Rieder has been in the Flames lineup for the last five games, failing to record a point with two shots and a minus-4 rating. He will be replaced by Mark Jankowski, who draws back in after sitting as a healthy scratch on Sunday.
Jankowski was a healthy scratch in San Jose on Sunday but is expected to replace Tobias Rieder vs. the Flyers. Jankowski, who will skate on a line with Sam Bennett and Austin Czarnik, has no points, four shots and a minus-4 rating in five games this season.
Sautner split his 2018-19 campaign between the AHL and NHL. The 25-year-old defenseman had one assist in 17 NHL games and eight points (3G / 5A) in 31 games with Utica. He will likely serve as an extra defenseman as the Canucks get prepared to head out east on a road trip.
Welinski started the season on IR with a lower-body injury but was activated and waived on Monday. The 26-year-old had 19 points (8G / 11A) in 27 AHL games with San Diego (AHL) last year. Waiving Welinski and sending him down opened up the cap-space and roster spot for the Flyers to sign Chris Stewart.
Caamano appeared in all six games with the Stars during his call-up, scoring one goal on six shots while playing 11:00 ATOI. Caamano’s return to the AHL is a sign that Corey Perry will be back in the Stars lineup as soon as Wednesday.
L’Esperance had one goal on two shots while playing 7:20 ATOI in three games during his call-up. L’Esperance was a healthy scratch on Monday and his return to the AHL suggests that Corey Perry could be back on Wednesday.
Rittich gave up six goals on 30 shots in the Flames’ loss in Vegas on Saturday. Cam Talbot made his Flames debut in a loss to the Sharks on Sunday, so they will come back to Rittich on Tuesday. The 27-year-old netminder is 1-0-1 with a 2.00 GAA, .946 SV% and one shutout in two starts in Calgary so far.
Letestu has appeared in all seven games this season but will come out of the lineup on Tuesday. David Gustafsson will make his NHL debut replacing Letestu against the Coyotes.
Gustafsson, 19, was a second-round pick (No.60 overall) in 2018 and will replace Mark Letestu in the lineup on Tuesday. Gustafsson, who had 12 points (2G / 10A) in 36 games with HV71 Jonkoping of the Swedish Hockey League last year, will skate with Gabriel Bourque and Mason Appleton.
Mayhew was an undrafted free agent who has spent the last two seasons with Iowa (AHL) after finishing up four years at Ferris State University. The 26-year-old had three goals and three assists in four AHL games before being called up. He will replace Kevin Fiala in the lineup in Toronto.
Fiala has struggled to start the season, picking up just one assist and seven shots in the first five games of 2019-20. Gerry Mayhew will make his NHL debut and replace Fiala in the Wild’s lineup in Toronto.
Hellebuyck allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Jets win in Chicago on Saturday. After a season-opening loss in New York, Hellebuyck has won three in a row while stopping 102 of the 107 shots (.953 SV%) that he has faced. Tonight he faces a Coyotes team that is 1-2-1 and is averaging the least goals per game (1.75) in the NHL right now.
Dubnyk was yanked after allowing five goals on 23 shots in the Wild’s 7-4 loss to the Penguins on Saturday. Alex Stalock earned the Wild’s first win in Ottawa on Monday afternoon but it looks like they’ll go back to Dubnyk in Toronto. He is 0-4-0 with a 4.56 GAA and .862 SV% in his first four starts and should be left on the bench against a Maple Leafs team that is averaging 4.00 goals per game.
Vasilevskiy surrendered three goals on 28 shots in the Lightning’s win in Toronto last Thursday. Curtis McElhinney has started two of the last three games, so there’s no surprise that they will go with Vasilevskiy in Montreal. The 25-year-old has won two of his first three starts and was 3-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA, .935 SV% and one shutout vs. the Canadiens last season.
Dubnyk was yanked after allowing five goals on 23 shots in the Wild’s 7-4 loss to the Penguins on Saturday. Alex Stalock earned the Wild’s first win in Ottawa on Monday afternoon but it looks like they’ll go back to Dubnyk in Toronto. He is 0-4-0 with a 4.56 GAA and .862 SV% in his first four starts and should be left on the bench against a Maple Leafs team that is averaging 4.00 goals per game.
Stewart last played in the NHL in 2017-18, where he had three points (1G / 2A) in seven games with the Flames. He spent last year playing with the Nottingham Panthers in England, scoring six goals with seven assists (13 points) in 23 games.
Gibbons has one goal and three assists (four points) in four games with the Checkers this season. He has 67 points (25G / 42A) in 189 career NHL games with the Penguins, Blue Jackets, Devils, Ducks and Senators. He will likely make his Hurricanes debut on Tuesday.
Gauthier did not record a point while playing just 8:25 ATOI and returns to the AHL ahead of the Hurricanes California road-trip. Brian Gibbons was recalled to take his spot on the roster.
With Jacob Markstrom away from the team to attend a personal matter, Demko will make his season debut against Detroit. Demko split his 2018-19 season between the AHL and NHL. He was 8-6-0 with a .911 SV% with Utica (AHL) and was 4-3-1 with a 2.81 GAA and .913 SV% in the NHL. He could see two or three starts this week, making him a great pickup.
Hart gave up two goals on 24 shots in the Flyers loss in Vancouver last Saturday. Hart has had a tremendous start to the season, going 2-0-1 with a 1.62 GAA, .938 SV% and one shutout. Hart has quickly answered any of the doubt surrounding him entering the season and he has firmly entered the No.1 fantasy goalie tier. Tonight he takes on an Oilers team that have started 5-1-0 while averaging 3.67 GF/gm (t-8th).
