The Ducks will unsurprisingly stick with Dostal between the pipes when they host the Kraken on Tuesday. The 25-year-old Czech netminder collected his 20th victory of the season in his last outing, stopping 28 of the 31 shots he faced in a 4-3 win over the Golden Knights on Sunday. It was the seventh win in eight starts for Dotsal, who has posted a .930 SV% over that stretch. He and the Ducks enter action on Tuesday at -135 on the money line.

Grubauer will get the call between the pipes for the 19th time this season when the Kraken travel to Anaheim on Tuesday.

Grubauer carries an 11-5-3 record and a .919 SV% into Tuesday's game, where the Kraken enter action at +115 on the money line.

Douglas has not appeared in a game since December 27th, though he could see some additional playing time in the short-term with both Anthony Cirelli and Nick Paul out with injuries. Douglas has zero goals and two assists in 27 games this season.

Finley will slot back into the lineup on Tuesday after sitting out the Sunday's outdoor game against the Bruins. Finley has two goals and one assist in 20 games this season.

Crozier will take a seat on Tuesday as the Lightning are opting to return to dressing just six defencemen. Crozier has one goal and nine assists in 34 games this season.

Helenius was drafted 14th overall by Buffalo in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. The 19-year-old Finnish forward is in his second professional season and has been impressive since making his NHL debut last month, scoring four points (1G / 3A) in seven games.

Vasilevskiy will be aiming for a seventh straight victory when he gets the nod against the Sabres on Tuesday. Vasilevskiy is fresh off a remarkable 6-5 shootout win in Sunday's Stadium Series game against the Bruins, a game which saw Vasilevskiy drop the gloves with Jeremy Swayman in the middle of a 5-1 Lightning comeback. The former Vezina Trophy winner boasts an impressive 25-7-3 record on the season to go along with a .918 SV% and 2.12 GAA. Vasilevskiy and the Lightning enter action on Tuesday at -190 on the money line.

The Sabres will turn to Ellis between the pipes for the tail-end of their back-to-back on Tuesday. Ellis' last action was a relief appearance in favour of the injured Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen back on January 27th. The 25-year-old netminder stopped 16 of the 18 shots he faced in the game as the Sabres defeated the Maple Leafs by a score of 7-4. Ellis and the Sabres enter action on Tuesday as sizable underdogs at +160 on the money line.

Zamula will take a seat on Tuesday in order to make way for Dante Fabbro's return from a lower-body injury. Zamula has appeared in 23 games this season, logging zero goals and two assists.

Fabbro has not played in over two weeks, but will return to the lineup as soon as Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. The 27-year-old defenseman is averaging 16:07 time-on-ice and has seven points (3G / 4A) in 48 games this season.

The Devils will hand Markstrom his 29th start of the season when they host the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

The 36-year-old brings a 15-12-1 record and an .881 SV% into Tuesday night's matchup, where the Devils enter action at -110 on the money line.

Bussi had a light night in his previous outing, saving 11 of 13 shots (.846 SV%), but continued his winning ways, defeating the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 in overtime. The 27-year-old first-year NHL goalie has won five straight games, posting a 1.80 GAA and .917 SV%. The Hurricanes enter the action on Tuesday as -169 home favourites against an Ottawa Senators team that extended its winning streak to four games last night with a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Linus Ullmark got the nod on Monday, so the Senators will hand Reimer the start against his former team on Tuesday. Reimer guided the Sens to a major upset in his last start, stopping 16 of the 18 shots he faced in a 5-2 win over the Avalanche last Wednesday. The 16-year-veteran has made five starts since joining the Senators in January, posting a 2-2-1 record and an .873 SV%. Ottawa enters action on Tuesday at +145 on the money line.
