Lagace will be elevated to the active roster and get the starting nod against the Canadiens at home Tuesday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lagace steps into the crease as both Andrei Vasilevskiy and Brian Elliott are currently in the league's COVID-19 protocols. Barring any change in either player's status, the 28-year-old Lagace may be tasked with defending the cage versus Florida on Thursday as well. Considering Lagace has logged just two NHL games over the past four seasons, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting much out of the Quebec native.
