Tomkins was recalled from the AHL on Tuesday, per Diandra Loux.

Tomkins has started three games with the big club this season, recording an .889 save percentage and a 1-2-0 record. The 29-year-old was recalled in response to backup goalie Jonas Johansson being day-to-day with a lower-body injury. If Johansson is unavailable, Tomkins could see a start during the Lightning's upcoming back-to-back Wednesday and Thursday versus the Maple Leafs and Canadiens, respectively.

Fleury will be guarding the home crease Tuesday against Ottawa, per Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

Fleury struggled in his last start, surrendering five goals on 27 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss to St. Louis on Saturday. Overall, the 39-year-old has been just decent this year, recording an .899 save percentage and a 16-12-5 record in 36 starts. He will have a favorable matchup against Ottawa, a team which is 13-20-2 on the road this year.

Montembeault will be guarding the home crease against the Panthers on Tuesday, per Anthony Martineau of TVA Sports.

Montembeault stopped 27 of 29 shots en route to a 3-0 loss at home to Carolina in his last start Saturday. The 27-year-old has been solid this season, recording a .905 save percentage and a 14-14-7 record in 36 games played. He will look to establish himself as the Habs' No. 1 goaltender going into next year after Jake Allen was traded to New Jersey at this year's deadline.

Blackwood allowed three goals on 31 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Blackwood settled in after a rough first period, but the damage was already done. He's lost four of his last five starts, allowing 15 goals over that span, with his one win being a shutout. The 27-year-old is at 10-22-3 with a 3.41 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 40 outings this season. The Sharks' next game is Thursday at home versus the Kings.

Grubauer stopped 24 of 26 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Grubauer has cashed in on a couple of favorable matchups recently, winning against the Ducks and Sharks in his last two starts. The 32-year-old had lost four of his previous five outings prior to this improved run. He's at 12-13-2 with a 2.89 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 31 contests overall. The Kraken have been alternating starts with their goalies, so that would line up with Joey Daccord getting the nod for Wednesday's game in Los Angeles, with Grubauer tentatively projected to face the Ducks on Friday.

Talbot stopped 28 of 32 shots in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

Talbot lost his second start in a row. The Jets' second line of Cole Perfetti, Sean Monahan and Kyle Connor, as well as top defenseman Josh Morrissey, all had multiple points to lead the charge against the Kings. Talbot dropped to 23-18-6 with a 2.48 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 48 appearances. The Kings have a back-to-back up next with a home game Wednesday versus the Kraken followed by a visit to the Sharks on Thursday -- both matchups are favorable, so Talbot and David Rittich should make for solid fantasy options in the middle of the week.

Brossoit stopped 25 of 28 shots in Monday's 4-3 win over the Kings.

Brossoit played for the first time in five games and held his own against a tough opponent. He shut the door in the third period, and a goal from Cole Perfetti with 6:55 left ended up deciding the game. Brossoit has won six of his last eight outings and is now at 13-5-2 with a 2.10 GAA and a .925 save percentage through 21 appearances this season. Connor Hellebuyck is likely to start Thursday versus the Flames, but Brossoit could see an uptick in playing time once the Jets clinch a playoff spot.

Skinner allowed three goals on 29 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to St. Louis.

It's the second loss in Skinner's last five starts -- he'd gone 3-1-0 in his prior four outings despite a mediocre .890 save percentage in that span. Overall, the 25-year-old Skinner is 33-14-5 with a .906 save percentage and 2.63 GAA this season. He'll likely be back in net Wednesday when the Oilers visit Dallas.

Binnington turned aside 36 of 38 shots in a 3-2 overtime victory over the Oilers on Monday.

Binnington was stellar Monday, holding Edmonton to two goals on 38 shots, including 26 over the final two frames, en route to an eventual overtime win. Binnington's now won three of his last four outings, posting a .918 save percentage in that span. Overall, the 30-year-old Binnington is 27-19-4 with a .913 save percentage and 2.82 GAA this season. The Blues are back in action Thursday on the road in Nashville.

Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 31 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Vasilevskiy allowed just one goal through the first two periods but he'd surrender two goals in the final frame before Detroit added an empty-netter, sticking the 29-year-old netminder with a 4-2 defeat. It's the first loss in regulation since March 7 for Vasilevskiy -- he'd gone 7-0-1 with a .930 save percentage in his previous eight outings. Vasilevskiy's now 28-17-2 with a .900 save percentage and 2.86 GAA on the season. He figures to be back in net Wednesday when the Lightning visit Toronto.
