Fleury is away from the team to tend to a family illness, so Garret Sparks has been recalled and will likely serve as Malcolm Subban's backup. There is no indication whether or not Fleury will be back for Friday's game vs. the Coyotes.
Markstrom allowed one goal on 33 shots in the Canucks win in Washington on Saturday. Markstrom followed up a six-game winning streak with back-to-back wins while stopping 77 of the 81 shots (.951 SV%) that he faced. He comes into Wednesday's game in Pittsburgh at 5-4-1 with a 2.69 GAA and .917 SV% on the road this season.
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.

Sobotka suffered a right knee injury on a low-hit from Nikita Kucherov on November 8th and will miss an extended period of time after undergoing successful surgery on Tuesday.
Anderson was not on the ice for the Senators' morning skate and will not dress against the Bruins. Marcus Hogberg was called up from Belleville (AHL) and will serve as Anders Nilsson's backup with Anderson out.

Mrazek stopped 21 of 23 shots in the Hurricanes win over the Panthers on Saturday. James Reimer gave him a breather on Sunday, so Mrazek will face the Rangers on Wednesday night. Mrazek has won four of his last five starts while posting a 2.79 GAA and .899 SV% and stopped 15 of 18 shots in a 4-2 loss in his first game against the Rangers (Nov.7).

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.

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.
