Gustavsson will patrol the home crease versus Colorado on Tuesday, per Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

Gustavsson has lost three of his last five outings, surrendering 12 goals on 128 shots and earning one shutout. He has a 24-14-3 record with four shutouts, a 2.60 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 42 appearances this season. Colorado sits sixth in the league with 3.35 goals per game in 2024-25 and blanked Chicago on Monday with a 3-0 victory.

Markstrom will patrol the home blue paint Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, according to Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News.

Markstrom has lost three consecutive games to start March -- he's 0-3-0 with an .850 save percentage and a 4.01 GAA in that span. Columbus has produced 3.33 goals per game in 2024-25, which ranks seventh in the NHL. Markstrom has a 4-3-0 record, .932 save percentage and 2.13 GAA over eight career outings against the Blue Jackets.

Ullmark made 48 saves in Monday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

Dylan Larkin snuck a puck past him early in the third period, but otherwise, Ullmark was dazzling as Ottawa got outshot 49-23 on the night. The 31-year-old netminder may finally be rounding into form in his first season with the Senators -- he's gone 4-0-1 over his last five starts while posting a 2.76 GAA and a .918 save percentage.

Vasilevskiy will be in the road net Tuesday against the Hurricanes, according to Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

After winning seven straight games to close out February, Vasilevskiy has faltered a bit in March, posting a 2-2-0 record, .897 save percentage and 2.78 GAA across four outings. Carolina sits 11th in the league with 3.19 goals per game this season. The Big Cat has fared well against the Hurricanes over 23 career contests, earning a 15-5-3 record, 2.21 GAA and .930 save percentage.

Talbot turned aside 21 shots in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Senators.

Detroit outshot Ottawa 49-23 on the night, but Linus Ullmark stood on his head in the other crease while Talbot got beaten twice while his side was shorthanded. While the 37-year-old netminder can't be blamed for Monday's result, Talbot has lost four straight starts, posting a 3.85 GAA and an .850 save percentage over that stretch. With the Wings now trying to find playing time for Petr Mrazek in addition to Talbot and Alex Lyon, the situation between the pipes in Detroit looks very murky.

Samsonov was the first goaltender off at Tuesday's morning skate, indicating he'll be between the road pipes against the Penguins, per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

Samsonov will make another start against Pittsburgh after posting a 22-save shutout over the Pens on Friday. The 28-year-old has a 15-8-2 record, .891 save percentage and 2.80 GAA through 25 appearances this season. Pittsburgh is tied for 20th in the NHL with 2.82 goals per game in 2024-25.

Luukkonen stopped 32 shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.

He was the busier goaltender on the night, but Luukkonen stood tall to secure his first win since Feb. 25 and snap a four-start losing streak. The 26-year-old has been inconsistent since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, going 3-4-0 over his last eight outings with a 3.57 GAA and an .877 save percentage.

Skinner made 20 saves in Monday's 3-2 loss to Buffalo.

The two teams traded tallies through two periods, but a quick Sabres counterattack early in the third produced Tage Thompson's second goal of the night and the game-winner. Skinner has struggled since the beginning of February, going 3-5-0 over his last 10 outings with a 3.67 GAA and an .871 save percentage, but his starting spot appears safe as Calvin Pickard hasn't been any better (4.03 GAA, .879 save percentage) over that stretch.

Jarry is slated to start Tuesday's home game versus the Golden Knights, per Wes Crosby of NHL.com.

Jarry picked up his first win since Dec. 23 on Sunday in a 3-1 win over the Wild, turning aside 29 of 30 shots on goal. Vegas has generated 3.37 goals per game this season, which ranks fifth in the NHL. Over six career outings against the Golden Knights, Jarry owns a 4-2-0 record, .921 save percentage and 2.52 GAA. Vegas had its four-game winning streak snapped in a 6-5 loss to the Kings on Sunday.

Fedotov will get the starting nod at home against the Senators on Tuesday, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.

Fedotov will make his fourth appearance in the Flyers' crease over the team's last six outings. In his prior three outings, the 28-year-old netminder is 1-2-0 despite a stellar 1.73 GAA and .938 save percentage. If he can get some offensive support, Fedotov's recent performances would have him set up well to secure his sixth win of the season.
