Ellis only played one game during his call-up. He played 20:11, recorded no points and was a minus-1. He will return to the AHL where he has four goals and six assists in 24 games.
Rundblad has eight goals and 26 assists (34 points) in 44 games in the AHL this season. He has one assist and is a minus-5 in eight games with Phoenix this year.
Bolduc has 24 goals and 27 assists (51 points) in 56 games in the AHL. He hasn't recorded any points in seven games with the Coyotes in this season.
Lundqvist said he was dealing with a sore hamstring after last night's shootout loss to the Penguins. It sounds like his hamstring is fine, we'll have to wait and see if he starts.
Rask stopped all 40 shots that he faced in a 1-0 win over the Devils on Thursday. He will likely face the Habs for the fourth time this season. Rask was 1-1-1 with a 3.26 GAA and .867 SV% in his three previous starts vs. Montreal this season.
Bishop was fantastic in his first start as a member of the Tampa Bay Lightning. He stopped all 45 shots that he faced in a 5-0 win over the Hurricanes. After a start like that I think it is very safe to assume he will start again tonight. He has fairly good matchup vs. John Tavares and the Islanders.
Kelly has been out since March 11th with a leg injury. He won't play tonight, but could return Monday vs. Hurricanes.
Dalpe has earned two assists in seven NHL games this season with Carolina. The Paris, Ont., native ranks tied for second among Checkers skaters this season in goals (19) and third in points (38), appearing in 48 games on the AHL level.
Neal left yesterday's game after taking an elbow to the head from Rangers defenseman Michael Del-Zotto.
Smith missed the Coyotes last six games with an upper-body injury.

Hedman is dealing with a lower-body injury that he suffered on Thursday. The Lightning called up Matt Taormina yesterday, so he will enter the lineup if Hedman does not play.
The 22-year-old rookie will miss his second straight game with a wrist injury. He has two goals and nine assists in 34 games.
Plekanec skated this morning with the rest of the Canadiens which means he could play tonight. Monitor his status throughout the day.
Bergeron will miss his second straight game because of a concussion he suffered on Tuesday. He has a history of concussion's so he could miss an extended period of time. Tyler Seguin will continue to center the Bruins second line with Bergeron out.
Ellis has struggled in each of his two starts back from injury going 0-2-0 with a 5.68 GAA and .784 SV%. The Hurricanes are in big trouble after going 1-9-1 in their last 11 games and now sit 13th in the Eastern Conference, six points out of the playoffs. Ellis has a tough matchup vs. the new-look Rangers.
Markstrom has won three straight games with a 2.66 GAA and .925 SV%. In his only start vs. the Caps this season he allowed two goals on the first two shots and was pulled. He will look for a better result this time around, but the Capitals are one of the NHL's hottest teams right now. They have won six out of their last eight games.
Nabokov allowed just one goal on 22 shots in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Capitals on Thursday. He will face a Lightning team that he is 2-0-0 with a 1.50 GAA, .932 SV% and one shutout against this year.
After starting 10 straight games, Price was given the night off on Thursday. He will be back between the pipes tonight at home vs. the Bruins. Price is 0-1-0 with a 3.63 GAA and .878 SV% in two starts vs. Boston this season.
