McCann (lower body) is not expected to be an option for Tuesday's road matchup against the Panthers, according to Sound of Hockey.

McCann is slated to miss his second straight contest. The 29-year-old winger is considered day-to-day at this time. His next chance to suit up will be in Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Gostisbehere (lower body) won't play against Montreal on Tuesday, according to Patrick Friolet of RDS.

Gostisbehere will miss his ninth straight game, and it remains unclear when he will be available to return. He has generated 11 goals, 43 points, 98 shots on net and 50 blocked shots across 45 appearances this season.

Eriksson Ek (lower body) will suit up in Tampa Bay on Tuesday, per Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Eriksson Ek missed the last three games due to his lower-body injury. The 29-year-old center hasn't scored since Feb. 27 in Utah, and he has just two helpers and 23 shots on goal over his last nine appearances. The Wild are also getting Kirill Kaprizov back in the lineup Tuesday, so Nico Sturm and Hunter Haight will be healthy scratches as a result of the team getting two of its top players back against the Lightning.

Andersen will guard the road goal against the Canadiens on Tuesday, per Patrick Friolet of RDS.

Andersen has stopped 102 of the 117 shots he has faced during his five-game winning streak. He has a 13-11-5 record this campaign with a 3.12 GAA and an .874 save percentage across 29 appearances. Montreal ranks third in the league with 3.51 goals per game this season.

Greaves will be between the road pipes Tuesday against the Flyers, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Greaves is coming off a 1-0 loss to the Islanders on Sunday, a game in which he made 21 saves on 22 shots. Prior to that, Greaves had won three straight games, one of which was also in Philadelphia -- he allowed just one goal on 19 shots in a 2-1 shootout win on March 14. The 24-year-old holds a 23-13-8 record with two shutouts, a 2.58 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 45 appearances in 2025-26.

Colton (upper body) will play against Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

Following a six-game absence, Colton will return to the lineup. He has provided eight goals, 23 points, 137 shots on net and 137 hits in 60 outings this season.

Gustavsson will occupy the road net Tuesday against the Lightning, per Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Gustavsson is currently at the top of his game -- he's won back-to-back outings and five of his last six while stopping 142 of 153 shots (.928 save percentage) in that time. One of those five wins came against Tampa Bay on March 3, a game during which the Swedish netminder allowed just one goal on 25 shots in a 5-1 win. This is the Lightning's first game at home following a four-game road trip out west, and they are coming off a 4-3 overtime loss in Calgary on Sunday.

Saros is expected to patrol the home crease against San Jose on Tuesday, according to Max Herz of 102.5 The Game Nashville.

After missing two games due to an upper-body injury, Saros stopped 27 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over Chicago. He has a 25-19-7 record this campaign with a 3.12 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 52 appearances. San Jose sits 18th in the league with 3.03 goals per game this season.

O'Connor (hip) was activated from long-term injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

According to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette, O'Connor will make his season debut against Pittsburgh on Tuesday. The 29-year-old O'Connor missed the first 69 games of the 2025-26 campaign after undergoing offseason hip surgery. In the 2024-25 regular season, he provided 10 goals, 21 points, 89 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and 68 hits in 80 appearances.

Wedgewood will start on the road against the Penguins on Tuesday, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

Wedgewood has followed up his five-game winning streak with back-to-back defeats. One of those losses came to Pittsburgh last week, as Wedgewood was pulled after allowing three goals on just five shots in a 7-2 defeat. Overall, it's been a solid campaign for the 33-year-old, who is 25-5-6 with a 2.19 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 38 outings. Wedgwood and Mackenzie Blackwood are seemingly still competing for the No. 1 netminding gig ahead of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, as neither player has taken the reins as the clear-cut starter.
