Talbot will defend the road net in Tuesday's clash against the Flyers, per Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Talbot put together a strong performance in his last outing, when he allowed just one goal to the Golden Knights in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win. Overall, the 39-year-old netminder has a 2-2-0 record, a 2.82 GAA and an .891 save percentage across five appearances. The veteran netminder has appeared to have won the favor of head coach Rick Bowness with Jet Greaves struggling to begin the season. Talbot is a strong streaming option in fantasy for Tuesday's clash against the Flyers, who are currently last in the NHL with 1.85 goals per game this season.

Stevenson will patrol the home crease against Florida on Tuesday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Stevenson has lost his last two outings, allowing seven goals on 53 shots. He has a 1-2-0 record, a 3.09 GAA and an .893 save percentage in three appearances this season. Florida (6-4-2) ranks 22nd in the league in the 2026-27 campaign with 2.83 goals per game.

Swayman will guard the road crease in Tuesday's clash against the Hurricanes, per Adam Pellerin of NESN.

Swayman will look to bring his momentum into Tuesday's clash against the reigning champs. He's been excellent to start the season with a 7-1-1 record, a 2.20 GAA and a .920 save percentage across nine outings this season. He hasn't lost in regulation in his last six appearances, posting a 5-0-1 record, a 2.15 GAA and a .923 saver percentage in that span. Despite Tuesday's tough matchup against the Hurricanes, who are coming off a 4-0 win against the Blues, Swayman is a must-start in all fantasy formats given his early success this season.

Jones was assigned to AHL Calgary on Tuesday.

Jones played in two games with the Flames during his recall from the minors, but he was a healthy scratch in Monday's 5-2 win over Toronto. With Mikael Backlund back from an upper-body injury, Jones will return to the minors. The 27-year-old Jones has notched seven goals and two assists in seven AHL appearances this season.

DeSmith will guard the home goal in Tuesday's clash against New Jersey, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

DeSmith will see his first reps in net since Oct. 14, where he held on for a 3-2 win over Colorado. The 35-year-old backstop currently has a 1-1-0 record, a 1.95 GAA and a .925 save percentage across two outings this season. While he remains firmly behind Jake Oettinger on the depth chart, he remains one of the league's best backups, making him a strong streaming option in most fantasy formats for Tuesday's matchup against New Jersey.

Jankowski (lower body) will be available to play in Tuesday's home clash against the Bruins, per Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal.

Jankowski has been sidelined for Carolina's last four games with a lower-body injury, but he's expected to be an option for Tuesday's clash. After initially skating as the 13th forward in practice, Taylor Hall was seen leaving the ice after five minutes, so Jankowski stepped into his role on the second power-play unit. It remains to be seen whether Jankowski will play Tuesday, so his status, along with Hall's availability, will be monitored leading into Tuesday's warmups. When healthy, Jankowski has been effective with six goals across nine outings this season.

Soderblom (upper body) was deemed day-to-day on Tuesday.

Soderblom is set to miss Tuesday's practice after popping up on Tuesday's injury report. The 25-year-old winger had seen heightened playing time as of late with Egor Chinakhov (lower body) and Evgeni Malkin (illness) sidelined. Soderblom was solid in those opportunities, posting an assist, five shots on net, a plus-1 rating, 14 hits and four blocked shots across six appearances. His status will be monitored ahead of the Penguins' next contest, which is Thursday's clash against the Mammoth.

Vladar will patrol the home crease in Tuesday's clash against the Blue Jackets, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Given the Flyers' recent alternation of opportunities between the pipes, Vladar was expected to get the start nod for Tuesday after Joseph Woll played Saturday. Vladar has started to turn his season around, as he's won each of his last two outings while allowing just one goal in each appearances. Overall, the 29-year-old backstop has a 2-3-1 record, a 3.15 GAA and a .900 save percentage across six appearances. He'll look to keep his momentum rolling into Tuesday's contest against the Blue Jackets, who rank 30th in the NHL with 2.33 goals per game. Vladar is a solid No. 2 goalie option in standard fantasy formats Tuesday.

Ristolainen (hand) was placed on injured reserve, retroactive to Oct. 24, on Tuesday.

Ristolainen's placement on injured reserve was expected after head coach Rick Tocchet announced that the 32-year-old blueliner would miss roughly two weeks. Ristolainen had already missed nine games due to the same hand issue earlier in the season, but the injury flared back up in Saturday's clash against the Ducks. When healthy, he's been solid with a goal, five shots on net, seven hits and seven blocked shots across four appearances this season. In his absence, Cam York has been activated off injured reserve and should take on some of the minutes vacated by Ristolainen.

York (upper body) was activated off injured reserve Tuesday, indicating that he's available to play in Tuesday's clash against the Blue Jackets.

York has missed each of the Flyers' last eight games with an upper-body injury. In a corresponding move to his activation, Rasmus Ristolainenen (hand) was shifted to injured reserve. The 25-year-old York has posted a minus-6 rating, six shots on net, five hits and 10 blocked shots across five appearances in the current season. Because he was activated prior to Tuesday's game, there is a solid chance that he will suit up, but it's not a guarantee. As long as he appears in a defensive pairing at Tuesday's morning skate, York should be back in the lineup, where he holds a decent all-around ceiling in deep fantasy leagues.
