Kaut may come to North America for the 2019 season, but spent last year playing in the top Czech league as an 18-year-old. Playing with men, Kaut is low on the depth chart but he still picked up nine goals and seven assists (16 points) in 38 games. While getting a top-line opportunity at the World Juniors, Kaut recorded seven points (2G / 5A) in seven games. Kaut is a reliable 200-foot player who can score and set up his linemates. Kaut has drawn some comparisons to fellow Czech winger Jakub Voracek.

In his second season with the Flint Firebirds, assistant captain Ty Dellandrea scored 27 goals with 32 assists (59 points) in 67 games. Dellandrea is the type of player you want on your team. He possesses decent size (6-foot, 183 lbs.) and works his tail off on every shift. What sets him apart from other two-way centres, is his offensive game. Despite playing on the worst team in the OHL’s Western Conference, Dellandrea was able to raise his draft stock by leading the team in goals and finishing second in points.

Trouba was given some rest the other night but will draw back in tonight vs. the Flames. Trouba has two assists in his last two games since returning from a five-game absence and has totalled 24 points (3G / 21A) in 54 games this season.

Svechnikov picked up two goals and two assists (four points) in 14 games during his call-up. The Red Wings season is virtually over, but the Griffins’ isn’t so Detroit will return some reinforcements. The 21-year-old has collected seven goals and 15 assists (22 points) in 52 games with Grand Rapids this season.

Trouba has missed the last five games but will be back in tonight in Toronto. Trouba has had a hard time with injuries this season, but has collected three goals and 19 assists (22 points) in 52 games.

Price allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Canadiens win over the Red Wings on Monday. It was Price’s first win since February 4th and 16th of the season. He stopped 31 of 32 shots in a 2-1 OT win in his first and only start against the Devils this season.

Price gave up six goals on 30 shots in the Candadiens loss to the Capitals on Saturday. Price has struggled mightily since returning to the crease last Wednesday, allowing a combined 11 goals on 69 shots (.841 SV%) in two starts. Despite his struggles, he remains a strong option tonight with the Red Wings in town.

Price gave up five goals on 39 shots in the Canadiens loss in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. It was a rough return to the crease for Price, who has had the toughest year of his career in 2018. His first start against Washington was a disaster as he was pulled after allowing four goals on 14 shots in the first period of a 6-1 loss.

Comrie has gone 17-11-3 with a 2.56 GAA and .918 SV% in 31 games with Manitoba (AHL) this season. Comrie started one NHL game this season. He allowed five goals on 35 shots in a 6-4 loss in Florida back in early-December. Comrie is a risky start at this point in the season--especially against a Kings team that is tied for third in the NHL in road wins (21).

Trouba is being re-evaluated for a concussion and is not going to be in the Jets lineup vs. the Kings on Tuesday. This is a terrible break for the Jets and Trouba owners, who just recently got the start defeseman back in the lineup last week. Joe Morrow will replace Trouba in the lineup tonight.
