Greaves will start Tuesday in Philadelphia.

Greaves was excellent in his previous game, saving 21 of 22 shots (.955 SV%), but received no goal support, losing 1-0 to the New York Islanders. The strong play is nothing new for the 24-year-old Greaves, who has been tremendous lately, posting a 2.21 GAA and .914 SV% in his last 10 games (7-1-2). The Blue Jackets enter Tuesday's contest as -136 road favourites against a Flyers team they defeated 2-1 in a shootout earlier this month.

He became the fourth 18-year-old in league history to score at least 20 goals in a season, joining Thomas Sandstrom, Markus Naslund and Daniel Sedin. Frondell could make his NHL debut as soon as Tuesday vs. the Islanders.

Wolf, the runner-up for the Calder Trophy in the 2024-25 season, has had a disappointing 2025-26 season, but is coming off a stellar performance, saving 24 of 25 shots (.960 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Florida Panthers. That said, the struggles have largely continued for the 24-year-old Wolf, who has a 3.48 GAA and .879 SV% since the beginning of March (3-3-0). The Flames enter Tuesday's contest as +125 home underdogs against a Los Angeles Kings team on a three-game losing streak (0-1-2).

Rielly (lower-body) will return in Boston on Tuesday.

Who are the top NHL players to watch this season?

What are the latest updates on NHL player suspensions or disciplinary actions?

Already this season we’ve seen the hammer brought down by the NHL Department of Player Safety. Notable suspensions and fines include Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs who was given a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head against the Edmonton Oilers, and Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot who was dealt a three-game suspension, also for an illegal hit to the head.

In the 2023-24 season, there were a total of 14 suspensions and 17 fines issued throughout the NHL. The longest suspension served was dealt to former-Detroit Red Wing David Perron at six-games after a cross-checking penalty dealt ironically against his current team in the 2024-25 season, the Ottawa Senators.

How are NHL player performances impacting fantasy hockey?
