Matheon has missed the last five games but with Corey Stillman heading back to the AHL on Tuesday, it paved the way for Matheson's return vs. The Capitals. He has had a slow offensive start to the season, pointing a single assist in nine games.

Price gave up three goals on 39 shots I the Canadiens loss in Dallas on Saturday. The loss snapped a brief two-game winning streak for Price, who comes into Tuesday's game at 3-3-0 with a 2.55 GAA, .903 SV% and one shutout on home-ice. He was 2-2-0 with a 2.28 GAA, .938 SV% and one shutout vs. the Bruins last year but they are a ridiculous 11-1-2 and average 3.71 goals per game (3rd) this year, so beware.

Price allowed one goal on 33 shots in the Canadiens win in Arizona on Wednesday. Keith Kinkaid got the nod on Thursday, so Price will likely start Saturday night in Dallas. Price has won four of his last five while posting an impressive 1.82 GAA, .935 SV% and one shutout. Price is playing very well but the Stars come in having won five of their last six, so they're hot as well.

Price stopped 29 of 31 shots in the Canadiens victory over the Maple Leafs last Saturday. Price has won three of his last four and tonight he faces a Coyotes team that he is 11-1-0 against in his career. However, these are not your dad's Coyotes, they are 7-3-1 while averaging 3.00 goals for (t-17th) and 2.18 goals against (2nd) to start 2019-20. Price comes in at 2-0-1 with a .912 SV% on the road.

Blais missed Sunday's game in Detroit but is set to play tonight vs. the Wild. Blais will get a huge opportunity tonight as he lines up on the first line with Brayden Schenn and Jaden Schwartz, replacing Vladimir Tarasenko. Blais has three goals and two assists (five points) in 10 games this season. The 23-year-old provides even more value in banger leagues, averaging 2.6 hits per game.

Laine suffered a lower-body injury in practice on Monday and will come out of the lineup on Tuesday. Oddly enough, Luca Sbisa, who he got tangled up with, will take his spot in the lineup as a No.7 defenseman.

Laine was tangled up with Luca Sbisa in Monday's practice and could miss Tuesday's game in Anaheim. This would put some strain on the Jets' forward group, who will also be without Adam Lowry, who is serving a two-game suspension.

Monteambeault allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Panthers win in Nashville on October 19th. Sergei Bobrovsky started the last three games, including last night, so look for Montembeault to make his third start of the year on Monday. The 22-year-old is 1-0-1 with a 1.79 GAA and .933 SV% in his first two starts and one relief appearance of 2019-20. Tonight he faces a Vancouver team that has won six of their last eight while averaging 3.88 goals per game.

Matheson was forced to leave Tuesday's game vs. the Penguins and is expected to miss at least 10 days with an undisclosed injury. Riley Stillman was called up from the AHL to replace Matheson on Thursday.

Blais is considered day-to-day with a thumb injury, so Zach Sanford will replace him in the lineup on Thursday. Blais could be back for the Blues' back-to-back on Saturday/Sunday.

Price allowed two goals on 34 shots in the Canadiens win in St. Louis last Saturday. Keith Kinkaid started on Sunday, so Price comes into Thursday's game very well-rested. Price has won three of his last four starts (3-1-0) while posting a 2.02 GAA, .922 SV% and one shutout. San Jose comes into Thursday's game at 3-5-1 and still ranks in the bottom third of the NHL in goal-scoring (2.67 GF/gm).

Bowey was a healthy scratch last night vs. The Canucks but will replace Danny DeKeyser (undisclosed) in the lineup in Ottawa. Bowey has just one assist in four games this season.

Not to be confused with this summer’s No.2 overall pick Kaapo Kakko, Kahkonen was a fourth-round pick in 2014. The 23-year-old netminder has gone 4-0-0 with a 2.95 GAA and .886 SV% in four AHL games this season. He is expected to serve as Alex Stalock’s backup on Thursday because Devan Dubnyk was banged up in Tuesday’s win.
