Semin moves down to the second line with the recent line shuffle. He has 13 goals and 30 points through 48 games.

Brouwer moves back up to the top line. The power forward has 15 goals and 26 points in his first 52 games with the Caps.

Staal continues to skate which is a great sign. Limited to only 34 games this season, the former 2nd overall pick has 15 goals and 21 points on the season. His return would be a huge boost to the Pens' offense.

Despres could be due for a conditioning stint after not playing in a game for a few weeks.

Crosby took part in main practice this morning which is a great sign for the team. Expect him to return in a few weeks barring a setback.

Kennedy did not practice this morning and is unlikely to play Tuesday. The Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., native has six goals and 22 points in 42 games, playing mostly on the second line. Look for Colin McDonald to replace him in the lineup.

In four career starts against the 'Jets', Gustavsson has a 2-2-0 record with a 2.42 GAA, .897 SV% and one shutout.

Reimer faces the Oilers for the first time in his career. He is coming off consecutive shutouts.

Foligno drops down to the third line. He has 12 goals and 31 points through 55 games.

Greening moves back onto the top line. The speedy power forward is enjoying an excellent season with 12 goals and 27 points in 55 games.

Condra stays on a scoring line and should be productive with Alfredsson and Turris. He has seven goals and 19 points through 54 games.

Palushaj heads back to the AHL. The rookie has an assist in 17 games.

White hasn't played in a single game this season and needs some conditioning. Expect him to return within the next two weeks.

Sounds like Thompson is still banged up. The Anchorage, Alaska native has seven goals and 11 points through 45 games.

Hall continues to progress from his bicep injury. He has a goal and three points playing primarily on the fourth line.

Nash likely would be a healthy scratch so he returns to the AHL in order to stay fresh. Expect him to get another look shortly.

Prosser has been a reliable defender and produced six assists in 23 games. He probably stays with the team all season at this rate.

Ness should see some decent playing time due to the injuries. He has two goals and 17 points through 46 AHL games.

Reimer faces the Oilers for the first time in his career. He is coming off consecutive shutouts.

Getting Briere back into the lineup would be a big boost for the struggling Flyers. In the meantime, expect Max Talbot to remain in his place.
