Bernier allowed two goals on 31 shots in the Red Wings win over the Senators on January 10th. He went on to miss the next seven games with a lower-body injury but is set to return tonight vs. the Rangers. In his last four starts, Bernier has gone 3-1-0 with a 1.96 GAA, .932 SV% and one shutout. Still, he has a really tough matchup in the second game of a home-and-home, making him one of the riskier options on the slate.

Based on line rushes in Monday's practice, it looks like Haula could sit Tuesday vs. the Jets. Haula has missed time due to a knee injury this season, so scratching him on Tuesday could be a way to give him an extra couple of days off before the Hurricanes bye week. Jordan Martinook would replace Haula if he's out.
Hamilton was injured late in the second period on Thursday. Hamilton and Kevin Stenlund were chasing after the puck when they had their legs tangle, Hamilton falling backward and bending his left leg under him. Hamilton will undergo further evaluation before they decide on potential surgery. Jordan Staal suffered a similar injury in a preseason exhibition game in September 2014 against the Buffalo Sabres. Staal underwent surgery to repair a broken fibula and had an estimated recovery time of three to four months.
Hamilton suffered an ugly-looking leg injury during Thursday's loss in Columbus. He was tangled up with Kevin Stenlund and went down very awkwardly. Hamilton had to be helped off of the ice and when head coach Rod Brind'Amour addressed the media post-game, he said that "it doesn't look good, obviously." It looks like the Hurricanes could be without their All-Star defenseman long-term but expect an update in the next 24 hours.
Hughes was forced to leave Tuesday's game in Toronto with an illness but was back on the ice for Thursday's morning skate and will play in Washington. Hughes comes in with five points (2G / 3A) in his last nine games.
Dowling has been a healthy scratch for the last seven games but will play Tuesday because Radek Faksa is out with an upper-body injury. Dowling has registered three goals and three assists (six points) in 24 games this season.
Markstrom allowed one goal on 24 shots in the Canucks win in Minnesota on Sunday. Markstrom has gone 8-1-0 with a 2.90 GAA and .915 SV% in his last nine starts and gets set to face a Winnipeg team the is 2-3-1 while scoring just 2.67 goals per game in their first six games of January.
It's unclear when Bernier suffered the injury because he finished Friday's shootout win over the Senators but then did not come out for warmups on Sunday. Head coach Jeff Blashill expects him to miss at least a couple of weeks, leaning on Jimmy Howard and Calvin Pickard as their goalies moving forward.
