Chabot will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury, which means Artem Zub will remain in the Senators lineup in a tough assignment vs. Connor McDavid and Co.

Hogberg allowed five goals on 22 shots after replacing Matt Murray in the Senators loss in Edmonton on Sunday. Hogberg has struggled mightily this season, allowing five goals in all three of his appearances so far, posting a 4.71 GAA and .845 SV% overall.

Hunt, who will be making his season debut, will replace Lawson Crouse, who is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Hunt has 15 points (3G / 12A) in 63 career NHL games.

Crouse and Christian Fischer will come out of the lineup with undisclosed injuries, so John Hayden and Dryden Hunt will draw into the lineup in the bottom-6. Crouse is considered day-to-day.

Despite scoring two goals in the win on Sunday, Neal will come out of the lineup on Tuesday. The Oilers will go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen, so look for Evan Bouchard to replace Neal in the lineup and Alex Chiasson to play on PP1.

Bouchard was the No.10 overall pick in 2018 and appeared in seven games with the Oilers in 2018-19. The 21-year-old, who had 36 points (7G / 29A) in 54 games with Bakersfield (AHL) last year, will make his season debut vs. the Senators and is expected to skate on the third pair with Kris Russell.

Koskinen allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Oilers win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday. After starting the first 10 games of the season, Koskinen was finally given a breather on Sunday. He'll get right back in the crease tonight and comes in at 4-6-0 with a 3.45 GAA and .895 SV% o the season.

Foegele has been on the COVID-19 reserve list and has not played since January 18th. Foegele should reclaim a spot in the Hurricanes' bottom-6 and is still searching for his first point of the season.

Martinook has been on the COVID-19 reserve list and has not played since January 18th. Martinook should reclaim a spot on the Hurricanes' fourth-line and comes in with one assist in three games this season.

Slavin has been on the COVID-19 reserve list and has not played since January 18th. His return to the Hurricanes' blueline will provide a huge boost, as he should replace Jake Bean and skat eon the top-pair with Dougie Hamilton.

Teravainen has been out since January 18th but is set to return to the lineup Tuesday in Chicago. Teravainen missed time on the COVID-19 reserve list but should re-claim his spot on the Hurricanes' top-line with Sebastian Aho on Tuesday.

Reimer allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Hurricanes win over the Stars on Sunday. With Petr Mrazek out for an extended period of time, the Hurricanes will rely heavily on Reimer moving forward. He has stopped 67 of 73 shots (.918 SV%) in hie first three appearances of 2021.

L'Esperance will appear in his second game of the season and will replace Ty Dellandrea in the bottom-6. The 25-year-old has three goals in 22 career NHL games with Dallas.

Dellandrea has impressed early in the season but will be scratched on Tuesday for what the Stars are calling a "breather." Joel L'Esperance will replace him in the Stars' bottom-6.

Brossoit allowed four goals on 38 shots in the Jets loss to the Oilers on January 24th. Tuesday will be his third start of the season and he's looking for better results than his first two outings--he allowed a combined seven goals on 79 shots (.911 SV%). He draws a tough assignment vs. a Flames team that is 4-3-1 while averaging 2.88 goals per game through eight games.

Calvert has been sidelined since January 24th and will likely miss at least a couple of more weeks. With no Calvert or P-E Bellemare, Logan O'Connor and Kiefer Sherwood are expected to remain with the Avalanche fourth line.

This is actually a promising diagnosis since it looked like Bellemare suffered a very serious injury last Thursday. With Bellemare out, Logan O'Connor should remain with the Avalanche.

Johnson has been sidelined since last Saturday after getting hurt on a hit from Jordan Greenway. Head coach Jared Bednar announced that he'll miss at least a couple of weeks on Tuesday, so look for Conor Timmins to play a more prominent role while Johnson is sidelined.

This is the first time that we've heard any sort of timetable on Francouz, who has missed the entire season to-date. It looks like Hunter Miska will continue to serve as Philipp Grubauer's backup for at least a few more weeks.
