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.



Noesen will play for the first time since January 28th, replacing Marcus Sorensen on the fourth line. Noesen has failed to record a point in four games this season.







Glendening left Sunday's game in Florida and will miss tonight's rematch. With Glendening out, Anthony Mantha (healthy scratch) should be back in.





MacEwen has skated in seven straight games but will be replaced by Jake Virtanen in the lineup on Thursday. MacEwen has scored one goal in 10 games this season.

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.
