NHL Hockey Player News

Not the best news for the wounded pivot. We should have a further update tomorrow.

Carter is once again the team's third line center. He scored two goals and four points in 30 games with the Devils.

Volchenkov was at least expected to step back on the ice but was unable to do even that. A setback certainly is not out of the question. He registered five assists over 34 games.

Greene last played on December 6th. He has nine assists over 23 games.

Zajac has only played eight games this season, playing mostly on the third line. This recovery likely continues to drag out over the next month or two.

Halak is heating up at the right time. He might not be a bad addition if you find him on your waiver wire.

Both players skating on their own is certainly a step in the right direction. Skille scored two goals and six points in 31 games before getting sidelined.

Both players skating on their own is certainly a step in the right direction. Bergenheim scored seven goals in 26 games prior to getting hurt.

Either all three forward are scratched (unlikely) or Goc is ready to play against the Rangers tomorrow night. The German forward has only two goals through 17 games and remains out indefinitely.

Either all three forward are scratched (unlikely) or Samuelsson is ready to play against the Rangers tomorrow night. He has three assists in his first six games with the Panthers.

Madden should aide the team's injury-filled depth chart. He scored 12 goals and 25 points last season with the Minnesota Wild.

Stamkos still played over 20 minutes in the game and likely will grit through the bruise. If there is any further word on the injury, we will keep you updated.

Backstrom briefly returned to the game but was later removed from the game for precautionary measures. Before getting hurt, the talented playmaker registered three assists.

In four career starts against the Blues, Smith has a 2-2-0 record with a 3.46 GAA and .877 SV%.

With RNH out of the lineup, Gagner moves up to the top line for tonight's tilt. He has four goals and 16 points through 31 games.

Lander gets a crack at a scoring line. The rookie has a goal and three points in 34 games.

Expect Thompson to play on the fourth line tonight instead of Evan Oberg.

With Christopher Higgins healthy, Mancari became a healthy scratch. He has no value now in the minors.

Starting to look like Smith will start. He's been sidelined since December 20th with a lower-body injury.

With Smith activated from IR, McElhinney is expendable. He did well in his only start with the Coyotes, stopping 28 of 30 shots faced.
