Markstrom is coming off an 18-save shutout win over the Canadiens on Sunday. The 36-year-old netminder has won four of his last six games despite posting an .878 save percentage in that span. The Flyers have scored 19 goals over their last six games.

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.

Capitals' Mitchell Gibson: Summoned from AHL
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.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Tending twine Tuesday
Vladar will draw the road start in Tuesday's clash against New Jersey, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Vladar will look to extend his two-game win streak Tuesday and attempt to earn his seventh victory in his last 10 games. Overall, the 28-year-old netminder has a 26-13-7 record, a 2.43 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 48 appearances this season. 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.
