Jarry will be between the pipes for Tuesday's road matchup against Utah, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.

Jarry has stopped 33 of 36 shots en route to winning his last two outings. He has posted a record of 18-9-2 with two shutouts, a 3.26 GAA and an .884 save percentage in 31 games this season between Edmonton and Pittsburgh. Utah ranks 12th in the league with 3.26 goals per game this campaign.

Tkachuk (personal) will not be an option for Tuesday's game in Montreal, Panthers TV Rinkside Reporter Katie Engleson reports.

Tkachuk has returned home to South Florida, as he and his wife are awaiting the birth of their first child. Fantasy managers shouldn't count on the left-shot winger being in the lineup for Thursday's game in Ottawa as well, and it remains to be seen if Tkachuk will rejoin the team during its road trip, which concludes Saturday in Toronto. Mackie Samoskevich could receive an elevated role in Montreal due to Tkachuk's absence.

Tarasov will guard the road goal against Montreal on Tuesday, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Tarasov has one victory in his past seven appearances (1-5-0) while surrendering 29 goals on 212 shots. He has a 10-15-2 record this season with a 3.21 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 29 appearances. Montreal sits fifth in the league during the 2025-26 campaign with 3.45 goals per game.

Greaves will defend the road net against the Red Wings on Tuesday, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Despite stopping 106 of the 117 shots he has faced, Greaves has gone 0-3-1 in his last four outings. He has a 24-16-9 record in the 2025-26 campaign with two shutouts, a 2.58 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 50 appearances. Detroit is tied for 21st in the league this season with 2.90 goals per game.

Contrary to a prior report, Fowler is not expected to be in goal against the Panthers on Tuesday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Lavoie is now reporting that Jakub Dobes was the first goaltender to leave the ice at the morning skate. With Fowler seemingly not being the starter for Tuesday's game, his next opportunity to tend the twine will be against Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Dobes was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against Florida on Tuesday.

Dobes has allowed only eight goals on 179 shots during his five-game winning streak. He has a 27-8-4 record this campaign with 2.73 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 39 appearances. Florida sits 20th in the league with 2.92 goals per game this season.

Wood is dealing with an illness, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

While Wood's status is in question for Tuesday's contest in Detroit, it's unclear if he would have been in the lineup, as head coach Rick Bowness has decided to shake up the team's forward group. Either way, Wood can be considered a game-time call for this crucial matchup in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

Hofer will defend the home net against the Avalanche on Tuesday, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.

Hofer will get his third straight start Tuesday, as he's posted solid performances in back-to-back wins in Anaheim and Colorado. The Manitoba native made 26 saves on 28 shots against the Avs on Sunday, keeping the Blues' playoff hopes alive in the process. Hofer will look to have a similar result Tuesday, as his club now sits five points behind the Kings for the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference.

Chaffee was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Tuesday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Chaffee has failed to record a point in 10 NHL games this year, though he did chip in 24 hits, four blocks and four PIM during that stretch while averaging 9:11 of ice time. It appears Chaffee will be switching places with Jakob Pelletier, who was called up in a corresponding move, according to Encina.

Pelletier was promoted from AHL Toronto on Tuesday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Pelletier has appeared in just two NHL games this year in which he failed to generate a point while producing three hits and two blocks. Even with his elevation to the NHL roster, the 25-year-old winger is far from a lock to play and could find himself sitting in the press box periodically.
