Martin made his NHL debut in Nashville's season-opener, playing consecutive games and recording one point (0G / 1A). The 18-year-old proceeded to be a healthy scratch in four straight before drawing back into the lineup for his third career game on Tuesday. He was the fifth-overall pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft and will report back to the Soo Saint Marie Greyhounds (OHL).
Mayo was recalled by the Blue Jackets for precautionary reasons over the weekend but did not draw into the lineup and will return to the Cleveland Monsters (AHL). The 29-year-old defenseman has two points (0G / 2A) in four games with Cleveland this season.
Alex Lyon has started every game for the Sabres in the 2025-26 season, but the team will likely turn to Ellis for his first career start on Wednesday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 25-year-old Ellis was drafted 93rd overall by the St. Louis Blues in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. He spent the entire 2024-25 season in the AHL, where he posted a solid 2.63 GAA and .922 SV% in 42 games (22-14-3). The Sabres enter Wednesday's contest with even-105 odds against one of the NHL's hottest teams, the Detroit Red Wings, who are riding a five-game winning streak.
Utah (4-2-0) is off to a strong start early in the 2025-26 season, among the top teams in the Central Division. They currently rank among the stingiest defensive teams, allowing only 2.17 goals per game. Vejmelka, who returns to the crease on Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche, has been an active contributor to Utah's defensive prowess, posting a 2.00 GAA and .912 SV% in four outings (3-1-0). That said, Utah enters Tuesday's contest as +128 home underdogs against a Colorado team that leads the Central Division.
Colorado's de facto starting netminder to open the campaign, Wedgewood has thrived in Mackenzie Blackwood's absence, and he's making an argument to continue seeing substantial playing time even once Blackwood is cleared to return. Wedgewood is yet to be tagged with a regulation loss and leads the league with five wins across his six starts, while also posting an otherworldly .938 SV% and 1.48 GAA. He's a great bet to stay in the win column on Tuesday as the Avalanche enter action at -150 on the money line.
Johnston will re-enter Anaheim's lineup on Tuesday after serving as a healthy scratch on Sunday. He will slot in for Chris Kreider, who was a surprise scratch due to an illness.

The Ducks will hand Dostal the reigns between the pipes for the fifth time this season when they head to Nashville to take on the Predators on Tuesday. Dostal was unfortunate not to secure a victory in his last start, allowing just two goals on 30 shots in a 2-1 overtime loss in Chicago on Sunday. His record now sits at 1-2-1 to go along with his .898 SV% and 3.02 GAA. Dostal and the Ducks enter action on Tuesday at +115 on the money line.
After missing the last two games due to a lower-body injury, Kuemper will return to the crease on Tuesday for the first time since October 13th. Kuemper turned away 23 of the 26 shots he faced in that game, as the Kings fell to the Wild 4-3 in a shootout. The 35 year-old netminder is still in search of his first victory of the season as the Kings enter action on Tuesday at +110 on the money line.
Hampus Lindholm did not play on Sunday, supposedly given an extra day of maintenance after returning from an injury, but will now unexpectedly remain sidelined on Tuesday. Jordan Harris will exit the lineup to accommodate Lindholm's return
After a 3-0-0 start to the season, the Bruins have lost four straight (0-4-0) and hope to return to the win column on Tuesday with Swayman tending the twine against the Florida Panthers. Swayman has maintained a serviceable 2-2-0 record and been reliable between the pipes, posting a 2.76 GAA and .917 SV%. The 26-year-old netminder is coming off a 34-save performance (.919 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. The Bruins enter Tuesday's contest as +134 home underdogs against a Panthers team also amid a four-game losing skid (0-4-0).
Hayden will make his third appearance of the young season when Seattle visits Washington on Tuesday. He'll slot in for Mason Marchment, who was a late scratch with an undisclosed injury.
Gaudette is battling an illness and his status for Tuesday's game against the New York Islanders was up in the air. The 29-year-old forward is averaging 10:38 time-on-ice and has two points (1G / 1A) through five games this season.

Murray is set to make his Kraken debut on Tuesday after signing a one-year contract with Seattle in the off-season. Murray appeared in just two NHL games with the Maple Leafs last season, posting a 1-1-0 record and an .879 SV%. He spent the majority of the season with the AHL's Toronto Marlies, where he compiled a 10-5-4 record with a rather impressive .934 SV%. He'll have his hands full in his debut on Tuesday, as the Kraken enter action as substantial underdogs at +230 on the money line.
Meyers is an undrafted forward that has played 75 career games in the NHL, recording eight points (6G / 2A). The 26-year-old Meyers spent most of the 2024-25 season in the AHL, where he scored 51 points (23G / 28A) in 57 games with the Coachella Valley Firebirds.
