First off TuesdaySaros was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports, indicating he will guard the road goal Tuesday against Chicago.
Advice: Saros is coming off a 34-save performance in Sunday's 2-1 win over Buffalo. He has registered a mark of 9-10-0 this season with a 3.05 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 19 previous starts. Chicago ranks 30th in the league this campaign with 2.43 goals per game.

Begins skating TuesdayHeinola (ankle) was on the ice without gear Tuesday but remains a ways away from returning, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
Advice: Heinola was given a 2-3 month recovery timeline and is still on track to meet that target according to coach Rick Bowness. Considering the 22-year-old defender has a combined 35 NHL games over the last four seasons, he probably will be headed to the minors once given the all-clear and figures to remain a fringe roster player.

Getting closerLizotte (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday versus Columbus, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Advice: Lizotte will miss his sixth straight contest, but he inching his way toward a potential return. The Kings will see how he feels after Wednesday's practice before determining if he can play Thursday against the Canadiens. Lizotte has generated seven points, 20 shots on goal and 12 hits over 16 appearances this season. Rotowire.comBlake Lizotte LA - C -
Collects power-play helperMarchessault logged a power-play assist, four shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Blues.
Advice: Marchessault helped out on Jack Eichel's equalizer in the third period. After closing November on a four-game slump, Marchessault has three points, including two on the power play, in the first two games of December. The 32-year-old winger is up to 17 points (six on the power play), 81 shots on net, 24 hits, 16 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 26 outings. While he's no longer on the top line, Marchessault can chip in enough scoring and grit to help in most fantasy formats. Rotowire.comJonathan Marchessault VGK - RW -

Advice: Soderblom is coming off a 25-save effort in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Winnipeg. In 11 games this season, he has earned a 2-8-0 record with a 3.71 GAA and an .883 save percentage. The Predators sit 16th in the league this campaign with 3.17 goals per contest. Rotowire.comArvid Soderblom CHI - G
