Expect Murphy to backup Justin Peters with Cam Ward day-to-day.
NHL Hockey Player News
Bishop heads back to the AHL with Jaroslav Halak. If traded, the big starting goalie could fill right into an NHL team.

Bradley is a tough player so this injury must be serious. He has three goals and eight points in 44 games.
Staal is finally living up to his billing under coach Kirk Muller. The captain now has 16 goals and 46 points in 59 games.

Tlusty now has career highs across the board with 14 goals and 25 points on the season. Considering he received first line minutes, this production may not be shortlived.

Boucher has been practicing for a few weeks now so his return should come shortly. It will be interesting to see what the club does with its three goalies.
In two career starts against the Caps, Peters is 1-1-0 with a 2.94 GAA and .909 SV%.

Ward has a minor groin tweak which may keep him out of the crease tonight.

Sounds like Khabibulin will miss a game or two due to this groin strain.
In two career starts against the Sens, Poulin has a 1-0-0 record with a 3.36 GAA and .881 SV%.

Nabokov, age 36, probably needs a practice or two before returning to the crease. Safe to say he misses tomorrow's matinee.

Fisher could miss more than a game due to his sudden illness. The two-way center scored 17 goals and 34 points in 50 games.

In 11 career starts against the Habs, Lehtonen has a 6-4-1 record with a 2.68 GAA, .912 SV% and one shutout.

Morrow will miss at least another 10 days. While battling through injuries most of the season, the left wing has eight goals and 22 points in 43 games. Tomas Vincour has moved into the top-six in his stead.

Souray remains day-to-day with his foot injury. The veteran defender has been limited to only 46 games -- due to various injuries -- but has made the most of it with five goals and 18 points. Look for Mark Fistric to stay in.
Benn will miss his third consecutive game. However, travelling with the team indicates he should draw in shortly. The top line center scored 17 goals and 49 points through 51 games.

Bradley is a tough player so this injury must be serious. He has three goals and eight points in 44 games.
Wisniewski is a late scratch after taking warmups. The offensive defender has four goals and 21 points in 32 games.

Sounds like Hagman is OK. Through 40 games with the Ducks, the winger has seven goals and 14 points.
Nice signing by the Wild, locking up one of their better offensive players. In 58 games, the center/winger scored 15 goals and 29 points.
