Brossoit stopped 42 of 43 shots in the Jets win over the Hurricanes last Sunday. Brossoit was exceptional in his Winnipeg debut and will make his second start vs. the Coyotes tonight. Arizona is on the tail-end of a back-to-back and still rank last in the NHL in goals per game (1.17) so far this season.
Price allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Canadiens loss to the Kings last Thursday. Price missed Saturday’s game with the flu and sat out again on Monday. Tonight he makes his fourth start of the year and comes into play with a 2.32 GAA and .909 SV% in his first three outings.
Gaudette played five games with the Canucks last season after turning pro following his Junior year at Northeastern University. The 2015 fifth round pick led Northeastern with 60 points (30G / 30A) in 38 games and has had a nice start to his AHL career, amassing four points (2G / 2A) in four games. The 22-year-old will likely make his season debut in Pittsburgh on Tuesday with Vancouver losing two centres (Elias Pettersson and Jay Beagle) in Florida on Saturday.
Price is out with the flu, so Charlie Lindgren has been recalled and is expected to backup Antti Niemi vs. the Penguins. Price is questionable for Monday’s game vs. the Red Wings as well.
Price allowed one goal on 22 shots in the Canadiens surprising win over the Penguins last Saturday. Price has enjoyed a strong start to the season, stopping 44 of the 48 shots (.917 SV%) that he has faced. He makes for a solid option tonight vs. a Kings team averaging just 2.33 goals per game.
Price allowed three goals on 26 shots in the Canadiens 3-2 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs on Wednesday. Price looked more like his old self in his season debut, but still couldn’t beat a talented Toronto team. Price could post strong spots this season, but his wins are bound to be limited.
Price was once revered as the best goalie in the NHL and one of the first goalies drafted in fantasy. He is coming off of the worst season of his career, posting a 3.11 GAA and .900 SV% across 49 games and the team in front of him only got worse this summer. Price will be a No.2 starting option throughout the season, but he is a very risky start against a high-powered Maple Leafs attack.

Svechnikov was banged in the Red Wings’ preseason game on Saturday and it looks like it will cost him a spot in the opening night roster. The power-forward was on the bubble, but will likely make his season debut in Grand Rapids (AHL) as soon as he is healthy.
Reaves was picked up from Pittsburgh midseason last year, and picked up two assists in 21 games with Vegas. He became a key member of their fourth line and a fan favourite, which is why he is getting nearly three million per season.
Kaut may come to North America for the 2019 season, but spent last year playing in the top Czech league as an 18-year-old. Playing with men, Kaut is low on the depth chart but he still picked up nine goals and seven assists (16 points) in 38 games. While getting a top-line opportunity at the World Juniors, Kaut recorded seven points (2G / 5A) in seven games. Kaut is a reliable 200-foot player who can score and set up his linemates. Kaut has drawn some comparisons to fellow Czech winger Jakub Voracek.
In his second season with the Flint Firebirds, assistant captain Ty Dellandrea scored 27 goals with 32 assists (59 points) in 67 games. Dellandrea is the type of player you want on your team. He possesses decent size (6-foot, 183 lbs.) and works his tail off on every shift. What sets him apart from other two-way centres, is his offensive game. Despite playing on the worst team in the OHL’s Western Conference, Dellandrea was able to raise his draft stock by leading the team in goals and finishing second in points.
Reaves has picked up two goals and 18 PIMS in 10 playoff games this postseason, but it looks like he will sit in Game 5 with Will Carrier (undisclosed) returning to the lineup.
