Parise missed the entire third period of last night’s contest after suffering an undisclosed upper-body injury. Minnesota takes on the Senators on Thursday, so this does not bode well for Parise’s availability.
Klein missed Monday's game vs. the Blues but will be back on the blue line tonight. He is expected to skate with Marc Staal as his D-partner. Klein has two goals and one assist in 10 games this season.
Zuccarello missed Monday’s game vs. the Blues with an undisclosed injury but he will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Red Wings. He is expected to return to the wing alongside Derick Brassard and Rick Nash.
Phillips is not on the ice for practice this morning so the lower-body injury that he suffered last night might be enough to keep him out of the lineup on Thursday.
Chiasson missed Tuesday’s game with a lower-body injury. It looked as if he was going to play because he participated in the morning skate, but he was scratched prior to warmups. Being on the ice again today suggests he will be back tomorrow.
Borowiecki has missed the last three games with an undisclosed. There is no word on what is ailing Borowiecki, but his return to the ice this morning is a good sign that he could be back tomorrow vs. the Wild.
Alex Killorn was not on the ice again on Wednesday, so he seems doubtful for Thursday, which means Paquette will be reinserted into the lineup. He skated on the fourth line with Vladislav Namestnikov and Jonathan Drouin this morning.
Foligno is reportedly “banged up” but no word has been released as to what ailing him. He will sit again tonight, which means Johan Larsson will remain in the lineup vs. the Canadiens.
Klein left the ice this morning with the rest of the main group, while Dylan McIlrath stayed on for extra work, which means that Klein should be back on the blue line tonight vs. the Red Wings.
Stuart could miss some time with the leg injury, but we won’t get an update until after the Avs’ practice this afternoon.
Lundqvist stopped all 25 shots that he faced in the Rangers 1-0 shootout loss to the Jets. He is still credited with the shutout, but couldn’t get the job done in the shootout to earn the W. After sitting on Monday, King Henrik will be between the pipes tonight vs. Detroit. The Wings are struggling offensively so start Lundqvist… As if you weren’t already.
Klein is a full-participant in the Rangers’ game day skate after missing Monday’s game with a foot contusion. We will get confirmation from Alain Vigneault once the skate wraps up.
Zuccarello missed Monday’s game, but was back on the ice for practice on Tuesday and is skating again today, which suggests he will be in the lineup tonight vs. Detroit. After a breakout 2013-14, he has just four points (1G / 3A) in nine games this season.
Allen stopped all 26 shots that he faced in the Blues 1-0 win over the Devils last night. He was coming off of a 24-save shutout vs. the Ducks on October 30th. He joins Ernie Wakely as the only other Blues rookie to post consecutive shutouts, Wakely did it way back in 1970. The way Allen is playing, he is going to force coach Hitchcock to give him starts. He is only owned in 41 percent of Yahoo leagues.
Sharp suffered what appeared to be a right leg injury in Tuesday’s win over the Blackhawks. Sharp was crunched in the corner by Alexei Emelin and needed help getting off of the ice. Head coach Joel Quenneville said Sharp could be out “a bit, we will know more in the next day or so.” His injury should allow Brandon Saad to move back up in the Hawks lineup.
Gustavsson allowed three goals on 16 shots in the Red Wings 4-2 loss to the Flyers on October 25th. Detroit badly outplayed Philly, but The Monster could not close the door. He is 1-1-0 with a 1.45 GAA, .935 SV% and one shutout in two starts. He makes for an OK spot-start tonight, but he probably won't get too much goal support, Detroit is struggling to find twine.
Parise was injured in the third period, but head coach Mike Yeo would not reveal the seriousness of the injury, nor would he indicate whether Parise would travel with the team to Ottawa for the start of their road trip. Expect an update to come this afternoon.
Halak allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Islanders loss to the Sharks last Saturday. He has lost four in a row while giving up a total of 14 goals on 121 shots (.884 SV%). He will try to snap his losing skid tonight, but it won’t be easy as they take on the Ducks in Anaheim.
Sharp had his leg pinned between the boards and Canadiens' defenseman Alexei Emelin. Sharp stayed down for a few moments before he was helped off of the ice by trainers. He was not able to put any weight on a leg, which is not a good sign for the Hawks' star winger.
Tlusty was injured in the third period on a hit from Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnson. He had no points in 16:08 TOI. The Hurricanes have battled injuries in the early part of the season, so they are hoping that the Tlusty's injury is not serious.
