Eklund did not play on Sunday due to an undisclosed injury but has a high chance to return as he is a game-time decision to the lineup on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. The talented forward is currently riding a two-game goal-scoring streak.
Wennberg's name has circulated trade rumours recently, validated on Monday night with a healthy scratch. The 29-year-old Wennberg is an impending UFA and has seen his production dip in recent years. That said, he has three points (1G / 2A) and six shots on goal in his last three games.
Brossoit will take the crease Tuesday for the first time in three games after he was spotted in the starter's crease at the morning skate. The 30-year-old backup netminder has been sensational when called upon in his first season with Winnipeg, with his 8-4-2 record, 2.28 GAA and .920 SV%. He will host the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday, who are coming off an ugly 6-1 loss to Detroit on Saturday and have dropped four of their last five contests.

Woo finds himself back with the Canucks just a few days after being sent down and will offer Vancouver defensive depth after Nikita Zadorov and Noah Juulsen were shaken up in Tuesday's loss to Colorado. The 23-year-old Woo has enjoyed a strong season with Abbotsford (AHL) up to this point, with five goals, 18 points, 41 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus.

Hellebuyck had one of his worst performances of the season on Monday, allowing five goals on 33 shots (.848 SV%) in a 6-3 loss to the Calgary Flames. The Jets will turn to Brossoit on the back end of a back-to-back Tuesday and attempt to rebound back into the win column, entering the action as -139 home favourites against a Minnesota Wild club that won an exhilarating game 10-7 against the Vancouver Canucks yesterday. Brossoit last played on February 8th, allowing four goals on 21 shots (.810 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers.
Despite having an excellent outing on Sunday, saving 31 of 33 shots (.939 SV%), Jarry allowed two late goals en route to a 2-1 regulation loss to the Los Angeles Kings and will serve as the backup to Nedeljkovic on Tuesday night. Nedeljkovic has played well lately, including a 27-save performance (.964 SV%) in his last outing, a 4-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on February 15th, the Penguins' only win in the last 12 days (1-4-0). That said, the Penguins are -130 home favourites against the New York Islanders on Tuesday night.
