Georgiev will make his second-straight start Tuesday as he looks to redeem himself after allowing four goals on 34 shots (.867 SV%) in a loss to Toronto his last time out. The 28-year-old All-Star still holds an impressive 30-14-3 record despite his below .900 SV% (.898 SV%) and 2.92 GAA. He draws the tough task of the Dallas Stars on Tuesday, who luckily are on the back end of a back-to-back after a loss to the New York Islanders on Monday.

Lyon returns to Detroit's crease on Tuesday vs. Washington after backing up in the second half of a back-to-back on Sunday. The 31-year-old has been a godsend for the playoff-hungry Red Wings', who signed a one-year contract in the offseason and is 17-8-2 with a 2.68 GAA and .916 SV%. He will face the surprisingly hot Washington Capitals on Tuesday, who are coming off a 6-3 win over Ottawa on Monday and have won four of their last five games.
Luukkonen will return to the crease for the fourth straight game on Friday evening. The 24-year-old Finnish netminder has been outstanding lately, allowing more than three goals only once in his last 15 outings (9-6-0), boasting a terrific .933 SV% and three shutouts. The Sabres are -147 road favourites heading into Friday's tilt against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
