Alex Lyon will draw back into the Panthers' lineup and backup Sergei Bobrovsky Tuesday.

Lyon was 9-8-2 with a 2.55 GAA and .909 SV% with the Charlotte Checkers (AHL) and will dress for the Florida Panthers as their backup netminder Tuesday as a replacement for the injured Spencer Knight (undisclosed).

Georgiev will likely start Tuesday vs. the Panthers.

Georgiev stopped 28 of 30 shots (.933 SV%) to snap a five-game losing streak as he beat Edmonton in his previous start. The 26-year-old has been solid for most of his first season in Colorado, with his 16-10-3 record, 2.67 GAA and .916 SV%. He will take on the Florida Panthers, who lost to Dallas 5-1 their last time out but are 2nd in the NHL in shots per game (35.7).

Ukko-Pekka Luukonen has been loaned to Rochester (AHL).

Luukonen has a 9-3-1 record, 3.49 GAA and .894 SV% this season but will surprisingly be loaned back to Rochester (AHL) as Eric Comrie returns from a lower-body injury. The 23-year-old is expected to return to the club this season so this is just a temporary move.

Georgiev starts Thursday in Vancouver.

Georgiev allowed three goals on 28 shots (.893 SV%) for his fourth straight loss as he was beaten by Vegas in his previous start. The 26-year-old has been faltering as of late, but still holds a strong 15-6-3 record, with a .915 SV% and 2.68 GAA. He will hope for better fortunes against the Vancouver Canucks, who have lost their last three games after a 6-2 loss to the New York Islanders last game.

Carson Meyer will draw back into the Blue Jackets' lineup Thursday vs. Washington.

Meyer has yet to pick up a point across nine games with the Blue Jackets' but will draw back into the lineup as Eric Robinson misses Thursday's game due to injury (upper body). Mayer will hope to duplicate some of the success he was having in Cleveland (AHL) before he was recalled, as he had six goals and 18 points across 15 games.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will start Tuesday vs. Washington.

Luukkonen stopped 37 of 40 shots (.925 SV%) for his fourth straight win as he picked up a surprising victory over Boston in his last start. The 23-year-old has taken over Buffalo's starting crease due to his 7-3-1 record, 3.35 GAA and .896 SV%. He will take on the Washington Capitals, who have won six of their last seven games after a 9-2 thumping of Montreal in their previous game.
