Hellebuyck will return to the crease for the red-hot Jets on Tuesday as they search for their seventh straight victory. Hellebuyck has played a large part in helping the Jets skyrocket up the standings to first place in the Western Conference and has undeniably been the best goaltender in the league for the last two months, allowing fewer than three goals in 16 of his last 17 outings (13-2-2), boasting a sensational .939 SV%. The Jets are -232 home favourites on Tuesday in a favourable matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets, who have scored three or fewer goals in each of their last four games (1-1-2).

Lohrei will slide back into Boston's lineup for Tuesday's game in Arizona in place of the injured Brandon Carlo (upper-body). Lohrei has three goals and three assists in 22 games this season.

Carlo registered one assist and a plus-1 rating in 11:50 TOI before leaving Monday's game in Colorado. Mason Lohrei will draw into the lineup in his place.

After a 3-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday with Anton Forsberg between the pipes, the Senators will turn back to Korpisalo on Tuesday. Korpisalo has only one win in his last nine appearances (1-7-0), allowing four or more goals in six contests, posting an abysmal .867 SV%. The Senators are +113 road underdogs against a Calgary Flames squad coming off a disappointing 4-3 regulation loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday.

Dostal will get the nod in back-to-back for the first time since December 23rd as he will be between the pipes when Anaheim travel to Nashville on Tuesday. Dostal took the loss his last time out, allowing three goals on 28 shots enroute to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of the Red Wings on Sunday. His record on the season sits at 6-9-1 to go along with a .901 SV% and 3.50 GAA. He'll have his hands full on Tuesday with Anaheim being +190 underdogs in Nashville.

McGinn will take a seat on Tuesday in favour of Brett Leason. McGinn has one goal and one assist in 19 games this season.

Leason rejoins the Ducks' lineup after serving as a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Red Wings. He has six goals and five assists in 33 games this season.

Saros will return to the Predators' crease on Tuesday after getting Saturday night's game in Dallas off in favour of backup Kevin Lankinen. Saros took the loss his last time out, allowing five goals on 25 shots in a 6-3 defeat at the hands of the Calgary Flames. He's endured an up-and-down season to date, posting a .901 SV% to go along with his 16-14-1 record, but he's got a great chance of getting back in the win column on Tuesday with the Predators being sizable home favourites at -225 over the Ducks.

Sabourin will make his first appearance as a San Jose Shark as Kevin Labanc is the odd-man out on Tuesday. Sabourin has nine goals and four assists in 29 games with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) this season.

Labanc will sit in favour of Scott Sabourin, who will make his Sharks' debut on Tuesday. Labanc has one goal and five assists in 28 games this season.

Burroughs will return to the Sharks' lineup after missing the last two games with a lower-body injury. He has no goals and four assists in 36 games this season.

Okhotyuk will take a seat on Tuesday as Kyle Burroughs is set to return from a lower-body injury. Okhotyuk has no goals and six assists in 28 games this season.

Robertson will take the place of Noah Gregor who will miss Tuesday's game against his former team with an illness. Robertson has five goals and six assists in 24 games this season.

Sheldon Keefe mentioned earlier today there was an illness going around the Leafs' dressing room and it appears Gregor has fallen victim to it. Gregor has five goals and two assists in 37 games this season.

Talbot will return to the crease on Tuesday as the Kings attempt to snap a season-worst five-game losing skid (0-3-2). After a surprising start to the season, Talbot was among the league's top goaltenders, boasting a gaudy .933 SV% through 17 games (12-4-1), but has since fallen back to earth, losing seven of his last nine (2-5-2), posting a pedestrian .903 SV%. That said, the Kings are still -124 road favourites against a Tampa Bay Lightning team that has lost four of their last six (2-4-0).

Vasilevskiy will get an immediate shot at redemption after suffering though one of his worst starts of the season on Saturday, surrendering six goals on just 26 shots enroute to a 7-3 defeat in Boston. Vasilevskiy is yet to fully return to form following since returning from back surgery in late November, posting an uncharacteristically poor .895 SV% and a 9-9-0 record on the season. Things won't get any easier on Tuesday as the Lightning find themselves as +110 home underdogs to the Kings.

One of the hottest goaltenders in the National Hockey League will get the chance to keep things rolling on Tuesday as Joey Daccord gets the nod for the Kraken in Buffalo. Daccord has been on a remarkable run of late, earning his team at least a point in nine straight starts while posting a ridiculous .952 SV% over that span. His recent run of form has seen his SV% climb to .922 on the season. He's a -110 favourite to pick up his sixth consecutive win in Buffalo on Tuesday.

Despite an excellent performance in his last outing, Levi had the night off on Saturday but will return to the crease on Tuesday as the Sabres look for their third straight win. After allowing three or more goals in four straight games (1-2-0), posting a lousy .850 SV%, Levi returned to form in his last contest, saving 32 of 33 shots (.970 SV%) in a 6-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens. The Sabres are slight -111 home favourites against the Seattle Kraken, who have been on fire lately, winning six straight, outscoring their opposition 16-6.

Leschyshyn had three goals, three assists, eight PIMs and a +1 plus/minus in 14 games with Hartford (AHL) this season but has earned his first call up of the year to the Rangers and will replace Brennan Othmann on the active roster. The 24-year-old appeared in 35 games with Vegas and the Rangers in 2022-23 and miraculously failed to pick up a point while amassing 31 SOG, eight PIMs and a -10 plus/minus.

Cole will take a rest Tuesday as he is a healthy scratch due to maintenance as Noah Juulsen takes his place in the Canucks' lineup. Cole has appeared in every game this season for Vancouver at the age of 34 and has a goal, six assists, 32 SOG and 36 PIMs in 40 games played.
