Kronwall had to have some dental work this morning, but says that he will be in the lineup. Despite what Kronwall said the Red Wings have recalled Xavier Ouellet in case he can't play.
Rome waivers could be just for options. If he clears, he has 10-game, 30-day window where he can be assigned. Gives extra forward option. Rome just returned to the Stars after missing the start of the season with a hip injury.
He is out indefinitely and a timetable will be announced once it's determined. As of now, the Wild says this is relatively good news because there was originally a concern he had a broken jaw. More after practice, but as of now, Matt Dumba has taken Brodin's spot on the No. 2 power-play unit
Talbot is 4-0-1 with a 2.49 GAA and .924 SV% in five appearances with Hartford (AHL) this season. If the Rangers were better offensively and defensively, he might make for a good spot start against the Flyers. However, he would be a risky option.
Cam Talbot will make his NHL debut and Jason Missaien will be recalled to backup. Lundqvist isn't expected to miss an extended period of time and is considered day-to-day.
Johnson went 2-0-2 with a 1.21 GAA and .954 SV% in four appearances with the Coyotes last season. For a bigger sample size he was 16-15-1 with a 3.00 GAA and .903 SV% with the Portland Pirates (AHL). He won't see a lot of starts behind the workhorse Tuukka Rask, but he could make for a solid spot start on a quiet night in the NHL vs. a 1-8-1 Sabres team.
It is unknown if Goigoski will stay at forward or what the Stars are doing. He has had a tough start to the season, failing to record a point with a minus-10 rating in eight games.
Nichushkin was practicing with Seguin and Benn yesterday, but that didn't last long. After a strong preseason, Nichushkin has struggled on the third line without a great supporting cast.
This is a positive sign that Letang could be in the lineup on Friday vs. the Islanders.
Anderson allowed two goals on 42 shots in a win over the Devils last Thursday. He has had six days off since his last start, so he should be fresh tonight vs. a good Red Wings squad. Ottawa has allowed a ton of shots this season and Anderson has done all he can posting a .924 SV% through six starts.
Zadorov was the 16th pick in this year's NHL Entry Draft, is a big, physical defenseman who loves to throw his weight around. The Sabres have nine-games to decide whether or not they want to keep Zadorov on the roster and burn the first year of his entry-level contract, or send him back to juniors. He had no points in 11:01 TOI in his NHL debut.
Helm is out for Saturday but expected to play on west Canada trip (Oct 30-Nov 4).
Hagelin has missed every game this season after offseason shoulder surgery. His return would help an injury depleted Rangers lineup. He is a speedy-winger who was very streaky last season but finished with 10 goals and 14 assists (24 points) in 48 games.
Wild head coach Mike Yeo said Brodin was taken to a hospital for X-rays, but the coach had no update on his condition. This is a tough break for the 20-year-old, who was off to a great start in his sophomore year. He has three goals and three assists (six points) in the Wild's first 10 games while averaging 25:46 TOI (before last night's 1:01).
This is usually an indicator that Hartnell will not play in tomorrow's game vs. New York. Consider him doubtful for Thursday, his next chance to return would be Saturday vs. the Islanders.
On Tuesday the Rangers said that Lundqvist was dealing with a minor-issue and is day-to-day. Continue to classify him as day-to-day and don't be surprised if Cam Talbot makes his NHL debut tomorrow while Lundqvist sits.
Nash will miss his fifth straight game tomorrow. There is still no timetable for his return, it is usually difficult to pinpoint an exact timeframe when it comes to concussions. Continue to monitor his status as he works back to health, he could be a buy-low candidate in the near future.
Kulemin has missed the Leafs last eight games, but is expected to return at the end of the month or in early November. The Maple Leafs lineup is getting stronger with the return of David Clarkson (suspension) and Kulemin's impending return.
The physical defenseman recorded no points in six games with the Habs.
Leivo will go back to the AHL because David Clarkson's 10 game suspension is over and he will return to the lineup on Friday.
