Bogosian played just 12:32 before departing for the dressing room for the night. The Jets have not announced what Bogosian is dealing with, but recalled Julian Melchiori in case Bogosian can not play tomorrow. Consider him day-to-day and questionable for Sunday.
Bodie recorded two assists in nine games, he will likely be the first player recalled when the Leafs need forward depth.
If his leg responds well an aggressive re-hab will lead to a quick recovery. However, still no timetable set for his return.
Melchiori has played in 14 games with the IceCaps so far this season. In that time, he has recorded four assists and 14 penalty minutes. The 21-year-old has played in 67 career AHL games, all with St. John’s, for 12 career points (1G / 11A) and 53 career penalty minutes.
Ryan left Friday's contest late in the third period after taking an elbow to the head from Dennis Seidenberg and did not return. Being on the ice this morning is a positive sign that Ryan did not sustain a concussion or any other serious injury that would require him to miss an extended period of time. Ryan will likely be in the lineup on Sunday vs. Columbus.
Nash has now skated for eight straight days as he works back from a concussion he suffered in the third game of the season. Nash said yesterday that he feels good and that his hands are there, he just needs to get his legs back up to speed. It is highly unlikely that he plays tonight or tomorrow, but Tuesday vs. Boston seems possible at this point.
Alfredsson was a late scratch on Friday, he was likely injured in warmups. Monitor his status closer to puck-drop, if he can't go, Luke Glendening will suit up after being recalled this morning.
Vanek will miss his fourth straight game tonight. The Islanders as 1-2-0 without him in the lineup. His next chance to get into the lineup will be Tuesday vs. Toronto.
It was the first time Clowe has skated since suffering a concussion on October 12. There is still no timetable for his return, but returning to the ice is a big step in what has been slow progress so far. The Devils could use Clowe in the lineup after scoring just 38 goals in the first 19 games.
Staubitz will head to the Toronto Marlies (AHL) and is not a fantasy relevant forward .
Blacker was the 58th overall pick in the 2009 NHL Draft. The 22-year-old defenseman has six goals and 28 points in 125 games with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) over the last three seasons.
Holland was the 15th overall pick in the 2009 NHL Draft. He is a skilled offensive centre that will address the need for a centre on an injury riddled Maple Leafs roster. Holland will fly to Toronto immediately and is expected to be in the lineup tonight. The third round pick becomes a second if Holland plays 25 games with the Maple Leafs. He has one goal in four games this season.
Nabokov allowed four goals on 28 shots in a loss to the Blue Jackets on November 9. He has struggled lately and yielded some starts to Kevin Poulin. Nabby will face a Red Wings team who have lost five straight, four straight in OT or the shootout.
Merrill skated for the first time on Friday and is back at it today. He was injured after playing just 1:16 in his first NHL game on November 3. He needs to be cleared for contact before a clear timetable is established for Merrill.
Vanek missed the last three games but is expected to suit up tonight. Since coming over from the Sabres, Vanek has one goal and two assists in six games. He will rejoin Kyle Okposo and John Tavares on the first line where he should be able to produce consistently.
Brodeur allowed two goals on 35 shots in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday. He has won three straight starts and five of his last six, moving him to 5-3-2 after a slow start. Broduer has a tough matchup vs the Penguins tonight, but he is 2-1-1 with a 1.23 GAA and .937 SV% at home this season.
Bernier took the loss last night to the Leafs in Buffalo so Reimer gets a shot back home. Until we see more than one game out of the Sabres, Reimer vs. Buffalo is a solid start.
Backstrom was injured in a collision with Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri on Wednesday. Kadri was suspended for three games because of the hit. “I wouldn’t say Backy’s day-to-day because you never know with concussions, so we’ll have to evaluate how Nik’s doing,” GM Chuck Fletcher said Friday morning. “If it’s going to be longer-term, we’ll have to look at doing something. If it’s shorter-term, we’re confident with the guys we have. But ultimately we need Darcy Kuemper and Johan Gustafsson developing in Iowa and not spending the whole year up here.”
Hutton came in relief for Mazanec in Friday's loss and turned away all shots. Given how Mazanec started, Hutton is likely to get the nod but you should only use him in complete desperation.
Forsberg should not be owned in any yearly fantasy leagues.
