White was on the ice for Wednesday’s practice but will not be available for Thursday’s game. White will miss his second straight game, which means Chris Tierney will move up into the top-6.

Kurashev was a fourth-round pick (No.120) in 2018 and is in his third year in the QMJHL. The 19-year-old centre will remain in Quebec (QMJHL), where he leads the team in goals (28), assists (34) and points (62).

Price gave up eight goals on 29 shots in the Canadiens blowout loss in Anaheim on Friday. Price is now 5-4-0 with a 2.82 GAA and .903 SV% in his last nine starts. Despite going through a rough patch, Price has an outstanding matchup with the Red Wings in town—he stopped 28 of 29 shots in an 8-1 win in Detroit two weeks ago.

Grundstrom was acquired from the Maple Leafs in the trade that sent Jake Muzzin to Toronto. The 21-year-old, former second-round pick (2016) has scored three goals with seven assists (10 points) in 13 games Ontario since the trade—giving him 16 goals and 23 assists (39 points) in 55 AHL games this season. He is expected to make his NHL debut tonight in Arizona, skating on a line with Adrian Kempe and Tyler Toffoli.

Price allowed one goal on 27 shots in the Canadiens win in Los Angeles on Tuesday. With Antti Niemi going last night, Price draws the great matchup tonight in Anaheim. He has won three of his last four starts while stopping 102 of the 110 shots (.927 SV%) that he has faced. With a win tonight, Price will break Jacques Plante’s Canadiens franchise record for wins with 315.

Price allowed four goals on 24 shots in the Canadiens loss to the Penguins on Saturday. The loss snapped a brief two-game winning streak for Price, who is 4-3-0 with a 2.33 GAA and .921 SV% in his last seven games. He makes for an excellent option against a Kings team that has lost 10 of their last 11 (1-6-4) while being outscored 45-to-30.

Klingberg was absent from Monday’s practice but is expected to be in the lineup against the Rangers. Klingberg has been hot as of late, scoring one goal with six assists (seven points) in his last seven games.
