Gaudette was recently claimed off of waivers from the Blackhawks and will make his debut on Wednesday. Gaudette centred the third line with Alex Formenton and Zach Sanford in Tuesday's practice.

Gaudette was traded to the Blackhawks last April, picking up two goals and four assists (six points) in 15 games with Chicago between last year and this year.

Kurashev was a healthy scratch in Calgary on Tuesday but will draw back into the lineup on Friday. Kurashev has two assists in his last three games, but just five assists in 17 games this season.

Carlsson has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Kevin Connauton in the lineup on Wednesday. Carlsson has just one assist in three games this season.

Kurashev played just 6:25 TOI on Sunday and will be scratched tonight after "too many turnovers lately" according to head coach Derek King.

Liljegren has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Travis Dermott in the lineup vs. Pittsburgh. Liljegren has picked up just one assist in 10 games this season.

Thornton has missed the last eight games with an undisclosed injury but will be a game-time decision vs. the Devils. Thornton would replace Aleksander Barkov in the lineup but centre the third line and second power-play unit. If Thornton can't go, look for Maxim Mamin to play.

Liljegren played in eight straight games but will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday. Rasmus Sandin will draw back into the lineup to replace him.

Lindblom has gone without a point and a minus-3 rating in his last 11 games. Lindblom will be scratched to "get a reset" according to head coach Alain Vigneault. Expect Patrick Brown to replace him in the lineup.
