Neither player is expected to play tonight. Wheeler suffered a scary neck incident yesterday and may miss a few games. The Robbinsdale, Minnesota native scored nine goals and 32 points in 44 games.
In six career starts against the Sens, Mason has a 2-4-0 record with a 2.90 GAA, .896 SV% and one shutout.
Based on today's morning skate, Sekera appears to be back in the lineup tonight. The Slovak defenseman scored two goals and eight points in 36 games before his current upper-body injury.
Not sure if it is an injury knocking him out of the lineup or if it is just a maintenance day. The undrafted forward scored seven goals and 29 points through 37 games before getting hurt. If he can't play, expect Zach Hamill to draw back in.
Winchester has been out since December 20th due to a concussion and is out indefinitely. He scored two goals and seven points while playing on the fourth line.
In 11 career appearances against the 'Jets', Andy has a 7-1-2 record with a 2.46 GAA and .932 SV%.
The team's captain and top line center registered nine goals and 33 points in 41 games before getting hurt. Expect Matt Cullen to take his place in the lineup.
The rookie Palmer just scored his first goal before getting concussed. He likely heads back to the minors when healthy.
Bouchard remains out indefinitely with a concussion. The skilled playmaker scored nine goals and 22 points in 37 games before getting hurt. He may be lost for the season.
None of the four players are expected to play any time soon. Latendresse last played on December 14th and scored five goals and nine points over 16 games.
Theodore remains a bit behind schedule on his knee injury. The starting goalie won't even backup Scott Clemmensen tonight which means he might not return this week.
In 11 career appearances against the Bruins, Clemmer has a 5-3-1 record with a 2.24 GAA, .929 SV% and two shutouts.
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 tomorrow's game. The second-generation forward scored 13 goals and 24 points before getting concussed.
Grabner moves back up to a scoring line. The Calder Trophy finalist has 13 goals and 20 points in 43 games and should pick up his scoring in the second half. Might be a good time to grab him if available.
Poulin has never faced the Predators.
In six career appearances against the Avs, Smith has a 4-1-1 record with a 1.56 GAA and .945 SV%.
At 36, Sykora isn't getting any younger. The crafty veteran has 10 goals and 23 points in 44 games.
In his first season with the Leafs, Connolly has seven goals and 22 points through 32 games. He most to the third scoring line, giving the team a few offensive options.
Looks like Bozak will get back into the lineup shortly. Bozak had been enjoying a bounce back season between Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul. The Regina, Saskatchewan native has seven goals and 25 points through 35 games.
