Montembeault will play in his second career NHL game with James Reimer serving as his backup. The 22-year-old, former third-round pick was 13-14-3 with a 3.16 GAA and .901 SV% in 37 games with Springfield (AHL) at the time of his call-up. Montembeault allowed four goals on 26 shots in the Panthers 4-3 OT loss to the Hurricanes in his first career start (Mar.2).

Price allowed four goals on 24 shots in the Canadiens loss to the Penguins on Saturday. The loss snapped a brief two-game winning streak for Price, who is 4-3-0 with a 2.33 GAA and .921 SV% in his last seven games. He makes for an excellent option against a Kings team that has lost 10 of their last 11 (1-6-4) while being outscored 45-to-30.

Dvorak missed the first 62 games of the season but will make his season debut on Tuesday. Dvorak did not record a point during his two-game conditioning stint with Tucson (AHL) but had 37 points (15G / 22A) in 78 games with Arizona last season.

Dvorak missed the first four and a half months of the season with what the Coyotes called an “upper-body” injury but recently played two games with Tucson on a conditioning stint. Dvorak did not record a point but returns to the Coyotes, where he had 37 points (15G / 22A) in 78 gmaes last year.

Bowey is a former second-round pick (2013) who started the year with the Capitals but has been a healthy scratch a lot recently. Bowey has one goal and five assists (six points) in 33 games this season. The 23-year-old is a strong skater, good passer and was a tremendous hitter in juniors but hasn’t shown it as frequently in the NHL. He should settle in as a third-pairing defenseman in Detroit for now and the Red Wings hope he can continue to grow into a top-4 defenseman.

Byron was listed as a game-time decision for Tuesday’s game and activating him from IR confirms that he will return to the lineup. Dale Weise was sent to Laval (AHL) to clear a roster spot for Byron.

Byron has missed the last six games but was on the ice for the morning skate and could return Tuesday vs. the Blue Jackets. Byron has 10 goals and nine assists (19 points) in 36 games this season.

Dvorak has been sidelined by a lower-body issue since training camp but has been skating with the Coyotes recently and a conditioning stint with Tucson is the next step to get him up to game speed. Dvorak will likely play a few AHL games before returning to Arizona where he will make his season debut. With Nick Schmaltz out and Alex Galchenyuk primarily playing the wing, Dvorak could step right into the No.2 centre role between Galchenyuk and Clayton Keller.

Price allowed three goals on 38 shots in the Canadiens loss in Nashville on Thursday. Price has lost two straight while allowing a combined seven goals on 70 shots (.900 SV%). Price allowed four goals on 36 shots in a 4-1 loss in his first game against the Lightning.
