NHL Player News

Wedgewood is expected to draw the home start Tuesday versus the Golden Knights, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

Wedgewood will make his first start since turning aside 21 of 23 shots in a 3-2 win over Chicago on April 2. The 32-year-old is playing at a high level, earning a 6-0-1 record, 1.54 GAA and .933 save percentage across his last eight appearances. He'll have his hands full against a Vegas club that sits sixth in the NHL with 3.34 goals per game and is 8-2-0 over its last 10 games.

Ostman was called up from AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday.

Ostman's promotion to the NHL roster could be an indication that either Joey Daccord or Philipp Grubauer won't be available to face Utah on Tuesday -- though it could also be a precautionary move to add some extra depth ahead of the final two games of a five-game road trip. Regardless, it almost certainly won't be Ostman who gets the starting nod against Utah.

DeSmith was the first netminder off at Tuesday's morning skate, according to Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine, which indicates he'll draw the starting nod versus the Canucks.

DeSmith surrendered four goals on 39 shots in a 5-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday. The veteran netminder holds a 14-7-1 record, .921 save percentage and 2.38 GAA over 24 appearances this season. The Canucks are tied for 21st in the league with 2.83 goals per game in 2024-25 and have dropped four of their last five games, so DeSmith has a chance to get back on the right track in this Western Conference tilt.

Knight will guard the road goal against the Penguins on Tuesday, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Knight is coming off a 28-save performance in Sunday's 3-1 win over Pittsburgh. Since being acquired from Florida on March 1, he has a 4-7-1 record with a 3.01 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 12 starts with Chicago. The Penguins rank 19th in the league with 2.91 goals per game in 2024-25.

Woll will protect the road crease against the Panthers on Tuesday, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

Woll will make his first start since March 30, when he stopped 29 of 31 shots in a 3-2 win over Anaheim. The Missouri native had a solid 5-2-1 record over eight appearances in March, but he posted a subpar .894 save percentage and a 3.41 GAA during that time. Florida is getting a few players back from injury Tuesday, so Woll will have his hands full in this Atlantic Division matchup.

Forsberg is slated to start against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Forsberg turned in arguably his best performance of the season Saturday, shutting out the Panthers in a 3-0 victory. The 32-year-old netminder is 10-11-2 with a .907 save percentage and a 2.57 GAA through 27 appearances in 2024-25. The Blue Jackets have stumbled of late -- they've lost three straight games and four of their last five.

Swayman will patrol the road blue paint Tuesday versus the Devils, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Swayman snapped his seven-game losing streak in a 5-1 win over Carolina on Saturday, turning aside 39 of 40 shots on goal in the process. The 26-year-old owns a 21-28-6 record, .895 save percentage and 3.08 GAA through 55 appearances in 2024-25. The Devils have won three consecutive games and four of their last five.

Markstrom will tend the home twine against the Bruins on Tuesday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Markstrom has posted a stellar 1.72 GAA and a .933 save percentage during his four-game winning streak. It's been a massive turnaround for Markstrom, who was 1-5-1 in his first seven appearances after returning from a knee injury March 2. The 35-year-old has a strong chance to extend his winning streak Tuesday against a Boston squad that has produced 2.63 goals per game in 2024-25, which ranks 29th in the league.

Jarry is slated to start against the Blackhawks on Tuesday, according to Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

Jarry has had mixed results lately, alternating wins and losses over his last four starts (2-1-1). The British Columbia native is 14-11-6 with an .887 save percentage and a 3.26 GAA over 33 outings in 2024-25. The Blackhawks have generated 2.70 goals per game this season, which ranks 26th in the NHL.

Montembeault will be between the home pipes Tuesday versus the Red Wings, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Montembeault has elevated his game at a crucial point in the season -- he's conceded two goals or less during his four-game winning streak. On the season, the 28-year-old netminder is sporting a 29-23-6 record, 2.85 GAA and .900 save percentage across 58 appearances. The Red Wings have won back-to-back games and are coming off a 2-1 win over Florida on Sunday.
