Blackwood will start Tuesday in Dallas.

Blackwood made 28 saves on 29 shots in the Devils loss to the Blackhawks last Friday. Blackwood has lost five of his last six starts (1-4-1) while posting a 3.58 GAA and .890 SV%. He's a terrible option in Dallas, where the Stars have won nine of their last 10 (9-1-0) while scoring 3.80 goals per game.

Makar is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

Makar was forced to leave Saturday's game in Boston after taking a hard hit from Brad Marchand. Makar was not on the ice for Monday's morning skate and will not play vs. the Flames. Head coach Jared Bednar called him "day-to-day" but said there's a chance that he will play this week. With Makar out, Samuel Girard will be on Colorado's top power-play unit.

Francouz will start Monday vs. the Flames.

Francouz stopped all 16 shots that he faced after replacing Philipp Grubauer in Colorado's win in Boston on Saturday. It was another strong outing for Francouz, who has won three straight while stopping 88 of the 92 shots (.957 SV%) that he has faced. Tonight he faces a Flames team on a six-game point streak, going 5-0-1 while scoring 3.17 goals per game.

Blackwood will start Friday vs. the Blackhawks.

Blackwood surrendered four goals on 30 shots in the Devils' loss to the Golden Knights on Tuesday. In his last six outings, Blackwood has gone 1-4-0 while posting a horrible 4.12 GAA and. 878 SV%. Tonight he takes on a Blackhawks team that played last night and come in having lost six of their last eight (2-5-1) while scoring 2.13 goals per game.

Landeskog (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.

Landeskog has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since October 26th but all signs are pointing towards him playing Thursday in Montreal. Landeskog, who had three goals and four assists in 11 games before getting hurt, will likely be back on the top-line with Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen.

Blackwood will start Tuesday vs. the Golden Knights.

Blackwood allowed two goals on 17 shots after replacing Louis Domingue in last night's blowout loss in Buffalo. On the tail-end of a back-to-back, Blackwood will make his 18th start of the season. The 22-year-old has gone 3-4-3 with a 2.74 GAA and .895 SV% on home-ice this season so it'd be wise to avoid him with the Golden Knights in town.
