Swayman will guard the road crease against the Blues on Tuesday, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.

Swayman is 1-2-1 over his last four appearances, and he's allowed at least three goals in three of those contests. It may take some time for the 25-year-old to round into form after missing all of training camp due to a contract dispute. Swayman is 2-2-0 with a 3.26 GAA and an .865 GAA in four career appearances against the Blues. St. Louis has scored a meager 38 goals through 15 games.

Talbot will get the starting nod for Wednesday's matchup with Pittsburgh, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Talbot has been solid in his last five outings, posting a 2.01 GAA and .935 save percentage to go with a 3-1-1 record. In fact, that lone regulation loss came despite the veteran netminder limiting the Maple Leafs to just two goals on 19 shots Nov. 8. With the Penguins struggling, Talbot could be in line to pick up his fifth win of the season.

Skinner will tend the home twine versus the Islanders on Tuesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

Skinner made 17 saves on 20 shots in a 7-3 win over Vancouver in his last start. The 26-year-old has been inconsistent through the early portion of the campaign, and over his last six appearances, he's alternated wins and losses. The 6-foot-4 netminder has posted a 4-5-1 record, .883 save percentage, 3.25 GAA and one shutout through 10 appearances. Skinner will face an Islanders squad that ranks 28th in the league with 2.47 goals per game over 15 contests.

Kochetkov stopped 30 of 32 shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

It wouldn't be a stretch to say Kochetkov has been one of the best goaltenders in the NHL over the last few weeks, and the numbers undoubtedly back that up. He's won each of his last seven starts while posting a 2.28 GAA and a strong .911 save percentage in that stretch. Plus, Kochetkov has allowed two or fewer goals in five of those seven contests.

Schmid stopped all 12 shots he faced in relief of Adin Hill during Monday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

The Golden Knights gave up an empty-netter in the third period after Hill was pulled, but Schmid was solid when called upon duty, though the game was already decided by the time he entered the ice. Schmid is expected to remain Hill's backup in the even Ilya Samsonov (undisclosed) is unable to return to the ice in the near future.

Hill was pulled from Monday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes early in the second period. He stopped 17 of 21 shots before being lifted.

Hill has been all over the place this season and has been trending in the wrong direction of late, allowing four goals in back-to-back contests and in six of his 10 total appearances. Even though his 6-3-1 record might look decent, he has a 3.41 GAA and an .875 save percentage despite notching a shutout win over the Flames on Oct. 28. Hill is 2-1-1 with a 3.77 GAA and an .871 save percentage in four November outings.

Hellebuyck will be in the blue paint for Tuesday's road showdown with the Rangers, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Hellebuyck will attempt to win his sixth game in a row against a Rangers club that's scored 49 goals through 13 games. The 31-year-old has been otherworldly this season, and he's allowed just one goal on 89 shots across his last three wins, two of which were shutouts. It's early in the campaign, but Hellebuyck is the clear early favorite to win the Vezina trophy -- the Michigan native is 11-1-0 with a .935 save percentage and 1.83 GAA through 12 appearances.

Markstrom was the first goaltender off the ice at the morning skate, Devils play-by-play announcer Matt Loughlin reports, indicating he will guard the road goal versus Florida on Tuesday.

Markstrom has four wins in his last five outings while posting a .919 save percentage and one shutout. He has a 7-4-1 record with a 2.67 GAA and a .902 save percentage across 12 appearances this campaign. Florida has won seven consecutive contests and ranks fifth in the league with 3.80 goals per game in 2024-25.

Shesterkin was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today, indicating he will protect the home net Tuesday versus Winnipeg.

During his last appearance, Shesterkin allowed five goals on 12 shots before being pulled in a 6-1 loss to Buffalo on Nov. 7. He has a 6-3-1 record with one shutout, a 2.62 GAA and a .920 save percentage across 10 starts. Winnipeg has lost once through 15 games (14-1-0) in 2024-25 and ranks first in the league with 4.47 goals per game.

Binnington will patrol the home crease Tuesday versus Boston, according to Lou Korac of NHL.com.

During his last outing, Binnington surrendered eight goals on 27 shots in Saturday's 8-1 loss to Washington. He has a 4-6-0 record with a 3.28 GAA and an .886 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. Boston is tied for 26th in the league with 2.50 goals per game in 2024-25.
