Price was terrific in Game 1, stopping 39 of 41 shots in the Canadiens 3-2 overtime win. He was not sharp before the season was paused so the long layoff may have done the veteran some good. Price comes into Game 2 having not given up more than three goals in a game in his last 11 playoff starts.

Anderson has not played since December 14th and underwent shoulder surgery in March. Anderson skated on his own on Sunday but has yet to join the team sessions. Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella had "no information at all" on Anderson, so it's unclear whether the power-forward could be ready for the Maple Leafs or any potential series beyond that.

Beaudin, who was a first-round pick in 2018, has scored three goals with 12 assists (15 points) in 59 games during his first career AHL season. He will make his debut with Adam Boqvist sidelined with a concussion.

Price allowed four goals on 23 shots in the Canadiens loss in Tampa Bay last Thursday. Charlie Lindgren gave him the night off on Saturday, so Price comes into Tuesday's meeting with the Predators well-rested. Price has lost three of his last four starts (1-2-1) with a 3.49 GAA and .876 SV%. Tonight he faces a Nashville team that is 5-3-0 while scoring 2.50 goals per game in their last eight games.

Gallagher missed Thursday's game in Tampa Bay but will play tonight in Florida. Gallagher has scored three goals with three assists (six points) in his last six games.

Price allowed two goals on 22 shots in the Canadiens win over the Islanders on Tuesday. The win snapped a brief two-game losing skid for Price, who will make his league-leading 57th start of the season tonight. He has gone 0-3-0 with a 3.45 GAA and .867 SV% in his first three starts against the Lightning this season.

Gallagher missed the morning skate with an illness and is a game-time decision tonight in Tampa Bay. The Canadiens are already without Tomas Tatar (upper-body) so they will dress seven defensemen if Gallagher can't play.
