Wedgewood is expected to start at home against Dallas on Wednesday, per Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.

Wedgewood is getting an opportunity to bounce back after surrendering three goals on just five shots in a 7-2 loss to Pittsburgh on Monday. He has a 25-5-5 record, 2.33 GAA and .915 save percentage in 37 outings this season. Dallas is a challenging adversary that ranks fifth in goals per game with 3.45 this season.

Cooley will be between the pipes at home versus the Blues on Wednesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Cooley is 0-3-1 in his last five outings, posting a 3.82 GAA and .882 save percentage along the way. Still, with the Flames out of playoff contention, he will probably continue to see his fair share of the starts behind Dustin Wolf down the stretch.

Crosby (lower body) is set to be activated off injured reserve and play Wednesday versus Carolina, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.

Crosby suffered the injury while playing for Team Canada during the 2026 Winter Olympics and has missed Pittsburgh's past 11 games as a result. He has 27 goals and 59 points in 56 appearances with the Penguins in 2025-26. Crosby is projected to center the top line and play alongside Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust. Anthony Mantha is moving off the top unit, while Ville Koivunen is expected to be a healthy scratch.

Skinner is expected to start on the road against Carolina on Wednesday, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

Skinner has allowed at least three goals in each of his past three outings, totaling 10 goals on 89 shots (.888 save percentage) over that stretch. He's 20-13-8 with a 2.78 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 41 outings between Edmonton and Pittsburgh this campaign. Carolina has been a mixed bag recently, going 2-3-0 while averaging 2.80 goals per game over its past five matches.

Crevier scores a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Minnesota.

The 24-year-old blueliner got Chicago on the board midway through the first period before helping to set up a Ryan Greene tally in the second. Crevier snapped a 13-game point drought with the performance. He has contributed five goals, 17 points, 106 hits, 96 shots on net, 71 blocked shots, 53 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 64 contests this season.

Nazar produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Minnesota.

After helping to set up a first-period tally by Louis Crevier, Nazar forced OT by converting a Connor Bedard feed on a two-on-one break with only 100 seconds left in regulation. Nazar has delivered multi-point performances in four of the last six games, a stretch in which the 22-year-old center has racked up four goals and nine points.

Bedard notched two assists in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.

The 20-year-old center was a big reason why Chicago even came away with a point in the standings, as Bedard helped set up tallies by Ryan Greene in the second period and Frank Nazar in the third to erase an early 3-1 deficit. Bedard has produced multi-point performances in three of the last four games, and in 10 contests since the Olympic break, he's amassed four goals and 11 points. Despite missing 12 games in December and January due to a shoulder injury, he needs only three more goals to reach 30 for the first time, and he's six points shy of his first 70-point campaign.

Knight made 33 saves in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.

Minnesota grabbed a 3-1 lead in the first period, but Knight stood tall over the next 40 minutes to give Chicago a chance to tie it up. There wasn't much the 24-year-old netminder could do on Mats Zuccarello's one-timer from the slot in overtime. Knight has just one win in his last seven outings, going 1-4-2 over that stretch with a 2.96 GAA and .900 save percentage.

Ullmark is expected to start on the road against Washington on Wednesday, per Jackson Starr of the Senators' official site.

Ullmark has a 21-9-7 record, 2.81 GAA and .885 save percentage in 38 outings in 2025-26. He's gone 4-1-0 across his past five appearances while stopping 99 of 111 shots (.892 save percentage). Washington hasn't looked great over its past seven games, going 2-4-1 while averaging 2.43 goals per match.

Faber pocketed three assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago.

After having a hand in first-period tallies by Ryan Hartman and Vladimir Tarasenko, Faber picked up his third helper on Mats Zuccarello's game-winner. The three-point effort was a season high for the 23-year-old blueliner. He has delivered one goal and nine points in his last 11 games. Faber needs one more point to tie the career-high 47 he produced as a rookie in 2023-24.
