Vladar had his worst performance of the campaign Saturday -- he conceded six goals on 43 shots in a 6-2 loss to Pittsburgh. The 27-year-old has just one win over a six-game span since Nov. 3. The Blue Jackets have been productive on offense with 3.61 goals per game through 23 outings, which is the sixth-best mark in the NHL.

Georgiev will defend the road net versus Buffalo on Tuesday, per Avalanche play-by-play announcer Conor McGahey.

Georgiev has lost his last two outings, allowing seven goals on 54 shots. He has a 7-7-0 record with a 3.31 GAA and an .875 save percentage through 16 appearances this season. Buffalo sits 18th in the league with 2.96 goals per game in 2024-25.

Blackwood is slated to start on the road against the Capitals on Tuesday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Talbot (lower body) isn't expected to be an option for the next three games, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press on Tuesday.

Talbot will sit out Detroit's two-game road trip, which includes Tuesday's matchup against Boston and Thursday's contest against Ottawa. There is a slight chance he could be ready for Saturday's home clash with Colorado, but head coach Derek Lalonde believes that would be a stretch. With Talbot and Alex Lyon (lower body) unavailable, Sebastian Cossa will be Ville Husso's backup versus the Bruins on Tuesday.

Gustavsson will be between the pipes for Tuesday's home matchup against the Canucks, per Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

Gustavsson has been excellent in back-to-back games -- he's won both contests while turning aside a combined 64 of 66 shots on goal. Vancouver ranks 10th overall in the league with 3.30 goals per game through 23 contests. The Swedish netminder has a 3-2-1 record, 2.78 GAA and .908 save percentage in seven career appearances against the Canucks.

Knight will get the starting nod against the Penguins on Tuesday.

Knight will make his 10th appearance of the season -- the 23-year-old is 4-4-0 with a .911 save percentage and a 2.31 GAA through nine appearances. The Connecticut native posted his first shutout of the season Saturday in a 20-save, 6-0 win over Carolina. Knight has yet to face the Penguins in his four-year NHL career.

Hellebuyck will defend the home crease versus the Blues on Tuesday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

Hellebuyck leads the NHL in wins with 15, and he'll have a favorable matchup Tuesday against a St. Louis team that ranks 29th in the NHL with 2.48 goals per game through 25 outings. The 31-year-old has a stellar 16-5-2 record, 2.03 GAA and .929 save percentage in his career against the Blues.

Kochetkov (concussion) is expected to be in goal for Tuesday's home matchup against the Kraken, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Kochetkov has missed four consecutive games. He conceded four goals on 31 shots in a 5-4 loss to Columbus in his last start. The 25-year-old will face the Kraken, who have generated 70 goals through 25 contests.

Jarry will patrol the home crease Tuesday against the Panthers, per Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Jarry is coming off his best win of the season -- he turned aside 30 of 31 shots in Friday's 2-1 victory over Boston. It was the first time in 2024-25 that Jarry has allowed less than three goals in a game. The 29-year-old will have a tough assignment Tuesday against a Panthers club that sits fifth in the NHL with 3.64 goals per game through 25 contests.
