Cooley was excellent in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks, saving 36 of 39 shots (.923 SV%), and will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. The 28-year-old Cooley has won three of his last four starts (3-0-1), posting a 2.42 GAA and .925 SV% in those outings. That said, the Flames enter Tuesday's contest as sizeable +211 road underdogs against a Stars team that handily defeated them 6-1 in a game last month.
With only six games remaining in the regular season, the Blues' playoff hopes are dwindling, but they will continue their late-season push on Tuesday, turning to Hofer to tend the twine. The 25-year-old Hofer was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 26 of 28 shots (.929 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche. He has allowed two or fewer goals in all but two of his last 12 games (9-1-2), posting an impressive 1.71 GAA and .941 SV%. The Blues enter Tuesday's contest as +136 home underdogs in a rematch against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche.
Philipp Grubauer is sidelined with a lower-body injury, so the Kraken will be forced to turn to Daccord for a tough matchup in Minnesota on Tuesday. Daccord entered Monday night's game in Winnipeg in place of the injured Grubauer, allowing two goals on 12 shots in the relief appearance. Daccord is winless in his last five appearances with his last victory coming back on March 15th. He's posted an 0-4-1 record and a dreadful .851 SV% in that span. Unfortunately for Daccord, things won't be getting any easier on Tuesday, as the Kraken enter action at +200 on the money line.
Barkey will slot right back into the lineup after sitting out Sunday's game. Carl Grundstrom will sit in his place. The 20-year-old Barkey has played in 34 games this season as a rookie, tallying five goals and nine assists.
Grundstrom will take a seat on Tuesday in favour of Denver Barkey. Grundstrom has nine goals and four assists in 46 games this season.
Bernard-Docker will be the odd-man out on Tuesday as Justin Faulk returns from a lower-body injury. Bernard-Docker has appeared in 61 games this season, tallying one goal and four assists.
Faulk has not played in Detroit's previous two games due to a lower-body injury, but will return on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 34-year-old Faulk is averaging 19:56 time-on-ice and has three points (1G / 2A) in 12 games since joining the Red Wings at the trade deadline.
Engstrom will slot into the lineup in place of Kaiden Guhle, who was a surprise scratch on Tuesday. He'll skate with Arber Xhekaj on the Habs' third pair.
Engstrom was a surprise scratch on Tuesday night, with the Habs not announcing his absence prior to warmups. Adam Engrstrom will draw into the lineup in their place.
Gallagher was a surprise scratch along with Joe Veleno on Tuesday night, with the Habs not announcing their absence prior to warmups. Kirby Dach and Alexandre Texier will draw into the lineup in their place.

The Lightning are on the tail-end of a back-to-back on Tuesday, so they will turn to Johansson between the pipes for their road matchup against the Senators. Johansson's last start came back on March 29th when he allowed just two goals on 31 shots in a 3-2 win over the Predators. The 30-year-old Johansson brings an 11-9-2 record and an .886 SV% into Tuesday night's matchup in Ottawa, where the Lightning enter action at +110 on the money line.
Markstrom has seen his playing time dwindle of late, but will get the opportunity to make a second consecutive start when the Devils host the Flyers on Tuesday. Devils head coach Sheldon Keefe will understandably stick with the hot hand after Markstrom delivered a shutout performance in Montreal on Sunday. The 36-year-old goaltender carries a 23-18-1 record and an .885 SV% into Tuesday night's matchup, where the Devils enter action at -120 on the money line.
Samuel Montembeault has been an afterthought in Montreal lately, with Jakub Dobes and Jacob Fowler leading the way between the pipes. The 24-year-old Dobes was solid in his previous outing, saving 35 of 38 shots (.921 SV%) in a 4-3 shootout win over the New Jersey Devils. It remains unclear which netminder the Canadiens will rely upon in the postseason, but Dobes is making his case, posting an outstanding 1.68 GAA and .949 SV% in his last seven games (6-1-0). The Canadiens enter Tuesday's contest as sizable -205 home favourites against a Florida Panthers team that has been outscored 14-6 in their last two games (0-2-0).
Swayman has continued his excellent play, but the Bruins' struggles offensively have hindered his effectiveness. The 27-year-old Swayman saved 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in his most recent outing, but did not receive enough goal support, losing 3-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning. He has lost three of his last five games (2-3-0) despite posting a serviceable 2.60 GAA and .906 SV%. The Bruins enter Tuesday's contest as +166 road underdogs against the Carolina Hurricanes team, coming off a disappointing 6-3 loss to the Ottawa Senators.
Gibson was a fourth-round pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft by the Washington Capitals that has yet to play an NHL game. The 26-year-old has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL, where he has a 2.79 GAA and .907 SV% in 22 games (9-8-3). Gibson was recalled for precautionary reasons in case Charlie Lindgren (undisclosed) is not able to suit up as Logan Thompson's backup.
Some good fortune and two outstanding games from Vladar have catapulted the Flyers into third place in the Metropolitan Division, and they will look to solidify their positioning on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. The 28-year-old Vladar will return to the crease on Tuesday, looking to build on the 0.98 GAA and .951 SV% he has in his last two games (2-0-0). The Flyers enter Tuesday's contest as +108 road underdogs against a surging Devils team that is 2-0-1 in its last three games.
Cooley was excellent in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks, saving 36 of 39 shots (.923 SV%), and will likely return to the crease on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. The 28-year-old Cooley has won three of his last four starts (3-0-1), posting a 2.42 GAA and .925 SV% in those outings. That said, the Flames enter Tuesday's contest as sizeable +211 road underdogs against a Stars team that handily defeated them 6-1 in a game last month.
