Saros stopped 23 of 25 shots in the Predators win over the Blues on Monday. With Saros riding a two-game winning streak, he will make his third straight start on Wednesday. Saros has stopped 52 of the last 56 shots (.929 SV%) that he has faced and will take on a Vegas team without Marc-Andre Fleury. The Golden Knights have lost five straight road games while scoring just 2.00 goals per game.
Ullmark allowed two goals on 45 shots in the Sabres win in Florida on Sunday. Carter Hutton started on Monday but they will ride the hot-hand on Wednesday. It will be the fourth time in five games that Ullmark has started and he comes in at 2-2-0 with a 2.54 GAA and .917 SV% in his last four outings.
Conacher was a healthy scratch vs. The Sabres on Monday but will replace Carter Verhaeghe as the 11th forward on Wednesday night. So far he has one assist and two shots while averaging 12:05 TOI/gm in two games this season.

Bernier allowed four goals on 33 shots in the Red Wings' loss in New Jersey on Saturday. Bernier has lost three consecutive games while allowing a combined 11 goals on 97 shots (.887 SV%). The Maple Leafs have improved under new head coach Sheldon Keefe and possess plenty of offensive talent, so leave Bernier on the bench/free agency tonight.
Dahlin was elbowed in the head by Erik Cernak on Monday and was forced to leave the game and was immediately diagnosed with a concussion. As expected, the Sabres announced that he is out indefinitely prior to Wednesday's game, so don't expect him to play for at least the rest of this week.
Nilsson allowed one goal on 31 shots in the Senators win over the Rangers last Friday. Nilsson has won three straight and six of his last seven starts while posting an impressive 2.13 GAA and .935 SV%. The Senators and Nilsson are rolling right now, but the Bruins are on a four-game winning streak and are 7-3-1 on the road, so the matchup is far from ideal.
Korpisalo stopped all 25 shots that he faced in the Blue Jackets shutout win over the Senators on Monday. Korpisalo is red-hot right now, winning four in a row while stopping 102 of the 110 shots (.927 SV%) that he faced. In his first start against the Flyers, Korpisalo surrendered six goals on 45 shots in a 7-4 loss (Oct.26).

The Maple Leafs have improved under new head coach Sheldon Keefe and possess plenty of offensive talent, so leave Bernier on the bench/free agency tonight.
Hogberg is 6-6-0 with a 3.21 GAA and .892 SV% in 14 AHL games this season and is coming up to backup Anders Nilsson on Wednesday. Craig Anderson is not on the ice for the morning skate so the 25-year-old comes up to serve as backup for at least one game.
Elliott allowed three goals on 36 shots in the Flyers win in Carolina last Thursday. Elliott has carved out a larger role as of late and has been strong in November, going 2-0-2 with a 2.34 GAA and .924 SV%. He draws a tough assignment on Wednesday, as the Blue Jackets come in as winners of four of their last five while scoring 3.40 goals per game.
Dahlin was forced to leave the game with a concussion and Cernak's two-game suspension means he won't play Wednesday vs. the Blues or Friday in Washington. Cernak, who will likely be replaced by Jan Rutta tomorrow, is eligible to return Saturday vs. the Hurricanes.
Fedun was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Roman Polak in the lineup on Tuesday night. He has eight points (1G / 7A) in 20 games this season.
The Stars are on the tail-end of a back-to-back, so they'll get some fresh legs in the lineup with Taylor Fedun replacing Polak, who has one assist in six games since returning from injury.
Beaulieu suffered an upper-body injury vs. the Blue Jackets on Saturday night. With Beaulieu out, Anthony Bitetto or Carl Dahlstrom will likely play on Wednesday.
Martinez sustained a laceration to his right wrist on Monday night and underwent successful surgery to repair a radial artery and two superficial radial nerves. Martinez will likely miss at least a couple of weeks and will be re-evaluated after that.
Studnicka, 20, was a second-round pick (No.53 overall) in 2017 and is set to play in his first career NHL game on Tuesday. Studnicka had 18 points (9G / 9A) in 21 games with Providence (AHL) before being called-up. He will be immediately inserted into the Bruins' top-6 and centre a line with Jake DeBrusk and Charlie Coyle on his wings.
Zibanejad has missed the last 13 games but was a full participant in Tuesday's practice and is expected to play Wednesday vs. the Hurricanes. Zibanejad skated with Chris Kreider and Pavel Buchnevich and will look to build off of a strong start to the season--he had 11 points (4G / 7A) in his first nine games.
