The Avalanche have recalled Alex Newhook from Colorado (AHL).
Newhook earned his way back to the NHL by torching the AHL with 11 points (4G / 7A) in 10 games. Sampo Ranta was sent to the AHL on Monday, so he will take his spot on the roster.

The Canadiens have sent Cole Caufield to Laval (AHL).
Caufield was expected to have a breakout season after scoring four goals with one assist in 10 games last year. He went on to pick up 12 points (4G / 8A) in 20 playoff games but has had a disastrous start to 2021-22. Caufield has just one assist and 22 shots in 10 games, so he'll head to the AHL to find some confidence.
Evans is on the ice for warmups; expected to play Sunday.
Gallagher (undisclosed) is not expected to play Sunday.
Goalie Start
Montembeault will start Sunday in Anaheim.
Line Change
Evans will come out of the Canadiens lineup on Tuesday.
Evans will not play in Seattle but it's unclear if it's injury-related or a coach's decision. Cedric Paquette will replace him in the Canadiens' bottom-6.
Lindstrom (undisclosed) is not expected to play on Wednesday.
Red Wings head coach Jeff Blashill said that Lindstrom will not play on Wednesday but does not believe it will be a long-term thing. Filip Hronek, who has been a healthy scratch for the last two games, will replace him in Washington.
Evans (undisclosed) will return to the Canadiens lineup on Thursday.
Evans missed Tuesday's game with an undisclosed injury that he suffered vs. the Rangers on Saturday. Evans will re-enter the lineup on the fourth line with Artturi Lehkonen and Joel Armia on his wings. Evans has no points, five shots and a minus-1 rating in three games this season.
Evans (undisclosed) is day-to-day and will not play on Tuesday.
Matheson (lower-body) will make his season debut on Tuesday.
Evans (undisclosed) is questionable to play Tuesday vs. San Jose.
Evans was missing from Monday's practice and is questionable to play on Tuesday. Adam Brooks skated in his spot at practice and would likely replace him in the lineup if Evans is unable to play.
The Avalanche have reassigned Alex Newhook to Colorado (AHL).
The Avalanche are likely going to be without Nathan MacKinnon (COVID), Valeri Nichushkin (upper-body) and Gabriel Landeskog (suspension) on Saturday, so sending Newhook to the AHL opens up enough cap space to recall multiple forwards to fill the voids. Stefan Matteau and Dylan Sikura were recalled.
Goalie Start
Montembeault will make his Canadiens debut Thursday in Buffalo.
