NHL Player News

Kochetkov will guard the road goal versus the Bruins on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Kochetkov will take his turn in the goalie rotation after Frederik Andersen shut out the Blue Jackets on Sunday. The 24-year-old Kochetkov has won four of his last six outings, allowing 15 goals in that span. He'll have a tough matchup Tuesday, as the Bruins enter the contest on a four-game winning streak.

Stolarz will guard the home goal versus the Senators on Tuesday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

Sergei Bobrovsky was previously expected to start Tuesday, but Stolarz led the Panthers onto the ice. The Panthers are poised to give Bobrovsky however much work he wants leading up to the playoffs, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Stolarz start more often. Stolarz has a favorable matchup for Tuesday's game.

Woll will defend the road net Tuesday against New Jersey, according to David Alter of The Hockey News.

Woll has struggled since returning to the lineup from an ankle injury, posting a 3-5-0 record with an .887 save percentage in eight appearances. He has a posted a mark of 11-10-1 this season with a 2.92 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 23 games played. New Jersey is tied for 10th in the league this campaign with 3.27 goals per contest.

Shesterkin will guard the road goal Tuesday against the Islanders, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today.

Shesterkin has won five of his last six outings, stopping 160 of 178 shots during that span. Through 52 appearances this season, he has provided a 34-16-2 record with a 2.64 GAA and a .910 save percentage. The Islanders sit 23rd in the league this campaign with 2.95 goals per contest.

Demko's (knee) workload is increasing daily, and he could return to action as soon as Saturday versus Edmonton, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.

Demko will miss a 13th straight game Wednesday against Arizona, but it's looking increasingly likely that he'll participate in a regular-season contest or two before the playoffs get underway. He's gone 34-13-2 while posting a 2.47 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 49 appearances this campaign.

Vejmelka will patrol the road crease versus the Kraken on Tuesday, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.

Vejmelka wasn't great in his last start Friday versus Vegas, surrendering four goals on just 24 shots, but he still came away with a win thanks to fantastic goal support from his teammates. He'll try to secure his 13th victory of the season in a road matchup with a Seattle squad that's averaging only 2.69 goals at home this year, 28th in the NHL.

Talbot is on track to guard the road goal versus Anaheim on Tuesday.

Talbot played well in his last start Saturday versus Vancouver, turning aside 39 of 42 shots en route to a 6-3 victory. He'll attempt to extend his personal winning streak to three games in a highly-favorable road matchup with a Ducks team that's 11-25-3 at home this year.

Korpisalo will patrol the crease for Tuesday's road clash with Florida, per NHL.com.

Korpisalo will be making his sixth consecutive appearance in goal, having gone 2-3-0 with a 2.94 GAA in his previous five outings. Despite the Senators having been officially eliminated from playoff contention, the club continues to lean on Korpisalo instead of giving Anton Forsberg some work. Still, the Sens end the year with a back-to-back against the Rangers and Bruins on Monday and Tuesday, respectively, so look for Korpisalo to get one of those two contests.

Gustavsson will guard the road goal Tuesday against the Avalanche, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Gustavsson made 31 saves on 35 shots in a 5-2 loss to Colorado on Thursday during his last start. He has a 19-17-4 record this season with a 3.07 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 43 games played. The Avalanche rank first in the league this campaign with 3.71 goals per contest.

Blackwood is slated to guard the home goal versus Calgary on Tuesday, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.

Blackwood struggled in his last start Sunday against Arizona, surrendering four goals on only 27 shots en route to a 5-2 defeat. He'll try to snap his personal three-game losing streak in a home matchup with a slumping Flames squad that's also lost three straight contests.
