Koepka played his ninth game of the season with Tampa Bay last week, tallying two shots and one hit in 5:59 ice time. The sixth-round pick of the Lightning in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft has spent most of his season with the Syracuse Crunch (AHL), scoring 24 points (13G / 11A) in 36 games.
Ryan Reaves will take the place of Gregor as the Leafs opt to get fresh legs in their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Gregor has five goals and six assists in 53 games this season.
Daws will get an immediate shot at redemption after his shot streak came to a sudden end in Washington on Tuesday. Daws allowed six goals on just 26 shots in the 6-2 defeat, ending a run of four straight starts where the the 23-year-old netminder posted a .931 SV% or better. Daws owns a 6-7-0 record in 13 starts on the season to go along with a .903 SV% and a 3.18 GAA. He draws a difficult assignment on Thursday at home against the Rangers, though New York could be without Artemi Panarin (lower-body).
Ryan Reaves will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday, allowing Gregor to re-enter the Maple Leafs lineup. Before being a healthy scratch on Monday, Gregor played 12 straight for the Maple Leafs, tallying four assists and 48 hits.
Skinner will return to the crease for the Oilers on Wednesday, his fifth start in their last six games. Skinner has recorded a sub-.900 SV% while allowing three or more goals in each of his last four games. That said, he saved 22 of 25 shots (.880 SV%) in a 6-3 win over the Arizona Coyotes on Monday. The Oilers enter action as -127 home favourites against a Boston Bruins club that defeated the Dallas Stars 4-3 in their last contest.

Akira Schmid has been sent down the Utica (AHL), resulting in Poulter being recalled. It is unlikely that Poulter will see any action while he is with the Devils as Nico Daws has controlled the crease lately. Poulter is an undrafted 22-year-old who has enjoyed a decent season with Utica, recording a 2.70 GAA and .908 SV% in 24 games (14-7-1).
Louis Crevier will be out of the lineup on Wednesday due to an upper-body injury, allowing Phillips to draw back in. Phillips has been out of the lineup for the last three games and had one point (0G / 1A), a -3 plus/minus, and 10 hits in five games before that.
Kupari will skate alongside Alex Iafallo and Vladislav Namestnikov on the Jets' fourth line. Kupari has no goals and one assist in 21 games this season.
It's unclear at this point whether this is just a healthy scratch or if Barron is dealing with an undisclosed injury. Barron has nine goals and four assists in 53 games this season.
The Devils will turn to Daws for the fifth-consecutive game when the team travels to Washington to take on the Capitals on Tuesday night. Daws has been outstanding since filling in for the injured Vitek Vanecek (lower-body), compiling a 3-1-0 record across his last four starts, posting a .942 SV% in the process. He turned in a fantastic performance in the outdoor game against the Flyers on Saturday, stopping 45 of the 48 shots he faced enroute to a 6-3 victory. Daws and the Devils look poised to stay in the win column on Tuesday as they find themselves as -165 favourites over the Capitals.
Thrun has not played since January 23rd due to a shoulder injury, missing the last six games. The 22-year-old Thrun has three points (1G / 2A), 28 shots, and 39 blocks in 23 games this season.
