Sergachev (lower body) was deemed a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's road game against the Wild, per Brogan Houston of the Deseret News.

Sergachev has been shelved for Utah's past three contests, including Monday's first half of a back-to-back. The 27-year-old blueliner has made a large impact when healthy, tallying four points in as many games since NHL action resumed following the Olympic break. If Sergachev can't suit up, it will give Maksymilian Szuber a chance to make his season debut.

Wolf is expected to defend the cage on the road against the Rangers on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Wolf is set to feature in the second game of the Flames' back-to-back after Devin Cooley got the nod against the Caps on Monday. With just two more wins, the 24-year-old Wolf will reach the 20-win mark for the second straight year -- though he is unlikely to match the 29 victories he secured in 2024-25.

Andersen is expected to start at home versus the Penguins on Tuesday, per Walt Ruff and Peter Dewar of the Hurricanes' official site.

Andersen is set to make his fourth start in the last six games -- he's 2-1-0 with a 2.38 GAA and an .883 save percentage over his last three appearances. The Penguins snapped a three-game losing streak in a 5-4 overtime win over Boston on Sunday, but they will still be without Sidney Crosby (lower body) and Evgeni Malkin (suspension) on Tuesday. Andersen conceded five goals on 28 shots during a loss against Pittsburgh on Dec. 30, but that game was on the road.

Gostisbehere (lower body) won't play against Pittsburgh on Tuesday, per Walt Ruff and Peter Dewar of the Hurricanes' official site.

Gostisbehere will miss his second straight game, and it's unclear when he will be available to return to action. He has earned 11 goals, 43 points, 98 shots on net and 50 blocked shots in 45 appearances this season. Due to Gostisbehere's absence, Mike Reilly will remain in the lineup versus the Penguins on Tuesday.

Henrique (knee) won't play against Colorado on Tuesday.

Henrique remains day-to-day and will miss his second straight game. However, it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has contributed two goals, 10 points, 68 shots on net and 60 blocked shots across 48 appearances this season. Due to Henrque's absence, Josh Samanski will probably remain in the lineup against the Avalanche on Tuesday.

Dostal will patrol the crease for Tuesday's road clash with Winnipeg, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.

Dostal has given up four or more goals in four of his last seven outings, but he has still managed to post a 6-1-0 record along the way. The 25-year-old backstop has already set a new personal best with his 25 victories this year and should reach the 30-win threshold before the end of the campaign.

Hayton scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

Hayton has two goals over seven contests since the Olympic break. The 25-year-old center is up to nine goals, 23 points, 108 shots on net and 48 PIM through 59 appearances. He had a career-best 46 points last season, but Hayton has received fewer top-six chances in 2025-26, which has played a large role in his reduced output.

Grzelcyk's point drought reached eight games in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Grzelcyk has just one assist over his last 20 outings. The 32-year-old blueliner is still maintaining a third-pairing role, but he could lose that spot to Ethan Del Mastro if the Blackhawks fully embrace playing their prospects. For the season, Grzelcyk has 12 helpers, 64 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 26 hits, 28 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 64 appearances.

Bedard logged two assists, five shots on goal, four hits and two PIM in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Bedard has five points over his last four contests. The 20-year-old is continuing to provide steady offense on the top line and first power-play unit. For the season, he has reached the 60-point mark and remains on track for a career year. He has 26 goals, 34 assists, 18 power-play points, 170 shots on net and 38 PIM through 51 appearances.

Mangiapane scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Mangiapane picked up his first goal in three games since the Blackhawks acquired him from the Oilers. The 29-year-old winger is occupying a third-line role for now, and he's not getting power-play time yet. He has struggled this season with eight goals, 15 points, 53 shots on net, 56 hits, 38 PIM, 22 blocked shots and a minus-20 rating over 55 appearances.
