Caufield and Joel Armia were added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Tuesday, so look for Michael Pezzetta and someone from the taxi squad to enter the lineup in Dallas.


Anderson has been out since December 2nd but is expected to play Monday in Arizona. Anderson, who will likely return to a line with Christian Dvorak, has 13 points (7G / 6A) in 25 games this season.








Texier missed the last two games due to a "non-COVID illness" but has now tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss at least two more games.


This is a huge blow for the Blue Jackets, who will also be without Zach Werenski and Elvis Merzlikins. Texier has been red-hot as of late, posting 10 points (5G / 5A) in his last 10 games.


The Canadiens have been completely decimated by injuries and COVID-19 and will likely have to play with 11 forwards and five defensemen on Saturday.

Gallagher missed the second half of Thursday's game in Carolina with a lower-body injury and is doubtful to play Saturday afternoon. With Gallagher out, Jesse Ylonen is expected to skate on the Canadiens' top line.
