Ullmark (lower body) will not play in Tuesday's home clash against the Capitals, per Graeme Nichols of the Coming In Hot Podcast .

Head coach Travis Green stated that the Sens' staff considered starting Ullmark on Tuesday, but are ultimately opting to give him a couple extra days of rest. Therefore, the veteran netminder will stay in street clothes Tuesday while 21-year-old Jackson Parsons, who has called up from AHL Belleville for the first time in his career, will serve as Samuel Ersson's backup against the Capitals. When healthy, the 33-year-old Ullmark has been excellent, as he posted a 7-1-0 record, a 1.33 GAA and a .945 save percentage prior to landing on injured reserve. His next chance to make his return is Thursday's home clash against the Avalanche.

Fowler will guard the home net in Tuesday's clash against the Wild, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.

Fowler bounced back nicely in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs, where he made 26 saves. Overall, the 21-year-old backstop has been making a case for the Calder Trophy, as he's compiled an 8-1-1 record, a 2.15 GAA and a .925 save percentage across 10 outings this season. He's made the most of his opportunity since being called up from AHL Laval at the start of the season. He's a strong No. 2 goalie option in all fantasy formats moving forward, including Tuesday's matchup against the Maple Leafs.

Talbot will patrol the home crease in Tuesday's clash against the Panthers, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.

Talbot will look to keep the ball rolling Tuesday, as he's currently riding a four-game win streak after defeating the Stars in Thursday's 2-1 win. Overall, the 39-year-old backstop has a 5-2-0 record, a 2.44 GAA and a .911 save percentage over eight appearances this season. With Jet Greaves' struggles persisting, Talbot appears poised to keep serving as the team's top option between the pipes for the time being. He's a solid No. 2 goalie option in fantasy against the Panthers on Tuesday.

Evans (hand) is expected to be a game-time decision for Tuesday's home clash against the Wild, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.

Evans sustained his hand injury during Monday's practice. If the 30-year-old winger can't go, the Canadiens announced that Florian Xhekaj will dress for warm-ups and take Evans' place in the lineup. Prior to suffering the hand injury, Evans posted two goals, six points, a plus-4 rating, 13 shots on net, 14 hits and 10 blocked shots across 17 games this season.

Morrissey (wrist) will play in Tuesday's home clash against New Jersey, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

The wait for Morrissey's long-awaited return is over, as he's slated to play in Tuesday's contest after missing Winnipeg's last 14 games. The 31-year-old blueliner is bound to immediately return to the team's top defensive pairing and first power-play unit. Prior to sustaining his wrist injury, he posted three assists, 12 shots on net and five blocked shots over four appearances. He's a priority waiver-wire target in leagues where he was dropped.

McDavid scored his 11th goal of the season in Monday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

He was handed the game's opening goal on a silver platter, as Dylan Garand mishandled the puck behind his own net, and the goalie's pass attempt instead glanced off the side of the cage and went directly to McDavid as he came out of the corner. The point extended McDavid's season-opening point streak to 19 games, making him just the fourth player in NHL history to begin a campaign with a streak that long -- a club that includes Hall of Famers Wayne Gretzky and Mats Sundin, as well as Dany Heatley. McDavid did see his NHL record 18-game assist streak to begin a season come to an end, however. He leads the league with 48 points, putting him on pace to become just the second player in history with a 200-point season, after Gretzky did it four times in the 1980s.

Anderson (personal) will suit up for Tuesday's home clash against the Wild, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.

Anderson was absent from Saturday's lineup due to personal reasons, but he's ready to return Tuesday. The 32-year-old winger has been off to a strong start, posting seven goals, 10 points, 33 shots on net, a plus-8 rating, 34 hits and six blocked shots over 16 appearances this season. Given his successful beginning to the season offensively, he's a decent streaming option in deep fantasy leagues that value banger stats.

Bobrovsky will get the starting nod at home versus Colorado on Tuesday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

Bobrovsky will look to end his four-game losing streak during which he posted a 3.84 GAA and .867 save percentage. On the year, the 38-year-old netminder is a disappointing 3-7-2 in 12 outings and is sporting a career-worst 3.34 GAA. At some point, the Leafs may have to consider giving Anthony Stolarz more opportunities if Bobrovsky can't find his game.

Draisaitl scored two goals, one the game-winner and the other a shorthanded tally into an empty net, in Monday's 3-1 victory over the Rangers.

The 31-year-old superstar gave the Oilers a 2-0 lead early in the second period, snapping a shot past Dylan Garand through traffic, and Draisaitl then iced the win by flipping a shot into the open cage from his own zone. It's already his sixth multi-goal performance of the season, and his 18 tallies leads the NHL, just ahead of Kirill Kaprizov's 16. Draisaitl's 36 points in 19 games is second only to teammate Connor McDavid's incredible 48 points.

Daws will defend the home crease in Tuesday's clash against New Jersey, per Daniel Amoia.

Daws will face off against his former squad for the first time since being dealt to Winnipeg in the Connor Hellebuyck trade. The 25-year-old Daws lost his lone start in Winnipeg, but he has a .913 save percentage across his two appearances. Given his added motivation behind Tuesday's start, he's a decent fantasy option in deep leagues for fantasy managers in a bind at the goaltending position. However, he's more of a spot start in fantasy due to his positioning as the No. 3 option for the Jets behind Stuart Skinner and Clay Stevenson.
