Caufield missed seven games while in COVID-19 protocol but was on the ice for Monday's practice and is expected to play Tuesday vs. the Devils. Caufield skated in the bottom-6 in Monday's session and has not scored a goal in 12 games.
Dvorak missed the final three games prior to the All-Star break but may be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Dvorak skated as the No.3 centre in Monday's session, a good sign that he'll play vs. New Jersey.
Montembeault has missed the last two games with a wrist injury but will serve as Cayden Primeau's backup on Thursday and is expected to start either Saturday or Sunday.
Dvorak left Monday's game vs. the Wild after being hit by Jared Spurgeon and did not return after failing a concussion test. He was missing from Wednesday's practice and is being evaluated on a day-to-day basis.
Dach will likely draw back into the lineup on Friday after being activated from the COVID-19 protocol list. In addition to Dach, Brett Connolly was also activated and Dylan Strome was activated yesterday.
Armia and Cole Caufield were added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Tuesday, so look for Michael Pezzetta and someone from the taxi squad to enter the lineup in Dallas.
