NHL Player News

Lyon will defend the road net against Colorado on Tuesday, according to Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News.

Sebastian Cossa will be Lyon's backup because Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) and Cam Talbot (undisclosed) are unavailable. The 32-year-old Lyon made 16 saves on 17 shots in Monday's 5-1 win over Utah after Mrazek sustained an injury. Lyon has a 12-8-1 record with a 2.70 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 26 appearances this season. Colorado ranks sixth in the league with 3.34 goals per game in 2024-25.

Talbot (undisclosed) won't suit up for Tuesday's game versus the Avalanche, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.

Talbot has lost his last five outings, and it's possible he's been bothered by the injury for a while. He gave up five goals on 35 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights, which was his most recent game. Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) is also out Tuesday, so Alex Lyon will start and Sebastian Cossa was called up from AHL Grand Rapids to serve as the backup goalie.

Fleury will patrol the home crease against Vegas on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Fleury will get the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back after Filip Gustavsson played in Monday's 3-0 loss to Dallas. The 40-year-old Fleury has one victory in his last four outings (1-3-0), allowing 13 goals on 116 shots. He has a 12-8-1 record with a 2.72 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 22 appearances this season. Vegas ranks fourth in the league with 3.37 goals per game in 2024-25.

Stolarz will protect the home net against Philadelphia on Tuesday, according to Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun.

Stolarz is coming off a 27-save effort in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Rangers. He has a 14-8-3 record with one shutout, a 2.42 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 27 appearances this season. Philadelphia sits 25th in the league with 2.71 goals per game in 2024-25.

Reimer will be between the pipes Tuesday at home versus the Senators, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Reimer will make his third start in four games. It's an opportunity he's earned after defeating the Jets on Sunday with a 33-save effort in a 5-3 victory. The 37-year-old is 2-4-1 with a 2.96 GAA and a .905 save percentage since the start of January, and the Senators will be hungry to keep pace in the playoff race.

Cossa was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids under emergency conditions Tuesday.

Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) was hurt versus Utah on Monday, but this move suggests there may be something bothering either Cam Talbot or Alex Lyon as well. Cossa could dress for Tuesday's game versus the Avalanche. He has a 2.38 GAA and a .913 save percentage at the AHL level and also made his NHL debut Dec. 9 against the Sabres.

Saros is expected to start on the road against Carolina on Tuesday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Saros has a 17-27-6 record, 2.92 GAA and .896 save percentage in 51 appearances in 2024-25. He stopped 24 of 26 shots en route to a 5-2 victory over Toronto in his last start Saturday. Carolina ranks eighth in goals per game with 3.24.

Kolosov was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Philadelphia had three goaltenders on the roster before this season, and it appears that will be the case again, according to Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Samuel Ersson will start Tuesday's road matchup versus Toronto, and Ivan Fedotov will probably be the backup.

After being the first goaltender off the ice at the morning skate, Kuemper is expected to patrol the home crease against the Rangers on Tuesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Kuemper has won six of his last seven outings (6-1-0), stopping 143 of 150 shots. He has a 24-9-7 record with four shutouts, a 2.13 GAA and a .917 save percentage across 41 appearances this season. The Rangers have netted 2.99 goals per game in 2024-25, tying the team for 14th in the league.

Kochetkov will tend the home twine Tuesday versus the Predators.

Kochetkov's five-game winning streak was snapped in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Kings. That performance marked the first time this season that Kochetkov has surrendered more than four goals in a game. He has a 25-12-3 record, 2.49 GAA and .902 save percentage through 41 appearances. Fantasy managers should feel confident that the Russian netminder will bounce back Tuesday against a Nashville club that sits last in the NHL with 2.54 goals per game in 2024-25.
