Ersson will start Wednesday vs. Montreal. After a very busy December for Ersson, due in part to Carter Hart being out of the lineup because of an illness, Ersson will make only his second January start on Wednesday. Despite being winless in his last two starts, Ersson has been terrific lately for the Flyers, boasting a stellar .926 SV% in 12 games (8-2-2) since mid-November. The Flyers, who have lost five of their last six (1-3-2), have a favourable matchup as -175 home favourites against a Montreal Canadiens club that has scored three or fewer goals in five of their last six games (2-4-0).

Wallstedt will make his NHL debut Wednesday in Dallas. With Filip Gustavsson still out of the lineup for the foreseeable future, Minnesota will turn to Wallstedt as they hope to reverse their fate against the Dallas Stars after being defeated by them 4-0 on Monday. The 21-year-old Wallstedt was the 20th overall pick of Minnesota in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft and has been terrific for the Iowa Wild in the AHL this season, posting a 2.54 GAA and .917 SV% in 20 games (11-9-0). That said, Minnesota is a +166 road underdog against a Dallas Stars team that has pummelled them this season, outscoring them 12-3 through two games (0-2-0). Source: Sarah McLellan
Georgiev will start Wednesday vs. Vegas. Despite posting very pedestrian totals over the last month, Georgiev will make his 12th consecutive start for the Avalanche on Wednesday. During that stretch, his teammates have provided him with ample goal support, leading him to an 8-2-1 record while allowing three or more goals eight times, masking an ugly .881 SV%. The Avalanche are -144 home favourites on Wednesday against a Vegas Golden Knights club that defeated them 7-0 in their last meeting in early November. Source: Evan Rawal
