Sorokin will guard the home goal versus the Jets on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Sorokin allowed three goals on 25 shots in Monday's loss to the Rangers, but he'll play again a day later. The 29-year-old is 4-5-0 with a 3.39 GAA and an .887 save percentage through nine appearances since the start of February. Sorokin is a risky fantasy play given the Islanders are on the second half of a back-to-back while playing against one of the best teams in the league.

Georgiev will guard the road goal against Buffalo on Tuesday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Georgiev is coming off a 25-save performance in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over Toronto. He has posted a record of 11-19-1 with a 3.58 GAA and an .878 save percentage through 35 appearances between San Jose and Colorado this season. Vitek Vanecek won't play in Tuesday's game for trade-related reasons, but he will be Georgiev's backup. Buffalo ranks 12th in the league with 3.17 goals per game in 2024-25 and lost a 4-3 overtime decision to Montreal on Monday.

Vanecek won't start against the Sabres on Tuesday ahead of a potential trade, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Vanecek is still expected to serve as the backup to Alexandar Georgiev, who will feature in back-to-back games after facing the Maple Leafs on Monday. The 29-year-old Vanecek hasn't exactly impressed this season, going 3-10-3 with a career-worst 3.88 GAA in his 18 appearances for the Sharks. Assuming Vanecek does get shipped out ahead of Friday's deadline, San Jose will likely bring back Yaroslav Askarov from the minors.

Wolf will be in goal on the road versus Philadelphia on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Wolf has managed just one victory in his last seven outings despite a decent 2.86 GAA over that stretch. The Flyers have secured victories in four of their last five outings and won't make for easy picking for the Flames. Despite his recent slump, Wolf has still managed to reach the 20-win mark this year in addition to posting career bests in GAA (2.58) and save percentage (.913).

Gustavsson will be between the road pipes against the Kraken on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Gustavsson blanked the Bruins in a 1-0 victory Sunday -- the shutout was his fourth of the campaign, which set a new career high. The Swedish netminder is sporting a 23-13-3 record, .914 save percentage and 2.61 GAA through 40 outings this campaign. Seattle sits 16th in the NHL with 2.93 goals per game this season and earned a 6-3 win over the Canucks on Saturday.

Saros will defend the road blue paint Tuesday versus the Bruins, Predators Radio Host Max Herz reports.

Saros will make his 46th appearance of the campaign Tuesday -- the Finnish netminder owns a 13-25-6 record, .898 save percentage and 2.96 GAA over 45 starts. The Bruins have put up 2.69 goals per game in 2024-25, which ranks 28th in the NHL. Saros holds a 3-4-1 record, 2.27 GAA and .934 save percentage in eight career games against Boston. Saros has made the third-most starts in the league to this point, and considering Nashville will be in contention to receive the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, it's possible that Justus Annunen will receive a larger share of the crease in the last quarter of the season.

Nedeljkovic is set to face the Avalanche on the road Tuesday, according to Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Nedeljkovic turned aside 23 of 25 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Bruins on Saturday. He'll face a tougher test Tuesday against an Avalanche team that sits ninth in the NHL with 3.23 goals per game this season. Nedeljkovic is 0-1-1 and has surrendered seven goals on 64 shots in two career appearances against Colorado.

Andersen is expected to patrol the road blue paint against the Red Wings on Tuesday.

Andersen has lost four straight decisions but was given only four total goals of support in those contests. The Danish netminder has been excellent across 13 appearances against Detroit in his career, owning an 11-1-1 record, .924 save percentage and 2.22 GAA. The Red Wings sit 19th in the NHL with 2.88 goals per game in 2024-25 and are 2-3-1 in their last six games.

Markstrom will defend the road net against the Stars on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Following an 11-game absence because of a knee injury, Markstrom stopped 22 shots in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Vegas. He has a 21-10-5 record with three shutouts, a 2.19 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 37 appearances this season. Dallas ranks fourth in the league with 3.40 goals per game in 2024-25.

Wedgewood is slated to defend the home net Tuesday against the Penguins, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Wedgewood has been on the hook for back-to-back losses while allowing two goals in each contest. The veteran goaltender has a 6-6-1 record, .898 save percentage and 2.78 GAA across 15 appearances between the Predators and Avalanche this season. The Penguins have generated 2.89 goals per game in 2024-25, which is tied for 17th in the league.
