Colin Miller will watch the game from the press box as a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Brendan Smith to draw back into the lineup. Miller has played all 15 games for the Devils this season since making his debut on November 16th, tallying one point (0G / 1A), 10 blocks, and 18 hits while averaging 14:52 time-on-ice.
Hellebuyck has been otherwordly lately, consistently putting together strong performances, and will search for his sixth straight win in his third consecutive start on Monday. After a lacklustre start to the season, Hellebuyck has unfathomably allowed two or fewer goals in 10 straight contests, posting a remarkable .943 SV%. Few goalies in the league have been as reliable as Hellebuyck over the last month, and he looks poised to continue his strong play as the Jets are sizeable -230 home favourites against a Montreal Canadiens team that has lost three of their last five (2-1-2).
Hellebuyck draws the Jets' crease for the fourth time in five games as he looks to extend a personal four-game winning streak after a 32 save (.941 SV%) victory over Los Angeles last start. The 30-year-old workhorse netminder has been his usual solid self again this season, with his impressive 14-6-1 record, 2.42 GAA and .916 SV%. He'll host the Colorado Avalanche, who have won two straight and are fourth in the NHL in goals per game (3.59).

Toninato was recalled from the Manitoba Moose of the AHL earlier this week but has since been placed on waivers to be reassigned to Manitoba. Toninato has six points (2G / 4A) in nine games with Manitoba this season.
Toninanto had two goals, four assists, two PIMs and a -1 plus/minus in nine games with Manitoba (AHL) and has earned his first call up of the season to Winnipeg Wednesday. The 29-year-old is entering his seventh NHL season and is expected to replace Kyle Connor (knee) in the Jets' lineup after he was placed on the Injured Reserve earlier Wednesday.
The Jets received devasting news on Tuesday as their leading goal-scorer will miss six to eight weeks with a knee injury following a collision with Ryan Strome on Sunday and has been officially placed on the Injured Reserve Wednesday. Before his injury, Connor had 28 points (17G / 11A) and 102 shots on goal in 26 games. Nikolaj Ehlers is expected to see an increase in usage during Connor's absence, including exposure to the top powerplay unit.
Jonsson-Fjallby will be the odd-man out on Tuesday as the Jets are opting to dress seven defensemen. Jonsson-Fjallby has no goals and one assist in nine games this season, playing primarily on the Jets' fourth line.

Luke Schenn will re-enter the Predators lineup on Tuesday in favour of Tyson Barrie, who will be a healthy scratch for the fourth time in the last seven games. Schenn has zero points in nine games this season but continues to play his hard-nosed brand of hockey, tallying 30 hits and 11 blocks while averaging 14:29 time-on-ice.
