Galchenyuk had been struggling lately, posting just one goal and one assist in his last 10 games. This is still a bad break for the Habs who's depth will be tested. Galchenyuk is expected to be back in the middle of February.
This is a bad break for the Sharks, but it was revealed that Couture had been playing with the injury for a while now. It didn't appear to hurt his play too much as he was riding a five-game point streak (4G / 1A) after Monday. He was not selected to Team Canada.
Nabokov left the game 12:54 into the first period and was replaced by Kevin Poulin. He just returned 11 games ago from a groin injury that cost him 12 games, so the first concern is that he re-aggravated that injury.
The Islanders will miss Okposo and his 42 points, but the return of Josh Bailey should ease some of that loss. Okposo could be back in the lineup tomorrow night vs. the Maple Leafs.

Bishop definitely won't play tomorrow, doesn't think it's serious but taking it day by day right now. Expect Cedrick Desjardins to be recalled to backup Anders Lindback on Tuesday.
