Pittsburgh Penguins center Connor Dewar (undisclosed) will be available for Tuesday's tilt against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 26-year-old left Monday's practice early but is set to remain on the fourth line against Carolina. On Sunday, Dewar ended a seven-game scoreless spell with an assist in a 7-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks. During the season, he has contributed six goals and six assists in 37 outings, while averaging nearly two hits per game. His 69 hits rank second on the team behind Parker Wotherspoon. The Penguins average the fewest hits in the league, so having Dewar available against a tough divisional rival will be important. However, Dewar does not hold any fantasy value.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Dakota Joshua (kidney) won't play on Tuesday night against the New Jersey Devils. He faces a multi-game absence after suffering a kidney injury on Sunday against the Detroit Red Wings. Joshua remains in Detroit and is under observation. "Whether he took a hit or went into the boards, it's his kidney ... so we got to see where he's at, too," Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said Tuesday. The team placed Joshua on Injured Reserve ahead of Tuesday's game, meaning he will sit out at least three games. Toronto is dealing with several injury issues in the attacking department, which may give players like Bobby McMann, Nicholas Robertson, and Mattias Maccelli a chance to play larger roles.

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Erik Karlsson (illness) will play Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. It was unclear if Karlsson would be available after he missed Monday's practice due to illness. The former Norris Trophy winner has scored only one point in his past five appearances. Still, it has been a fine campaign for Karlsson, who has totaled 26 points (three goals, 23 assists) in 37 appearances. Karlsson leads the Penguins in average ice time with 23:55, and nothing suggests he will have a reduced workload Tuesday night.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (lower body) will miss a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. He remains day-to-day after suffering a lower-body injury in Saturday's win over the Ottawa Senators. Auston Matthews (lower body) is a game-time call and could join Nylander on the sidelines Tuesday night. If that's the case, players like Nicholas Robertson, Scott Laughton, and Bobby McMann will have additional fantasy value. Nylander's next chance to play will come on Thursday night against the Winnipeg Jets.
