Hischier is "available" to play Saturday but will be a game-time decision.

Hischier is available to make his season debut on Saturday but head coach Lindy Ruff would not confirm whether or not he will play. If he does play, expect Hischier to replace either Nathan Bastian or Nick Merkley and he could be eased into a bottom-6 role, since it's his first game since March 10th of last year.

Allen will start Tuesday vs. the Canucks.

Allen allowed one goal on 32 shots in the Canadiens 2-0 loss to the Flames on Saturday. It was another terrific outing from Allen but Jacob Markstrom was perfect at the other end of the ice. Through three starts with Montreal, Allen has a 1.68 GAA and .933 SV%, proving he is one of the best backup options in the NHL and an outstanding handcuff or standalone fantasy netminder.
