Prosvetov will likely get his second start of the season as the Avalanche seem to be shifting to an approach that will allow Alexandar Georgiev more rest. In two appearances, Prosvetov has a 0.88 GAA and .970 SV% and is looking more and more like a viable option for the Avalanche as Georgiev, who started the teams' first eight games, has struggled immensely of late, posting a .844 SV% in his four most recent games (1-3-0). The Avalanche initially intended on a more even split with Pavel Francouz (LTIR), but with him unavailable for the foreseeable future, another strong performance for Prosvetov could go a long way in securing him more time in between the pipes.

Highly touted goaltending prospect Dustin Wolf has been recalled by the struggling Calgary Flames after posting an impressive 2.34 GAA and .924 SV% in six games (5-1-0) with the Calgary Wranglers. The Flames seem intent on carrying three goaltenders for the time being, but Wolf will likely see game action at some point and be given the opportunity to showcase his talents.

Frost has been in and out of the lineup all season as a healthy scratch and will once again watch the game from the press box as Sean Couturier returns from a lower-body injury. Through six games, Frost has zero points, eight shots, and six hits while averaging 15:37 time-on-ice.

Hanley is expected to dress as the Stars' seventh defenseman as he anticipates to make his season debut on Monday against the Boston Bruins. Hanley has become a reliable depth defenseman when called upon by the Stars, playing 129 games over the past five seasons, scoring 18 points (2G / 16A), 125 blocks, and 143 hits.

Coronato has played 10 games with the Flames this season, registering one point (0G / 1A) and 23 shots on goal while averaging 13:54 time-on-ice per night but has been reassigned to the Calgary Wranglers of the AHL. In a related move, the Flames have recalled Martin Pospisil.

With Matt Coronato being reassigned to the Wranglers (AHL), the Flames have recalled Pospisil. Pospisil was the 105th overall pick of the Flames in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft and has yet to play a game at the NHL level. The Slovak forward has six points (3G / 3A) in six games with the Wranglers this season.

Prosvetov will make his first start as a member of the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday after making his first appearance last week, saving all five shots he faced entering the game in relief of Alexandar Georgiev. Prosvetov has 14 NHL games under his belt (4-6-1), accumulated over the last three seasons as a member of the Arizona Coyotes, averaging a 4.03 GAA and .873 SV%. The Avalanche have been outscored 8-0 in their last two games (0-2-0) but are still -229 home favourites against a St. Louis Blues team that ranks second worst in the league offensively, averaging only 1.86 goals per game.

Andersson had three points (1G / 2A) in five games before being forced to serve a four-game suspension that concluded on Sunday. He is expected to return to the lineup for the Flames' contest against the Dallas Stars on Wednesday and should slot back onto the team's top powerplay unit.

Zary was the 24th overall pick of the Calgary Flames in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. The 22-year-old Alberta native was off to a blistering start in the AHL with the Calgary Wranglers this season, posting 10 points (1G / 9A) through six games.

Solovyov had two PIMs, one SOG, and a -3 plus/minus in his first two career games with the Flames but has been reassigned to the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) on Monday. The 23-year-old defenseman returns to the Wranglers, where he had a goal, an assist, and two PIMs in four games prior to his promotion. Solovyov heads down due to Rasmus Andersson returning from a four-game suspension.

Pachal will be scratched for the second time in the last three games, making room for Kaedan Korczak to draw back into the lineup. Pachal had a -2 plus/minus rating while only playing 9:54 in his last game. He has one goal, 11 blocks, and 15 hits in eight games this season.

Frost has been a healthy scratch the last six games and will return to the Flyers' lineup on Monday, replacing Ryan Poehling. Frost broke out last season, recording 46 points (19G / 27A) in 81 games but hasn't had the favour of John Tortorella and the Flyers' coaching staff early this season. He is likely to slot on the second line with Travis Konecny and Tyson Foerster.

With Devon Levi and Eric Comrie both injured, Devin Cooley has been recalled from the Rochester Americans of the AHL to back up Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. In four games with Rochester (3-0-1), Cooley has a 3.46 GAA and .903 SV%.
