Toffoli got off to a hot start with four goals and four assists in his first seven games and 17 points (9G / 8A) 22 games. However he has failed to record a point in his last 11 games and now finds himself back in the AHL.
With Tomas Tatar in Slovakia because of his father's funeral, Jurco has been recalled and will play on Thursday. The 21-year-old recorded two goals and one assist in seven games with the Red Wings in late December. Jurco, the 35th pick overall in 2011, showed he has some promise and has played very well at the AHL level as well. He leads Grand Rapids with 32 points (13G / 19A) in 32 games.
Pageau has recorded two goals in 21 games for the Senators this season. His return to the minors suggests that Chris Neil is ready to return to the lineup after missing the last five games.
Johnson played just 12:45 before retiring to the dressing room for the night. Avalanche head coach Patrick Roy said that he "hopes that [Johnson] is day-to-day. We will provide an update as soon as there is word from the Avs medical staff.
With Brian Gibbons out for at least one week the Penguins had to move someone to Crosby's line, which we now know is Sutter. Sutter certainly gets a boost in fantasy value for the foreseeable future, he has 16 points (8G / 8A) in 47 games this season.
Neal missed the last two days of practice and was listed as questionable for tonight's game, but his presence at the morning skate is a good sign that he could be available tonight. We will get an official word following the a.m skate.
Lehtonen surrendered three goals on 34 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Rangers on Friday. He was given Sunday night off vs. the Islanders, but it appears that he will take on the Oilers tonight. He has had a lot of success vs. Edmonton this season going 1-0-1 with a 0.96 GAA and .963 SV%.
The Avalanche will have to play with only 17 players tonight vs. Chicago. Consider Sarich day-to-day.
Montreal will dress Francois Bouillon and go with seven defensemen against the Devils. Expect Danny Briere to play centre tonight with Desharnais out.
"There's not a chance in hell that I'm moving Jonas Hiller," Murray said on Tuesday evening. "I'm tired of hearing about the rumors. I can tell you Jonas is not going anywhere." With the Ducks in first place overall atop the NHL standings, it makes no sense to move the six-year veteran, despite the fact he's a pending unrestricted free agent. Hiller has won 14 straight starts and sits second in the NHL with 23 wins. With the Ducks having four NHL ready goalies, this may open the door for Viktor Fasth to be moved before the trade deadline.
Clarkson has not recorded a point in his last seven games and has just eight points (3G / 5A) in 34 games.
Thompson is listed as day-to-day, he is not fantasy relevant, he has nine points (3G / 6A) in 46 games.
Rask shut the door on all 26 shots that he faced in a 1-0 victory over the Sharks on Saturday. This is evidence that when an elite goalie like Rask is struggling, you can't panic and you run with your big guns. He had allowed 17 goals in his previous five starts, but that can be forgotten after a strong performance like he had on Saturday. Tonight he will face the Maple Leafs for the second time this season, he stopped 34 of 35 shots in a 3-1 win in November.
Rome has had a very difficult time staying healthy, but the Stars have some quality young defensemen that will step in while Rome is out.
Bowman did not practice this morning but could be available for the Hurricanes' contest on Saturday. He is not fantasy relevant, he averages just over 10 minutes a game and has just seven points (3G / 4A) in 42 games.
Dwyer did not practice this morning, but could still be available for the Hurricanes next game because they are off until Saturday. Despite averaging over 15 minutes a night this season, Dwyer has only 13 points (5G / 8A) in 43 games.
Varlamov stopped 25 of 27 shots in a win over the WIld on Saturday. The win was his 21st of the season which ties him with Carey Price for sixth in the NHL. Varly also ranks 16th in GAA (2.35) and 7th in SV% (.926). Tonight he takes on Chicago, he stopped 36 of 37 shots in a 5-1 win over the Hawks in their first meeting, he also stopped all 13 shots after replacing J.S Giguere in the third period of a 7-2 rout in late December. Overall he is 1-0-0 with a 0.75 GAA and .980 SV% vs. Chicago this season.
Hall was held out of practice on Monday and did not take part in this morning's optional skate, but he will play through his minor shoulder pain. He will skate on the top line with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Sam Gagner.
Ribeiro left Monday's game after playing just 10:01 and could be held out of tonight's game. Ribeiro currently ranks second on the team with 33 points (11G / 21A) in 45 games. Monitor his status in pre-game warmups.
Getzlaf's presence at practice is a good sign that he will be available for Wednesday's game against the Canucks. Getzlaf missed Sunday's game against the Red Wings but appears to be set to return tomorrow. Getzlaf is currently riding a four-game point streak (3G / 3A) and has totalled 53 points (23G / 30A) in 44 games. Monitor his status during Wednesday's morning skate.
