Adam Ruzicka is expected to be a healthy scratch as Duehr will re-enter the Flames lineup on Wednesday. Duehr has four points (1G / 3A) and 21 hits while averaging 8:11 time-on-ice through 15 games this season.

Hellebuyck is among the league's hottest goaltenders since mid-November and will return to the crease on Wednesday evening. Hellebuyck has won 10 of his last 13 games (10-1-2), allowing three or fewer goals in each contest, posting a sensational .938 SV%. The American netminder has been a big reason why the Jets have catapulted into a race for the top seed in the Central Division, and he is in for a favourable matchup against the league-worst Chicago Blackhawks.

Miller will play his first game since December 17th, when Brendan Smith drew into the lineup in favour of his. Before his absence from the lineup, Miller played 15 straight games for the Devils, tallying one point (0G / 1A), 10 blocks, and 18 hits while averaging 14:52 time-on-ice.

Hellebuyck did not play in Wednesday's 5-0 victory over the Detroit Red Wings but will return to the crease on Friday when the Jets host the Boston Bruins. Hellebuyck has been terrific lately, allowing two or fewer goals in 10 of his last 11 games (8-2-1) while posting a dazzling .939 SV%. The Jets are among the hottest teams in the league this month, losing only two of nine games in December (7-1-1), yet are slight +105 home underdogs against a Bruins team that has lost three of their last four contests (1-2-1).

Andrei Kuzmenko will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Di Giuseppe to return to the lineup. Di Giuseppe has eight points (3G / 5A), 17 penalty minutes, and 42 hits while averaging 13:35 time-on-ice through 29 games this season.

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).

Pearson left the Canadiens game Saturday vs. Buffalo after just 2:50 TOI due to an upper-body injury and was placed on the Injured Reserve Wednesday with expectations to be out for 4-6 weeks. The 31-year-old left-winger had been attempting to put together his first full season since 2017-18 after just 14 games last year. He had four goals, four assists, 47 SOG, 13 PIMs and a -5 plus/minus in 27 games prior to his injury.

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.

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.
