Peeke has posted five goals and seven assists (12 points) in 21 games with Cleveland (AHL) this season and was called-up after Zach Werenski suffered a shoulder injury. He is expected to make his NHL debut on the third-pair with Vladislav Gavrikov as his partner.
Korpisalo allowed two goals on 31 shots in the Blue Jackets win over the Penguins on Friday. Elvis Merzlikins started Saturday, so Korpisalo comes into Tuesday's game playing great and well-rested. Korpisalo has won five of his last six starts while posting a 2.16 GAA, .920 SV% and one shutout. Tonight he takes on a Coyotes team that has lost four of their last six (2-2-2) while scoring just 2.33 goals per game.
Peeke, 21, was a second-round pick (No.34 overall) in 2016 and turned pro this year after three years at Notre Dame. The 6-foot-3, 198 lbs. defenseman has 12 points (5G / 7A) in 21 AHL games this year and could make his NHL debut with Zach Werenski out for at least one month.
DiPietro has gone 7-4-1 with a 2.44 GAA and .913 SV% in his first 13 AHL starts this year. The 20-year-old, former third-round pick has received his first call-up of the season because Jacob Markstrom has been granted a leave of absence to go to Sweden for his father's memorial service. DiPietro likely won't play a game but should serve as Thatcher Demko's backup on Tuesday.
Rask stopped 33 of 34 shots in the Burins win in Ottawa on Wednesday. With Jaroslav Halak facing the Rangers on Friday, Rask will take on the Canadiens for the second time this season. He has historically struggled with Montreal and allowed five goals on 31 shots in a 5-4 loss in their first meeting. This time around, the Habs come in on the tail-end of a back-to-back and are winless in their last seven.
Korpisalo stopped all 25 shots that he faced in the Blue Jackets shutout win over the Senators on Monday. Korpisalo is red-hot right now, winning four in a row while stopping 102 of the 110 shots (.927 SV%) that he faced. In his first start against the Flyers, Korpisalo surrendered six goals on 45 shots in a 7-4 loss (Oct.26).
Bergeron's lower-body issue continues to linger and will cost him at least two more games. The injury didn't seem to slow him down at all, as he picked up five assists and seven shots in two games since returning from a two-game absence. David Krejci will be back on the top line and Charlie Coyle will be back on PP1 with Bergeron out.
Rask allowed four goals on 36 shots in the Bruins win over the Wild on Saturday. Rask quickly bounced-back from a three-game losing skid by winning four straight while stopping 122 of 131 shots (.931 SV%). In his first start against the Senators, Rask stopped 30 of 32 shots in a 5-2 win (Nov.2).
Korpisalo allowed four goals on 26 shots in the Blue Jackets win over the Red Wings last Thursday. Elvis Merzlikins gave him a breather on Saturday but Korpisalo is set to start for the eighth time in 10 games on Monday. After back-to-back terrible outings to end October, Korpisalo has settled in in November, going 4-3-0 with a 2.58 GAA and .913 SV% in seven starts. Tonight he faces a Senators team that has won five of their last six while scoring 3.00 goals per game.
Arvidsson was cross-checked by Robert Bortuzzo on Saturday night and will miss at least one month. With Arvidsson out long-term, Kyle Turris could move back into the top-6 and the Predators will likely recall a forward from Milwaukee (AHL).
Bergeron has missed the last two games but is expected to play vs. the Sabres. Bergeron will likely replace Brett Ritchie, who is dealing with an infection and comes in with six goals and five assists (11 points) in his last nine games.
