The Blackhawks have acquired Adam Gaudette from the Canucks for Matthew Highmore.

This seems like odd timing to trade Gaudette if you're the Canucks. Gaudette had a solid 2020 campaign, posting 33 points (12G / 21A) in 59 games but they've sold low on him, with him picking up just seven points (4G / 3A) in 33 games. Gaudette has some offensive upside but has been tough to trust in his own end. For the Blackhawks, it's a very low-risk investment.

White (upper-body) will return to the Senators lineup on Monday.

White has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but will play Monday vs. the Jets. White, who has eight goals and six assists (14 points) in 32 games this season, will centre the third line with Evgenii Dadonov and Nick Paul on his wings.

Colin White
Toffoli (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Saturday.

Toffoli has missed the last four games but all signs point to him returning to the lineup on Saturday. Toffoli, who has 18 goals and nine assists in 30 games this season, skated on the third line with Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Jonathan Drouin in the morning skate.

Gaudette was added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Tuesday.

Gaudette was on the ice for the start of Tuesday's practice but was pulled immediately once the results of his test came back positive. Gaudette will undergo further testing to determine if it was a false positive but this doesn't bode well for him playing on Wednesday.

Couture (neck) is expected to play on Friday.

Couture was hurt on a high-stick from Jeff Carter on Wednesday but said he's good-to-go on Friday. Couture said that his neck is stiff but should play in Arizona. The Sharks' top line has been excellent all season but Couture has just one goal and no assists in his last seven games.
