Allen will protect the road goal versus the Stars on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Allen will make his second start in a row after holding the Capitals to one goal on 27 shots in a 2-1 loss Friday. The 35-year-old has mostly served as backup to Jacob Markstrom this season -- this will be Allen's fourth outing in 13 games since the Olympic break. Even with the Stars missing some pieces, they're a tough challenge, making Allen a risky fantasy play on a busy schedule.

Legault was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Tuesday.

The Hurricanes had a question mark in their lineup Tuesday, but Legault was ultimately not needed to play. The 22-year-old defenseman will be an option whenever Carolina needs another call-up.

Vasilevskiy will start in Tuesday's home matchup against the Wild, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Following Sunday's game of rest, Vasilevskiy will return to action and look to continue his recent success. Over his last five outings, he's been elite with a 4-1-0 record, a 2.01 GAA and a .920 save percentage. Overall, the 31-year-old superstar has a 33-12-3 record, a 2.29 GAA and a .913 save percentage through 48 appearances this season. He'll face the Wild, who profile as a relatively difficult matchup with 3.23 goals per game this season, which ranks 12th in the league.

Anderson (upper body) will return to the lineup against Carolina on Tuesday, according to Eric Engels of Sportsnet.

After missing the last two games, Anderson will return to a bottom-six role versus the Hurricanes. He has contributed 13 goals, 22 points, 78 shots on net, 112 hits and 52 PIM across 61 appearances this season.

Ullmark will start Tuesday's road clash against the Red Wings, per Ansar Khan of MLive.com.

Ullmark has played exceptionally well as of late to help the Senators get back into playoff contention. Overall, the 32-year-old netminder has a 22-10-7 record, a 2.77 GAA and an .885 save percentage across 40 appearances this season. Since Jan. 31, however, he has an 8-2-2 record, a 2.34 GAA and an .897 save percentage. He'll play a big role in Tuesday's pivotal clash where the Senators will look to tie the Red Wings' win total.

Jeannot (undisclosed) is expected to play Tuesday versus the Maple Leafs, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports.

Jeannot was on the ice for Tuesday's optional skate, and it looks like he'll be able to play despite being limited to non-contact work in Monday's practice. The 28-year-old is slated to fill a fourth-line role as usual.

Larkin (leg) is expected to play against Ottawa on Tuesday, according to Ansar Khan of MLive.com.

Following a seven-game absence, Larkin will return to the top line and first power-play unit versus the Senators on Tuesday. He has compiled 28 goals, 55 points and 190 shots on net over 63 games this season.

Roy (upper body) is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Penguins, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

Roy scored a goal but logged just 8:40 of ice time versus the Capitals on Sunday. He had been over the 10-minute mark in the seven prior contests, so it appears he came out of that game at less than 100 percent. The Avalanche are getting a boost Tuesday with Ross Colton (upper body) and Logan O'Connor (hip) both ready to play.

Thompson will start Tuesday's road clash against the Blues, per Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site.

Thompson will look to stay hot against the Blues, who enter Tuesday's contest equally scorching. Over his past 11 appearances, Thompson hasn't allowed more than three goals in a game while posting a 6-3-2 record, a 2.09 GAA and a .924 save percentage. Overall, the 29-year-old netminder has a 24-19-6 record, a 2.38 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 49 outings this season. Despite the difficult matchup, his strong resume makes him a good option in most fantasy formats for Tuesday and beyond.

Hedman (illness) won't play against Minnesota on Tuesday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Hedman will miss his third straight game, and it's unclear if he will be ready for Thursday's matchup against Seattle. He has registered one goal, 16 assists, 50 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and 19 hits across 33 appearances this season.
