The Golden Knights placed Reinhardt on waivers on Thursday and the Florida Panthers claimed him on Friday. The 26-year-old Reinhardt averaged 9:47 time-on-ice and scored seven points (3G / 4A) in 44 games with Vegas this season.
Martin Pospisil will draw back into Calgary's lineup on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators, sending Beecher to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old Beecher is averaging 10:03 time-on-ice and has four points (1G / 3A) in 29 games this season.
Head coach Sheldon Keefe wasn't lying when he said he wanted to give Markstrom a chance to keep his momentum going, as he tasks the 36-year-old with starting both ends of New Jersey's back-to-back. Markstrom was excellent in last night's start against the Panthers, allowing just a single goal on 21 shots enroute to a 5-1 victory. The Devils enter Wednesday's contest as -117 home favourites against a reeling Maple Leafs team that has been outscored 17-7 since returning from the Olympic break (0-3-1).
Adin Hill has been among the league's least reliable goaltenders in recent weeks, and the Golden Knights have surprisingly had to rely on Schmid more than expected as a result. The 25-year-old Schmid has been far from stellar, but has still been far and away better than Hill. Schmid has a 2.60 GAA and .898 SV% in his last nine games (5-3-1). The Golden Knights enter Tuesday's contest as +131 road underdogs against a rolling Buffalo Sabres team that has outscored their opposition 11-5 during a three-game winning streak.
Markstrom has struggled with consistency this season, but is in the midst of his best streak so far. Dating back to before the Olympic break, the 36-year-old goalie has strung together four consecutive quality starts for the first time in 2025-26 (2-2-0), posting an impressive 2.02 GAA and .931 SV%. He saved 25 of 26 shots (.962 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 3-1 win over the St. Louis Blues. That said, the Devils enter Tuesday's action as slight +105 home underdogs against a Florida Panthers team on a two-game losing streak (0-2-0).
Bjornfot has not played since Florida returned to action from the Olympic break, but he will re-enter the lineup on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. The 24-year-old Swedish defenseman is averaging 11:20 time-on-ice and has three points (2G / 1A) in 10 games this season. Jeff Petry will be a healthy scratch to accommodate Bjornfot's return.
Balinskis did not play in Florida's previous game due to a lower-body injury, but he will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. The 29-year-old defenseman is averaging 16:20 time-on-ice and has 14 points (5G / 9A) in 50 games this season. Donovan Sebrango will be a healthy scratch to accommodate Balinskis' return.
Uvis Balinskis (lower body) will draw back into Florida's lineup on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils, resulting in Sebrango being a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old Sebrango is averaging 12:37 time-on-ice and has two assists in 22 games this season.
Adin Hill has been among the league's least reliable goaltenders in recent weeks, and the Golden Knights have surprisingly had to rely on Schmid more than expected as a result.

Schwindt has four points (3G / 1A) in 22 games this season and will be sidelined on Friday due to a lower-body injury. Luke Kunin will draw into the lineup as Schwindt's replacement.
Schmid has been the most consistent netminder for the Golden Knights this season, and he will return to the crease on Friday against the Washington Capitals. Heading into the Olympic break, the 25-year-old Schmid had wins in five of his last eight games (5-2-1), posting a 2.55 GAA and .898 SV%. The Golden Knights enter Friday's contest as slight +104 road underdogs against a Capitals team coming off a 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers.
Markstrom will make his first post-Olympic start on Thursday as Jake Allen got the nod in Wednesday's loss to the Sabres. Markstrom has struggled to maintain any sort of consistent form this season, logging a 15-13-1 record and an .882 SV% across 30 appearances. He and the Devils enter action on Thursday as slight underdogs at +130 on the money line.

The 28-year-old Tkachuk did not make his season debut until mid-January, returning from an injury, and has eight points (3G / 5A) in 10 games this season.
