NHL Starting Goalies for Tuesday, Nov. 3: 11 Games, and Three Teams on the Second Night of a Back-to-Back
Tuesday has 11 NHL games. No starter had been confirmed by a team, the league or a reporter when this was published, so the board lists each team's last starter from the official box score. Detroit, Vegas and Colorado all played on Monday.

When this board was published on Tuesday morning, no team, league source or reporter at the rink had named a starter, so every goalie below is listed by who started his team's most recent game, not as expected or confirmed.

Three teams on the second night of a back-to-back
The Red Wings, Golden Knights and Avalanche all played on Monday, according to NHL.com's Nov. 2 scores. Daniil Tarasov started Detroit's 5-3 win at Florida, Carter Hart started Vegas' shootout loss at Boston and Mackenzie Blackwood started Colorado's 5-2 win at Chicago. Teams often rest a goalie on the second night of a back-to-back, but none of the three has said who will start on Tuesday.
Teams coming off a rest day
Most of Tuesday's other teams last played on Saturday or Sunday. The Devils have the longest break: Connor Hellebuyck's last start was a 5-2 win over the Golden Knights on Oct. 30. Pyotr Kochetkov comes in off a 26-save shutout in Carolina's 7-0 win over Winnipeg on Sunday, while Stuart Skinner allowed five goals on 17 shots in that game for the Jets.
How this board works
Save and shot totals come from each game's official NHL.com box score, linked in the sources below. A goalie is marked expected only when a named source projects him and confirmed only when his team, the league or a reporter at the rink says he starts.
