Tarasov allowed four goals on 38 shots (.895 SV%) as he picked up his fourth straight loss in a defeat to Philadelphia in his previous game. The 23-year-old has been leaned on heavily lately and played well despite what his 2-7-1 record may show, as he has a .913 SV% and 3.13 GAA. He will hope for better fortunes against the Chicago Blackhawks, who have lost their last eight games and are last in the NHL in goals per game with 2.26.
Tarasov allowed only one goal on 33 shots (.970 SV%) but still managed to pick up his fourth straight loss in a hard-fought defeat to the Dallas Stars in his last start. The Blue Jackets' third goalie has been their best netminder by a mile, with his .915 SV%, 3.03 GAA and 2-6-1 record. He will take on the Philadelphia Flyers, who have lost five of their last six games after a 6-3 defeat to the Rangers in their last game.
Tarasov allowed four goals on 39 shots (.897 SV%) to pick up his third straight loss in a defeat to the league leading Boston Bruins in his last start.

He will face the Dallas Stars, who are coming off a 5-4 overtime loss but are fourth in the NHL in goals per game (3.63).
Larkin awkwardly took a puck to the arm/hand during Tuesday's matchup vs. Carolina and will be forced to miss Wednesday's game as he is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

DeBrincat has point in five straight games (1G/4A) but is a game-time decision Monday as Ottawa hosts Anaheim Monday. If the 24-year-old is forced to miss some time, it will be a big loss for the Senators, as he has seven goals, 22 points, 93 SOG and 12 PPP through 27 games this season.
