Georgiev allowed five goals on 38 shots in the Rangers loss to the Penguins on January 30th. Since opening the season with a shutout, Georgiev has lost three straight while allowing a combined 12 goals on 82 shots (.854 SV%). Tonight he'll face a Bruins team that has won seven of their last eight (7-0-1) while averaging 4.00 goals for and just 2.38 goals against.

The Predators cited "baby reasons" for why he missed Monday's game but he is expected to be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Expect Ekholm to replace Jared Tinordi on the blueline.

Glendening left Sunday's game in Florida and will miss tonight's rematch. With Glendening out, Anthony Mantha (healthy scratch) should be back in.

Oettinger allowed two goals on 35 shots in the Stars loss to the Blackhawks on Sunday. Despite the loss and Anton Khudobin being available tonight, Oettinger will make his second straight start. So far this season, he has stopped 86 of the 94 shots (.915 SV%) that he's faced. With a quality matchup vs. the Blackhawks again, he's a worthwhile early-week spot-start option.

Erik Brannstrom is expected to miss at least one week with an undisclosed injury, so wolfing will be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Wolanin has been out with a lower-body injury since January 27th.

Brannstrom was hurt in Monday's loss to the Oilers and all miss at least one week. With Brannstrom out, Christian Wolanin will draw back into the Senators' lineup in the rematch vs. Edmonton.

Koskinen allowed six goals on 28 shots in the Oilers loss in Calgary on Saturday. Mike Smith made his return to the Oilers crease last night, so Koskinen will start the second-half of the back-to-back with the Senators. Koskinen has gone 2-3-0 with a 3.67 GAA and .882 SV% in his first five starts on the road this season.

17 days after being acquired from the Blue Jackets, Dubois will make his Jets debut on Tuesday. Dubois will start on a line with Kyle Connor and Trevor Lewis and is expected to see PP2 time. Dubois had one goal on seven shots in five games with Columbus before the trade.

With Zack Kassian out week-to-week with an upper-body injury, Chiasson will play Tuesday vs. the Senators. Chiasson was a healthy scratch for the last two games but re-enters the lineup with no points, six shots and a minus-4 rating in seven games this season.

Kassian was hurt in a fight with Erik Gudbranson early in Monday's win in Ottawa. Head coach Tippett called him week-to-week, so look for Alex Chiasson to draw into the Oilers lineup on Tuesday.

It's unclear whether or not Boqvist will actually play on Tuesday, since the Blackhawks have played pretty well as of late. If he does play, he will most likely replace Nicolas Beaudin.

Lomberg has not played since the Panthers' season opener but will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday. It's unclear who Lomberg will replace but this is likely a response to Givani Smith's fight with Aaron Ekblad on Sunday.

Bobrovsky allowed six goals on 41 shots in the Panthers' loss to the Predators last Thursday. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak to open the season for Bobrovsky, who has given up a combined 15 goals on 126 shots (.881 SV%). Tonight he faces a Red Wings team that beat Chris Driedger on Sunday but have lost eight of their last nine games.

Grzelcyk has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury but appears to be on track to play Wednesday. Grzelcyk, who had three assists in five games before getting hurt, would most likely be back on the Bruins' top power-play unit.
