Kraken's Joey Daccord: Starting in Minnesota
Daccord will start in goal on the road versus the Wild on Tuesday, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

Daccord is winless in his last five outings, allowing 18 goals on 121 shots in that span, so he is a risky option in this tough matchup.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Patrolling road crease
Johansson will draw the road start in Tuesday's clash against the Senators, per Julian McKenzie of The Athletic.
Johansson will look to start a win streak in Tuesday's contest after picking up a victory in his last appearance against Nashville on March 29. Overall, the 30-year-old netminder has an 11-9-2 record, a 3.21 GAA and an .886 save percentage across 24 appearances this season. He'll face off against the Senators, who should pose a decent challenge with the league's eighth-best 3.31 goals per game this season.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Out for Tuesday's clash
Grubauer (lower body) will miss Tuesday's road matchup against the Wild, per Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.
Head coach Lane Lambert noted that Grubauer's timeline to return is undetermined after he sustained his lower-body injury midway through Monday's contest. Overall, Grubauer has a 13-12-4 record, a 2.65 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 32 appearances this season. The 34-year-old netminder had begun to draw the majority of starts during Seattle's late playoff push, so the team will likely pivot to Joey Daccord in his absence.

Gibson was recalled from AHL Hershey on Tuesday.
Gibson has a 9-8-3 record with a 2.79 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 22 AHL appearances this season. According to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com, Charlie Lindgren skipped Tuesday's practice for maintenance and will undergo further evaluation ahead of Wednesday's road matchup against Toronto.

He has been excellent down the stretch of the regular season and has been a major component as to why the Flyers currently occupy the third playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division. He'll face off against New Jersey on Tuesday, which should be a favorable matchup for Vladar given the team's 26th-ranked 2.78 goals per game this season.
