Morrow, 21, was recalled when Zdeno Chara originally got injured, but was sent back to Providence when Zach Trotman played well on Saturday vs. the Leafs. The B's bluleine struggled on Tuesday night, so they have recalled Morrow to give him a shot. He was a part of the Tyler Seguin trade and has scored one goal with one assists in five games with Providence.
The Bruins blueline struggled on Tuesday without Zdeno Chara and Johnny Boychuk, so they are going to try a few combinations of young players to see what works best. Warsofsky has one points and a minus-3 rating in the AHL this season and has one goal and one assist in six career NHL games.
Brodin crashed violently into the end-boards after being checked from behind by Chris Kreider on Monday. He returned for the third period of that game, but was too banged to play last night. Brodin reportedly had his left hand bandaged up after Monday's game, but it sounds like he is battling a a couple of minor injuries.
Colbrone retired to the dressing room after playing just 8:09. He is tied for eighth in the NHL with eight assists in the first 11 games of the season, but his hot-start could come to a halt if this upper-body injury is serious.
Stajan was injured in a knee-on-knee collision with Habs' defenseman Jared Tinordi. Stajan was in pain and had to be helped off of the ice, which is not a good sign that he will be back soon.
Wisniewski joins an already lengthy injury list in Columbus. The Blue Jackets have not been able to catch a break to start the season and it continued on Tuesday night when Wisniewski broke his finger in a loss to the Senators. Wisniewski has missed 53 games over three years in Columbus, so he is no stranger to the IR.
Backes suffered the injury in the first period when he collided with Stars' defenseman Trevor Daley in the offensive zone. Backes hit the ice hard and suffered what the Blues are calling an upper-body injury. St. Louis hosts Anaheim on Thursday, so expect an update on Wednesday or Thursday morning.
Heatley will skate on the Ducks top line with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. The former 50-goal scorer is worth a speculative add in standard leagues while he is playing on that line.
Lehtonen gave up two goals on 27 shots in the Stars win over the Devils on Friday. He took a seat on Saturday, but Anders Lindback was lit up so naturally Lehtonen will be back in the crease tonight vs. the Blues. He has won four of his six starts while posting a 2.74 GAA and .915 SV% so far. Lehtonen went 2-1-1 with a 2.60 GAA and .897 SV% vs. St. Louis last season.
Smith held the Panthers to just one goal on 24 shots in Saturday's overtime win. Since getting off to a real ugly start, Smith has shut the door on 50 of the last 53 shots (.943 SV%) he has faced in his last two starts. He draws a very difficult matchup against his former team in Tampa Bay.
Tinordi served as a healthy scratch on Monday vs. the Oilers but he will get back into the lineup tonight, presumably for Nathan Beaulieu, who replaced him last night.
Quick allowed two goals on 24 shots in the Kings 5-2 victory vs. Columbus on Sunday. Since starting the season 0-2, Quick has won five in a row while posting an absurd 0.79 GAA and .976 SV%. He is a must-start even though he is facing a Flyers team that is tied for fifth in scoring (3.25 G/PG).
Fleury stopped all 25 shots he faced in the Penguins 3-0 win over the Predators on Saturday. Fleury has alternated wins and losses in each of his last five starts and has posted a 2.34 GAA and .920 SV% on the season. It has been a great start to the year and he should make for a good start tonight against a Devils team he was 2-2-0 with a 1.76 GAA and .940 SV% against last year.
Rask turned aside 32 of 33 shots in the Bruins 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday. After facing an average of just 22 shots in his first four starts and posting an .852 SV%, Rask has faced 33.5 shots per game in his last two games and posted a .940 SV%. Maybe the heavy workload helps him? Hopefully so because that trend should continue with Zdeno Chara out of the lineup.
Haula left Monday's game after being hit in the head by John Moore of the Rangers. The Wild announced that Haula has not been diagnosed with a concussion, but will still be held out for precautionary measures. Kyle Brodziak will be in the lineup for Haula.
Nikitin missed Monday's game with back spasms and he likely won't be in the lineup on Wednesday vs. the Predators. With Nikitin out, expect Brad Hunt to stay in the lineup.
Smith held the Panthers to just one goal on 24 shots in Saturday's overtime win. Since getting off to a real ugly start, Smith has shut the door on 50 of the last 53 shots (.943 SV%) he has faced in his last two starts. Should he end up getting the call tonight, he draws a very difficult matchup against his former team in Tampa Bay.
Quick allowed two goals on 24 shots in the Kings 5-2 victory vs. Columbus on Sunday. Since starting the season 0-2, Quick has won five in a row while posting an absurd 0.79 GAA and .976 SV%. He is a must-start even though he is facing a Flyers team that is tied for fifth in scoring (3.25 G/PG).
Weiss has been a healthy scratch in all but one of the Red Wings first eight games. The 31-year-old played just 8:03 and failed to record a point or shot. He has been a huge disappointment for Detroit since signing a big deal two summers ago. He will head to Grand Rapids where he will try to get back up to speed and hopefully crack the Wings' lineup when he returns.
Miller allowed two goals on 22 shots in a win over the Capitals on Sunday. Miller has had just one bad start this season, but he has otherwise played very well, winning five of six with a 2.58 GAA and .906 SV%. Tonight he is a must-start at home against the winless Hurricanes.
