Line Change
Evans will come out of the Canadiens lineup on Tuesday.
Evans will not play in Seattle but it's unclear if it's injury-related or a coach's decision. Cedric Paquette will replace him in the Canadiens' bottom-6.
Lindstrom (undisclosed) is not expected to play on Wednesday.
Red Wings head coach Jeff Blashill said that Lindstrom will not play on Wednesday but does not believe it will be a long-term thing. Filip Hronek, who has been a healthy scratch for the last two games, will replace him in Washington.
Barre-Boulet will draw into the Lightning lineup on Monday.
Barre-Boulet was lost briefly on waivers but was re-claimed from the Kraken late last week. Barre-Boulet will replace Pat Maroon in the Lightning's bottom-6 on Monday.
The Lightning have claimed Alex Barre-Boulet off of waivers from the Kraken.
Barre-Boulet was lost to the Kraken on waivers but returns to the Lightning after playing two games with Seattle. Being re-claimed by the Lightning will allow them to send him to the AHL.
Evans (undisclosed) will return to the Canadiens lineup on Thursday.
Evans missed Tuesday's game with an undisclosed injury that he suffered vs. the Rangers on Saturday. Evans will re-enter the lineup on the fourth line with Artturi Lehkonen and Joel Armia on his wings. Evans has no points, five shots and a minus-1 rating in three games this season.
Evans (undisclosed) is day-to-day and will not play on Tuesday.
Matheson (lower-body) will make his season debut on Tuesday.
Evans (undisclosed) is questionable to play Tuesday vs. San Jose.
Evans was missing from Monday's practice and is questionable to play on Tuesday. Adam Brooks skated in his spot at practice and would likely replace him in the lineup if Evans is unable to play.
Barre-Boulet will be a healthy scratch on Monday.
Barre-Boulet played just 8:12 TOI on Saturday and has one assist in two games while averaging 8:39 TOI/gm. Barre-Boulet will be replaced by Kole Lind.
The Avalanche have reassigned Alex Newhook to Colorado (AHL).
The Avalanche are likely going to be without Nathan MacKinnon (COVID), Valeri Nichushkin (upper-body) and Gabriel Landeskog (suspension) on Saturday, so sending Newhook to the AHL opens up enough cap space to recall multiple forwards to fill the voids. Stefan Matteau and Dylan Sikura were recalled.
Barre-Boulet will make his Kraken debut on Thursday.
Barre-Boulet was claimed off of waivers from the Lightning on Monday but did not play in their season opener on Tuesday. With Marcus Johansson landing on IR on Wednesday, Barre-Boulet will draw into the lineup tonight vs. the Predators.
Goalie Start
Montembeault will make his Canadiens debut Thursday in Buffalo.
Matheson is day-to-day with a lower-body injury; will not play Tuesday.
Matheson is dealing with a nagging lower-body injury and will miss the Penguins season opener in Tampa Bay. With Matheson out, Mark Friedman will draw into the lineup.
The Canadiens have signed Nick Suzuki to an eight-year contract extension worth $63.0 million ($7.875M AAV).
Suzuki is entering the final year of his entry-level contract and will get a huge raise next season, going from $863.3K AAV to $7.875M AAV. With Philip Danault now in Los Angeles, Suzuki will be tasked with playing major minutes in 2021-22, as he looks to build on his 60-point pace from a season ago.
The Kraken have claimed Alex Barre-Boulet off waivers from the Lightning.
Barre-Boulet was an undrafted free agent who has put up outstanding point totals in the QMJHL and AHL. Last season he had 12 points (8G / 4A) in 10 games with Syracuse but just three goals in 15 games with the Lightning. In Seattle, he'll have a chance to make an immediate impact, especially with four forwards on the COVID-19 protocol list to open the season.
