Slavin missed the Hurricanes' previous game four games due to a lower-body injury and will not return to the lineup Tuesday vs. Los Angeles. The 28-year-old has three goals, 12 assists, 74 SOG, six PIMs and a +10 plus/minus through 45 games prior to the injury.
Andersen stopped 24 of 25 shots (.960 SV%) for his fifth win in six games as he beat Boston in his previous start. The 33-year-old has had an injury-riddled campaign, leading to his 10-3-0 record, 2.38 GAA and .909 SV%. He will face the Los Angeles Kings, who last their last game 5-2 to Tampa Bay but have the 10th-best Powerplay in the NHL (23.7%).
Carrier missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but will be back in the lineup vs. the Rangers on Friday. Look for Carrier, who has 16 points (11G / 5A) in 43 games this season, to skate on a line with Chandler Stephenson and Phil Kessel.
Carrier hasn't played since January 14th due to an upper-body injury but is set to return to the Golden Knights lineup Friday vs. the Rangers. The 28-year-old forward had 11 goals, five assists, 89 SOG, 18 PIMs and a +7 plus/minus through 43 games prior to the injury.
Gostisbehere had nine goals, 20 assists, 99 SOG, 28 PIMs and a -8 plus/minus through 48 games but will be forced to miss 4-6 weeks due to an upper-body injury. It is a big loss for Arizona as the defenseman was second on the team in points.
Andersen already missed a lengthy period of time this season, missing most of November and all of December and is dealing with another injury. It's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined, but expect Pyotr Kochetkov to come up from the AHL to share the crease with Antti Raanta if he misses time.
Andersen stopped 29 of 31 shots (.935 SV%) for his fourth-straight win as he beat the New York Islanders in his previous start. The 33-year-old has been fantastic since returning from a three-month injury four games ago, improving his season record to 9-3-0, 2.40 GAA and .910 SV%. He takes on the Dallas Stars, who is coming off a 3-2 loss to Buffalo but rank seventh in the NHL in goals per game (3.43).

Smith had one goal, three assists, 27 SOG, and a +3 plus/minus through nine games but was reassigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) after being a healthy scratch in each of the last two Penguin games.

Primeau saw one period of action with the Canadiens stopping six of seven shots (.857 SV%) before being sent back down to Laval (AHL) on Wednesday. The 23-year-old heads back to the AHL where he struggled prior to his promotion, with a 4-6-3 record, 3.65 GAA and .890 SV%.
Valimaki was acquired earlier in the season off waivers from Calgary and has earned himself a 1-year, $1 million contract extension. The 24-year-old has two goals, 10 assists, 41 SOG, 20 PIMs and a -10 plus/minus through 43 games this season.
Slavin missed the Hurricanes' previous game due to a lower-body injury and is doubtful to return to the lineup Wednesday vs. Dallas. The 28-year-old has three goals, 12 assists, 74 SOG, six PIMs and a +10 plus/minus through 45 games prior to the injury.
Andersen stopped 34 of 35 shots in the Hurricanes' win over the Penguins last Saturday. Since returning to the Hurricanes' crease on January 12th, Andersen has won each of his starts while stopping 55 of 58 shots (.948 SV%). Overall, he's 7-3-0 with a .903 SV% in 10 games this season. Tonight he'll face a Wild team that is on a three-game winning streak and have won 12 of their last 17 games (12-3-2).

The Hurricanes were carrying three goalies since Frederik Andersen returned but have demoted Kochetkov to the AHL and will carry Andersen and Antti Raanta moving forward. Kochetkov started off great, going 10-1-4 with a .928 SV% and three shutouts in his first 15 games. However, he was 0-3-1 with a .861 SV% in his last four games. Before getting called up, Kochetkov was 2-2-1 with a .911 SV% in the AHL.
Carrier is considered day-to-day and will miss his second game of the season due to an upper-body injury. Look for Jonas Rondbjerg to replace Carrier in the Golden Knights' bottom-6.
