Oettinger will guard the home goal against New Jersey on Tuesday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Oettinger's four-game winning streak was snapped Saturday in Minnesota, a game in which the 27-year-old made 26 saves on 28 shots in a 2-1 overtime loss in his home state. The 2017 first-round selection is 29-10-6 with a .903 save percentage and a 2.56 GAA through 45 outings this season. Oettinger has a favorable matchup against a Devils club that ranks 27th in the NHL with 2.65 goals per game in 2025-26.

McCann (lower body) is not expected to be an option for Tuesday's road matchup against the Panthers, according to Sound of Hockey.

McCann is slated to miss his second straight contest. The 29-year-old winger is considered day-to-day at this time. His next chance to suit up will be in Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Gostisbehere (lower body) won't play against Montreal on Tuesday, according to Patrick Friolet of RDS.

Gostisbehere will miss his ninth straight game, and it remains unclear when he will be available to return. He has generated 11 goals, 43 points, 98 shots on net and 50 blocked shots across 45 appearances this season.

Eriksson Ek (lower body) will suit up in Tampa Bay on Tuesday, per Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Eriksson Ek missed the last three games due to his lower-body injury. The 29-year-old center hasn't scored since Feb. 27 in Utah, and he has just two helpers and 23 shots on goal over his last nine appearances. The Wild are also getting Kirill Kaprizov back in the lineup Tuesday, so Nico Sturm and Hunter Haight will be healthy scratches as a result of the team getting two of its top players back against the Lightning.

Andersen has stopped 102 of the 117 shots he has faced during his five-game winning streak. He has a 13-11-5 record this campaign with a 3.12 GAA and an .874 save percentage across 29 appearances. Montreal ranks third in the league with 3.51 goals per game this season.

The 24-year-old holds a 23-13-8 record with two shutouts, a 2.58 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 45 appearances in 2025-26.

Colton (upper body) will play against Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

Gustavsson will occupy the road net Tuesday against the Lightning, per Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Gustavsson is currently at the top of his game -- he's won back-to-back outings and five of his last six while stopping 142 of 153 shots (.928 save percentage) in that time. One of those five wins came against Tampa Bay on March 3, a game during which the Swedish netminder allowed just one goal on 25 shots in a 5-1 win. This is the Lightning's first game at home following a four-game road trip out west, and they are coming off a 4-3 overtime loss in Calgary on Sunday.
