Phillips has been a healthy scratch for all eight of Chicago's games so far in 2023-24 but will make his season debut Monday vs. Arizona. The 22-year-old defenseman is Chicago's 2020 fifth-round pick (141st overall) and had a goal, four assists, 16 SOG, five PIMs, and a -10 plus/minus in 16 games played in 2022-23.
Hellebuyck served as the backup for the Jets on Saturday for the second time this season as he watched Laurent Brossoit allow three goals on 29 shots in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Hellebuyck started the season uncharacteristically with a .843 SV% in his first three games (1-2-0) but has looked more like himself in his three games since (3-0-0), recording a sparkling .948 SV%. The Jets are +109 home underdogs against a New York Rangers team that ranks 17th in the league offensively (3.13 GF/GP)
Comrie had filled in as the starting goalie with Devon Levi already sidelined and recorded a 2.45 GAA and .914 SV% in three games (1-1-0) but will now be sidelined for at least a few weeks with a lower-body injury. With Levi still unavailable, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will likely take on the majority of goaltending duties for the Sabres. Devin Cooley will serve as the Sabres backup in the interim.
Comrie will be the starter ahead of the Sabres Friday night matchup against the New Jersey Devils. With Devon Levi still injured, Comrie has seen most of the action in the crease and has fared well, posting a 2.05 GAA and .923 SV% in two games (1-1-0). That said, Comrie will face his toughest assignment yet on Friday as the Sabres will visit the New Jersey Devils and their third-ranked offence (4.00 GF/GP).

Hellebuyck will look to extend his two-game winning streak as he appears to be the starting goalie for the Jets on Thursday. After an uncharacteristic start to the season, posting a .843 SV% through his first three contests (1-2-0), Hellebuyck seems to have regained his Vezina-caliber form, boasting a .933 SV% in his two games since (2-0-0). Hellebuyck and the Jets might be facing their toughest matchup of the season as they visit the high-flying Detroit Red Wings who are averaging an absurd 4.86 goals per game to start the season (5-1-1).
Anderson-Dolan was recalled from Ontario (AHL) a day after being sent down to appear in a game for the Reign while Los Angeles takes a three day break. The 24-year-old forward returns to the Kings where he has failed to pick up a point in only one appearance thus far in 2023-24. He had seven goals and 12 points in 46 games across his first full NHL season with the Kings in 2022-23.

Anderson-Dolan has been a healthy scratch for the Kings' previous four games and was assigned to Ontario (AHL) on Wednesday after failing to pick up a point in only one appearance so far in 2023-24. The 24-year-old forward returns to Ontario (AHL) for the first time this season where he last appeared in 2021-22 and had 24 goals, 47 points, and 51 PIMs in 54 games played.
Hellebuyck will start on Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues and look to improve on his uncharacteristically poor start to the season. In four games, Hellebuyck has salvaged a 2-2-0 record despite an unsightly 3.72 GAA and .878 SV%. Hellebuyck has only finished a season with a sub- .910 SV% once in his career and should be able to get back on track against a Blues team that ranks fourth-worst offensively (2.00 GF/GP). As such, the Jets enter action as -182 home favourites.
With Devon Levi still sidelined (lower-body) for at least the next two games, Comrie will get his second consecutive start for the Sabres. On Saturday, Comrie was stellar, allowing only one goal on 25 shots en route to a 3-1 victory over the New York Islanders. Despite being -178 home favourites, Comrie and the Sabres will have their work cut out for them against a Montreal Canadiens team that is off to a surprising 2-1-1 start. The Canadiens are averaging 3.25 goals per game.

Hellebuyck allowed five goals on 29 shots (.828 SV%) in a loss to Los Angeles in his previous start but will be looking to turn the tides Saturday as he takes on Edmonton. The 30-year-old workhouse has struggled out of the gate this season, with a 1-2-0 record, .843 SV% and a 4.38 GAA. He takes on the Edmonton Oilers, who have lost three of their first four games to start the season and are tied for 19th in the NHL in goals per game (2.75).
