Grigorenko, 20, has registered 10 goals and 21 assists (31 points) in 38 games with Rochester. With the Sabres breaking down their roster at the deadline, it looks like Grigorenko will be with the team for the remainder of the season. He has two points (1G / 1A) in 12 games with Buffalo.
Leopold was acquired from the Blue Jackets yesterday and will make his Wild debut tonight with Marco Scandella out with an undisclosed injury. Leopold has one goal and two assists in 25 games this season.
Spurgeon will miss his sixth straight game with a head injury, that is suspected to be a concussion. He was not expected to play today, but Thursday is possible for a return.
Scandella suffered an undisclosed injury on Saturday and it will force him to miss today’s game, despite practicing on Monday. With Scandella out, Jordan Leopold will make his Wild debut.
Ehrhoff said he experienced a reoccurrence of concussion symptoms after returning to the lineup last Wednesday. He has skated for the two straight days, so there is a chance that he could return on Wednesday in Colorado.

The Flames kept very quiet on Giordano’s injury leading up to the deadline, likely to protect their potential deals. Giordano even took warmups on Friday, but obviously didn’t play. The Flames and Gio explored all options to see if they could put surgery off, but ultimately the Flames medical staff elected the best course of action for Giordano was for him to undergo surgery. He is expected to rehab for the next 4-5 months.
The Maple Leafs had plenty of cap-room to take on Brewer’s $3.75M cap-hit. The Leafs wanted to move Holzer for a draft-pick, rather than lose him in free agency for nothing this offseason. Brewer has just one goal and five assists in 26 games between the Lightning and Ducks this season.
Holzer, 26, is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. He has plenty of size at 6-foot-3, 205 lbs and bring a physical brand of hockey, but provides little in the way of offence. Holzer had six assists in 34 games with the Maple Leafs.
