Demko has been sidelined for several weeks with a lower-body injury and if he returns to the crease on Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres, it would mark his first appearance between the pipes since November 11th. The 29-year-old Demko has battled adversity with injuries over the past several seasons and will likely be eased back into action upon his return. He has a 2.80 GAA and .903 SV% in 10 games (5-4-0) this season.

Mark Jankowski will draw back into the Hurricanes' lineup on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, sending Kotkaniemi to the sidelines as a healthy scratch.

Jesperi Kotkaniemi will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, allowing Jankowski to re-enter the lineup. The 31-year-old Jankowski has four points (1G / 3A) and is averaging 11:05 time-on-ice through 17 games this season.

The Bruins will look to extend their winning streak to three games with Swayman tending the twine on Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues.

The Blues' miserable 2025-26 season has some rare positive notes, riding a two-game winning streak and receiving impressive goaltending from Joel Hofer. The 25-year-old Hofer posted an ugly 3.70 GAA and .836 SV% in his first six games (1-5-0), but has been the most reliable goalie on the team in recent weeks, posting an excellent 2.00 GAA and .928 SV% in his last eight games (3-3-2). The Blues enter Tuesday's contest as -130 home favorites against a Boston Bruins team that defeated them 5-2 less than a week ago.

Necas has been outstanding in his first full season with Colorado, but could miss his first game due to illness. The 27-year-old forward had a career-high 83 points (27G / 56A) in 79 games last season and is pacing to shatter those totals in 2025-26, with 39 points (14G / 25A) in 29 games, a 110-point pace in 82 games.

Wedgewood has not played since suffering a lower-body injury a week ago, but he will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Nashville Predators.

Colorado enters the action on Tuesday as sizable -202 road favorites against a Nashville Predators team amid their best six-game stretch of the season (4-2-0).

With Thomas Harley (lower body) returning from a multi-week absence, Kolyachonok will exit the lineup and serve as a healthy scratch.

The red-hot Stars have points in 15 of their last 16 games (13-1-2), which can be largely attributed to solid tandem netminding from Jake Oettinger and Casey DeSmith. The 34-year-old DeSmith will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Winnipeg Jets. DeSmith has been outstanding in a supporting role this season, helping his team record at least a point in nine straight games (6-0-3) while posting a tremendous 1.90 GAA and .933 SV%. The Stars enter Tuesday's contest as -127 road favorites against a Jets team that has lost three of their last four (1-2-1).

Harley has not played since November 13th, and few details have been revealed about his injury. He was back at practice on Friday and will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 24-year-old Harley was battling the injury before being sidelined, resulting in a lackluster start to the season, with 10 points (1G / 9A) and a -7 plus/minus in 18 games. Before the start of the season, Stars' Head Coach Glen Gulutzan hinted that Harley and Miro Heiskanen may split time on the team's powerplay unit, but given Heiskanen's hot start to the season, it's unlikely that Harley sees much time outside of the second unit.

Pastrnak has been incredibly resilient for the Bruins, playing all 82 games in the previous three seasons, but has missed five games due to an undisclosed injury. That said, he is nearing a return and if he is unable to suit up against the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday, he should be ready to play on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 29-year-old elite Czech forward has 29 points (11G / 18A) in 25 games, factoring in on 37 percent of Boston's goals before his injury.

Kyrou played just 53 seconds before leaving Saturday's game with a lower-body injury that he sustained hit from Stephen Halliday.
