Chiarot did not finish the Red Wings' game in Carolina on Friday and is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Justin Holl will draw back into the Red Wings' lineup to replace the veteran blueliner.

Lyon allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Red Wings' loss in Carolina on Friday. Lyon has been outstanding for the Red Wings' this season, particularly in 2024, where he is 5-1-1 with a .923 SV% since January 2nd. Tonight, he will face a Lightning team that is on a five-game winning streak and has averaged 4.4 goals per game during that stretch.

Holl will be the odd-man out on Friday as Jake Walman is set to return from an illness. Holl has no goals and five assists in 30 games this season.

Mrazek will be back between the pipes for the Blackhawks on Friday after getting Thursday night off in favour of back-up netminder Arvid Soderblom. Mrazek has been in good form of late, posting a .929 SV% across his last five starts, though a predictable lack of goal support from his fellow Blackhawks means he's only been able to scrape together a pair of wins across that stretch. The 12-year-veteran has managed to post a respectable .907 SV% and an 11-16-1 record on the season despite playing behind one of the most underwhelming lineups in the league. As per usual, Mrazek and the Blackhawks find themselves as big underdogs on Friday, even on home ice, with the Islanders being favoured at -250 in Chicago.

Lyon will start for the ninth time in the last 10 games as he has been a driving force in the Red Wings' push for the playoffs. In his last contest, Lyon saved 32 of 34 shots (.941 SV%) in a 3-2 win over his former team, the Florida Panthers. Lyon has been a calming presence between the pipes for the Red Wings, providing stability while allowing three or fewer goals in each of his last six games (5-0-1), boasting a stellar .927 SV%. That said, the Red Wings are +180 road underdogs on Friday against the Carolina Hurricanes, coming off a 5-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings.

Rafferty will return to the Grand Rapids Griffins, where has 13 points (1G / 12A) in 33 games this season. The undrafted 28-year-old has three NHL games under his belt, most recently with the Vancouver Canucks in the 2020-21 season.

The Kings snapped a season-worst eight-game losing streak yesterday courtesy of a strong performance from David Rittich in a 5-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes and will return to starting goalie Cam Talbot on the back end of a back-to-back. Talbot has allowed three or more goals in five of his last seven games (0-4-3), posting a pedestrian .899 SV%. The Kings are +117 road underdogs on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars, who have won three of their last four contests (3-1-0).

Despite failing to register a win, Mrazek is amid a strong three-game stretch in which he has allowed only two goals in each contest, posting a .917 SV% against a series of difficult opponents. Mrazek will likely return to the crease on Monday against a more favourable foe, as the Blackhawks are a rare -145 home favourite against a San Jose Sharks team that was shut out 3-0 yesterday afternoon and has lost 14 of their last 15 games (1-14-0).

Lyon will tend the twine on Wednesday against the Florida Panthers, the team that he gained his notoriety with last season, leading them on a late-season push into the playoffs. Lyon is doing the same with the Red Wings this season despite starting the season as their third-string goaltender. He has unquestionably become their most reliable option between the pipes and has helped the Red Wings record at least a point in five straight (4-0-1), posting a stellar .924 SV%.

Kane exited Sunday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs early in the first period, playing only 1:07 time-on-ice, with a lower-body injury. Red Wings' head coach Derek Lalonde stated that he believed the injury was not related to his hip, which he had surgery on in the offseason, but he will miss at least the next two games. Kane has been a major contributor in the Red Wings offence, scoring 16 points (7G / 9A) and tallying 63 shots in 19 games.
