Talbot is expected to start in goal on the road versus the Blues on Tuesday.

Talbot is expected to start for the second game in a row. He'll likely continue to see a majority of the starts while Petr Mrazek (head) is out. Talbot was 1-5-0 with a 3.26 GAA and an .879 save percentage over six games in March, and he'll be facing the hottest team in the league Tuesday.

Reimer will start in goal on the road versus the Senators on Tuesday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Reimer has taken over the Sabres' No. 1 job in goal late in the season. He's started five of the last seven games, going 4-1-0 with a 3.22 GAA and an .895 save percentage in that span. The Senators are 3-2-1 with 13 goals scored over their last six games and will be without captain Brady Tkachuk (upper body), so Reimer may be a decent streaming option for fantasy managers.

Saros will defend the crease against the Jackets on the road Tuesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Saros has struggled this season, managing just 18 wins in 53 appearances this year while posting a career-worst 2.89 GAA. This will be the first time since the 2020-21 campaign that Saros fails to reach the 30-win mark. With the Preds eliminated from postseason contention, the club could decide to split the workload between Saros and Justus Annunen down the stretch in order to get a better look at the 25-year-old Annunen.

Georgiev will patrol the crease for Tuesday's road clash versus Anaheim, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Georgiev gave up 11 goals on 68 shots (.838 save percentage) in his last two outings. He'll face a Ducks squad that is generating just 2.71 goals per game this year, a significantly easier matchup compared to his last two opponents, the Maple Leafs and the Rangers.

Kuemper was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against Winnipeg on Tuesday.

Kuemper has allowed two goals or fewer in 10 straight appearances, posting a 7-2-1 record with a .947 save percentage. He has gone 25-10-7 with four shutouts, a 2.10 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 43 starts this season. Winnipeg ranks third in the league with 3.45 goals per game in 2024-25.

Comrie (personal) was on the ice for the morning skate, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press, which indicates he'll be available to back up Connor Hellebuyck against the Kings on Tuesday.

Comrie was reported to have stayed in Winnipeg while awaiting the birth of his child, but he'll seemingly be available Tuesday after joining the team on the ice in Los Angeles. Chris Driedger was brought up from AHL Manitoba on Monday in the event that Comrie was unavailable in the short term, so Winnipeg had a backup plan in place behind Connor Hellebuyck.

Hellebuyck is set to start in Los Angeles on Tuesday, according to Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

Hellebuyck has turned aside 95 of 101 shots on goal (.941 save percentage) during his four-game winning streak. While it's been a stellar campaign for the Vezina Trophy favorite, Hellebuyck has struggled throughout his career against Los Angeles, holding a 6-8-1 record, 3.20 GAA and .902 save percentage. The Kings are 7-3-0 in their last 10 games and are coming off an 8-1 rout of the Sharks on Sunday.

Pickard will be between the road pipes against the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.

Pickard will make his fourth straight start due to Stuart Skinner's head injury. The 32-year-old Pickard is 18-8-1 with a 2.71 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 30 appearances in 2024-25. It will be a tough matchup Tuesday for the veteran netminder -- Vegas has won six straight games while potting 28 goals during that stretch. Pickard has never faced the Golden Knights in his career.

Hill will be in goal at home against Edmonton on Tuesday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Hill is riding a five-game winning streak and is undefeated in regulation over his last seven outings, going 6-0-1 with a 1.70 GAA and a .934 save percentage. With just one more victory, the 28-year-old backstop will reach the 30-win threshold for the first time in his eight-year NHL career.

Grubauer stopped 28 of 30 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Stars. The third goal was an empty-netter with 1:07 left in the third period.

Grubauer looked solid between the posts against one of the best teams in the Western Conference, but the offense didn't provide him enough support. Grubauer was limited to just four appearances in March, but his numbers were decent, as he went 2-2-0 with a 2.03 GAA and a .925 save percentage while stopping 98 of the 106 shots he faced.
