The Canadiens have acquired Dustin Tokarski from the Ducks for Max Friberg.

Tokarski has gone 1-3-0 with a 3.18 GAA and .878 SV% with the Canadiens this season and 3-3-4 with a 2.84 GAA and .909 SV% with St. John’s (AHL). Acquiring Tokarski gives the Ducks four NHL-read net minders, John Gibson, Frederik Andersen, Anton Khudobin and Tokarski. The chances of the Ducks actually carrying all four seem slim, so expect them to have another move up their sleeve, likely moving Khudobin so he can play in the NHL.

Andersen will start Friday vs. the Canucks.

Andersen is 5-8-4 with a2.59 GAA and .911 SV% on the season and draws a strong matchup against the 14-15-9 Canucks.
