Vladar will draw the road start in Tuesday's clash against New Jersey, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Vladar will look to extend his two-game win streak Tuesday and attempt to earn his seventh victory in his last 10 games. Overall, the 28-year-old netminder has a 26-13-7 record, a 2.43 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 48 appearances this season. He has been excellent down the stretch of the regular season and has been a major component as to why the Flyers currently occupy the third playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division. He'll face off against New Jersey on Tuesday, which should be a favorable matchup for Vladar given the team's 26th-ranked 2.78 goals per game this season.

Tolopilo will guard the home goal against the Golden Knights on Tuesday, per Canucks Insider.

Tolopilo has been lit up in each of his last four starts, allowing at least four goals during his four-game losing streak. The Belarusian netminder is 5-9-2 with a 3.73 GAA and an .880 save percentage over 18 outings in 2025-26. Tolopilo will face a Vegas squad that has won each of its first three games under new bench boss John Tortorella, including a win against the Canucks on March 30.

Kane (upper body) won't play against Vegas on Tuesday, according to Olivia McDonald of Canucks Insider.

Kane has been dealing with a lingering injury and will miss his third game in the team's last four outings. He has accounted for 13 goals, 31 points, 171 shots on net, 111 hits and 92 PIM across 71 appearances this season.

Josi scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Kings.

Josi has a goal and four helpers over his last three games. The 35-year-old defenseman has earned three of his assists in that span with the man advantage. He'll continue seeing massive minutes as the Predators try to stay in the wild-card race. Josi has produced 53 points (23 on the power play), 174 shots on net, 99 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a minus-16 rating over 65 appearances this season.

Armia scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Predators.

Armia has three points, eight shots on net and four hits over his last three games. The 32-year-old continues to fill a third-line role for the Kings. He's up to 24 points, 84 shots on net, 70 hits, 36 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 62 appearances, so he may have some fantasy value in deep formats.

Eklund scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Eklund has earned five points, including two goals, over his last three games. The winger is up to 14 tallies, 48 points, 165 shots on net, 64 hits, 50 blocked shots and a minus-31 rating across 72 appearances. Eklund continues to see steady second-line usage and offers multi-category upside late in the season.

Gauthier (upper body) won't play against Nashville on Tuesday and is expected to miss Thursday's matchup against San Jose, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

The Ducks hope Gauthier will be available to return for Sunday's contest against Vancouver, which is the final game of Anaheim's five-game homestand. He has already missed the past three outings and has done some light skating on his own, but he hasn't been participating in practices. Gauthier has registered 38 goals, 65 points and 271 shots on net in 73 appearances this season.

Dostal will patrol the home blue paint versus the Predators on Tuesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

It's been a tough stretch for Dostal lately, as he's been blitzed for 13 goals on 83 shots (.843 save percentage) over his last three appearances, all of which were regulation losses. The 25-year-old goaltender hasn't played since Friday, and the Ducks have been off since Saturday. Meanwhile, the Predators are on the second half of a back-to-back after falling to the Kings on Monday in a shootout.

Gudas (lower body) remains without a clear recovery timeline but is "getting closer every day," according to head coach Joel Quenneville, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports Tuesday.

Gudas won't be an option for at least Tuesday's clash with Nashville, and it also seems unlikely he'll be ready to play against the Sharks on Thursday, with Quenneville stating, "He gets in a practice or two with the guys, and he'll be... could be playing right after that." Based on that comment, it seems like Gudas could be an option versus Vancouver on Sunday, barring any setbacks.

Laughton scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Predators.

Laughton found the back of the net at the 13:57 mark of the second period with a wrister, giving him 13 goals on the year. However, the 31-year-old veteran is a bottom-six forward who's more known for his defensive prowess and physical attributes than for his scoring. Since being acquired from the Maple Leafs on March 6, Laughton has suited up in 16 games for the Kings, tallying five goals, seven points, 36 hits and 11 blocked shots.
