Kesselring has not played the last six games due to a lower-body injury and has resumed practicing, but is still expected to miss at least one more game. The 25-year-old defenseman is averaging 15:14 time-on-ice and has zero points in 16 games.
The Canucks will look to end a miserable seven-game losing streak (0-5-2), turning to Lankinen to tend the twine against the Ottawa Senators. The 30-year-old Lankinen allowed four goals on 24 shots (.833 SV%) in his most recent start, a 5-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. He has a 3.40 GAA and .883 SV% in 22 games this season (6-11-4). The Canucks enter Tuesday's contest as +197 road underdogs against the Senators.

The Stars are coming off a 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings last night and will turn to DeSmith on Tuesday in the tail end of their back-to-back against the Anaheim Ducks. After an impressive 9-0-3 run, posting a 2.03 GAA and .929 SV%, DeSmith has lost four of five (1-2-2), posting a pedestrian 3.01 GAA and .884 SV%. That said, he was victorious against the Ducks last month, saving 22 of 25 (.880 SV%) in an 8-3 win. The Stars enter Tuesday's contest as -116 road favorites.
Hill has not played since exiting a game on October 20th, midway through the first period, because of a lower-body injury. Few details have been provided regarding Hill's injury, but he was a full participant at practice for the first time last week and could return to the lineup as soon as Thursday. With Carter Hart (lower-body) expected to miss several weeks, Hill's impending return to the lineup couldn't come at a better time for the Golden Knights. Hill has a 2.55 GAA and .909 SV% in 117 games (68-32-10) with the Golden Knights, dating back to the 2022-23 season.
Ullmark has not played in over two weeks due to personal reasons, but appears to be nearing a return. The 32-year-old goalie has a 2.95 GAA and .881 SV% in 28 games this season (14-8-5), and it is unclear when he might be between the pipes again. The Senators signed goalie James Reimer earlier this week to add some depth in the crease during Ullmark's absence.

Mateychuk suffered an upper-body injury in his first shift of the Sunday's game and exited shortly after. The 21-year-old Mateychuk has recently been playing on the Blue Jackets' top defensive pair alongside Zach Werenski. Mateychuk is averaging 20:20 time-on-ice and has 21 points (8G / 13A) in 44 games this season.
The Ducks have regularly received horrendous goaltending in recent weeks and will hope Dostal can return to his early-season form on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. The 25-year-old Dostal began the season with a respectable 2.82 GAA and .904 SV% in his first 17 games (11-5-1), which has been followed up by a 3.34 GAA and .855 SV% in his last 12 (2-9-1). The Ducks enter Tuesday's contest as +107 home underdogs against a Stars team that defeated the Los Angeles Kings 3-1 last night, giving them points in three straight games (2-0-1).

Liam O'Brien will draw back into Utah's lineup on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs, resulting in Yamamoto heading to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 27-year-old Yamamoto is averaging 11:26 time-on-ice and has nine points (4G / 5A) in 28 games this season.
Kailer Yamamoto will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing O'Brien to re-enter the lineup against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 31-year-old O'Brien has three points (2G / 1A) in 23 games this season.
Dunne played his first game in over a week last night, but will immediately head back to the sidelines because of mid-body injury. The 27-year-old Dunne is averaging 9:31 time-on-ice and has four points (1G / 3A) in 28 games this season.
After a stellar 10-game stretch (6-4-0), posting an impressive 1.75 GAA and .934 SV%, Hofer had earned himself more playing time in the Blues' crease. That said, he finds himself in a rough stretch posting a 3.34 GAA and .877 SV% in his last three games (1-2-0), and hopes to rebound on Tuesday, tending the twine against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Blues enter Tuesday's contest as +155 home underdogs against a Hurricanes team that is 4-0-1 in their last five games.
Coleman was a late scratch on Saturday because of an upper-body injury and will miss at least two more games before he is eligible to be activated from Injured Reserve. The 34-year-old Coleman is averaging 17:00 time-on-ice, recording 21 points (13G / 8A), 105 shots, and 110 hits in 44 games this season.
Mayo played two games for the Blue Jackets this season, recording one assist, but has spent most of the season with the Cleveland Monsters (AHL). The 29-year-old defenseman had played exclusively in the AHL the previous two seasons.
Vejmelka has been excellent lately for Utah, allowing two or fewer goals in six of his last eight games (6-2-0) while posting an impressive 2.12 GAA and .920 SV%.

Utah enters Tuesday's contest as a -142 home favorite against a Toronto team on an impressive 8-0-2 run.
Jarry has missed 11 straight games since suffering a lower-body injury, but appears to be nearing a return to the crease after being activated from LTIR. The 30-year-old Jarry went 3-0-0 in three games with the Oilers before his injury, posting a 3.08 GAA and .887 SV%.
