Blais suffered the injury during the Blues' 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday. Blais will be re-evaluated in 10 weeks, which means he could miss more than two and a half months. To replace Blais, the Blues announced that they've signed veteran Troy Brouwer to a one-year deal.

Ullmark stopped 21 of 23 shots in the Sabres win over the Senators on Saturday. The win moved Ullmark to 2-1-0 with a. 2.29 GAA and .930 SV% on home-ice. With Carter Hutton struggling, Ullmark is starting to carve out a larger role in the Sabres' crease. He draws a nice matchup on Tuesday with Minnesota going 3-10-0 while scoring just 2.15 goals per game on the road.

Ullmark gave up three goals on 34 shots in the Sabres loss to the Lighting in the first game in Sweden. He hasn't played a lot this year but has had some strong outings, going 3-3-1 with a .915 SV% overall. A home start against a Senators team that played last night makes Ullmark an intriguing spot-start option.

Ullmark gave up six goals on 34 shots in the Sabres loss in Washington last Friday. It was an ugly outing for Ullmark, who will start in his native country on Friday afternoon. He has allowed at least three goals in four of his six starts and has a tough assignment vs. the Lightning, who are averaging 3.31 goals per game (10th in the NHL) through their first 13 games.

Amadio served as a healthy scratch for the last two games but will return to the lineup on Saturday. Amadio comes in with four points (2G / 2A) in 11 games this season.

Ullmark stopped all 41 shots that he faced in the Sabres shutout win in Detroit last Friday. He will start the front-end of the Sabres back-to-back, which leaves Carter Hutton to face the Islanders on Saturday. Ullmark has won three of his last four starts while posting a 2.21 GAA, .938 SV% and one shutout. He’ll be in tough against a Capitals team that is third in goal scoring (3.79 GF/gm).

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.

Ullmark allowed three goals on 32 shots in the Sabres win in San Jose on Saturday. The Sabres broke their goalie rotation on Thursday but that leaves Ullmark to start the tail-end of a back-to-back in Detroit. The 26-year-old is 2-1-1 with a 3.18 GAA and .913 SV% in his first four starts of the year and has had a lot of success vs. Detroit in his career—3-0-2 with a 2.50 GAA and .924 SV%.

Blais is considered day-to-day with a thumb injury, so Zach Sanford will replace him in the lineup on Thursday. Blais could be back for the Blues' back-to-back on Saturday/Sunday.

Tomasino was selected in the first-round (No.24 overall) in this summer's draft. The 18-year-old centre has had a tremendous start to the 2019-20 season, leading the Niagara IceDogs with 23 points (9G / 14A) in 12 games.

Cousins had 27 points (7G / 20A) in 81 games with the Coyotes last year and signed a one-year, $1.0M AAV deal with the Canadiens this summer. Cousins will make his Montreal debut on the fourth line with Nate Thompson and Nick Suzuki.
