Palat played 15:10 time-on-ice in the Devils' last contest but suffered a lower-body injury at some point and will be unavailable on Tuesday night. The Czech forward has one point (0G / 1A) in his last four games.
Nico Daws has allowed eight goals on his last 27 shots (.704 SV%), prompting the Devils and their new coaching staff to turn to Schmid between the pipes on Tuesday. Schmid entered the crease in relief in each of the last two games and saved all 18 shots he faced. That said, with Schmid struggling as a whole on the season, the Devils enter action as +109 home underdogs against a red-hot Florida Panthers club riding a five-game winning streak, including a 4-2 victory over the New York Rangers last night.
After several poor outings in mid-February, Skinner has turned in three consecutive wins and will likely return to the crease on Tuesday evening. Skinner has allowed fewer than three goals in three straight (3-0-0), including saving 24 of 25 shots (.960 SV%) in a 2-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken in his last outing. The Oilers enter action as -129 road favourites against a Boston Bruins club that defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs last night.
Hellebuyck continues his reign as the odd-on Vezina trophy favourite and will return to the crease on Tuesday after having the day off in the Jets' last contest. Hellebuyck has allowed three or fewer goals in four straight (3-1-0), including saving 32 of 35 (.914 SV%) in his last outing, a 5-3 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes. The Jets are -161 home favourites on Tuesday as they host a Kraken club playing the back end of a back-to-back.
Martin exited Saturday's 5-1 victory over the Boston Bruins after playing only 6:37 time-on-ice but will be ready to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues. Martin has been held off the scoresheet in 20 consecutive games.
Seeler exited Monday's 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues in the third period after playing 16:57. Any significance to his injury could be a tough blow for the Flyers as he has been an integral part of their defensive core and has also been a name actively circulating through trade rumours.
Mayfield has not played since February 22nd after suffering a lower-body injury and has been retroactively placed on LTIR. Before his injury, the 31-year-old defender amassed five points (0G / 5A), 66 hits, and 106 blocks in 41 games.
Jarry will likely return to the crease on Tuesday for a Penguins club that has been outscored 12-4 during a three-game losing skid. Jarry allowed four goals on 20 shots (.800 SV%) in his last outing, a 4-3 regulation loss to the Calgary Flames, including a late tally in the final minute to seal the Penguins' fate. That said, the Penguins have a favourable matchup on Tuesday and are -243 home favourites against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Simon Nemec will likely be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Smith to draw back into the lineup. Smith did not play for the Devils last night but has been quietly productive from the blueline lately, scoring four points (2G / 2A) in his last six contests.
Brendan Smith will likely draw into the lineup on Tuesday if Nemec is a healthy scratch. Nemec played 16:18 time-on-ice last night and recorded two shots on goal. The Slovak defender has been held off the scoresheet in four straight games.
Nico Daws has allowed eight goals on his last 27 shots (.704 SV%), prompting the Devils and their new coaching staff to turn to Schmid between the pipes on Tuesday. Schmid entered the crease in relief in each of the last two games and saved all 18 shots he faced. That said, with Schmid struggling as a whole on the season, the Devils enter action as +109 home underdogs against a red-hot Florida Panthers club riding a five-game winning streak, including a 4-2 victory over the New York Rangers last night.
Zack MacEwen exited Saturday's game with a lower-body injury, resulting in Chartier being recalled from the Belleville Senators of the AHL. Chartier has appeared in 34 games for Ottawa this season but has most recently played with Belleville, where he has 10 points (7G / 3A) in 12 games.
MacEwen played only 2:18 time-on-ice before exiting Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. The bruising forward was playing in his second game since being recalled last week. Rourke Chartier has been recalled from Belleville (AHL) in the interim.
Dunn was on the receiving end of a vicious hit by Martin Pospisil of the Calgary Flames in the third period and exited the contest after playing 19:02 time-on-ice. The 27-year-old Dunn is enjoying another productive season with Seattle and has six points (3G / 3A) in his last seven games. His status for Tuesday's game against the Winnipeg Jets is up in the air.
Belzile has enjoyed a productive season with Hartford (AHL), scoring 37 points (14G / 23A) in 43 games, earning himself a call-up. The undrafted 32-year-old has played 44 career NHL games, including 31 games last season with the Montreal Canadiens.
Comtois has been playing with the Chicago Wolves (AHL), where he has 12 goals and 16 assists (28 points) in 45 games. His play earned him a contract with the Hurricanes through the rest of the 2023-24 season. HE last played with the Ducks in 2022-23, posting 19 points (9G / 10A) in 64 games.
Oesterle will make his first appearance since January 25th as Dennis Gilbert draws out of the lineup. Oesterle has no goals and two assists in 21 games this season.
Gilbert will take a seat on Monday as Jordan Oesterle draws into the Flames' lineup for the first time since January 25th. Gilbert has one goal and six assists in 32 games this season.
Grubauer has taken the reigns of the Seattle crease due to strong play recently and will start for the fifth time in the last six games. Since returning from a two-month absence due to injury, Grubauer has showcased his best netminding in his Seattle tenure, boasting a .942 SV% while allowing three or fewer goals in six appearances (4-1-0). That said, Seattle is a +116 road underdog against a Calgary Flames club riding a five-game winning streak.
