The Red Wings have assigned Evgeny Svechnikov to Grand Rapids (AHL).

Svechnikov picked up two goals and two assists (four points) in 14 games during his call-up. The Red Wings season is virtually over, but the Griffins’ isn’t so Detroit will return some reinforcements. The 21-year-old has collected seven goals and 15 assists (22 points) in 52 games with Grand Rapids this season.

Price will start Monday vs. the Red Wings.

Price gave up six goals on 30 shots in the Candadiens loss to the Capitals on Saturday. Price has struggled mightily since returning to the crease last Wednesday, allowing a combined 11 goals on 69 shots (.841 SV%) in two starts. Despite his struggles, he remains a strong option tonight with the Red Wings in town.

Price will start Saturday vs. the Capitals.

Price gave up five goals on 39 shots in the Canadiens loss in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. It was a rough return to the crease for Price, who has had the toughest year of his career in 2018. His first start against Washington was a disaster as he was pulled after allowing four goals on 14 shots in the first period of a 6-1 loss.

Price will return to the Canadiens crease on Wednesday.

Price has been sidelined with a concussion since February 20th, but will return tonight in Pittsburgh. Despite being out the playoff picture, the Canadiens will give Price the opportunity to finish the season strong. Price has been terrible on the road, going 4-15-1 with a 3.36 GAA and .897 SV% this season.

Price (concussion) will travel to Toronto but will not play Saturday.

Price has been out with a concussion since February 20th but it looks like he is nearing a return to the Habs’ crease. Price won’t play in Toronto but the plan is for him to practice with the team until he is ready to start.

The Flyers have sent Oskar Lindblom to Lehigh Valley (AHL) to make him eligible to play in the AHL playoffs.

Lindblom has been up for the last three games and will be back up with Flyers on Tuesday, but had to go down today to ensure he can play in the AHL playoffs. He had no points in three games with the Flyers, but if his AHL numbers (16G-18A in 54 games) are any indication, he should produce at this level.
