Goalie Start
Bernier is expected to start Tuesday vs. the Blue Jackets.
Goalie Start
Allen will make his Canadiens debut Monday in Edmonton.
Allen served as Carey Price’s backup in the first two games of the season but will make his Canadiens debut Monday in Edmonton. There are easier matchups than facing Connor McDavid in your debut but he is 5-2-0 vs. Edmonton in the last three seasons. The 30-year-old is coming off of a 12-6-3, 2.15 GAA and .927 SV% in 2020, so he is one of the most reliable backup options in the NHL.
Line Change
Glass will be a scratch Monday vs. the Coyotes.
Goalie Start
Allen is in the starter's crease at the Canadiens morning skate.
Noesen is expected to be a healthy scratch on Monday.
Goalie Start
Markstrom will start Monday vs. the Canucks.
Markstrom stopped all 32 shots that he faced in the Flames’ shutout win over the Canucks on Saturday. It was Markstrom’s first win with the Flames and an impressive showing vs. his former team. He will get another chance tonight but the Canucks should be a little more dangerous with J.T. Miller returning from the COVID-19 reserve list.
Sprong will draw into the Capitals lineup on Sunday.
MacDermid (COVID-19) has been cleared to play and is on the ice for warmups.
Goalie Start
Bernier led the Red Wings onto the ice for warmups.
Noesen will be in the Sharks lineup on Saturday.
Noesen was a healthy scratch in the season opener but will replace Joel Kellman in the lineup on Saturday afternoon. Noesen, who had eight points (6G / 2A) in 34 games for the Sharks a season ago, will skate on the fourth line with Patrick Marleau and Marcus Sorenson.
Goalie Start
Markstrom will start Saturday vs. the Canucks.
Goalie Start
Bernier was the first goalie off of the ice at the Red Wings morning skate.
Thomas Greiss started opening night but all signs are pointing towards Bernier getting the nod in the rematch vs. the Hurricanes. Playing on a historically bad team, Bernier actually had a fairly solid season in 2020, going 15-22-3 with a 2.95 GAA and .907 SV%. Bernier finished the season really strong and while that was 10 months ago, it provides some hope that he and Greiss will be a reliable duo for a rebuilding Red Wings squad.
Goalie Start
Markstrom will start the Flames season opener in Winnipeg.
Markstrom had one of the best years of his career in a contract year, earning a six-year deal in Calgary. He went 23-16-4 with a 2.75 GAA and .918 SV% in 43 games last year and is expected to be a workhorse for the Flames this season. In his debut, he'll face a Jets team that was 17th in GoalsFor (3.00) and 15th in PP% (20.5) in 2020.
The Devils have signed Jesper Bratt to a two-year contract worth $5.5 million ($2.75M AAV).
Bratt was the Devils' last remaining unsigned RFA but got a two-year deal on Sunday night. Bratt set a new career-high in goals (16) while adding 16 assists (32 points) in 60 games a season ago. Bratt will miss the start of the regular season but is expected to be in the Devils top-6 when he makes his debut.
Hischier (leg) will not be ready for the start of training camp.
Hischier suffered a leg injury while training in Switzerland and will not be available for the opening of training camp. Hischier did not have surgery and the Devils do not consider it a long-term injury. The fourth-year centre could be ready for the start of the season but may get out of the gates slowly with a limited training camp.
The Predators have signed Erik Haula to a one-year deal worth $1.75 million.
The Devils signed Colton White to a one-year, two-way contract ($700K/$90K).
The Capitals have re-signed Jonas Siegenthaler to a one-year, $800K contract extension.
The Canadiens have signed Jake Allen to a two-year contract extension worth $5.75 million ($2.875M AAV).
