Lehner has not played enough games to qualify to be a league leader, but he currently holds a .931 SV%, which is better than Thomas Greiss, who leads the NHL with .930. He'll face a Rangers team that has won four of six.
Rinne allowed two goals on 36 shots in the Predators win in Colorado on Saturday. Rinne has won five of his last six starts while posting a 1.97 GAA, .941 SV% and one shutout. Rinne draws a fantastic matchup in Winnipeg this evening. The Jets have lost eight of their last 10, however, they have averaged 2.70 goals per game over that span.
Parenteau has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury, but will be back in the lineup on Wednesday vs. his former team.

He is expected to skate on a line with two rookies, William Nylander and Zach Hyman.
Ekman-Larsson left Monday’s game with an upper-body injury and is listed as day-to-day. O.E.L is the backbone of the Coyotes’ lineup and it would be crippling if he can’t play on Wednesday. Monitor Ekman-Larsson’s status during the Coyotes’ morning skate.

Datsyuk was a late scratch form Sunday’s game in Chicago, but practiced on Monday and took part in today’s morning skate, so look for him to be in the lineup in Columbus. Datsyuk has just one goal in his last six games, but remains a high-end centre option.
Klingberg remains day-to-day and will not play tonight in Montreal. There is no word on exactly how serious the injury is, but monitor his status leading up to the Stars’ back-to-back on Friday and Saturday. With Klingberg out, Kris Russell will play on the top pair and top power-play.

Fleury allowed four goals on 30 shots in the Penguins loss to the Flames on Saturday. Matt Murray got the nod on Sunday, so the Penguins will come back to Fleury against the Islanders tonight.

Loov, 23, picked up two assists in four games with the Maple Leafs earlier in the season and has picked up 15 points (3G / 12A) in 53 games with the Marlies. Matt Hunwick is out for the rest of the season, so Loov has been recalled and is expected to be in the lineup on Wednesday.

Korpisalo allowed three goals on 36 shots in the Blue Jackets win over the Oilers on Friday. Curtis McElhinney started on Saturday and Sergei Bobrovsky (groin) isn’t quite ready to return, so Korpisalo goes tonight vs. Detroit. Korpisalo has won four of his last five starts while posting a 2.57 GAA and .911 SV%. The 21-year-old has played especially good on home ice, going 8-3-3 with a 2.42 GAA and .923 SV%.

Galchenyuk came into Tuesday as questionable, but he will be in the lineup tonight vs. the Stars. Galchenyuk comes in on a hot streak, picking up seven goals in his last six games. Look for Galchenyuk to centre the top line with Max Pacioretty and Sven Andrighetto on his wings.
