Shesterkin responded from a poor outing, allowing five goals on 27 shots (.815 SV%) in a 6-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, with a stellar 25-save performance (.926 SV%) in his last outing, a 5-2 win over the New York Islanders. The 28-year-old Shesterkin has been stellar the last several weeks, posting a tremendous .944 SV% and three shutouts in his last 12 games (9-2-1).

In 53 games with the Lehigh-Valley Phantoms (AHL), Ginning has 13 points (2G / 11A).

The Islanders have lost four straight and will return to Sorokin between the pipes for the fourth time in the last five games. Sorokin allowed five goals on 31 shots (.839 SV%) in his last outing, a 5-2 loss to the New York Rangers, but was on a strong run before that, allowing three or fewer goals in eight straight (5-3-0), posting a respectable .913 SV%. The Islanders enter action as +138 home underdogs against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Unsurprisingly, the Red Wings will likely turn Reimer on Tuesday, partly resulting from Alex Lyon's abysmal netminding lately. Reimer is responsible for the Red Wings' only victory in March, a 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday when he saved 25 of 26 shots (.962 SV%). The struggling Red Wings enter action as -164 home underdogs against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

John Marino (upper-body) will not play on Tuesday, allowing Hatakka to enter the Devils' lineup. Hatakka has played nine games with the Devils this season, tallying two points (0G / 2A) and a +6 plus/minus.

Marino has been battling an upper-body injury and will sit out on Tuesday for the third time in the last four games. Marino played 24:24 time-on-ice in the Devils' last contest, recording a -1 plus/minus rating.

The Devils' offence has been limited to only one goal in three of their last four games (1-3-0), but they enter action against the Penguins as -125 home favourites.
