Swayman will tend the home twine Tuesday versus the Devils, per Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.

Swayman will make his 58th and last appearance in Boston's final game of 2024-25 -- he's sporting a 22-29-6 record, 3.08 GAA and .894 save percentage. It'll go down as a lost season for Swayman and the Bruins alike, but they'll have an opportunity to end the campaign on a high note against a Devils squad that has netted just four goals across its last three games, all of which were losses.

Ersson is slated to draw the home start Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Ersson has conceded at least three goals in four consecutive outings, but he's gone 3-1-0 in that span. The Swedish netminder has a 22-16-5 record, 2.98 GAA and .888 save percentage over 46 appearances in 2024-25. The Flyers will be looking to play the role of spoiler Tuesday -- Columbus needs to win its last two games in order to have a chance to make the playoffs.

Forsberg will be between the pipes at home against the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Forsberg has gone 2-1-0 in his last three outings while posting a 2.64 GAA. While the 32-year-old netminder has been splitting the workload of late with Linus Ullmark, Forsberg figures to be a permanent fixture at the end of the bench once the postseason starts. As such, Forsberg could be making his final appearance of the 2024-25 campaign.

Bobrovsky made 20 saves in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.

The Panthers took leads in the first and second periods, but Bobrovsky couldn't make them stick, and the game got away from Florida in the third. It's the first time the 36-year-old netminder has given up more than three goals in an outing since Feb. 4, derailing some of the momentum he'd built up ahead of the postseason. Assuming he's on the bench Tuesday in Florida's finale against Tampa Bay -- the Panthers' first-round opponent in the playoffs -- Bobrovsky will wrap up the regular season with a 33-19-2 record, 2.44 GAA and .906 save percentage.

Vasilevskiy will get the starting nod at home versus the Panthers on Tuesday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Vasilevskiy has surprisingly underwhelmed of late, giving up four goals in each of his last two outings for a combined .860 save percentage -- though he was still able to pick up a standings point with an overtime loss in each. This could be a final tuneup for Vasilevskiy ahead of the postseason, as it seems likely they would give the 30-year-old backstop the night off versus the Rangers on Thursday.

Lennox is practicing with the Islanders ahead of Tuesday's clash with Washington, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Lennox is likely just here to get some NHL-level experience, as Ilya Sorokin is expected to get the starting nod at home versus Washington on Tuesday. It's possible that Lennox starts against Columbus on the road Thursday -- though that game is more likely to go to Sorokin or Marcus Hogberg.

Sorokin was the first goalie to exit the ice Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home against the Caps.

Sorokin is coming off a 25-save shutout victory over the Devils on Sunday, his fourth shutout of the year. If the 29-year-old backstop can secure a victory versus Washington, he will match his career high of 31 wins from back in 2022-23 and could set a new personal best if he also gets the nod against the Jackets on the road Thursday.

Quick made 27 saves in Monday's 5-3 win over the Panthers.

Florida grabbed leads in the first and second periods, only for the Rangers to tie it up before the intermission, and then Quick shut the door in the final frame. The 39-year-old netminder sports an 11-7-2 record on the season with a 3.17 GAA and an .893 save percentage, and with one affordable year left on his contract at $1.55 million, Quick seems set to return as Igor Shesterkin's understudy in 2025-26.

Talbot made 24 saves in Monday's 6-4 win over the Stars.

The 37-year-old goalie wasn't at his sharpest, but a four-goal third period by the Red Wings handed Talbot his 21st win of the season. Since taking over as Detroit's No. 1 in the crease in late March, Talbot's gone 4-2-1 in seven starts with a 2.43 GAA and a .916 save percentage.

Oettinger stopped 31 of 36 shots in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Red Wings, with Detroit's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

The Stars took a 3-2 lead into the third period, but another late fade handed the team its sixth straight loss as Dallas limps toward the postseason. Oettinger has three of those decisions on his ledger, giving up 12 goals on 112 shots in that time while going 0-2-1. The 26-year-old netminder remains stuck on 36 wins, one short of his career high.
