Skinner will patrol the home crease against Buffalo on Tuesday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Skinner is coming off a 19-save performance in Saturday's 6-2 win over Winnipeg. He has a 10-8-3 record with two shutouts, a 2.86 GAA and an .889 save percentage in 21 appearances this season. Buffalo is tied for 18th in the league with 2.97 goals per game this year.

Greaves will protect the road net Tuesday against Carolina, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

Greaves turned in a solid performance Sunday against Washington, stopping 36 of 37 shots, but he didn't receive any offensive support en route to a 2-0 loss. He hasn't earned a win since Nov. 20 in Toronto, as he's 0-1-3 with a 2.70 GAA and a .907 save percentage over his last four outings. The Hurricanes are coming off a 4-1 loss to the Sharks on Sunday and have scored exactly one goal in three of their last four games, a span in which they are 2-2-0.

Nedeljkovic is set to face the Flyers on the road Tuesday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Nedeljkovic picked up his first win since Nov. 7 on Sunday, allowing just one goal on 29 shots in a 4-1 victory over the Hurricanes. The 29-year-old is 4-5-2 with an .899 save percentage and a 3.01 GAA through 13 appearances in 2025-26. The Flyers have generated 2.81 goals per game this season, which ranks 24th in the NHL.

Montembeault (illness) will suit up for Tuesday's home matchup versus Tampa Bay.

Montembeault won't get the start Tuesday, as Jakub Dobes will be in net. The 29-year-old Montembeault missed just one game due to his illness, but he didn't play in the two previous contests after a shaky outing last Tuesday versus Ottawa -- he gave up five goals on 29 shots in that loss. The Quebec native is 5-6-1 with a 3.61 GAA and an .861 save percentage over 14 appearances this season.

Comrie is slated to tend the home twine Tuesday against the Stars, according to Danielle Bain of TSN.

Comrie continues to see the bulk of the starting duties while Connor Hellebuyck (knee) is on the shelf, but the former has struggled in the No. 1 role. Comrie has played in nine of the team's last 10 games, going 3-5-1 with a 3.25 GAA and an .893 save percentage during that time. It won't get any easier for the 30-year-old against a 20-5-5 Dallas squad that has won three straight contests and sits fourth in the league with 3.40 goals per game this season.

Dobes will tend the twine at home against the Lightning on Tuesday, Patrick Friolet of RDS reports.

Dobes will be making his ninth appearance in the Habs' last 11 contests, having gone 4-3-1 with an .880 save percentage. With Sam Montembeault still recovering from an illness, it seems Dobes will continue to feature as the No. 1 option in Montreal. Once both netminders are healthy, they will likely move into a split share of the workload.

Silovs was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes at home versus Anaheim.

Silovs has played in just one of the Penguins' last seven outings, which shouldn't come as a surprise considering he is mired in a four-game losing streak. In those contests, the 24-year-old netminder is sporting a record of 0-2-2 and a 3.85 GAA. With an upcoming back-to-back versus San Jose and Utah on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, Silovs should see some extra work ahead of the Christmas break.

Sorokin was the first goalie off the ice ahead of Tuesday's home clash with Vegas, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be in goal.

Sorokin recorded his third shutout of the season, his last time out, extending his winning streak to three games. The veteran netminder sits behind Jesper Wallstedt for the league lead (four) in shutouts this year. Fantasy managers can likely expect Sorokin to sit near the top of the list of games played this year, which makes him a high-end fantasy option.

Ullmark was the first goalie to exit the ice Tuesday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports, indicating he'll be between the home pipes versus the Devils.

Ullmark is currently tied for fifth in game played this season with 21, posting a 10-7-4 record along the way while registering a 3.00 GAA. The Sens should continue to give Ullmark a heavy workload the rest of the way, especially with the team having just one back-to-back before the Christmas break.

Vladar will get the starting nod at home versus the Sharks on Tuesday.

Vladar was given the last two games off in favor of Samuel Ersson, so he should be plenty rested and looking to bounce back from his loss to the Penguins on Dec. 1 in which he gave up five goals on 27 shots. Overall, it's been a strong start to the year for Vladar, as he is 10-5-1 with a career-best 2.59 GAA in 16 outings.
