Luke Glendening will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Rempe to re-enter the lineup. The 24-year-old Rempe has only played two games this season, averaging 6:46 time-on-ice, recording zero points, five penalty minutes, and 11 hits.
Korczak in his first season with Pittsburgh, has seen a more prominent role than years past, averaging 18:21 time-on-ice, over two minutes more than he had averaged with the Vegas Golden Knights in the previous five seasons. The 25-year-old defenseman has six assists, 20 blocks, and 11 hits in 14 games this season. He status is up in the air for Tuesday's game against his former team.
Malkin missed one game earlier this season, and will miss a second on Tuesday due to a lower-body injury. The 40-year-old forward has remained productive this season, scoring 11 points (6G / 5A) in 13 games despite averaging a career-low 17:03 time-on-ice. His next chance to return will be on Thursday against the Boston Bruins.
Silovs has already matched a career high with two shutouts this season in just nine games, but has been wildly inconsistent. The 25-year-old Latvian goalie has allowed four or more goals in five of nine games (5-3-1), posting a pedestrian 2.98 GAA and .889 SV%. The Penguins enter Tuesday's outing as slight -110 home favourites against a Vegas Golden Knights team that played last night, losing 3-2 in a shootout to the Boston Bruins.
Suzuki has been sidelined for exactly two weeks with an upper-body injury. The talented 27-year-old forward has practiced in a limited capacity the past few dead, indicating he is nearing a return, but he will miss at least one more game. Suzuki has 12 points (5G / 7A) in nine games this season.
Ward has spent most of his career in the AHL, but has been back and forth to start the 2026-27 season. The 28-year-old forward is averaging 9:26 time-on-ice and has one goal in four games with the Kings.

Jakub Dobes had a breakout 2025-26 season, leading the Canadiens to an impressive playoff run, but his sluggish start to 2026-27 opened the door for Jacob Fowler, who hasn't backed down from the challenge. The 21-year-old Fowler has been sensational to start the 2026-27 season, posting an impressive 1.84 GAA and .932 SV% in eight games (7-1-0). He had a sluggish outing in his most recent game, allowing four goals on 29 shots (.862 SV%), but still helped secure a 5-4 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Canadiens enter Tuesday's game as -186 home favourites against a struggling Winnipeg Jets team on a nine-game losing streak (0-7-2).
Tavares has been sidelined for two weeks with a lower-body injury and has been upgraded to day-to-day. He has not yet been cleared for contact, but his presence at practice is an encouraging sign. The 36-year-old Tavares has seven points (2G / 5A) in seven games this season.
After a season-ending injury to Igor Shesterkin, the Rangers were forced to rely on Garand, who performed admirably in early-season action. That said, the 24-year-old rookie has struggled in recent games, allowing 15 goals on 97 shots (.845 SV%) in his last four outings (0-4-0). Still, the Rangers enter Tuesday's outing as slight -115 home favourites against the St. Louis Blues, who are riding a two-game winning streak.
Thompson has quietly become one of the NHL's most consistent and reliable goalies over the past several seasons, coming off consecutive 31-win campaigns. That said, the 29-year-old goalie has been inconsistent at the start of the 2026-27 season. In his most recent outing, Thompson allowed four goals on 27 shots (.852 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild. He has allowed three or more goals in five of his last eight games (4-4-0), posting a 3.04 GAA and .891 SV%. The Capitals enter Tuesday's game as slight -108 home favourites against a Dallas Stars team that has scored only six goals in its last three games (1-2-0).
Despite missing training camp and the first three weeks of the season by choosing not to report to training camp for the Winnipeg Jets, Hellebuyck has been solid in limited action since joining his new team, the New Jersey Devils. The 33-year-old American goalie has allowed two or fewer goals in both of his starts (2-0-0), posting a 1.50 GAA and .923 SV%. The Devils enter Tuesday's action as -150 home favourites against the Western Conference-leading Edmonton Oilers, who have outscored opponents 12-1 during a three-game winning streak.
After allowing 15 goals on 105 shots (.857 SV%) in his first three games (0-3-0), Vladar has played better in recent weeks. The 29-year-old Czech goalie has helped his team record a point in five straight games (3-0-2), posting a 2.17 GAA and .910 SV%. That said, the Flyers enter Tuesday's contest as +161 home underdogs against a Minnesota Wild team on a five-game point streak (4-0-1).
Wedgewood's tremendous 2025-26 season, with a 2.02 GAA and .921 SV% in 45 appearances (31-6-6), was expected to earn him at least a timeshare in 2026-27, but he has struggled out of the gate. The 34-year-old goalie has only played four of 15 games for Colorado this season, posting an ugly 3.48 GAA, an .889 SV%, and a 1-2-1 record. In his most recent outing, he allowed six goals on 35 shots (.829 SV%) in a 6-2 loss to the Nashville Predators. Colorado enters Tuesday's game as -118 road favourites against a Columbus Blue Jackets team that has scored two or fewer goals in six of their past seven games (3-4-0).
