Fedun has one goal and three assists in 12 games with the Barons. With Justin Schultz and Anton Belov out with injuries, Fedun will make his NHL debut tonight vs. Florida.
Dubnyk missed the Oilers last three games with an ankle injury, but will be back in the cage tonight vs. Florida. He had a tough October going 2-5-1 with a 4.01 GAA and .878 SV%. Hopefully November is better to Dubnyk, who starts the month with an easy matchup vs. the Panthers.
Kane missed practice on Sunday and Monday's gameday skate. He was questionable and a game-time decision, but it appears he is out. Anthony Peluso is in.
The Sharks have been vague when it comes to the details of Burns’ injury. “Getting closer, from what I’ve been told,” Todd McLellan said on Monday. “He’s welcome back any time, obviously. We’d love to have him back with our team. From my understanding, he’s getting closer.” Could Burns return to practice this week? "I don’t have that. He and the trainers and the doctors know when that will happen,” McLellan said.
Morrow was already ruled out for tomorrow's contest with the Canadiens, but if this IR move is retroactive to last Wednesday (he was injured in practice) then he would be eligible to return on Thursday vs. Calgary.
Booth has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury, but his designation to the AHL is a good sign that he is nearing a return to the Canucks lineup.
Collins has two goals and four assists in nine games with Springfield. He failed to register a point in his only appearance with the Blue Jackets this season.
"He's seeing a neurologist today to see exactly where he's at," general manager Lou Lamoriello said. "He came back with us. He was certainly okay to travel. It is not something that is interpreted immediately as anything long term, but he's got to be 100 percent right. He got quite a jolt there and quite a cut." There are no plans to send Merrill back to Albany (AHL) while he is still ailing.
Burns was wearing pads for the first time today, but he continues to skate alone and not with the Sharks. The fact that he didn't skate with his teammates today suggests he won't be in the lineup tomorrow or this week. If you are in a weekly league I think it would be wise to keep Burns on the bench again this week.
Hunwick cleared waivers back on October 12 and played five games with Lake Erie (AHL), registering two assists.
Patrick Roy was not impressed with Barrie's start to the season and had him as a healthy scratch for eight of the Avs' last nine games. He will head to Lake Erie (AHL) where he will likely see a ton of ice-time which will help him develop a lot better than sitting on a nightly basis.
McGinn missed the Avs' last three games after starting the season with three goals and two assists in 10 games. This is perfect timing for Colorado who just lost Alex Tanguay for two weeks because of a knee injury.
Tanguay left Saturday's game and did not return and will now miss at least two weeks. This is a tough break for the Avs' veteran who has nine points (3G / 6A) in 13 games. Fortunately for Colorado they will be getting Jamie McGinn back just as Tanguay leaves the lineup.
Belov will join Justin Schultz in the press box tomorrow when the Oilers take on the Panthers. With two defenseman out, someone will be called up from Oklahoma City (AHL). Belov has three assists and a minus-5 rating in 15 games.
Schultz missed Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Red Wings and won't be able to go tomorrow vs. Florida. He has one goal and sex assists with a minus-10 rating through 14 games. Monitor his status before Thursday's matchup with Tampa Bay.
Booth has missed five of the last six games with a lower-body injury. A week ago he was reported to be out 1-2 weeks, so there is a chance he could play tomorrow vs. Phoenix.
Smyth has missed the last six games after scoring three times and adding an assist in his first eight games. He was skating on Edmonton's second line with Sam Gagner and Nail Yakupov. Monitor the veteran's status tomorrow.
Gaudet, 20, is currently a member of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the Ontario Hockey League. He has 10 goals and 12 assists in 16 games in his second OHL season. Gaudet is expected to finish out the season with Sault Ste. Marie and then turn pro and join the Portland Pirates (AHL).
Neal has missed the last 14 games, and remains week-to-week. However Neal's on-ice participation and workouts are expected to increase this week.
Morrow will miss his third straight game on Tuesday. He will stay in St. Louis where the Blues take on the Flames on Thursday, consider him questionable for that contest.
