Multiple deep playoff runs and injury woes have seemingly caught up to the Panthers, who currently sit eight points outside of a playoff spot. Bobrovsky should have a decent chance at getting in the win column Tuesday against a Devils club that is tied for last in the NHL with 2.47 goals per game in 2025-26.

Markstrom will tend the twine at home in Tuesday's tilt against the Panthers, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

With just another four victories, the veteran netminder will reach the 20-win threshold for the ninth consecutive campaign.

Hellebuyck will patrol the home blue paint against the Blackhawks on Tuesday, per Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press.

After allowing at least three goals in six straight games, Hellebuyck turned aside 31 of 33 shots in San Jose on Sunday but didn't come out on the winning side in a 2-1 overtime loss. His play in the 2026 Winter Olympics was stellar, but it's been a rough go with the Jets lately -- he has lost five straight outings (0-2-3) and has just one win in his last 10 starts. Hellebuyck will look to get back on track Tuesday against a Chicago club that is 11-14-4 on the road this season.
