NHL Hockey Player News

Stastny not practicing is likely a sign that he will not be able to play in the team's next game. The second-generation center has eight goals and 15 points in 27 games but has disappointed both fans and fantasy hockey owners.

Jones was moved to the fourth line after a few unsuccessful games on a scoring line. The streaky scorer last scored 11 games ago, playing alongside Paul Stastny. With the playmaking center injured, Jones' fantasy hockey value takes a hit.

Sounds like Wilson could be suffering from the dreaded 'C' word. The Windsor, Ontario native scored a goal and 14 points in 28 games while playing with Erik Johnson and seeing decent power play time. Expect a further word on his status.

The team's enforcer has been out since November 14th. Prior to getting hurt he fought four times in 17 games.

Leopold was only expected to miss last weekend but is unable to play tonight. The Golden Valley, Minnesota native scored five goals and four assists in 24 games prior to getting hurt. He can return to the lineup at any time.

Hackett could make his first NHL start tomorrow so stay tuned.

Powe moves back up to the third line after a brief stint on the fourth line. He has two goals and four points in 28 games.

Good news for both players. Expect them to return at some point during this calendar month.

Clutterbuck gets the promotion to the top line. He's certainly on his way to career highs with eight goals and 12 points through 24 games. Not a bad pickup in standard leagues.

Good news for both players. Expect them to return at some point during this calendar month.

Mitchell did not take part in line rushes but he could be able to play against the Wild. Stay tuned for a further update.

No real status update on Richards, which should continue to worry fantasy hockey owners. As soon as we know anything, we will update you.

No further update on the injury-prone winger. The Cobourg, Ontario native scored four goals and 17 points through 27 games. If he can't play, look for Dustin Penner to take his place on the top line.

With most of the team fully healthy it only makes sense to demote Grachev in order for him to get real playing time. The rookie posted two assists in 17 games with the Blues.

Not great news for fantasy hockey owners. Stay tuned for a further update on Sid the Kid.

Huselius was held scoreless over two games. Considering he probably misses another month, it may be time to drop the oft-injured forward.

Winchester adds some grit to the top line but doesn't have a high offensive ceiling. The Madison, Wisconsin hasn't put up a point in seven games.

Marleau was demoted to the third line and figures to stick there for at least another game. The former 2nd overall pick has 10 goals and 20 points through 24 games but hasn't posted a point in his last four games.

Gillies likely slots in on the bottom line, where he posted two assists in 25 games.

Sounds very probable that Backstrom will start tomorrow's game. Stay tuned for a further update.
