Kolosov will defend the road net Tuesday against Carolina, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.

Kolosov will make his second NHL start due to the absence of Samuel Ersson (lower body). The 22-year-old Kolosov has posted a mark of 0-2-0 through two appearances this season. He stopped 20 of 22 shots in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Boston after Ersson left the game early. Carolina ranks fifth in the league with 3.90 goals per game in 2024-25.

Kochetkov will draw the home start in Tuesday's divisional tilt against the Flyers, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Kochetkov has won four consecutive outings, and he's allowed more than two goals in a game just once during that span. The Hurricanes have done a great job of limiting scoring opportunities in front of him -- Kochetkov has faced more than 30 shots once this season through six appearances. Overall, Kochetkov is up to a 5-1-0 record with an .893 save percentage and a 2.51 GAA.

Ullmark will guard the road goal Tuesday versus Buffalo, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.

During his last start, Ullmark surrendered two goals on 18 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Rangers on Friday. He has a 2-3-0 record with a 2.62 GAA and a .902 save percentage through six appearances this season. Ullmark has performed well versus the Sabres, posting a mark of 4-1-0 with a 1.82 GAA and a .945 save percentage in five previous outings.

Gustavsson will protect the home net Tuesday against the Kings, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Gustavsson will make his third straight start following victories over Tampa Bay and Toronto on Friday and Sunday, respectively. He has a 6-1-1 record with a 2.12 GAA and a . 924 save percentage across eight outings this campaign. The Kings earned a 3-0 win over Nashville on Monday and rank 13th in the league with 3.23 goals per game this season.

Hellebuyck will patrol the home crease Tuesday versus Utah, per Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.

Hellebuyck stopped 26 shots in Sunday's 7-4 win over Tampa Bay to improve to 8-1-0 this season. He has one shutout, a 2.33 GAA and a .917 save percentage through nine outings. Utah ranks 15th in the league with 3.08 goals per game in 2024-25.

Stolarz will be between the pipes for Tuesday's divisional showdown versus Boston, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.

Stolarz made 31 saves on 33 shots in a 2-1 overtime loss to Minnesota in his last appearance. The 30-year-old netminder is up to a 4-2-2 record, .919 save percentage and 2.38 GAA across eight appearances. Stolarz will take on a Boston team averaging a meager 2.62 goals through 13 games.

Swayman will defend the road net Tuesday against the Maple Leafs.

Swayman is coming off a 23-save shutout win over Seattle on Sunday. He has a 4-4-1 record with a 3.16 GAA and an .895 save percentage through nine appearances this season. Swayman made 20 stops in a 4-3 overtime win over Toronto on Oct. 26.

Montembeault will be in the blue paint for Tuesday's home matchup against Calgary, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports

After starting the season with back-to-back wins, Montembeault is 1-5-0 over his last six appearances. The 28-year-old will face a Calgary club that sits 20th in the league with 2.83 goals per game. Through eight appearances, Montembeault is sporting a 3-5-0 record, .894 save percentage and 3.43 GAA.

Pickard stopped 13 of 16 shots in Monday's 3-0 loss to New Jersey.

Pickard was coming off three straight wins when called upon duty, but that streak was halted Monday in what was a subpar display from the 32-year-old. Pickard has been hit-or-miss this season, posting three games with a save percentage above .920 and three others with a mark below the .860 range. He should remain as Stuart Skinner's backup going forward, meaning his fantasy upside should be minimal and could only be worth considering as a streaming option.

Allen stopped 31 shots en route to a shutout in Monday's 3-0 win over the Oilers.

Allen delivered an impressive outing, which is something he desperately needed after conceding a combined 12 goals on 67 shots over his previous two appearances. Allen's been all over the place in the early going -- in addition to those two rough starts, he also posted a 20-save shutout against Utah on Oct. 14 and stopped 17 of 18 shots en route to a 3-1 win over Buffalo on Oct. 5. He should continue to operate as Jacob Markstrom's backup, meaning he won't see steady work between the pipes any time soon. After Allen's previous shutout, he still warmed the bench for New Jersey's subsequent three games, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Devils go back to Markstrom for Thursday's home tilt against Montreal.
