Overall, he's put up a career-best 18-3-4 record with two shutouts, 2.20 GAA and .917 save percentage so far this season.

Vasilevskiy made 31 saves in a 4-2 Tuesday over Colorado.

It was a tight contest until the mid-point of the third when the Bolts scored the go-ahead goal. Vasilevskiy has won six straight starts and has a .903 save percentage. His 17 wins are second-most in the NHL behind Scott Wedgewood and Karel Vejmelka, both of whom have 18.

Daccord will guard the home goal versus the Bruins on Tuesday, Joe Pohoryles of Emerald City Spectrum reports.

Daccord is set to start in the second half of a back-to-back once again after Philipp Grubauer won a 5-1 game over the Flames on Monday. Daccord has gone 4-4-1 with a 2.94 GAA and a .901 save percentage over his last nine outings. The Bruins have scored just 15 goals over their last six games, going 2-3-1 in that span.

Swayman will protect the road goal versus the Kraken on Tuesday, Kevin Paul Dupont of The Boston Globe reports.

Swayman will make his fourth straight start to wrap up the Bruins' road trip. He's allowed six goals on 90 shots over his last three outings. The Kraken are on the second half of a back-to-back after defeating the Flames by a 5-1 score Monday.

Saros will guard the road goal versus the Oilers on Tuesday.

Saros has allowed exactly three goals in each of his last four games, going 2-2-0 in that span. He'll get a tough test Tuesday against the Oilers, who are 3-3-0 with 18 goals scored over their last six games.

Hart will guard the road goal versus the Jets on Tuesday, per SinBin.Vegas.

Hart will look to bounce back from a stretch in which he's gone 1-3-1 with 20 goals allowed over his last five games. The 27-year-old will get the chance to face another struggling team, as the Jets are losers of nine straight (0-6-3) entering Tuesday's matchup.

Woll will patrol the home crease against Florida on Tuesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Woll has allowed eight goals on 42 shots in his last two outings en route to a record of 0-0-1. He has gone 8-4-2 this season with one shutout, a 2.82 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 15 appearances. Florida sits 14th in the league this campaign with 3.10 goals per game.

Mrazek (undisclosed) won't suit up Tuesday versus the Flyers, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Mrazek will miss at least one game with the injury. Lukas Dostal is starting Tuesday while Ville Husso serves as backup. Mrazek's status for the remainder of the Ducks' road trip is unclear at this time.

Dostal will guard the road goal versus the Flyers on Tuesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Dostal will unsurprisingly get the start after Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) was injured Monday against the Capitals. The 25-year-old Dostal stopped all three shots he faced after entering Monday's game, but he has lost his last four decisions (0-3-1) while allowing a total of 21 goals on 125 shots (.832 save percentage) over his last six appearances. Dostal will need to do a lot better to help the Ducks get out of their skid, though Ville Husso has done a fine job when called upon.

Wedgewood will defend the road net against the Lightning on Tuesday.

Wedgewood is coming off a 23-save effort in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Florida. He will play for the third time in four days due to the absence of Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body). The 33-year-old Wedgewood has posted a record of 18-2-4 this season with two shutouts, a 2.17 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 26 appearances. Tampa Bay ranks second in the league with 3.44 goals per game this campaign.
