Zuccarello scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Zuccarello had three assists over his previous five games. The winger found the twine at a good time, scoring 3:09 into the extra session to help the Wild rebound after squandering a 3-1 lead. Zuccarello is up to 13 goals, including five game-winners, and 42 points through 49 outings this season. He continues to fill a top-six role and sees power-play time on the first unit.

Markstrom is slated to start on the road against the Rangers on Wednesday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Markstrom has allowed at least three goals in each of his past five outings. He's 20-16-1 with a 3.10 GAA and an .885 save percentage in 38 appearances this campaign. The Rangers enjoyed a four-game winning streak in which they outscored adversaries 20-7, but New York saw that run come to an end with a 4-1 loss to the Kings on Monday.

Johnston (lower body) will not be in the lineup versus Philadelphia on Wednesday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Johnston will miss his fourth straight game due to his lingering lower-body problem. While the 32-year-old winger has already put together career numbers in goals (three) and assists (11), he still doesn't offer enough offensive production to be fantasy relevant.

Anderson scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.

Anderson has a goal and an assist over his last two games, but he went eight contests without a point before that. The veteran winger is firmly in a bottom-six role with a lack of power-play time, so he's unlikely to play a big part in Montreal's offense. He's at 13 goals, 22 points, 78 shots on net, 112 hits, 39 blocked shots and 52 PIM through 61 appearances.

Nyman was recalled from AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday.

Nyman has made 24 appearances for the Kraken this year, recording four goals, two assists, 20 hits, six PIM and four blocked shots while averaging 10:42 of ice time. He's been in the minors since late December but will provide additional depth for the Kraken while Jaden Schwartz (face) and Eeli Tolvanen (upper body) deal with absences.

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.
