Ersson had a 5-0-0 record, 2.37 GAA and .918 SV% with Philadelphia but was re-assigned to Lehigh Valley (AHL) on Friday. Ersson had to be returned to the minors due to Felix Sandstrom's conditioning stint finishing up as he had to be returned to the Flyers or waived.

Grundstrom has been out of the Kings' lineup since January 11th due to a lower-body injury and has been placed on the injured reserve retroactive to that date. The 25-year-old winger had six goals, four assists, 53 SOG, 14 PIMs, and a -7 plus/minus through 37 games prior to the injury.

Ersson stopped all 28 shots for his first career shutout as he won his fourth straight game in a flawless victory over Buffalo in his last start. The 23-year-old rookie has been unbeatable throughout his first six career games, with his 4-0-0 record, 2.44 GAA and .917 SV%. He will be taking on the Anaheim Ducks, who will be looking to snap a four-game losing skid after a 4-3 overtime loss to Pittsburgh in their last game.

Vladar stopped 13 of 14 shots (.929 SV%) in a two-period relief effort his last time out vs. Chicago. The Flames' backup netminder has enjoyed an up-and-down campaign, with his 6-4-4 record, 2.76 GAA and .906 SV%. He takes on the St. Louis Blues, who have won four of their last five games after a 4-3 overtime win over this same Calgary team on Tuesday.

Richard had a goal, an assist, six SOG, two PIMs and a +2 plus/minus through seven games with the Canadiens but will head back to the Laval Rocket (AHL). Prior to his call-up, he had 18 goals, and 31 points in 27 games with Laval.

Ersson stopped 28 of 29 shots (.966 SV%) for his third straight win as he defeated the Anaheim Ducks in his previous start. The 23-year-old has had a solid four-game showing with the Flyers so far, with his 3-0-0 record, 2.90 GAA and .905 SV%. He will face the Buffalo Sabres, who have won eight of their last nine games and are 1st in the NHL in goals per game (4.0).

Richard has a goal, an assist, six SOG, and a +2 plus/minus through seven games so far this season in a bottom-six role with the Canadiens but he will be a healthy scratch Monday. Mike Hoffman will take his spot in the lineup.

Grundstrom has six goals, four assists, 53 SOG, 14 PIMs and a -7 plus/minus across 36 games played but will, unfortunately, be the odd man out and a healthy scartch as Brandon Lemieux returns to the Kings lineup.

Pederson has a goal, two assists, and 12 SOG through seven games but will be a healthy scratch Thursday vs. Colorado as Jack Studnicka draws back into the Avalanche's lineup.

Richard was a healthy scratch for the Canadiens' previous game but will draw back into the lineup Tuesday as they take on the Predators. The 26-year-old has one goal, four SOG and a +2 plus/minus through four games played so far with Montreal this season.

Ersson stopped 27 of 29 shots (.931 SV%) to stay undefeated and pick up his second straight victory with a win over Los Angeles in his last start. The 23-year-old has done enough while filling in for an injured Carter Hart, with his 2-0-0 record, 3.58 GAA and .885 SV%. He will take on Anaheim, who has lost four of their last five games after a 6-1 loss to Nashville in their last game.

Ersson was shelled for five goals on 30 shots (.833 SV%) in the only start of his career, a loss to Carolina his last time out. The 23-year-old will be hoping for better fortunes in his second start of the year as he replaces Carter Hart (concussion) for the time being. He will be looking to pick up his first career win as he takes on the San Jose Sharks, who have lost four of their last five games after a 6-2 loss to Vancouver in their last game.

Gilbert has not played since Dec. 18th due to an undisclosed injury but has been activated off the injured reserve Wednesday. The 26-year-old has one assist and 20 PIMs with five SOG through eight games this season prior to the injury.
