Bobrovsky stopped 31 of 33 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche, with Colorado's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

The veteran netminder had a shutout going late in the second period until Devon Toews' point shot hit the crossbar, bounced off the ice and then caromed into the net off Bobrovsky's backside to tie the game at 1-1. Toews then scored again midway through the third, and the Panthers couldn't find a response. Bobrovsky has lost three of his last four starts despite playing well due to a sudden lack of offensive support -- the Panthers scored just two goals total in those four games. Over his last 10 outings, Bobrovsky is 6-4-0 with a 2.28 GAA and a .919 save percentage.

Lyon will start in Tuesday's home game against the Senators, Carley Johnston of the Red Wings' official site reports.

Lyon has won three consecutive games while allowing just two goals in each outing. The 32-year-old stopped 21 shots in a 4-2 road win over Winnipeg in his last start. The Senators sit 20th in the NHL with 2.95 goals per game.

Jarry was the first goalie off at Tuesday's morning skate, indicating he'll tend the home twine against the Blue Jackets, according to Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Jarry made 31 saves in a 3-2 shootout loss to Florida on Friday to open the new calendar year. The Blue Jackets have generated 135 goals through 40 games, which is tied for the seventh-highest mark in the NHL. Jarry owns an 8-2-1 record, .916 save percentage and 2.63 GAA over 12 career appearances against Columbus.

Merzlikins will protect the road crease against the Penguins on Tuesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers relays.

Merzlikins has won three of his last four starts but has conceded at least three goals in three of those outings. The Latvian netminder hasn't fared well in nine career games against the Penguins, sporting a 2-6-0 record, .896 save percentage and 3.78 GAA. Pittsburgh is 0-1-2 in its last three games.

Montembeault made 16 saves in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.

Montreal fell behind 3-1 early in the second period, but Montembeault was able to keep his focus despite a lack of activity and give his squad a chance to mount a comeback. The 28-year-old netminder has allowed four or more goals in three of his last five starts, and over his last 10 outings, he sports a shaky 3.19 GAA and .877 save percentage despite a 6-4-0 record.

Quick will be between the home pipes against the Stars on Tuesday, per Colin Stephenson of Newsday.

Quick opened January with a 32-save win over Boston, but he allowed six goals in a defeat to the Capitals on Saturday. This will be Quick's 15th appearance of the season Tuesday -- he has a 6-5-0 record, .903 save percentage and 2.83 GAA in 2024-25. Dallas sits 10th in the NHL with 3.21 goals per game.

Skinner will guard the road crease Tuesday versus the Bruins, according to Mark Spector of Sportsnet.

Skinner has been sharp of late, going 4-0-1 in his last five outings while allowing two goals or less in each win. Boston ranks 27th in the NHL with 2.64 goals per game, but they're 12-6-3 on home ice in 2024-25. Skinner has a 3-2-1 record, 2.81 GAA and .902 save percentage against the Bruins in his career.

Grubauer stopped 26 of 29 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.

Grubauer had a solid display between the pipes, but the Kraken offense didn't provide him with enough support. This defeat extended his winless streak to three appearances, a span in which the 33-year-old German netminder has gone 0-2-1 with a 3.01 GAA and an .890 save percentage. The overall numbers have been subpar as well, as Grubauer has won just five of his 18 starts this season, going 5-12-1 with a 3.46 GAA and an .880 save percentage.

Swayman will be in the home blue paint Tuesday versus the Oilers, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.

Swayman has lost three consecutive games in regulation for the first time all season. The 26-year-old surrendered four goals in a loss to Toronto on Saturday. The Oilers have put up 3.28 goals per game, which ranks eighth in the NHL. Edmonton has a 10-5-2 record on the road in 2024-25.

Lankinen turned aside 19 shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Two of the goals against Lankinen came on Montreal power plays, including Nick Suzuki's OT winner, while a third tally deflected in off Quinn Hughes' skate. However, the 29-year-old netminder has been fighting the puck for a while -- Lankinen's gone 1-3-2 over his last six outings with a 3.05 GAA and an .865 save percentage. Thatcher Demko (back) is traveling with the Canucks on their current East Coast road trip, but it's not clear when he might be ready to return. If he's not able to play Wednesday in Washington, Arturs Silovs might be between the pipes instead of Lankinen.
