NHL Player News

Oettinger will be in goal at home versus Calgary on Tuesday, according to Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

Oettinger rebounded in his last start after a few shaky performances, as he registered a 22-save shutout over Winnipeg on Thursday. The American netminder will have a favorable matchup Tuesday, as the Flames have generated just 2.57 goals per game this season, the second-worst mark in the league. Furthermore, Calgary is 11-24-3 on the road this season, while Dallas is 23-11-4 at home.

Fowler is scheduled to occupy the home crease Tuesday against the Panthers, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Fowler's three-game winning streak was snapped at the hands of the Devils on Sunday, as he conceded two goals on 19 shots in a 3-0 loss. The 21-year-old is the preferred No. 2 option for the Canadiens these days, as Sam Montembeault hasn't been in goal since March 6 in Anaheim. As for Tuesday's opponent, Florida sits 20th in the NHL with 2.92 goals per game this season.

Myers (undisclosed) will be in action versus Calgary on Tuesday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Myers will return having missed the Stars' last three contests due to his undisclosed injury. In 68 games this year for the Stars and Canucks, the 36-year-old blueliner has found the back of the net just once, while chipping in nine helpers, so fantasy managers probably shouldn't be banking on him to produce much in the way of offense.

Morrissey picked up two power-play assists in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

The veteran blueliner had a hand in tallies by Jonathan Toews in the first period and Kyle Connor in the second as the Jets scored three straight goals on the power play to seize control of the game. Morrissey is putting together a productive finish to the season, collecting a goal and eight points over the last eight contests, and through 72 games, he's piled up 13 goals and 54 points.

Geekie is set to be recalled from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday, per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com.

The Lightning are dealing with a few injuries to their forward group, which has resulted in Geekie and Dylan Duke being promoted from the minors. Geekie has been playing at a high level with the Crunch in 2025-26, generating 17 goals, 59 points and a plus-13 rating over 56 appearances. The 21-year-old might draw into the lineup Tuesday, depending on who ends up being available for Tampa Bay up front.

Vilardi scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

The Jets scored three straight goals with the man advantage in the first and second periods to take control of the game, and Vilardi was a key part of that special-teams surge. The 26-year-old winger is one tally away from his first career 30-goal regular season, and his 64 points in 77 games already represent a new career high.

Duke will be called up ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Senators, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Duke saw action in just two games for the Lightning in the 2024-25 regular season, generating one goal, one shot and five hits while averaging 7:52 of ice time. With the 23-year-old center joining the NHL club, in addition to Conor Geekie, it could be an indication that there is another injury among the Bolts' forward group.

Toews produced a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Monday's 6-2 win over Seattle.

The 37-year-old center got the Jets on the board midway through the first period before helping to set up the Gabriel Vilardi tally that put them in the lead for good. It was Toews' first multi-point effort since Jan. 15, and through 77 games on the season, he's chipped in 10 goals and 27 points.

Appleton (upper body) has been ruled out for Tuesday's home contest versus Columbus, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

This will be Appleton's third consecutive game on the shelf. Prior to getting injured, the 30-year-old forward was stuck in a cold stretch, as he had recorded just one goal, 23 hits and 12 PIM across his past 14 appearances. Detroit's next game is against the Flyers on Thursday.

Scheifele pocketed three assists, two on the power play, in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

The star center helped set up two tallies by Kyle Connor and one by Gabriel Vilardi as Scheifele produced his fifth multi-point performance in the last seven games. He's putting the finishing touches on a career-best regular season, and with five games left on Winnipeg's schedule, Scheifele needs just three more points to reach 100 for the first time.
