* = confirmed

Jeremy Swayman, BOS @ Jacob Markstrom, NJ (7 p.m. ET)

Elvis Merzlikins, CLM @ Joseph Woll, TOR (7:30 p.m. ET)

Connor Hellebuyck, WPG @ Mackenzie Blackwood, COL (9:30 p.m. ET)

Spencer Knight, FLA @ Darcy Kuemper, LA (10 p.m. ET)

Goalies

Elvis Merzlikins, CLM @ TOR (32% rostered)

Merzlikins lost Monday for the first time after winning four straight games. During that hot stretch, he registered a 2.45 goals-against average (GAA) and .906 save percentage. Columbus has back-to-back contests against Toronto and Carolina on Wednesday and Thursday with Merzlikins starting one game and either Daniil Tarasov (likely), who was brilliant Saturday versus the Rangers, or Jet Greaves the other. Merzlikins has a good shot at a win.

Spencer Knight, FLA @ LA (18% rostered)

Sergei Bobrovsky has hit a bit of a rough patch, notching just just one victory in his last six contests, going 1-4-1 with a 3.06 GAA over that stretch. Filling the breach created by that slump has been Knight, who hadrung up three straight wins, including a shutout Saturday. Knight has allowed just 12 goals in his last six starts (4-2-0) after surrendering 10 goals over two games to start December and has earned additional playing time. Look for him to post a solid GAA and strong save total.
