Cotter has been held without a point in five straight contests and will head to the press box Thursday vs. Seattle as he is replaced by Pavel Dorofeyev (undisclosed). The 24-year-old Cotter is in his third NHL season and has already passed career highs in games played (65), points (22) and PIMs (39) in 2023-24.

Brown did not play on Tuesday but will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres, replacing Derek Ryan, who will be a healthy scratch. Last week, Brown scored his first goal of the season on his 89th shot.

Markstrom has missed the last five games due to a lower-body injury but could return to the crease as soon as Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks. Dustin Wolf will likely serve as Markstrom's backup for the duration of the season as Dan Vladar is set to undergo season-ending hip surgery.

The Devils will return to Allen in the crease for the third straight game on Thursday when they face off against the Winnipeg Jets. Allen has been excellent since being acquired in a pre-deadline trade, allowing only six total goals in three games (2-1-0), and posting a tremendous .946 SV%. That said, the Devils enter action as +109 home underdogs against a Jets club that has outscored their opposition 16-3 during a three-game winning streak.

Brown will be the odd-man out on Tuesday when the Oilers host the Habs. Derek Ryan will draw into the lineup in his place.

Gruden will draw into the Penguins lineup for the first time since March 10th as he draws into the lineup in place of the injured Jeff Cater (upper-body). Gruden has one goal in 11 NHL games this season.

Pavel Dorofeyev will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Cotter to re-enter the lineup. Cotter did not play the last two games and has been held without a point in four straight contests.

The Devils will turn to Allen for the third time in the last four games since he made his team debut less than a week ago. Allen has been tremendous in two games (1-1-0) as a Devil, saving 69 of 73 combined shots (.945 SV%). The Devils' offence has been limited to only one goal in three of their last four games (1-3-0), but they enter action against the Penguins as -125 home favourites.

Jayden Struble will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Kovacevic to return to the lineup after a one-game absence. Kovacevic has only played twice in the last six games, being held off the scoresheet while averaging fewer than 15 minutes of ice time.

Gruden was placed on waivers by Pittsburgh last week but will return to the club on Tuesday. Gruden has spent most of the 2023-24 campaign Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (AHL), where he has 23 points (13G / 10A) in 41 games this season.

John Marino (upper-body) will not play on Tuesday, allowing Hatakka to enter the Devils' lineup. Hatakka has played nine games with the Devils this season, tallying two points (0G / 2A) and a +6 plus/minus.

The Devils will likely turn to Allen for the third time in the last four games since he made his team debut less than a week ago. Allen has been tremendous in two games (1-1-0) as a Devil, saving 69 of 73 combined shots (.945 SV%). The Devils' offence has been limited to only one goal in three of their last four games (1-3-0), but they enter action against the Penguins as -125 home favourites.

Markstrom has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury and will miss at least one more. Dustin Wolf has filled in admirably so far since Markstrom's injury, saving 67 of 70 shots (.957 SV%), winning both of his starts, and will start again Monday against the Washington Capitals.
