Sidelined since January 20th with an upper-body injury, Nokelainen has a goal and three points in 36 games with the Habs.

Good sign to see Weber back on the ice. The Swiss d-man has four goals and 15 points in 43 games. Look for Rafael Diaz to stay in the lineup.

Foucault could fill in for a banged up Cal Clutterbuck. In 47 AHL games, he scored 10 goals and 23 points.

In nine games with the Houston Aeros of the AHL, Scandella scored two goals and five points. Expect him to get a look in all situations with the big club.

Sutton re-signs with the Oilers -- a team that craves his physical presence. In the 33 games he hasn't been suspended this season, the 6'6" blue-liner registered three goals and six points.

Schultz plays a defensive role with the Hamilton Bulldogs, scoring three goals and 13 points through 35 games. Look for him to play a similar role with the Habs.

White tore up the AHL over four games. Expect him to add some life to the Habs' lineup.

Vandermeer gets back in the lineup but will dress as a forward. He has three assists through 14 games.

Sounds like he will miss a good deal of playing time. Garrison has 13 goals and 23 points in 53 games.

Vokoun led the Capitals onto the ice this afternoon but was too sick to play, becoming a late scratch. He should be available for the Caps' next game.

Gagne's timeline remains indefinite but he certainly took the first step towards recovery by getting back on the ice. In 34 games in Los Angeles, he scored seven goals and 17 points. His sniping abilities are severely missed by the low-scoring Kings.
