Hall was acquired from the Devils on Monday and joined the team in San Jose this morning and will make his debut against the Sharks. The Coyotes did not run lines this morning, so there is no indication who Hall will skate with.
Stalock stopped 17 of 18 shots in the Wild's win over the Flyers on Saturday. It was a quiet night for the 32-year-old netminder, who will start tonight even though Devan Dubnyk (personal) is back in the fold. He has gone 4-4-2 with a 3.58 GAA, .889 SV% and one shutout on the road, this season so he's a risky option in tough venue.
Fleury allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Golden Knights' win over the Canucks on Sunday. Since returning to the Golden Knights, Fleury has won two of his three starts while allowing a combined eight goals on 87 shots (.908 SV%). Fleury has gone 8-5-2 with a 2.88 GAA, .907 SV% and one shutout on home-ice this season.
Jarry gave up four goals on 42 shots in the Penguins' win over the Kings on Saturday. It wasn't a shutout, which is rare for Jarry lately but it was his fourth win in five games. The 24-year-old hasn't been great on the road in limited work, going 1-3-0 with a 3.12 GAA and .908 SV% in four games.
Konecny missed the last three games with a concussion that he suffered on December 7th vs. the Senators. He was back on the is for Monday's morning skate and will play on the top line with Claude Giroux and Sean Couturier. Konecny has three goals and one assist in his last four games.
Laughton is not expected to be back until after the Christmas break, so the Flyers have moved him to IR to open up a roster spot. Laughton could travel on the Flyers' west coast road trip following the break.
Bennett missed the last 13 games with a lower-body injury but will play tonight vs. the Penguins. Bennett, who has just three goals and two assists (five points) in 20 games this season, will skate on the fourth-line with Tobias Rieder and Michael Frolik.
Merzlikins was pulled after allowing two goals on eight shots in the Blue Jackets' loss in Ottawa on Saturday afternoon. Merzlikins is still searching for his first NHL win after starting his career 0-4-3 with a 3.41 GAA and .889 SV%. He has not played well but a matchup vs. the Red Wings is a great opportunity to mark one in the win column.
Mrazek allowed one goal on 26 shots in the Hurricanes loss in Vancouver last Thursday. James Reimer started Saturday in Calgary but look for Mrazek to face the Jets on Tuesday. He has won 3-3-2 with a 2.94 GAA, .900 SV% and one shutout on the road this season, so this isn't the best matchup for the 27-year-old.
Talbot stopped 46 of the 48 shots that he faced in the Flames win in Arizona last Tuesday. Talbot has been impressive in his last two starts, going 2-0 while stopping 76 of the 81 shots (.938 SV%). He draws a tough matchup with the Penguins in town. Pittsburgh has gone 5-1-0 in their last six, will get Evgeny Malkin back tonight and will limit Talbot's goal-support.
Luoto has been a healthy scratch for the last three games but will replace Mathieu Perreault (concussion) in the lineup on Tuesday. Luoto has no points and just six shots in 14 games this season.
Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 32 shots in the Jets win over the Flyers on Sunday. In his last seven starts (+ 2 relief appearances) Hellebuyck has gone 6-1-1 with a 2.09 GAA, .934 SV% and one shutout, but draws a tough assignment with the Hurricanes in town. Carolina has won four of their last five (4-0-1) while scoring 3.60 goals per game.
Dal Colle was hurt early in Saturday's win over the Sabres and is not expected to play on Tuesday. Leo Komarov is expected to draw into the Islanders lineup to replace Dal Colle.
Moore missed the last 13 games with a shoulder injury but is expected to play vs. the Sabres. Moore, who has three goals and two assists (five points) in 21 games this season, is expected to skate on the fourth-line with Frederik Gauthier and Jason Spezza.
With Nikita Kucherov questionable to play on Tuesday, Stephens comes back up and could play vs. the Senators. Stephens failed to record a point in four games with Tampa Bay but has 10 points (5G / 5A) in 24 AHL games.
Rinne gave up four goals on 22 shots in the Predators' loss to the Stars on Saturday. With Juuse Saros starting last night in New York, Rinne is expected to face the Isles on Tuesday night. Rinne has given up at least three goals in three straight games, allowing 11 goals on 86 shots (.872 SV%). Tonight he faces an Islanders team that is on a 13-game point streak on home ice, going 12-0-1 while scoring 3.54 goals per game.
Andersen allowed one goal on 37 shots in the Maple Leafs win in Edmonton on Saturday. Andersen has won three of their last four starts while posting a 2.04 GAA and .938 SV%. Tonight he will face the Sabres for the second time this season--he stopped 29 of 30 shots in a 2-1 OT win on November 30th.
Vasilevskiy gave up four goals one 33 shots in the Lightning's loss to the Capitals on Saturday. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Vasilevskiy, who is 4-2-0 with a 2.51 GAA and .917 SV% in six starts in December. He is a must-start against a Senators team that played last night and could start back-up Marcus Hogberg in the opposite crease.
