easier on Tuesday, as the Kraken enter action at +200 on the money line.
Barkey will slot right back into the lineup after sitting out Sunday's game. Carl Grundstrom will sit in his place. The 20-year-old Barkey has played in 34 games this season as a rookie, tallying five goals and nine assists.
Grundstrom will take a seat on Tuesday in favour of Denver Barkey. Grundstrom has nine goals and four assists in 46 games this season.
