Bolduc would have taken part in Monday's AHL All-Star Classic but instead will head back up to the NHL where he previously had a strong initial four-game showing.

Forsberg was perfect, stopping all 28 of 28 shots as he beat Montreal for his second shutout of the season in his last start. The 30-year-old struggled early in the year but has picked it up in his last few starts, leading to his 10-10-2 record, 3.09 GAA and .906 SV%. He takes on Montreal again, whose last game was the 5-0 loss to Ottawa which extended their three-game losing skid and handed them their fourth loss in five games.

Turcotte was a healthy scratch for the Kings' previous game but draws back into the lineup Tuesday as they take on Carolina. The 21-year-old has yet to pick up a point and is a -2 plus/minus through three games played so far with Los Angeles this season.
