NHL Hockey Player News

Harrold has one goal in four games with the Devils this season. The 31-year-old blue liner also recorded one goal and one assist in 13 games with Albany.

Brunner had recorded seven points (2G / 5A) in 17 games this season. It was a bit surprising to see him on waivers considering all the injuries that the Devils are battling up-front.

Sestito was activated from IR over the weekend, he has been limited to just two games this season because of a lower-body injury.

Cammalleri reportedly pulled a muscle in his butt and will not travel to Carolina for Monday’s game. There is no word on if he will be available on Tuesday against Chicago.

Elias missed Thursday’s game with a groin injury, but was able to return on Saturday, where he aggrevated the injury which will cost him to miss Monday’s game vs. the Hurricanes.

Pavelec allowed two goals on 24 shots in the Jets win over the Oilers on Wednesday. He has won each of his last two starts while allowing just three goals on 44 shots (.932 SV%). Today he gets the call in goal vs. a Ducks team who have won three in a row, but will be without Corey Perry.

Head coach Bruce Boudreau wants to get a look at Robak, so he will get into the lineup today for Mark Fistric. Robak was acquired earlier in the week from Florida.

Stone missed Saturday’s game vs. the Penguins, but he is expected to be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Canucks. If Stone is ready to go go, he will replace Milan Michalek who is out with an upper-body injury.

Michalek has one assist in yesterday’s loss to the Penguins, but he must have sustained an upper-body injury that grew worse over the last 24 horus. He will be held out today and Mark Stone will be back in.

Brodeur stopped 14 of 15 shots in relief in the Blues come from behind win over the Islanders on Saturday. It was his first career win with St. Louis and tonight he makes his first home start as he gets set to take on the Panthers. Brodeur has looked strong in two appearances, making him a reasonably safe start tonight.

Anderson allowed three goals on 33 shots in the Senators 3-2 loss to the Penguins last night. He gave up a late goal to Christian Ehrhoff thanks to a defensive breakdown. Anderson has lost his last five games with a 3.01 GAA and .914 SV%, but with Robin Lehner out, Anderson will make his fourth straight start.

Matthias was elbowed in the head by the Leafs’ defenseman Stephane Robias on Saturday. The Canucks winger struggled to regain his balance after falling to the ice. He was woozy, left the game and didn’t return. Its not a stretch to suggest a concussion because a quiet-room visit and then not returning would mean the customary seven-day window to ensure symptoms subside. If he is unavailable on Sunday, Nicklas Jensen would get into the lineup.

Lehner skated on Sunday morning and said he needed time to rest a knee injury, but he will be back at practice on Tuesday and could start on Thursday if he is called upon.

O’Brien, 20, registered two points (1G / 1A) in 13 games with the Capitals this season. The 6’1”, 210-pound forward signed with Washington as a free agent on Oct. 6 and made his NHL debut on Oct. 9 against Montreal. O’Brien earned his first NHL point on Oct. 14 against San Jose and scored his first NHL goal on Oct. 26 at Vancouver.

Terry was with Charlotte on a conditioning stint, and scored one goal with one assist in five games in Charlotte. No word on if he will be in the lineup today vs. the Red Wings.

Kennedy left Saturday’s game game with an upper-body injury and did not return. Kennedy was spotted seeing a sling following Saturday’s game so he will not be in the lineup tonight in Edmonton. Expect Tye McGinn to get back into the lineup.

Cammalleri played just 13:26 before retiring to the dressing room for the evening. The Devils did not have an update on Cammalleri following the loss, so consider him day-to-day and expect more details to be released over the next 24 hours.

Volchenkov did not play on Saturday night, he was replaced by Victor Bartley. Volchenkov likely suffered the injury on Thursday vs. the Blues, where he played just 11:18. He is questionable for Tuesday’s clash with Colorado. Bartley will remain in the lineup until Volchenkov is 100 percent.

Mrazek gave up four goals on 25 shots in the Red Wings come from behind win over the Devils on November 28th. It has not been pretty, but Mrazek has won both of his starts this season, however he has posted a 3.36 GAA and .875 SV% in the process. If you need Sunday goalie numbers, this matchup sets up nicely for him.

Andersen allowed four goals on 25 shots n the Ducks win over the Wild on Friday. It was the second straight game that Andersen has given up four and come away with the win. At this point, the Ducks are winning in spite of Andersen not because of him. He has been victorious in six of eight, despite posting a 3.16 GAA and .900 SV%.
