Grubauer stopped all 18 shots that he faced in Colorado’s shutout win over the Sabres on Saturday afternoon. It was one of the easiest shutouts Grubauer will ever post and comes into Monday’s game at 2-1-0 with a 0.83 GAA, .958 SV% and two shutouts in his last five appearances (two starts). In his first start against the Hurricanes, Grubauer stopped 42 of 43 shots in a 3-1 win (Oct.20).

Grubauer allowed two goals on 23 shots in Colorado’s loss in Anaheim last Sunday. Grubauer has played very well in his last two starts and two relief appearances, stopping 72 of the last 75 shots (.960 SV%) that he has faced.

Gibson has gone 18-9-1 with a 2.89 GAA and .900 SV% in 33 games with Bridgeport this season. Gibson is expected to serve as Thomas Greiss’ backup on Thursday with Robin Lehner getting hurt late in Tuesday’s game after a collision with Brady Tkachuk.

Montour was acquired from the Ducks on Sunday and will meet the team in Toronto but will not play on Monday. Montour will likely make his debut Tuesday in Philadelphia.

Montour was originally a second-round pick (No.55 overall) in 2014 and has become a trusted defenseman in Anaheim. Montour has five goals and 20 assists (25 points) while averaging 22:40 TOI/gm through 62 games this season. Montour projects to take Matt Hunwick’s spot in the Sabres lineup and will likely skate in their top-4.

Lajoie had a hot start to the season but has just 15 points (7G / 8A) in 56 games this season. Lajoie has a bright future ahead of him but needs some more seasoning in the AHL. Lajoie had 15 points (1G / 14A) in 56 AHL games last season.

Grubauer allowed five goals on 28 shots in Colorado’s loss to Minnesota on January 23rd. Since mid-December, Grubauer has gone 1-4-0 with a 4.12 GAA and .862 SV% in his last seven starts. Grubauer was great in Washington but has not had the same success in Colorado but has a nice matchup vs. a Blue Jackets team that has lost five in a row.

The Penguins acquired Oleksiak from the Stars last season for the very same fourth-round pick that the Stars just sent back to them. It was essentially an 83-game loan, where Oleksiak had eight goals and 17 assists (25 points). The move frees up $2.1375M in cap space for the Penguins.

Grubauer gave up six goals on 20 shots in Winnipeg back on January 8th. Semyon Varlamov had an extended run in Colorado’s crease but Grubauer will get a shot at the Wild on Wednesday. The 27-year-old has gone 4-2-1 with a 2.94 GAA and .894 SV% at the Pepsi Center this season.

The Senators went with seven defensemen last night but Lajoie is expected to be replaced by Nick Paul on Saturday night. Lajoie has been held pointless in his last 12 games.

Burakovsky has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Nic Dowd on Monday. Burakovsky has not had a good season, scoring just five goals with four assists (nine points) in 38 games this season.

McCann was scratched in Calgary on Friday but will be back in the lineup on Sunday. McCann has seven goals and 10 assists (17 points) in 41 games this season.

Dunn was originally believed to be a healthy scratch on Tuesday but the Blues confirmed that he is dealing with a lower-body injury. With Dunn out, Alex Pietrangelo and Connor Parayko will man the points on the Blues’ power-play units.

Mahura has split his campaign between the AHL and NHL. Mahura has nine points (1G / 8A) in 14 games with San Diego and five points (1G / 4A) in 17 games with Anaheim.
