Huskins continues to progress from his ankle injury. He scored two goals and four points through nine games but should have a problem re-entering the lineup.
Russell has been out since December 27th due to a groin injury. When he returns, he will have to fight for playing time with Ian Cole and Kent Huskins.
The Blues still have not decided whether they will use Jackman tomorrow night against the Wild. Although he does not fill the net, his crease-clearing presence certainly makes a difference in keeping pucks out of the net.
Steen continues to progress from his current concussion but won't play tomorrow night. Sidelined since December 27th with a concussion, the Winnipeg native has 13 goals and 24 points on the season.
In five career starts against the Wild, Halak has a a 0-2-3 record with a 2.77 GAA and .902 SV%.
Great news for everyone invested in the star center. His 40 points in 44 games lead all Kings players by a healthy margin. Expect him to continue centering the top line.
Commodore has been switching on and off with Jakub Kindl on the third pairing. He has an assist over 10 games.
Hard to imagine Green's value taking any bigger of a hit. The Caps still play 33 games from February 1st on so Green, if healthy, could play at most a half of the season.
In four career starts against the Coyotes, Sanford has a 1-3-0 record with a 3.28 GAA and .884 SV%.
Expecting Carter to play again this month would definitely be a stretch. The team's top line center scored 10 goals and 17 points in 30 games with the club before getting hurt. Temper your expectations of him getting back to an elite level this season.
Green will serve as the fourth line LW tonight. He has no points through three games.
With Smithson out, expect to see either Brian McGrattan or Jack Hillen in the lineup. He has a goal and four points through 41 games, primarily serving as the team's fourth line center.
O'Reilly can be reassigned to the AHL but probably serves as a spare forward with the Coyotes. He has two goals and five points through his first 21 games in the desert.
Minard has yet to play a game this season so it is likely just a paper move.
Dubinsky was unable to make it through practice which certainly hurts his chances of playing this weekend. After signing a lucrative deal this offseason, the left wing scored five goals and 21 points through 40 games. If healthy, he likely will improve on those totals in the second half.
Bertuzzi was a late scratch in last night's tilt but is not expected to miss a significant amount of playing time. He has six goals and 18 points through 36 games.
The talented rookie has two assists in his two games with the Coyotes but coach Dave Tippett must feel he needs more time in the minors.
Look for Stapleton to get back into the lineup tomorrow night. He scored six goals and 13 points over his first 33 games in Winnipeg.
Miettinen's presence on the checking line could be a sign he will be a healthy scratch. The Finnish winger has two assists in 11 games with the Jets.
Byfuglien continues to stay out of practice and remains out indefinitely. The team's lone All-Star scored six goals and 24 points in 35 games before getting hurt.
