The Blackhawks have won two of their last three outings, but Mrazek has not been in between the pipes for either. The Czech netminder has allowed four or more goals in three straight (0-3-0) and is riding a six-game losing skid (0-5-1). That said, Mrazek and the Blackhawks are slight -107 home favourites against an Anaheim Ducks club that has scored only six goals in their last four games (1-3-0).
Bobby Brink will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday as Deslauriers will return to the press box as a healthy scratch for the second time in the last four games. Deslauriers has three points (0G / 3A) in 86 penalty minutes in 56 games this season.
Nicolas Deslauries will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Brink to make his return to the Flyers lineup. Brink has been out of the lineup for the last two games, but has two points (2G / 0A) in his last four contests.
Atkinson has been held without a point in 15 consecutive contests and will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the San Jose Sharks. Dennis Gurianov is expected to make his Flyers debut in Atkinson's absence.
Jordan Greenway will return to the lineup from a one-game absence, sending Rousek to the press box as a healthy scratch. Rousek played the last two games for the Sabres, tallying a +1 plus/minus and one shot on goal.
Greenway did not play the last game for the Sabres due to an undisclosed ailment but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 27-year-old Greenway has 21 points (9G / 12A) in 52 games this season. In a corresponding move, Lukas Rousek will be a healthy scratch.
Last week, the Flyers acquired Denis Gurianov from the Predators for Wade Allison. Gurianov began the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL with the Milwaukee Admiral, scoring an impressive 30 points (12G / 18A) in 27 games. He was called up to the Predators mid-season and struggled to translate his skills to the NHL level, as has been the case throughout his career, scoring only two points (1G / 1A) in 14 games.
Bavaro is an undrafted 23-year-old from Lakewood Ranch, Florida. The 6'3 defenseman has spent the last two seasons playing collegiate hockey with Notre Dame, tallying 39 points (16G / 23A) in 72 combined games.
Harris has appeared in nine straight for the Canadiens but will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Jonathan Kovacevic to draw back into the lineup. Harris has been held off the scoresheet in all but one of his last 13 games, a two-point effort (1G / 1A) on February 27th.
After playing four straight for the Canadiens, Kovacevic has been a healthy scratch in the last three. He recorded one assist, a +4 plus/minus, and four hits in his last four outings.
Fabbro played only 3:28 time-on-ice before exiting Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild with an upper-body injury and is expected to miss two to three weeks. In 53 games this season, Fabbro has 12 points (2G / 10A), 59 shots, 43 hits, and 83 blocks.
Stastney spent an early portion of the season with the Predators but has spent most of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL. In 44 games with the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL), Stastney has 20 points (5G / 15A).
Gaunce has not been in the Blue Jackets lineup since January 13th but was recalled on an emergency basis on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Gaunce has spent most of the season with the Cleveland Monsters of the AHL, scoring 39 points (19G / 20A) in 46 games.
Ersson has been inconsistent lately but will return to the crease for the fourth straight game on Tuesday. In his last seven games (3-3-1), Ersson has allowed two or fewer goals five times but also allowed four or more twice. He had a forgettable performance in his last games, allowing four goals in 15 shots (.733 SV%) in an eventual 7-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. That said, the Flyers have a favourable matchup as -320 home favourites against the San Jose Sharks.
Luukkonen has started 11 of the 12 games for the Sabres and will likely return to the crease again on Tuesday night. The 25-year-old Luukkonen has been tremendous this season, a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season for the Sabres. In his last outing, Luukkonen saved 30 of 32 shots (.938 SV%) in a 3-2 win against the high-powered offence of the Edmonton Oilers. The Sabres enter action on Tuesday as -125 home favourites against the Detroit Red Wings, losers of five in a row.
Kochetkov did not play the last games for the Hurricanes but will likely return to the crease on Tuesday night. The 24-year-old netminder has allowed two or fewer goals in five of his last six games (4-2-0), including saving 23 of 25 shots (.920 SV%) in his last outing, a 4-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils. The Hurricanes enter action as -159 home favourites against a New York Rangers club that defeated the New Jersey Devils 3-1 last night.
The Senators, amid a seven-game losing skid, will likely turn to Korpisalo for the third straight time on Tuesday. Korpisalo allowed two goals on 21 shots (.905 SV%) in his last outing, a disappointing 2-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks. The Senators enter action as slight -100 home underdogs against a Pittsburgh Penguins club that has been miserable lately, being outscored 15-1 in their last three games (0-3-0).
Zamula did not play on Saturday due to an illness but should return to the lineup on Tuesday against the San Jose Sharks. The 23-year-old defender has 17 points (5G / 12A), 25 hits, and 60 blocks in 52 games.
Ostapchuk was the 39th overall pick of the Senators in the 2021 NHL Draft. The 20-year-old Ostapchuk is in his first professional season and has tallied 22 points (13G / 9A) in 56 with the Belleville Senators (AHL). He is expected to make his debut on Tuesday vs. Pittsburgh.
Bobrovsky will look to get back in the win column on Tuesday after his three-game win streak was snapped in a 2-1 loss to Philly his last time out. The 35-year-old should be in Vezina consideration at season-end as he's third in the NHL in Wins (31), second in GAA (2.29), and fifth in SV% (.918). He heads to Dallas Tuesday to take on the Stars, who are looking to extend a five-game win streak and are 2nd in the NHL in goals per game (3.62).
