Bobrovsky will be in goal on the road against the Ducks on Tuesday.

Bobrovsky will be looking to rebound from a disappointing appearance Thursday in which he was given the hook after conceding four goals on 15 shots. The veteran netminder has managed just one victory in his last six contests, going 1-4-1 with a 3.06 GAA over that stretch.

Luukkonen (undisclosed) will guard the cage on the road against Vancouver on Tuesday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Luukkonen didn't dress for Monday's clash with the Kraken due to his undisclosed injury but appears to be no worse for the wear. In his last 10 outings, the 25-year-old netminder is sporting a 6-3-1 record to go with a 2.81 GAA, one shutout and a .903 save percentage. With Luukkonen cleared to play, James Reimer figures to serve as the No. 2 option after Devon Levi was shipped back to the minors.

Dostal will patrol the home crease against Florida on Tuesday, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

In his last outing, Dostal stopped 32 of 35 shots in a 4-3 shootout loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday. He has posted a record of 11-12-4 with one shutout, a 2.88 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 27 appearances this season. Florida sits in the top 10 of the league with 3.17 goals per game in 2024-25.

Demko will patrol the crease for Tuesday's home clash with Buffalo, per Canucks Insider.

Demko will make his third straight start despite having posted a combined .806 save percentage over his last two outings. With Demko's injury concerns seemingly behind him, he should see the bulk of the workload for the Canucks moving forward while Kevin Lankinen is relegated to the backup role.

Thompson is set to start in Tuesday's road matchup against the Oilers, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Thompson is at the top of his game in the new year, sporting a 6-0-1 record, .944 save percentage and 1.48 GAA through seven appearances in January. The 27-year-old has allowed just two goals while posting two shutouts during his current four-game winning streak. Thompson will face an Oilers team that sits seventh in the NHL with 3.28 goals per game, but they'll be without Connor McDavid, who was suspended for three games Monday.

Levi was shipped down to AHL Rochester on Tuesday.

Levi was disappointing in his last five outings, posting a 1-4-0 record and a 4.31 GAA along the way. The decision to send the 23-year-old netminder back to the Americans is a strong indication that Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed) will be available to at least serve as the backup against the Canucks on Tuesday.

Nedeljkovic stopped 25 of 26 shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

The 29-year-old netminder had another strong showing and has been playing at a high level of late. Even though he posted a dud in the loss to the Senators on Jan. 11, when he allowed five goals on 17 shots faced, he's posted a save percentage of .930 or higher in three of his last four games, going 3-1-0 with a 3.19 GAA and a .914 save percentage. Those numbers would be even better hadn't it been for the Ottawa loss.

Oettinger was the first netminder off at Tuesday's morning skate, indicating he'll draw the home start against the Hurricanes, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Oettinger is coming off a 33-save effort in Sunday's 4-1 win over Detroit. The 26-year-old has been superb through seven outings in January, posting a 6-1-0 record, .932 save percentage and 1.83 GAA. Carolina ranks fifth in the NHL with 3.32 goals per game. The Hurricanes are on the second half of a back-to-back after defeating Chicago 4-3 in overtime Monday.

Saros will be between the pipes Tuesday versus the Sharks, per Emma Lingan of The Hockey News.

Saros will make his 36th appearance of the campaign Tuesday -- he owns an 11-18-6 record, .904 save percentage and 2.72 GAA. The Finnish netminder has allowed exactly two goals in back-to-back wins against the Blackhawks and Wild. The Sharks on the second half of a back-to-back -- they lost 6-3 to the Bruins on Monday.

Rittich stopped 27 of 32 shots in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Penguins.

Rittich has made only six appearances since the beginning of December, and the results haven't been encouraging, as he's gone 2-4-0 with a 3.04 GAA and an .876 save percentage in that span. He's also posted a save percentage below the .900 mark in each of his last three starts, so fantasy managers would be better suited to look elsewhere when Darcy Kuemper isn't starting for the Kings.
