Ersson will start Tuesday in St. Louis.

Ersson allowed three goals on 30 shots (.900 SV%) for his second-straight loss as he was defeated by the Pittsburgh Penguins in his previous start. The 23-year-old has been decent in his small showing so far this season, with his 6-2-0 record, .899 SV% and 3.07 GAA. He will take on the St. Louis Blues, who have lost their last two games and are 15th in the NHL in goals per game (3.22).

Richard has been sent back to Laval (AHL) due to his emergency recall ending.

Richard has three goals, two assists, 13 SOG, six PIMs and a +2 plus/minus through 13 games this season and will be a healthy scratch Tuesday as he has been reassigned to Laval (AHL). Richard was with the Canadiens on an emergency basis so it seems the team no longer has an emergency for his services at this time.
