Wiesblatt will take a seat on Tuesday in favour of Reid Schaefer. Wiesblatt has appeared in 33 games this season, scoring just one goal while picking up four assists.

Schaefer will immediately re-enter the lineup after sitting out Saturday's game in Buffalo. Ozzy Wiesblatt will sit in his place.

Despite giving up seven goals in Saturday's loss to the Senators, Daccord will somewhat surprisingly be back between the pipes for the Kraken on Tuesday. Kraken head coach Lane Lambert is no doubt rewarding Daccord with a vote of confidence for his strong run of play leading up to Saturday's lopsided defeat. The 29-year-old netminder had gone 6-1-0 in his previous seven starts while posting a .934 SV%. Daccord does have a good chance of getting back in the win column on Tuesday, as the Kraken enter action at -115 on the money line.

Saros will make his 49th start of the season when the Predators travel to Seattle on Tuesday. Saros was tagged with the loss in his last outing, allowing three goals on 24 shots in a 3-2 loss in Buffalo on Saturday. Nashville's franchise netminder brings a 22-19-6 record and an .891 SV% into Tuesday night's matchup, where the Preds enter action at -105 on the money line.

Harkins will immediately re-enter the lineup after sitting out Sunday's game against the Blues. Frank Vatrano will sit in his place.

Vatrano just recently returned from a nearly two-month long absence due to personal reasons. After three straight twenty goal seasons, the 31-year-old's production has plummeted this season. He has just four goals and four assists through 41 games.

Duclair was surprisingly listed as a scratch on the official roster report despite taking full part in warmups Maxim Shabanov will dress in his place.

Shabanov will draw into the lineup in place of Anthony Duclair despite not taking part in line rushes during warmups. It's his first appearance since January 31st.

Saad will take a seat on Tuesday in favour of Reilly Smith. Saad has appeared in 46 games this season, tallying three goals and five assists.

Smith will immediately re-enter the Golden Knights lineup on Tuesday after sitting out Sunday's loss to the Oilers. Brandon Saad will sit in his place.

The Golden Knights will turn to Hill between the pipes for the 17th time this season when they travel to Dallas on Tuesday. Hill was tagged with the loss in his last start, allowing three goals on 18 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Oilers on Sunday. The 29-year-old netminder owns a 6-5-3 record and an .858 SV% on the season. Hill and the Golden Knights enter action on Tuesday at +125 on the money line.

Vejmelka will be back between the pipes for Mammoth on Tuesday after getting the night off in favour of Vitek Vanecek on Monday. Vejmelka secured his league-leading 30th victory of the season in his last start, allowing four goals on 31 shots in a 5-4 overtime win in Columbus. The 29-year-old carries a 30-16-2 record into Tuesday night's matchup, where the Mammoth enter action at +125 on the money line.

Parayko will return to the lineup after missing the last five games due to back spasms. It's his first appearance since he reportedly denied waiving his no movement clause at the trade deadline, blocking a move to Buffalo. The 32-year-old Parayko is averaging 22:24 time-on-ice, recording 13 points (1G / 13A), 67 hits, and 141 blocks in 58 games this season.

Hofer was outstanding in the Blues' previous game, saving all 22 shots he faced for his career-best fifth shutout of the season in a 4-0 win over the Anaheim Ducks, and has been rewarded with another start on Tuesday against the New York Islanders. The 25-year-old Hofer has earned four of six starts since returning from the Olympic break and has been otherworldly in those outings, going 4-0-0 while posting a 1.00 GAA and .962 SV%. The Blues enter Tuesday's contest as slight +105 home underdogs against a New York Islanders team that has scored fewer than two goals in two of their last three games (1-2-0).

Heinen will re-enter the Jackets lineup on Tuesday in place of the scratched Miles Wood. Heinen has appeared in 29 games this season, registering three goals and two assists.

Pospisil will slot into the Flames' lineup on Tuesday as they look to get some fresh legs into the lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Ryan Lomberg will sit in his place.

Lomberg will slot out of the Flames' lineup on Tuesday as they look to get some fresh legs into the lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Martin Pospisil will dress in his place.

Wood will take a seat on Tuesday in favour of Danton Heinen. Wood has appeared in 44 games for the Blue Jackets this season, tallying six goals and eight assists.

The Maple Leafs have effectively played themselves out of playoff contention, losing seven straight since the Olympic break (0-5-2), and will need a heroic effort from Woll to return them to the victory column. That said, the 27-year-old Woll has been hard-pressed for strong performances lately as well, including allowing five goals on 23 shots (.783 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 6-2 loss to the New York Rangers. The Maple Leafs enter Tuesday's contest as +149 road underdogs against a Montreal Canadiens team that has scored four or more goals in five of its last six games (3-1-2).

Metsa will be the odd-man out on the Sabres back-end on Tuesday in order to make way for Logan Stanley's debut. Metsa has two goals and two assists in 33 games this season.
