Sturm needs at least one more week before returning to the lineup. The veteran scored two goals and three points in 27 games with the Cats before getting hurt.
In 11 career appearances against the Avs, Theodore has a 3-5-1 record with a 2.85 GAA and .902 SV%.
Ellerby should play on the third pairing this week. He has two assists in 15 games.
Jovo Cop was in a fight with Daniel Paille last night and may have hurt his hand then. The veteran defender has two goals and eight points in 43 games. Expect Keaton Ellerby to draw in for him.
Corrente is currently down in Albany and figures to stay there until healthy and productive.
In seven career appearances against the Flames, Niemi has a 6-1-0 record with a 2.62 GAA and .890 SV%.
As expected, nothing to worry about with regards to the Kings' #1 centre. Kopitar currently leads the team in scoring with 14 goals and 42 points in 46 games.
Salo hasn't played since taking the clipping penalty from Brad Marchand. The veteran has six goals and 16 points through 38 games but remains out indefinitely.
In his first 12 games with the Canucks, Sulzer has one assist. He has no fantasy hockey value at this point in his career.
Alberts will play on the third pairing tonight. The hulking defender has no fantasy hockey value.
With the Blues blue line mostly healthy, Russell will likely shuffle in and out of the lineup. He has three goals and five points since coming to St. Louis.
Steen remains day-to-day and is a possibility for Thursday's game. The second-generation forward scored 13 goals and 24 points before getting concussed.
In five career starts against the Oilers, Halak has a 3-1-1 record with a 2.57 GAA, .896 SV% and one shutout.
Plante is now fully healthy and will return to the AHL. He is likely the first re-call from the minors.
Clowe scored nine goals and 26 points through 42 games before getting hurt. This injury may be related to his recent head injury.
Havlat is still on crutches which is a far cry away from getting back on the ice. Don't expect the oft-injured forward to play any time soon.
Desjardins won't play tonight but getting back on the ice is a good sign for the fourth line center. He was injured on an illegal hit by Columbus Blue Jackets forward Dane Byers.
McLaren will play tonight and may be a decent PIM stream. He has nine PIM in five games played.
Marleau takes Ryane Clowe's spot on the second line for tonight's game. The Aneroid, Saskatchewan potted 17 goals and 36 points over 42 games this season. His fantasy hockey value remains untouched.
With Ryane Clowe injures, Jamie McGinn moves from the third line to the first. The gritty winger scored nine goals and 16 points through 42 games.
