Probably safe to drop Latendresse as he will be sidelined indefinitely. The power forward scored five goals and nine points and was only in his second game back.
DiPi can come off IR at any time but has no fantasy hockey value until healthy.
Staios added a veteran presence and depth to the Isles blue line but was likely past his glory days. With five assists in 28 games he has no fantasy hockey value.
Nash has played through maintenance days in the past so expect the captain to grit it out tonight. The Brampton, Ontario native scored nine goals and 21 points through 30 games with an awful minus-16 rating.
Flyers are taking a wait-and-see approach with their young superstar. Prepare for the worst, fantasy hockey owners.
Peters likely draws in on the fourth line and has no fantasy hockey value.
Cullen has recovered from the flu and is expected to play tonight. The Virginia, Minnesota native has eight goals and 17 points in 30 games centering the second line and second power play unit.
Wellman has two goals and four points while playing on the second and fourth lines. If you own him, bench him tonight.
Palmieri was a healthy scratch yesterday with most of the team healthy. With Travis Zajac expected to return, Palmieri has no place to play.
Zanon is a tough, rugged defender but has no fantasy hockey value. The shot blocker has one goal on the season.
As expected, Bouchard won't play tonight after getting a nasty hit from Zach Bogosian last night. Butch has five goals and 18 points in 29 games before getting hurt. Expect this absence to be precautionary.
Schenn practiced on the fourth line this morning and could be ready to return to the lineup. The former fifth overall pick has no points through six games with a minus-6 rating.
Yip has no points in nine games and holds no fantasy hockey value at this time.
In seven career starts against the Blue Jackets, Halak has a 4-2-1 record with a 2.78 GAA and .899 SV%.
With Matt D'Agostini questionable for Thursday's game, Grachev could get a chance at playing on a scoring line. If not, expect him to replace Ryan Reaves or Chris Porter in the lineup.
In nine career starts against the Preds, Halak is 6-2-1 with a 1.85 GAA, .926 SV% and three shutouts.
As expected, Chara will not play tonight. Make sure the big man remains on your bench for the time being.
With Campbell out, expect Zach Hamill to remain the team's fourth line center. Campbell is a tough kid but his qualities don't translate to fantasy hockey. He has two goals and eight points through 28 games.
In 30 career starts against the Sens, Thomas has a 20-8-2 record with a 1.95 GAA, .936 SV% and six shutouts.
Pronger remains out indefinitely and far from getting back onto the ice. The team's captain has been sidelined since November 19th and should remain on IR for the time being.
