Price will start Tuesday in New York.

Price surrendered four goals on 36 shots in the Canadiens loss to the Lightning on Saturday. Antti Niemi started the front-end of the Habs back-to-back last night in Brooklyn, so Price will start tonight vs. the Rangers. The 31-year-old is 2-0-2 with a 1.97 GAA, .930 SV% and one shutout on the road this season.

Price will start Thursday vs. the Capitals.

Price allowed three goals on 21 shots in the Canadiens loss to Dallas on Tuesday. It was a rare bad outing for Price, who was fantastic in the first month of the season. The 31-year-old enters Thursday’s game at 4-2-2 with a 2.24 GAA and .915 SV% on the season, including a 2-2-0, 2.51 GAA and .898 SV% on home-ice.

Price will start Tuesday vs. the Stars.

Price stopped all 33 shots that he faced in the Canadiens shutout win in Boston on Saturday. It was an outstanding outing for Price, who has now won two in a row and three of the last four while posting a 1.98 GAA and .930 SV%. Tonight the Canadiens will host a Stars team that is 0-3-0 on the road this season.

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 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

Brossoit will start Friday in Detroit.

Brossoit stopped 42 of 45 shots in the Jets win over the Coyotes last Saturday. Through his first two starts as a Winnipeg Jet, Brossoit has turned away an impressive 84 of 88 shots (.955 SV%) two win both games. He should be able to continue his roll tonight in Detroit—the Red Wings are 1-6-2 while averaging the fourth fewest goals (2.22) in the league.

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%.

Brossoit stopped 42 of 43 shots in the Jets win over the Hurricanes last Sunday. Brossoit was exceptional in his Winnipeg debut and will make his second start vs. the Coyotes tonight. Arizona is on the tail-end of a back-to-back and still rank last in the NHL in goals per game (1.17) so far this season.

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.
