Ingram will continue to lock down the Coyotes' crease as he makes his third straight start in the first game after Arizona's All-Star break. The 26-year-old was considered somewhat of an All-Star snub as he's broken out in his third NHL season with a 17-11-1 record, 2.61 GAA, .916 SV%, and five shutouts. He'll face the Vegas Golden Knights, who are riding a high after snapping Edmonton's 16-game win streak Tuesday and have won six of their last eight contest.

Poitras missed the Bruins' previous game before the All-Star break due to the injury and did practice in full on Sunday, but the team and Poitras have opted for surgery to repair his injured shoulder, bringing a premature end to his rookie season. The 19-year-old rookie left the Bruins briefly in December to attend this year's World Jr Tournament and has made a solid impact in his rookie season with five goals and 15 points in 33 games played.

Mrazek will continue his reign over the Blackhawks crease on Wednesday, starting for the third straight game. The Czech netminder has played exceptionally lately but has failed to receive any goal support from his teammates. In Mrazek's last three starts (0-3-0), he has allowed two goals or fewer in each game, posting an excellent .946 SV%, but the Blackhawks have been outscored 6-0 in that time. The Blackhawks enter Wednesday's matchup against the Minnesota Wild as +180 home underdogs.

Maroon left January 27th's game against the Ducks after just four minutes of ice-time due to the back injury and did not return. The four-to-six week time-line puts him on track to return near the end of March.

Tampa Bay returns to the ice from the All-Star break on Wednesday and will turn to Vasilevskiy between the pipes for his fifth straight start. The 29-year-old Vasilevskiy has won seven of his last eight and three in a row, his most consistent stretch of wins this season. Despite the victories, Vasilevskiy has been unsensational, allowing three goals in each of his last three games and posting a pedestrian .882 SV%.

Smith has played in all but four games for Dallas in 2023-24 but will head to the press box as a healthy scratch Wednesday as he is replaced by Ty Dellandrea vs. Toronto.

Hanley has been a healthy scratch for the Stars' previous three games but will draw back into the lineup Wednesday vs. Toronto in place of Nils Lundkvist.

Dellandrea was a healthy scratch for the Stars' previous three games but will draw back into the lineup Wednesday vs. Toronto instead of Craig Smith.

Wedgewood takes the crease for the first time in five games as he will give Jake Oettinger a rest on the second half of a back-to-back Wednesday. The 31-year-old backup has won this season despite his mediocre counting stats with his 13-4-4 record, 2.98 GAA and .899 SV%. He heads back to his hometown to take on the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have lost six of their last ten games but are ninth in the NHL in goals per game (3.42).
