Gaudette is expected to be back in the Canucks lineup on Monday.

Gaudette was a healthy scratch on Saturday, but was on the second power-play unit in Sunday’s practice. That kind of participation suggests that Gaudette will be back in the lineup vs. the Wild. Gaudette will likely play in the bottom-6 now that Elias Pettersson is back in and re-enters the lineup with just one assist in six games.

Price leads the Canadiens onto the ice for warmups.

Price made 21 saves on 23 shots in the Canadiens win over the Flames on Tuesday. Price was given a breather with Antti Niemi starting on Thursday, so look for him to be between the pipes tonight in Boston. Price has alternated wins and losses in his first six starts, posting a 2.48 GAA and .906 SV% in the process

Price will start Tuesday vs. the Flames.

Price allowed four goals on 34 shots in the Canadiens loss in Ottawa. So far Price has won two of his first five starts while posting a 2.57 GAA and .904 SV%. Tonight he will make his third start on home-ice, where he’s stopped 49 of 54 shots (.907 SV%) this year. The Canadiens welcome in a Flames team that is fifth in the NHL in goals per game (3.75).

Price allowed two goals on 25 shots in the Canadiens win over the Blues on Wednesday. Price has enjoyed a strong start to the season, winning two of his first four starts while posting a 2.24 GAA and .912 SV%. He should be able to continue that strong play tonight in Ottawa—Price was 2-1-0 with a 1.35 GAA and .956 SV% vs. the Senators last year.

Price will start Wednesday vs. the Blues.

Price allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Canadiens loss to the Kings last Thursday. Price missed Saturday’s game with the flu and sat out again on Monday. Tonight he makes his fourth start of the year and comes into play with a 2.32 GAA and .909 SV% in his first three outings.

The Canucks have recalled Adam Gaudette from Utica (AHL).

Gaudette played five games with the Canucks last season after turning pro following his Junior year at Northeastern University. The 2015 fifth round pick led Northeastern with 60 points (30G / 30A) in 38 games and has had a nice start to his AHL career, amassing four points (2G / 2A) in four games. The 22-year-old will likely make his season debut in Pittsburgh on Tuesday with Vancouver losing two centres (Elias Pettersson and Jay Beagle) in Florida on Saturday.

Price will start Thursday vs. the Kings.

Price allowed one goal on 22 shots in the Canadiens surprising win over the Penguins last Saturday. Price has enjoyed a strong start to the season, stopping 44 of the 48 shots (.917 SV%) that he has faced. He makes for a solid option tonight vs. a Kings team averaging just 2.33 goals per game.

Price will start Saturday in Pittsburgh.

Price allowed three goals on 26 shots in the Canadiens 3-2 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs on Wednesday. Price looked more like his old self in his season debut, but still couldn’t beat a talented Toronto team. Price could post strong spots this season, but his wins are bound to be limited.

Price leads the Canadiens onto the ice for warmups.

Price was once revered as the best goalie in the NHL and one of the first goalies drafted in fantasy. He is coming off of the worst season of his career, posting a 3.11 GAA and .900 SV% across 49 games and the team in front of him only got worse this summer. Price will be a No.2 starting option throughout the season, but he is a very risky start against a high-powered Maple Leafs attack.

The Red Wings have placed Evgeny Svechnikov on the non-roster injured reserve.

Svechnikov was banged in the Red Wings’ preseason game on Saturday and it looks like it will cost him a spot in the opening night roster. The power-forward was on the bubble, but will likely make his season debut in Grand Rapids (AHL) as soon as he is healthy.

The Avalanche select Martin Kaut with the No.16 overall pick.

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.
