With Los Angeles on the second half of a Western Canada back-to-back, Cam Talbot will take the crease on Tuesday in Calgary after backing up with the night off Monday. The 36-year-old was one of the NHL's best goaltenders in the first half of the season but has had a nightmarish run since the turn of the new year which has affected his overall numbers. He still owns an impressive 16-13-5 record, 2.53 GAA and .913 SV% on the season regardless. He takes on the surprisingly surging Calgary Flames, who have won three straight games and are improving offensively as they rank 16th in the NHL in goals per game (3.12).

Lyon returns to Detroit's crease on Tuesday vs. Washington after backing up in the second half of a back-to-back on Sunday. The 31-year-old has been a godsend for the playoff-hungry Red Wings', who signed a one-year contract in the offseason and is 17-8-2 with a 2.68 GAA and .916 SV%. He will face the surprisingly hot Washington Capitals on Tuesday, who are coming off a 6-3 win over Ottawa on Monday and have won four of their last five games.

The Red Wings will turn to Lyon on Saturday, the front end of a back-to-back, for his third straight start. Lyon was outstanding on Thursday night, saving 30 of 31 shots (.968 SV%) against the typically high-scoring Colorado Avalanche in a 2-1 overtime victory. The Red Wings will look to extend their winning streak to four games on Saturday afternoon against a St. Louis Blue club coming off an impressive 4-0 win over the New York Islanders.

Mrazek had the night off in Chicago's 3-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday but will return to the crease on Friday night. The Czech netminder had a rough time in his last outing, allowing five goals on 41 shots (.878 SV%) in a 6-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. The Blackhawks enter action as +237 home underdogs against a Winnipeg Jets club that is 4-5-1 in their last 10.

Lagesson hasn't played since suffering an upper-body injury in Saturday's game against the Ducks. He's expected to skate alongside Morgan Rielly as he's set to return from his five-game suspension.

The Red Wings remain committed to Lyon, who will start for the third time in the last four games for the Red Wings. Lyon was excellent in his last outing, saving 38 of 41 shots (.927 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime victory over the Seattle Kraken. That said, Lyon and the Red Wings welcome a challenging foe on Thursday night as the Colorado Avalanche and their league-best offence (3.68 GF / GP) visit Detroit.

Talbot will return to the crease on Tuesday, starting consecutive games for only the second time in over a month. The veteran netminder was tremendous on Sunday, saving 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) in a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, his first win since December 23rd, ending an abysmal 11-game stretch (0-7-3) where he posted a .877 SV%. The Kings are -245 home favourites against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

Rasmussen is on pace to set career-highs in all major offensive categories this season and has been rewarded with a four-year $12.8 million contract extension. In 55 games this season, Rasmussen has 23 points (11G / 12A), 74 shots, and 91 hits.

Mrazek will return to the crease for the seventh time in the last eight games for the Blackhawks. The Czech netminder helped the Blackhawks snap an eight-game losing skid on Saturday with a stellar performance, saving 40 of 42 shots (.952 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators. Mrazek has been a bright spot all season for a poor Blackhawks squad, keeping them within reaching distance of the opposition on most nights. That said, the Blackhawks enter action as +369 road underdogs against the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday.

Watson returned from a three-game absence on Saturday, registering 17 penalty minutes and two hits in 9:11 time-on-ice, but will return to the pressbox on Monday as a healthy scratch. The bruising forward has played only twice in the last 10 games.

Lyon will return to the crease on Monday after having a rare night off in the Red Wings last contest on Saturday. The 31-year-old Lyon has established himself as the go-to guy between the pipes for the Red Wings but has lost his footing lately and was shown up on Saturday by James Reimer, who recorded a 38-save shutout. In his last two games, Lyon has allowed 11 goals on 50 shots (.780 SV%), a blip on an otherwise impressive season. The Red Wings are +126 road underdogs on Monday afternoon against a Seattle Kraken club riding a two-game winning streak.
