Zub has played every game for the Senators since January 11th and has been quietly productive from the blueline in that span, scoring seven points (0G / 7A) in his last 11 games, but he will be unavailable on Tuesday. He has spent most of his time lately on the top defensive pair alongside Thomas Chabot.
Boston's successful goaltending carousel will continue on Tuesday as Linus Ullmark takes on the Tampa Bay Lightning after backing up last game. The 30-year-old Vezina Trophy winner has been solid yet again this season, with a strong 16-6-2 record, 2.67 GAA and .916 SV%. He takes on the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday, who snapped a two-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over Columbus last game and are sixth in the NHL in goals per game (3.42).

Tomasino has been reassigned to the Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL as Egor Afanasyev and Mark Jankowski were recalled in adjacent moves. Before scoring three points (2G / 1A) in his last three games, Tomasino was limited to only three points (1G / 2A) in his previous 12 and has failed to translate his pedigree from being Nashville's first-round pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft to the NHL level this season.
Ersson had the night off on Saturday after starting six straight but will return to the crease on Monday night. The 24-year-old netminder has showcased a mixed bag this season but has played well lately, allowing only two combined goals in his last two games (2-0-0), posting a stellar .960 SV%. Ersson has quality starts in a respectable 64% of games and has a favourable matchup on Monday when his Flyers look to extend their three-game winning streak as -145 home favourites against an Arizona Coyotes club riding a five-game losing streak (0-4-1).
Ullmark will return to the crease for the first time post-All-Star break in a showdown between the Eastern and Western Conference leaders. The Bruins are coming off a 4-1 loss to the Calgary Flames on Tuesday but are -132 home favourites against a Vancouver Canucks squad with points in 12 straight (10-0-2). Ullmark last played on January 27th, saving 35 of 37 shots (.946 SV%) in a 6-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers.
Sanderson left the Senators' previous contest vs. Detroit on January 31st after just 4:49 TOI due to a lower-body injury and will be out Saturday as Ottawa plays Toronto. The 21-year-old sophomore has taken a step forward across all aspects of his game in his second season and has seven goals, 24 points, 99 SOG, 19 PIMs and a +5 plus/minus in 47 games prior to his injury.

Erson was tremendous in the Flyers' first game back from the All-Star break and will return to the crease on Thursday. On Tuesday, Ersson saved 20 of 21 shots (.952 SV%) in an impressive 2-1 victory over the Florida Panthers, snapping a five-game losing streak for Ersson and the Flyers. That said, the Flyers are +120 home underdogs against a Winnipeg Jets team outscored 12-3 over their past four games (0-3-1).
Ersson will get the nod for the fifth consecutive game on Tuesday when the Flyers travel to Sunrise. The 24-year-old netminder has struggled of late, going winless in his last five appearances and posting an .826 SV% over that span. On the bright side, those struggles came on the heels of what had been the most successful stretch of Ersson's young career, as he posted an 11-2-2 record and a .931 SV% across his previous 15 games. The Flyers will need him to regain some of that form in Florida on Tuesday where they find themselves as +170 underdogs.
Cousins was the recipient of a controversial hit from Arizona's Jason Zucker, which led to a three-game suspension. Cousins has been out of the lineup since, missing 12 games due to a concussion.

Bolduc will sit out Monday's game against the Maple Leafs as both Ryan Pulock and Adam Pelech make their return to the Islanders' lineup. Bolduc has one goal and two assists in 33 games this season.
Sanderson suffered the injury towards the end of the first period of Wednesday's game and did not return. We should expect to receive an update on the injury and a possible timeline for his return following the conclusion of Wednesday's game.
Pettersson was a third-round pick (No.72 overall) in 2022 and comes to North America after 30 combined games between Rögle BK and Rögle BK Jr.
Tomasino will return to the lineup on Monday after being a healthy scratch in each of the Predators' previous two games. Kiefer Sherwood will sit in his place. Tomasino has five goals and 12 assists in 38 games this season.

The 30-year-old scrappy centre has struggled to produce offensively in 2023-24 with only two goals, three assists, 20 PIMs, 63 SOG and a -10 plus/minus in 37 games. With Cousins cleared from concussion protocol after missing 10 games, his return to the lineup is now just a matter of conditioning.
