Ersson is set to start on the road against Utah on Wednesday.

Ersson will attempt to replicate his 2-1 victory over Vegas on Monday. He stopped 24 of 25 shots in that win, which gives him a 7-8-4 record, 3.30 GAA and .860 save percentage in 20 outings this season. Utah is 7-1-1 in its past nine outings while averaging 3.78 goals per game in that span.

Oettinger made 16 saves in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

The 27-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period before Morgan Geekie finally tipped a shot past Oettinger on a Boston power play. Oettinger had a rough beginning to January but seems to be turning things around, going 2-2-0 over his last four starts while giving up eight goals on 95 shots (.916 save percentage).

Korpisalo stopped all three shots he faced after replacing Jeremy Swayman early in the third period of Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Stars.

The Bruins were down 6-0 when Korpisalo came off the bench, and he might have been busier in a closer contest. The veteran netminder has been sharp since Christmas, going 3-1-0 in his last five outings with a 1.44 GAA and .948 save percentage, and Swayman's inconsistency is opening the door for Korpisalo to get more work.

Swayman gave up six goals on 34 shots before being replaced by Joonas Korpisalo early in the third period of Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Stars.

Swayman allowed two goals in each period, with a pair of Jason Robertson tallies in the third finally chasing the netminder from the crease. Swayman has coughed up six goals three times in his last nine starts, going 5-3-1 over that stretch with a 3.17 GAA and an .892 save percentage.

Greaves turned aside 12 of 13 shots after replacing Elvis Merzlikins (illness) to begin the second period in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Senators.

Ridly Greig tucked the puck past Greaves early in the third period on a rush chance, but the Columbus netminder kept things close after entering the contest with his team down 2-1. Greaves has had a couple of bumpy outings in January, going 3-2-1 over seven appearances with a 3.01 GAA and a .904 save percentage.

Wedgewood is slated to start Wednesday's home game against the Ducks, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

Wedgewood will look to extend his win streak to three games after he posted a 2.00 GAA and a .927 save percentage over his last two outings. The 33-year-old netminder has been elite this season with a 20-3-4 record, a 2.19 GAA and a .917 save percentage. Anaheim is riding a four-game winning streak and ranks 13th in the NHL with 3.22 goals per game this season.

Reimer made 21 saves in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

The 37-year-old netminder picked up his first win of the season in his second start for the Senators. Reimer has allowed five goals on 56 shots in his first two outings and will get a look as the No. 1 in net for Ottawa while Linus Ullmark (personal) remains unavailable. Hunter Shepard is currently the backup on the Senators' roster after Leevi Merilainen went to AHL Belleville on Tuesday.

Wolf will start Wednesday's home game against the Penguins, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Wolf has alternated starts with Devin Cooley over the past few games. Wolf made 28 saves in a 4-2 win over the Islanders on Saturday, ending his five-game losing streak. Pittsburgh has produced 3.23 goals per game this season, which ranks 12th in the NHL.

Annunen stopped all 13 shots he faced in relief in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres.

Annunen entered the game in the second period after Juuse Saros allowed four goals on 18 shots. Annunen has limited upside as the backup netminder this season, but he can be a decent matchup-based streaming option at times.

Saros picked up the loss in Tuesday's 5-3 defeat against the Sabres. He stopped 14 of 18 shots before being pulled in the second period.

It was a disastrous outing for Saros, who's now allowed three or more goals in each of his last three outings. However, he did emerge victorious in his previous two contests. He's been inconsistent of late and owns a 4-4-0 record through eight starts in January while posting a 3.35 GAA and an .892 save percentage over that stretch.
