Martin last played on November 19th, allowing four goals on 25 shots (.840 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers and will return to the crease on the back end of a back-to-back Monday against the Boston Bruins. Martin has contributed to the Blue Jackets' bottom-third defence (3.45 GA / GP) with a 3.37 GAA and .898 SV% through eight appearances (1-5-1). The Blue Jackets are sizeable +215 home underdogs against a Bruins team that has lost three of their last four (1-2-1), their worst stretch of the season.

Taylor Hall was acquired in the offseason for two players but has endured a season filled with injuries and will now be out for the remainder of the 2023-24 season as he undergoes right knee surgery. The 32-year-old left-winger ends his season with two goals, two assists, 20 SOG, four PIMs, and a -3 plus/minus in 10 games played.

Jost will replace Peyton Krebs, who will be a healthy scratch for the Sabres on Wednesday. Jost did not play in the last game for the Sabres but has dressed in 13 of 18 games this season, tallying two points (1G / 1A), and 17 shots on goal while averaging 11:10 time-on-ice. He is expected to slot in on the third line between Jordan Greenway and Victor Olofsson.

Katchouk will slide into the Blackhawks' lineup, his first game since November 16th, replacing Taylor Hall, who is dealing with an undisclosed injury.

Robinson has a goal, three assists, and a +3 plus/minus in nine games with Cleveland (AHL) but has been recalled to Columbus Tuesday. The 28-year-old left-winger will head to the Blue Jackets for a second time this season and has only appeared in one game so far without a point after appearing in 139 games across the last two seasons. In 2022-23, he had 12 goals and 24 points in 72 games with Columbus.

Hall has missed the Blackhawks' previous two games due to a lower-body injury and will take warmups and be a game-time decision Saturday vs. Nashville. The 32-year-old is in his first season in Chicago after an offseason trade from Boston, and has two goals, two assists, 15 SOG, four PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through eight injury riddled games so far in 2023-24.

The 28th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft has yet to make his NHL debut but had 32 points (13G / 19A) in 50 AHL games a season ago. Suzuki will start his 2023-24 campaign with the Springfield Thunderbirds of the AHL.

Kochetkov will start his second consecutive game for the Hurricanes as the 24-year-old Russian netminder is reeling after a 22-save, 4-0 shutout victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. Before his strong performance on Saturday, Kochetkov had lost all three appearances (0-3-0), allowing 11 goals on 67 shots (.836 SV%). The Hurricanes will hope to keep things rolling for Kochetkov on Wednesday as they are -248 home favourites against a Philadelphia Flyers team on a two-game winning streak.

Roslovic left the Blue Jackets' previous game vs. the Rangers after 16:17 TOI after blocking a shot and will now miss 4-6 weeks with a fractured ankle. The 26-year-old heads to the injured reserve with two goals, six assists, 29 SOG, six PIMs, and a -6 plus/minus through 14 games prior to his injury. David Jiricek has been recalled in a corresponding roster move.

Roslovic played the entire game for the Blue Jackets on Sunday but suffered an undisclosed injury at some point and has since been placed on the injured reserve, meaning he will miss at least one week. Roslovic was off to a strong start this season, tallying eight points (2G / 6A) in 14 games and 29 shots while averaging 16:31 time-on-ice. Kent Johnson, who was sent down to Cleveland (AHL) last week, could be an option to replace Roslovic's offence for the Blue Jackets should they opt to recall him.
