Price stopped 31 of 33 shots in Montreal's win over the Kings on Saturday. Price has won three of his last five starts (3-1-1) while posting a 2.62 GAA and .924 SV%. On Tuesday he faces a Blue Jackets team that has lost six of their last seven (1-5-1) while scoring just 2.00 goals per game.
Bobrovsky stopped 34 of 36 shots in the Panthers' loss to the Islanders on Saturday. He played very well but it wasn't quite good enough because Thomas Greiss was terrific on the other end. Bobrovsky's numbers still aren't great but he hasn't lost in regulation in his last six starts, going 4-0-2 with a 3.01 GAA and .884 SV%.
With Torey Krug out, Vaakanainen will play in his third career NHL game on Tuesday. The former first-round pick (No.18 overall in 2017) didn't register a point in two NHL games last year and had two assists in 15 AHL games before being called-up on Monday.
Hyman missed the first 19 games of the season but will play Wednesday vs. the Islanders. Hyman's return comes at a great time, as he'll slide in for Mitch Marner, who is out with a high-ankle sprain. Hyman likely won't have the same success with Marner out, but he'll still be with John Tavares on Wednesday. The 27-year-old set career-highs in goals (21) and points (41) in 71 games last year.
Acciari missed the last three games but will play Tuesday in Boston. Acciari, who has settled in as the Panthers fourth-line centre, has four goals in 14 games as he gets set to face his former team tonight. Dominic Toninato was sent to Springfield (AHL) yesterday to make room for Acciari.
Hellebuyck stopped 26 of 28 shots in the Jets win over the Stars on Sunday. Hellebuyck has been absolutely outstanding in November, going 3-0-1 with a 1.47 GAA, .959 SV% and one shutout in four starts. He'll look to stay hot against an Avalanche team that has gone 2-3-1 without Mikko Rantanen and Gabriel Landeskog.
Murray gave up two goals on 31 shots in the Penguins win over the Blackhawks on Saturday. Murray has won two straight while stopping 49 of the 54 shots (.907 SV%) and comes into Tuesday's matchup at 3-1-0 with a 2.93 GAA, .885 SV% and one shutout on the road. On the other side, the Rangers are 4-4-2 while scoring 3.70 goals per game on home ice.
Sherwood played 7:25 TOI in Colorado on Saturday but will be replaced by Riley Nash in Montreal. Sherwood has not registered a point in three games with the Blue Jackets.
Nash was a healthy scratch in Colorado on Saturday but will replace Kole Sherwood in the lineup in Montreal. Nash has one goal and four assists (five points) in 16 games this season.
Robinson was called up on Monday because Nick Foligno was suspended for three games. The 24-year-old has five points (3G / 2A) in 14 games with Cleveland (AHL) this season and has no points in 14 career NHL games. He is expected to skate on the fourth line with Riley Nash and Emil Bemstrom.
The 22-year-old blueliner has split the first six weeks of the season between the AHL and NHL. Guhle has four points (1G / 3A) in four games in San Diego and three assists in seven games with the Ducks. He could draw into the lineup on Tuesday with Hampus Lindholm sidelined again.
Koivula continues to bounce between the AHL and NHL but has yet to suit up for a game with the Islanders. During his time with Bridgeport, the 21-year-old has registered two goals and three assists in 10 games.
Petan continues to jump between the NHL and AHL but could stay a little longer this time around because Mitch Marner is out for at least one month. Petan has one assist in five NHL games and seven points (2G / 5A) in three AHL games.
With Michael Hutchinson being waived on Monday, Kaskisuo comes up to serve as Frederik Andersen's backup moving forward. Kaskisuo is a 23-year-old, who has been with the Marlies since the end of the 2016 season. He has been fantastic to start 2019-20, going 6-1-1 with a 2.13 GAA and .928 SV% in eight games. He will likely make his NHL debut in Pittsburgh on Saturday night.
Kuemper had his worst outing of the season on Saturday, allowing four goals on 24 shots in the Coyotes loss to the Wild. Uncharacteristically, Kuemper has lost two straight while allowing a combined seven goals on 57 shots (.877 SV%). With Antti Raanta starting last night's shootout win in Washington, the Coyotes will come back to Kuemper in St. Louis. So far this season, Kuemper has gone 4-2-0 with a 2.14 GAA and .920 SV% on the road.
Mrazek gave up three goals on 18 shots in the Hurricanes loss to the Rangers last Thursday. Mrazek has lost two straight while allowing a combined seven goals on just 46 shots (.848 SV%). The Hurricanes have stumbled as of late and James Reimer lost in Ottawa on Saturday but it shouldn't be a matchup you shy away from with Mrazek. He is 6-1-0 with a 2.12 GAA, .916 SV% and one shutout at the PNC Arena.
