Myers has not played the previous three games for the Stars, but will re-enter the lineup on Tuesday against the Calgary Flames. The 36-year-old Myers has two assists in 11 games since joining the Stars at the trade deadline. Alex Petrovic will exit to lineup to accommodate Myers' return.
Oettinger is coming off one of his best performances of the season, saving all 22 shots he faced in a 3-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets, and will hope to continue that excellence as the Stars battle to secure home-ice advantage in the opening round of the playoffs. That said, Oettinger has been inconsistent lately, posting a 3.07 GAA and .854 SV% in his last five appearances (2-2-0). The Stars enter Tuesday's contest as sizable -238 home favourites against a Calgary Flames team coming off a 5-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks.
The Blue Jackets remain within reach of a Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference, but have struggled immensely in recent weeks and will need to immediately turn things around if they have any hopes of making the playoffs. Greaves played well in his recent game, saving 23 of 25 shots (.920 SV%), but did not receive ample goal support in a 2-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. The 25-year-old Greaves has been reliable most of the season, but has lost five of his last six (1-4-1) despite posting a solid 2.34 GAA and .915 SV%. The Blue Jackets enter Tuesday's contest as slight -103 road underdogs against a Detroit Red Wings team that is also struggling to stay in playoff contention after losing four of their last five (1-4-0).
Pelletier played two games with Tampa Bay earlier this season, but has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL. The 25-year-old forward is having an outstanding season with the Syracuse Crunch (AHL), leading the AHL with 75 points (28G / 47A) in 61 games.
Geekie scored two assists in 11 games this season with Tampa Bay, but has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL. The 21-year-old 11th-overall pick from the 2022 NHL Entry Draft has 59 points (17G / 42A) this season in 56 games with the Syracuse Crunch (AHL).
Duke made his NHL debut last season, scoring one goal in two games, but has spent the entire 2025-26 season in the AHL. The 23-year-old forward has 55 points (31G / 24A) in 67 games this season with the Syracuse Crunch (AHL).
Holmber exited Monday's 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres after only 8:21 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. The severity of his injury has not yet been revealed, but Tampa Bay Head Coach Jon Cooper expressed concerns following the game. The 27-year-old Swedish forward has 22 points (11G / 11A) in 69 games this season.
Faulk has not played in Detroit's previous two games due to a lower-body injury, but could be an option on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 34-year-old Faulk is averaging 19:56 time-on-ice and has three points (1G / 2A) in 12 games since joining the Red Wings at the trade deadline.
The Red Wings lost two crucial games this weekend, limiting their postseason hopes, but they remain within reach of a Wild Card spot and will likely turn to Gibson on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 32-year-old Gibson had a rough outing on Saturday, allowing three goals on 19 shots (.842 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the New York Rangers. After an other-worldly stretch, Gibson has picked an inopportune time to struggle, posting a concerning 3.34 GAA and .879 SV% in his last seven games (2-5-0). The Red Wings enter Tuesday's contest as -108 home favourites against a struggling Blue Jackets team on a six-game losing streak (0-5-1).
Chabot is about two weeks into his four-to-eight week recovery timeline after undergoing surgery, but has back at practice in a limited capacity on Tuesday. The 29-year-old defenseman has 31 points (7G / 24A) in 55 games this season and is unlikely to suit up before the playoffs.
The Senators currently occupy the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference, but remain in an ultra-tight battle, and will turn to Ullmark on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 32-year-old Ullmark was serviceable on Sunday, saving 25 of 28 shots (.893 SV%) in a pivotal 6-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. That said, he has battled some inconsistencies lately, losing three of his last five (2-2-1), posting a concerning 3.70 GAA and .876 SV%. The Senators enter Tuesday's contest as -127 home favourites against a Lightning team that lost 4-2 last night to the Buffalo Sabres.
Dach has been sidelined for over three weeks due to an upper-body injury, but should return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers. The 25-year-old forward has battled a myriad of injuries in his young career, which has likely impacted his inability to live up to his third-overall draft status from the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. Dach has 14 points (8G / 6A) in 32 games this season.
Texier has been sidelined for two weeks due to a lower-body injury, but should return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers. The 26-year-old French forward has been effective since joining the Canadiens earlier this season, scoring 19 points (8G / 11A) in 38 games, but has just three points (1G / 2A) in his last 14 outings.
The Red Wings lost two crucial games this weekend, limiting their postseason hopes, but they remain within reach of a Wild Card spot and will likely turn to Gibson on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 32-year-old Gibson had a rough outing on Saturday, allowing three goals on 19 shots (.842 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the New York Rangers. After an other-worldly stretch, Gibson has picked an unopportune time to struggle, posting a concerning 3.34 GAA and .879 SV% in his last seven games (2-5-0). The Red Wings enter Tuesday's contest as -108 home favourites against a struggling Blue Jackets team on a six-game losing streak (0-5-1).
Haymes is an undrafted forward that has spent the past two seasons in the AHL. The 22-year-old has yet to play and NHL game and has 32 points (17G / 15A) in 63 games with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) this season.
With only five games remaining in the regular season, it's unclear who Carolina will turn to in the playoffs, as they continue their goalie rotation on Tuesday with Bussi tending the twine. The 27-year-old Bussi had a rough stretch exiting the Olympic break, but he has played better in recent outings. He has won four straight, allowing three or fewer goals in each game while posting a 2.50 GAA and .884 SV%. The Hurricanes enter Tuesday's contest as -179 home favourites against a Boston Bruins team that has scored only three goals in its last three games (0-2-1).
Stuart Skinner (upper body) was a late scratch on Sunday, not giving Pittsburgh enough time to recalled Sergei Murashov from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. As a result, they recalled Gauthier to serve as Arturs Silovs' backup, but he will head to the AHL and swap places with Murashov for the duration of Skinner's injury.
Pittsburgh does not play until Thursday against the New Jersey Devils, but they appear to be without Stuart Skinner (upper body), which will result in Murashov being recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL). The 22-year-old Murashov made his NHL debut earlier this season, but has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL, where he has an impressive 2.13 GAA and .922 SV% in 35 games (23-8-3).
Hague was limited to only 2:34 time-on-ice in Nashville's previous game due to an upper-body injury, and his status was uncertain for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Kings. The 27-year-old defenseman is averaging 19:38 time-on-ice and has 15 points (3G / 12A) in 62 games.
Saros has not needed to be spectacular lately, but the Predators will need him at his best on Monday in a pivotal match-up against the Los Angeles Kings that could determine the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. The 30-year-old Saros allowed three goals on 27 shots (.889 SV%) in his previous outing, a 6-3 win over the San Jose Sharks. He has allowed three or more goals in 10 of his last 12 games (7-3-2), posting a 2.95 GAA and .901 SV%. The Predators enter Monday's contest as +121 road underdogs against a Kings team they defeated 5-4 in a shootout last week.
