Price allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Canadiens win in Washington last Friday. Keith Kinkaid started Saturday, so Price gets the nod Tuesday in Columbus. Price has won three in a row while stopping 90 of the 96 shots (.938 SV%) that he's faced. One of those wins came against the Blue Jackets, who he'll face again tonight--he stopped 33 of 35 shots in a 3-2 shootout win over Columbus last Tuesday.
Byron suffered a knee injury in Washington on Friday and it will require surgery on Tuesday. Bryon will miss several weeks and will likely be moved to IR so Montreal can call-up reinforcements from Laval (AHL). Someone like Ryan Poehling is a logical replacement for Byron.
Byron will come out of the lineup due to a lower-body injury that he suffered last night in Washington. With Byron out, Jesperi Kotkaniemi will be making his return to the lineup.
Price allowed two goals on 35 shots in the Canadiens win over the Blue Jackets on Tuesday. Price has won three of his last four starts (3-0-1) with a 2.70 GAA and .919 SV%.

Price stopped 31 of 33 shots in Montreal's win over the Kings on Saturday. Price has won three of his last five starts (3-1-1) while posting a 2.62 GAA and .924 SV%. On Tuesday he faces a Blue Jackets team that has lost six of their last seven (1-5-1) while scoring just 2.00 goals per game.

Dach played in 10 straight games, registering three points (1G / 2A) and 10 shots while playing 11:06 ATOI. Head coach Jeremy Colliton told reporters that "scratching [Dach] was part of the development plan." He will be replaced by Dominik Kubalik.
Matheon has missed the last five games but with Corey Stillman heading back to the AHL on Tuesday, it paved the way for Matheson's return vs. The Capitals. He has had a slow offensive start to the season, pointing a single assist in nine games.
Price gave up three goals on 39 shots I the Canadiens loss in Dallas on Saturday. The loss snapped a brief two-game winning streak for Price, who comes into Tuesday's game at 3-3-0 with a 2.55 GAA, .903 SV% and one shutout on home-ice. He was 2-2-0 with a 2.28 GAA, .938 SV% and one shutout vs. the Bruins last year but they are a ridiculous 11-1-2 and average 3.71 goals per game (3rd) this year, so beware.
Price allowed one goal on 33 shots in the Canadiens win in Arizona on Wednesday. Keith Kinkaid got the nod on Thursday, so Price will likely start Saturday night in Dallas. Price has won four of his last five while posting an impressive 1.82 GAA, .935 SV% and one shutout. Price is playing very well but the Stars come in having won five of their last six, so they're hot as well.

Blais missed Sunday's game in Detroit but is set to play tonight vs. the Wild. Blais will get a huge opportunity tonight as he lines up on the first line with Brayden Schenn and Jaden Schwartz, replacing Vladimir Tarasenko. Blais has three goals and two assists (five points) in 10 games this season. The 23-year-old provides even more value in banger leagues, averaging 2.6 hits per game.
Laine suffered a lower-body injury in practice on Monday and will come out of the lineup on Tuesday. Oddly enough, Luca Sbisa, who he got tangled up with, will take his spot in the lineup as a No.7 defenseman.
