Voynov should assume Johnson's offensive minutes. Through 33 games, he scored four goals and 11 points.

Wellwood gets into his fifth game of the season. He previously scored a goal and three points over his first four.

Couturier is a late scratch due to a lower-body injury. The rookie scored 10 goals and 11 assists in 55 games.

Carter joins a team desperate for scoring. In an injury-marred, unhappy 39 games with the Blue Jackets, he scored 15 goals and 25 points.

Johnson gives the Blue Jackets more depth on the blue line. He scored eight goals and 24 points in 61 games with a minus-12 rating.

In nine career appearances against the Wild, Theodore has a 3-3-1-1 record with a 2.33 GAA, .914 SV% and one shutout.

The Blackhawks officially signed Hutton today. He will add depth to the team's goaltending stable.

Van Der Gulik scored a goal and six points in 25 games. Interesting to see if some desperate team makes a claim on him.

Barrie gets his second stint with the team. He was held without a point over four games.

Sounds like a foregone conclusion that Johnson will miss tomorrow's tilt. He's scored four goals and 23 points in 55 games.

Galiardi gets back into the lineup after missing a few games. In 54 games, the speedy forward scored eight goals and 14 points.

Varlamov won his only career start against the Blue Jackets, stopping 31 of 33 shots faced.

Byron scored three goals and five points in 22 games with the Flames. He has no fantasy hockey value while down in the minors.

Both players are ruled out for the remainder of the month. Blunden scored two goals and an assist in his first 28 games with the Habs.

Both players are ruled out for the remainder of the month. Through 48 games, Moen scored nine goals and 16 points.

Gionta had been previously ruled out for the season so we are guessing his presence on the road is for moral support. The team's captain scored eight goals and 15 points in 31 games.

With Anderson out, Lehner should be recalled. In fact, the young Swede likely sees a good deal of action should Andy miss significant playing time.

Sounds like Anderson will at least miss this weekend's festivities. Stay tuned for a further update on the Sens starting goalie.

Poulin heading back to the minors should indicate Evgeni Nabokov can at least backup tomorrow night.

Expect Hamonic to play in the top four against the Rangers. He has a goal and 12 points along with 57 PIM in 51 games.
