Pacioretty, who led the team in scoring in the regular season with 39 points, was a plus-1 with four shots on goal in 19:59 of ice time in the Canadiens' 4-2 loss in Game 1 Thursday.
Eller was removed from the ice on a stretcher during the second period of Game 1 of the Canadiens' Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series against the Ottawa Senators after he was hit by Ottawa's Eric Gryba. The team announced Thursday that Eller had been hospitalized after sustaining a concussion, facial fractures, loss of consciousness and had teeth knocked out after the hit and falling face-first to the ice.
Crawford played well in Game 1 allowing just one goal on 27 shots in the 2-1 Overtime win. The Blackhawks looked like the better of the two teams but Minnesota doesn't look like they're going to go down quietly.
Price allowed four goals on 31 shots including three goals in the third period in a 4-2, Game 1 loss to the Senators. The Canadiens will be without three key forwards tonight so Price needs to bring his 'A' Game.
Game 1 was a tough one for Nabokov. He allowed four goals on 15 shots before being pulled in favor of Kevin Poulin. It is not going to get any easier for Nabokov, because Sidney Crosby is back for Game 2.
Rask was not very busy in Game 1, he only faced 20 shots in the 4-1 win. The Bruins dominated Game 1 and will look to do the same in Game 2. Rask is a great playoff fantasy option because the Bruins have the talent to go deep.
Peverley had six goals and 12 assists in 47 games this year.
With Andrew Ference getting suspended in Game 1, Hamilton will enter the lineup in Game 2. Hamilton had five goals and 11 assists in 42 games in his rookie season.
DeKeyser was injured midway through the third period of the Red Wings' 5-4 overtime win over the Anaheim Ducks Thursday in Game 2 of their Western Conference quarterfinal playoff series. Ian White, Brian Lashoff, or Carlo Colaiacovo will move into DeKeyser's spot in the lineup.
It will be Crosby's first game since sustaining a broken jaw during a game March 30. During the team's morning skate Friday, Crosby took line rushes in his usual spot, centering a line with Chris Kunitz and Pascal Dupuis. He also worked on the team's top power-play unit.
Howard did not look as comfortable as he did down the stretch in Game 1. He still only allowed two goals on 26 shots. He will need to be stellar in the series if the Red Wings are going to win.
Luongo played well but allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Game 1 loss. He will start game 2 because Cory Schneider still is not ready to return. Luongo is not a bad option so Canucks fans should not panic.
This would be another big blow to the Penguins lineup. However it looks like Crosby will be back in tomorrow so I guess they can't have too much talent on the ice! That just wouldn't be fair.
It is possible that Schneider suffered a setback because he had skated the four days before today. There's no reason for the Canucks to panic, they still have Roberto Luongo who played very well in Game 1. He is no slouch, they will be fine without Schneider.
Babcock said the reason Samuelsson is possible for tonight is that someone is hurting and not be able to play.
The Red Wings were out-muscled in Game 1 which is likely why the veteran Todd Bertuzzi will enter the lineup tonight. However they will take out some muscle in Jordin Tootoo.
The Red Wings did not play well in Game 1 which could be credited to the Ducks strong forecheck. Hiller played very well and had his 'right-handed' glove on display all night. He stopped all but one of the 22 shots thrown his way. He and the Ducks will look to take a 2-0 lead to Detroit.
Aside from one terrible giveaway in overtime that cost the Kings Game 1, Quick played very well. It was a tight-to-the-vest defensive game which is what I expect most of the series to be like. Quick will look to redeem himself in Game 2 and tie the series up heading back to Los Angeles.
Justin Falk will likely play in Game 2 if Stoner can't go.
