Clifton was in the lineup for the last three games but will take a seat with John Moore (shoulder) set to make his season debut.

Gaunce appeared in one game during his call-up and picked up one assist in 9:10 TOI. He returns to the AHL to make room for John Moore to come back from his conditioning stint.

DiPietro has gone 7-4-1 with a 2.44 GAA and .913 SV% in his first 13 AHL starts this year. The 20-year-old, former third-round pick has received his first call-up of the season because Jacob Markstrom has been granted a leave of absence to go to Sweden for his father's memorial service. DiPietro likely won't play a game but should serve as Thatcher Demko's backup on Tuesday.

Gaunce had one assist in 9:10 TOI in his Bruins debut on Wednesday but will be replaced by Jack Studnicka in the lineup on Friday.

Gaunce was called up last week but did not make his Bruins debut. In 14 AHL games, the 25-year-old has collected six goals and five assists (11 points). He could make his debut on their two-game road-trip with both Patrice Bergeron and Brett Ritchie both out.

Gaunce has spent the entire season with Providence, where he has recorded four goals and three assists (seven points) in 11 games. He spent the first five years of his career with the Canucks, where he had 15 points (6G / 9A) in 117 career NHL games.

Zadorov ended up only missing three games with a fractured jaw that he suffered just over a week ago. Zadorov will likely replace Kevin Connauton on Colorado's third pair.

Zadorov took a puck off of the face on Thursday and broke his jaw. The towering defenseman has undergone surgery and will miss at least a couple of weeks, so expect Mark Barberio to draw into the lineup on Saturday.

Zadorov is believed to have suffered a broken jaw after being hit by a puck in Thursday's win. Mark Barberio is expected to draw in for him on Saturday and a seventh defenseman will likely be recalled from the AHL at some point.

Clifton has played in six straight games but head coach Bruce Cassidy will scratch him for Steven Kampfer on Saturday. Clifton has no points in 11 games this season.

Lindholm has missed the last two games but will play Friday barring a setback this afternoon. Lindholm will likely replace Josh Mahura and skate on the top-pair with Cam Fowler while Josh Manson remains sidelined.

Lindholm will miss his second straight game on Tuesday but the Ducks coaching staff is "encouraged" for his availability later on this homestand. Josh Mahura is expected to replace Brendan Guhle on the Ducks' top-pair, where Lindholm would be.

Lindholm left Thursday’s game after being slashed by Darren Helm but was back on the first line in Saturday’s morning skate. Lindholm has opened the 2019-20 campaign with five goals and one assist in eight games.

Lindholm received a vicious slash from Darren Helm and left Thursday's win but it doesn't sound like the injury is overly serious. Lindholm is not expected to practice on Friday but has not been ruled out for Saturday's game in Los Angeles.
