With the Maple Leafs riding a three-game winning streak, Stolarz will likely return to the crease on Tuesday after having the night off in their previous game. Stolarz has been solid all season, posting a 2.00 GAA and .930 SV% in 10 games (6-2-2), but has somehow outperformed those stats in his previous three games (2-0-1), allowing only three combined goals and posting a .964 SV%. The Maple Leafs enter the action on Tuesday as -123 home favorites against an Ottawa Senators club that has scored only six goals in their past three games (1-2-0).

Ostapchuk played the last six games for Ottawa but has been sent down to the Belleville Senators (AHL). The 21-year-old Ostapchuk had five points (1G / 4A) in six games with Belleville earlier this season.

Steeves is an undrafted 24-year-old from St. Paul, Minnesota with seven games of NHL experience in his career. He has become an offensive standout at the AHL level, with 12 points (9G / 3A) in 10 games with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) this season.

Hutton will take a seat on Monday after playing in each of the last two games. Kaedan Korczak will draw into the lineup in Hutton's place.

Korczak will make his first appearance since October 30th. He'll take the place of Ben Hutton, who is a healthy scratch. Korczak has zero goals and two assists in four games this season.

Jost will draw into the lineup in place of Seth Jarvis, who is out with an upper-body injury. Jost scored three goals and added three assists in 43 games with the Sabres last season. He signed one-year deal worth $775K with Carolina in the off-season.

Jarvis was a late scratch on Monday with his absence not being announced prior to warmups. We should receive an update on his status ahead of Wednesday's game in Utah. Tyson Jost will draw into the lineup in his place.

Spencer Martin was the starting goalie for the Hurricanes on Saturday, a 6-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, snapping an eight-game winning streak. As such, the Hurricanes will quickly revert to the services of Kochetkov between the pipes on Monday in a contest against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has been solid for the Hurricanes this season, especially establishing himself since the injury to Frederik Andersen (lower body), posting a 2.51 GA and .896 SV% in eight games (7-1-0). The Hurricanes enter the action on Monday as -149 road favorites against a Golden Knights club without Mark Stone for a second straight game.

Kuemper has only played one of the previous three games for the Kings but will return to the crease on Monday against the Calgary Flames. Putting aside an ugly outing in the third game of the season when Kuemper allowed eight goals on 41 shots (.805 SV%) in an 8-7 loss to the Ottawa Senators, Kuemper has allowed three or fewer goals in all seven games this season (4-1-2), posting a solid .918 SV%. The Kings enter the action on Monday as -133 road favorites against a Calgary Flames club that has scored three or fewer goals in each of their previous 12 games (4-4-4).

Stezka was reassigned to Coachella Valley to get a start over the weekend after backing up Joey Daccord on Friday night. With Philipp Grubauer dealing with an undisclosed injury, Stezka is likely to serve as the backup once again for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jackets. Stezka has a 2-5-0 record and an .894 SV% in seven AHL games this season.

Grundstrom will take a seat on Monday as Will Smith (maintenance) draws back into the lineup. Grundstrom has no goals and three assists in 14 games with the Sharks this season.

On the tail end of a back-to-back, the Sharks were contemplating taking Celebrini out of the lineup for a maintenance day. The 18-year-old rookie has been impressive early in his first season, despite being limited to only four games due to injury, with four points (3G / 1A). The Sharks have been liberal about resting their young talent early in the season, including resting 19-year-old Will Smith last night.

The Stars have been outscored 15-10 during a 1-3-0 stretch and will turn to Oettinger for a third straight game on Monday when they face off against the Pittsburgh Penguins. After a stellar start to the season, posting a .953 SV% and allowing only six total goals in his first four games (4-0-0), Oettinger has fallen off significantly, allowing three or more in three of his next five (2-3-0), posting an ugly .863 SV%. The Stars enter the action on Monday as -157 road favorites against a Penguins club coming off an impressive 4-2 victory over the Washington Capitals.

Boeser suffered an upper-body injury after receiving an illegal hit from Tanner Jeannot in last Thursday's matchup against the Los Angeles Kings. He has missed one game since and is listed as day-to-day. Before his injury, Boeser was picking up where he left off with last seasons career-best totals, scoring 11 points (6G / 5A) in 12 games.

Spencer Martin was the starting goalie for the Hurricanes on Saturday, a 6-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, snapping an eight-game winning streak. As such, the Hurricanes will quickly revert to the services of Kochetkov between the pipes on Monday in a contest against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has been solid for the Hurricanes this season, especially establishing himself since the injury to Frederik Andersen (lower body), posting a 2.51 GA and .896 SV% in eight games (7-1-0). The Hurricanes enter the action on Monday as -149 road favorites against a Golden Knights club without Mark Stone for a second straight game.

Stone will miss a second straight game on Monday but could be an option on the Golden Knights' upcoming two-game road trip according to head coach Bruce Cassidy. Before his injury, the 32-year-old Stone was off to a monstrous start to the 2024-25 season, among the league leaders, with 21 points (6G / 15A) in 13 games.

The Golden Knights will turn to Hill between the pipes for a fourth straight game on Monday when they host the Carolina Hurricanes. The 28-year-old Hill has had an up-and-down season, posting a 3.13 GAA and .881 SV% in nine games (6-2-1). The Golden Knights enter the action on Monday as +127 road underdogs against a Hurricanes club that had an eight-game winning streak snapped on Saturday in a 6-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche.

Samuelsson made his return to the lineup from a three-game absence on Monday but exited the contest after only 6:49 time-on-ice due to a lower-body injury. Before his injury, the 24-year-old Samuelsson was averaging 16:52 time-on-ice and had one point (1G / 0A) in 12 games this season.
