Husso stopped 21 of 22 shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.

Husso gave up a goal to Jordan Kyrou in the first period, but that was it. Over his first three games of the season, Husso is 2-1-0 with six goals allowed on 50 shots, with his one loss coming in a brief relief appearance. The 30-year-old will likely see a majority of the starts until Petr Mrazek (lower body) or Lukas Dostal (upper body) returns. The Ducks don't have any back-to-backs in the near term, so expect Husso to get the nod Wednesday at home versus the Mammoth.

Cooley will guard the road cage Tuesday against the Predators, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Cooley has seen his workload increase lately, and he's registered a 3-0-1 record while stopping 127 of 137 shots (.927 save percentage) over his last five appearances. The California native has played better than Dustin Wolf recently, so the Flames are riding the hot hand, which has led to Cooley receiving his third consecutive start. The 28-year-old Cooley has momentum on his side heading into a matchup against a Nashville club that sits 30th in the NHL with 2.52 goals per game this season.

Wedgewood is slated to draw the home start against the Canucks on Tuesday, per Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports.

Wedgewood had his eight-game winning streak snapped at the hands of the Wild on Friday, but he was hardly at fault in that matchup, as he turned aside 37 of 39 shots in a 3-2 shootout loss. The 33-year-old has been one of the stories of the season, posting a 13-1-3 record with one shutout, a 2.08 GAA and a .921 save percentage through 18 appearances. He has a favorable matchup Tuesday against a 10-13-3 Vancouver squad that has dropped back-to-back games and five of its last six (1-4-1).

Skinner will defend the home crease Tuesday versus Minnesota, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Skinner has alternated wins and losses over his last four starts, but he had a great showing Saturday in Seattle, recording a 26-save shutout in a 4-0 win. It's been a relatively rough season for the 27-year-old, but he still has a hold on the No. 1 gig over Calvin Pickard. Skinner will have his hands full Tuesday against one of the hottest teams in the NHL -- the Wild are 8-0-2 in their last 10 games.

DeSmith will tend the road twine Tuesday versus the Rangers, per Peter Baugh of The Athletic.

DeSmith has been excellent lately, going 5-0-1 with a 1.46 GAA and a .943 save percentage across his last six appearances. The veteran netminder has allowed just three combined goals on 44 shots in back-to-back wins over Seattle and Ottawa. The Rangers are coming off a 4-1 loss to the Lightning on Saturday and have underwhelmed at home this season (2-8-1).

Ullmark will defend the road net against the Canadiens on Tuesday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Ullmark surrendered six goals on 26 shots in Sunday's 6-1 loss to Dallas. He has posted a 9-6-4 record with a 3.10 GAA and an .874 save percentage through 19 appearances this season. Montreal sits fourth in the league with 3.42 goals per game this campaign.

Woll is set to get the road start against the Panthers on Tuesday, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

Woll has posted a 1-2-1 record, 2.99 GAA and .911 save percentage over his last four starts. The 27-year-old made 30 saves on 33 shots in his last start, but he was tagged with the loss against Washington on Friday. The Panthers have dropped back-to-back games and three of their last four, a span in which they have netted 16 goals, but eight of those markers came during a win in Nashville on Nov. 24.

Gibson will be between the home pipes Tuesday versus the Bruins, according to Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News.

Gibson hasn't won a game since Oct. 28 -- he's mired in a terrible stretch right now but will attempt to turn the tide Tuesday against a team missing some key players. Charlie McAvoy (face) and David Pastrnak (undisclosed) won't be available for the Bruins, which plays into Gibson's favor. Boston beat Detroit 3-2 in a shootout Saturday, but Cam Talbot was in goal for that game.

Vladar made 22 saves in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Penguins.

The 28-year-old netminder could hardly be faulted for the result, as Philadelphia gave up three power-play goals on the night while failing to generate much offense against Tristan Jarry in the other crease. It was Vladar's first loss in five starts, and just the second time he'd seen more than four pucks get past him all season. Through 16 starts, the former Flame has gone 10-5-1 with a 2.59 GAA and a .906 save percentage.

Bobrovsky will patrol the home blue paint Tuesday versus Toronto.

Bobrovsky will look to bounce back Tuesday after allowing a total of eight goals on 35 shots (.771 save percentage) in losses to the Oilers and Flyers. The Leafs have alternated wins and losses over their last four games, though they broke out offensively for seven goals in a win over the Penguins on Saturday. Bobrovsky has yet to face Toronto in 2025-26, but he has a 16-9-1 record, 2.66 GAA and .907 save percentage over 27 career regular-season appearances against the Leafs.
