Sogaard will start Tuesday vs. the Avalanche.

Sogaard will likely make his first start of the season for a Senators club struggling immensely and is without goaltender Anton Forsberg. Sogaard has had a stellar campaign with the Belleville Senators of the AHL, posting a 2.48 GAA and .920 SV% in 16 games (8-5-2). The 23-year-old Sogaard spent a sizeable portion of the 2022-23 season in Ottawa but struggled to make an impact, posting a 3.32 GAA and .889 SV% in 19 appearances (8-6-3). The Senators, losers of 12 of their last 16 (4-12-0), are +104 home underdogs against a high-scoring Colorado Avalanche club that was defeated 4-3 by the Montreal Canadiens last night.

Reimer will start Sunday in Toronto.

Reimer gave up six goals on 31 shots in the Red Wings 6-3 loss in Minnesota on December 27th. Tonight he will give Alex Lyon a night off, after Lyon started seven straight games. After a strong start to the season, Reimer has been a disaster in his last 10 appearances, going 1-6-2 with an .875 SV%. He draws a tough assignment on Sunday, as he faces his former team in Toronto, as +178 underdogs.

Ullmark (lower body) left Tuesday's contest late and is being evaluated on Wednesday.

Ullmark was unable to finish Tuesday's game against the Arizona Coyotes, allowing three goals on 35 shots (.914 SV%) before leaving in overtime with a lower-body injury in an eventual 4-3 loss. Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman have almost exclusively split starting time this season, but if Ullmark is out of the lineup for any time, Swayman will take the reigns between the pipes.

Ullmark will start in Arizona on Tuesday.

Ullmark will be back between the pipes for the Bruins on Tuesday after Jeremy Swayman got the nod in last night's shootout loss to the Avalanche. Ullmark picked up his third consecutive win in his last time out, allowing three goals on 26 shots as the Bruins defeated the Lightning by a score of 7-3. He owns an impressive 13-5-2 record on the season along with a .915 SV% and a 2.74 GAA. The Bruins find themselves as -165 favourites in Arizona on Tuesday despite being on the tail-end of a back-to-back..

Spence will draw back into the Kings' lineup Tuesday in Florida.

Spence will re-enter the lineup for the Kings as Brandt Clarke will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday. Before coming out of the lineup on Sunday, Spencer played nearly every game for the Kings over the last three months, scoring 12 points (0G / 12A) while averaging 15:11 time-on-ice through 34 games.

Jordan Spence
Cousins (concussion) has been placed on the Injured Reserve.

Cousins was the recipient of a controversial hit from Arizona's Jason Zucker which led to a three-game suspension. 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 played.
