Sami Salo News
Salo said he felt good after skating this morning, but will miss a second straight game with an upper-body injury. Mike Kostka will stay in the lineup with Salo still sidelined. Consider him day-to-day, he will be ready for the playoffs by the sounds of things.
Salo was banged up on Tuesday and may not play on Thursday. Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said the injury is not serious and Salo is just day-to-day.
Salo was injured in the first period on Tuesday, but took part in Wednesday's practice and will play tonight vs. the Panthers. The 39-year-old D-man has two goals and 10 assists in 56 games this season.
Salo left Monday's game with a lower-body injury after playing just 3:05 and did not return. Salo was injured while blocking a shot so there is a good chance that he is only dealing with a bruise and could play on Thursday.
Salo missed the last two games after suffering an ankle injury in the first period of Saturday's win over the Flyers. Andrej Sustr will come out of the lineup to make room for Salo.
Salo is expected to be replaced by Mark Barberio after suffering a bruised ankle in Saturday's win over Flyers. Salo likely won't play on Tuesday either, but he is not expected to be out longterm.
Salo only played 4:30 in the Lightning's win over the Flyers. He left with an apparent leg injury, putting very limited weight on his leg as he left the ice. Expect a full update later today or on Sunday. The Lightning have a lot of D depth, expect Mark Barberio to slide back in if Salo can't play on Monday.
Salo is expected to return tonight after missed the last four games with an upper-body injury that he suffered on December 23 vs. the Panthers. He had been skating for the last few days, so there is a really good chance that he returns tonight vs. the Oilers. He has one goal and six assists in 34 games.
Salo missed the last two games after suffering a lower-body injury on Monday vs. Boston. Salo is a key cog on the Tampa blueline, and will be a welcomed sight for goaltender Ben Bishop tonight.
Salo was injured on Monday and missed Tuesday's game in Montreal. He is doubtful to suit up tonight vs. Anaheim.
Salo was injured in Monday's contest vs. the Bruins. The Lightning also lost Keith Aulie on the blueline and of course Steven Stamkos upfront. Mark Barberio will enter the lineup for Salo.
In a game where Steven Stamkos broke his tibia, losing Salo is just salt in the wound. It sounds like the injury might be serious, not a broken tibia serious, but he could miss multiple weeks.
Salo was a late scratch for Thursday's game because of an upper-body injury.
Consider Salo day-to-day and questionable for tomorrow's meeting with the Blackhawks.
No word yet on how long Salo could be out for. At this stage in the season, drop him for a healthier blueliner.
Salo has one goal, seven assists and is a plus-11 in 19 games this season. Consider him day-to-day and monitor his status prior to tomorrow's game vs. the Rangers.
The often injured Salo left the game early Tuesday. We will update when we know more.
Look for Salo to play on the third pairing and top PP unit tonight. He has eight goals and 22 points on the season which includes 12 PP.
No surprise as Salo continues to be rested in back-to-back games. The veteran scored eight goals and 22 points in 61 games.
