Skinner (eye) said Tuesday that he feels good and his vision has improved, according to Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

Skinner was struck near his eye by a puck while sitting on the bench during Saturday's game against Florida, per DK Pittsburgh Sports. Skinner's status for Thursday's game in New Jersey has yet to be determined, but if he's unavailable, Arturs Silovs will more than likely get the start, while Sergei Murashov would be the backup in that scenario.

Jarry will be between the pipes for Tuesday's road matchup against Utah, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.

Jarry has stopped 33 of 36 shots en route to winning his last two outings. He has posted a record of 18-9-2 with two shutouts, a 3.26 GAA and an .884 save percentage in 31 games this season between Edmonton and Pittsburgh. Utah ranks 12th in the league with 3.26 goals per game this campaign.

Tarasov will guard the road goal against Montreal on Tuesday, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Greaves will defend the road net against the Red Wings on Tuesday, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Despite stopping 106 of the 117 shots he has faced, Greaves has gone 0-3-1 in his last four outings. He has a 24-16-9 record in the 2025-26 campaign with two shutouts, a 2.58 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 50 appearances. Detroit is tied for 21st in the league this season with 2.90 goals per game.

Contrary to a prior report, Fowler is not expected to be in goal against the Panthers on Tuesday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Lavoie is now reporting that Jakub Dobes was the first goaltender to leave the ice at the morning skate. With Fowler seemingly not being the starter for Tuesday's game, his next opportunity to tend the twine will be against Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Dobes was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against Florida on Tuesday.

Dobes has allowed only eight goals on 179 shots during his five-game winning streak. He has a 27-8-4 record this campaign with 2.73 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 39 appearances. Florida sits 20th in the league with 2.92 goals per game this season.

Hofer will defend the home net against the Avalanche on Tuesday, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.

Hofer will get his third straight start Tuesday, as he's posted solid performances in back-to-back wins in Anaheim and Colorado. The Manitoba native made 26 saves on 28 shots against the Avs on Sunday, keeping the Blues' playoff hopes alive in the process. Hofer will look to have a similar result Tuesday, as his club now sits five points behind the Kings for the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference.

Oettinger will be in goal at home versus Calgary on Tuesday, according to Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

Oettinger rebounded in his last start after a few shaky performances, as he registered a 22-save shutout over Winnipeg on Thursday. The American netminder will have a favorable matchup Tuesday, as the Flames have generated just 2.57 goals per game this season, the second-worst mark in the league. Furthermore, Calgary is 11-24-3 on the road this season, while Dallas is 23-11-4 at home.

Fowler is scheduled to occupy the home crease Tuesday against the Panthers, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Fowler's three-game winning streak was snapped at the hands of the Devils on Sunday, as he conceded two goals on 19 shots in a 3-0 loss. The 21-year-old is the preferred No. 2 option for the Canadiens these days, as Sam Montembeault hasn't been in goal since March 6 in Anaheim. As for Tuesday's opponent, Florida sits 20th in the NHL with 2.92 goals per game this season.

Hellebuyck made 22 saves in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

The Jets fell behind 1-0 in the first period, but three straight power-play goals put them in the lead for good. Hellebuyck appears to be back in Vezina form, although too late to save Winnipeg's season -- over his last seven starts, he's gone 5-2-0 with a 2.15 GAA and .910 save percentage.
