Binnington will patrol the crease for Tuesday's home clash with Calgary, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Binnington comes into Tuesday's contest with some extra rest after watching from the bench the last two games. It's been a tough start to the year for the netminder, as he has given up three or more goals in six of his 11 appearances and is still looking for his first shutout of the campaign. Fortunately for Binnington, backup Joel Hofer hasn't fared significantly better; he's sporting a 4.05 GAA in eight outings, so it figures to be Binnington who sees the bulk of the workload.

Thompson will defend the road net against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Thompson is coming off a 17-save effort in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Tampa Bay. He has a 6-4-0 record with a 1.61 GAA and a .930 save percentage across 10 appearances this season. Carolina ranks third in the league with 3.87 goals per game this campaign.

Wolf will guard the road cage Tuesday versus the Blues, according to Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Wolf is 4-9-1 with a 3.26 GAA and an .892 save percentage through 14 starts in 2025-26. The young netminder will look to get on the right track Tuesday against a St. Louis squad that is 2-6-2 across its last 10 games. However, Wolf has not fared well against the Blues, posting a record of 0-3-0 as well as a 4.13 GAA and an .840 save percentage over three career games.

Wedgewood is expected to guard the crease at home against Anaheim on Tuesday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

Wedgewood is riding a four-game winning streak during which he posted a 2.25 GAA and a .911 save percentage. Despite the return of Mackenzie Blackwood, the Avs continue to give the bulk of the workload to Wedgewood, though the 33-year-old has been getting every third game off. If that trend continues, it will be Wedgewood versus the Sabres on Thursday before Blackwood goes against the Islanders on Sunday.

Lindbom stopped 17 of 20 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers.

Lindbom has made four starts this season and has yet to win, going 0-3-1 with a 3.29 GAA and an .869 save percentage in that span. What's even more concerning is that he's posted a save percentage below .885 in each of his last three starts. The Golden Knights have been rotating goalies of late while Adin Hill (lower body) remains out, and if that trend continues, Lindbom's next start could come on the road against the Blues on Saturday.

Bobrovsky stopped 30 of 32 shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Bobrovsky was beaten twice in the third period, but both goals came when the Panthers had the lead, and he otherwise shut the door with an outstanding performance between the pipes. Bobrovsky has won four of his last five starts, although he posted a 2.77 GAA and a subpar .891 save percentage in that stretch.

Nedeljkovic will start on the road Tuesday against the Wild, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Nedeljkovic has played well lately, going 2-0-1 with a 1.62 GAA and a stellar .948 save percentage across his last three starts. The Ohio native had allowed at least four goals in three of his first four appearances this year, so it's been an excellent turnaround for Nedeljkovic and the Sharks alike. The Wild sit 20th in the league with 2.88 goals per game and are 4-1-0 in their last five games.

Kuemper was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports, indicating he'll tend the twine on the road versus Montreal.

Kuemper is sporting a 3-1-1 record and a 2.20 GAA over his last five outings, including a shutout victory over the Jets on Nov. 4. With Anton Forsberg struggling for consistency, the 35-year-old Kuemper could be in line for more work down the stretch, especially with the Kings currently outside the playoff picture.

Skinner stopped 15 of 19 shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Skinner got back into the win column after going 0-1-1 in his previous two starts. However, he needed a late equalizer from Jake Walman and an overtime goal from Jack Roslovic to do so. Skinner's role as the Oilers' primary goaltender isn't at risk, but the 27-year-old hasn't delivered very good results of late. He's gone 2-1-1 with a 3.61 GAA and an .852 save percentage in four outings this month, while sporting an .883 save percentage in 12 appearances this season -- if the campaign ended today, that would be his worst save percentage for any regular season in which he made at least 10 starts.

Oettinger will patrol the road blue paint Tuesday versus the Senators, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Oettinger has conceded 10 goals on 45 shots across his last two starts, putting him down to a 2.99 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 11 appearances in 2025-26. The Senators have generated 3.44 goals per game this season, which ranks sixth in the NHL, so it won't get any easier for Oettinger on Tuesday. The 26-year-old owns a 2-1-0 record, 3.72 GAA and .825 save percentage over four career outings against Ottawa.
