Hamrlik is the first victim of the new regime. He has a team-low minus-10 rating with only one goal in 23 games.
Powe is more likely to play but still is doubtful. Look for Cody Almond to take his place in the lineup.
Clutterbuck took a nasty knee-on-knee hit from Ryan Whitney yesterday and probably misses a few games. Look for Casey Wellman to play in his place.
Wellman finally gets a crack at a scoring line. Considering his track record in the AHL, the former collegiate standout could fill the net.
JVR is not expected to play for at least another week but it remains a positive sign to see him on the ice.
Markov did not travel to San Jose and will not play tonight. The oft-injured defenseman is in Los Angeles and questionable to play against the Kings on Saturday.
In nine career starts against the Canucks, Rinne is 4-5-0 with a 2.31 GAA, .929 SV% and one shutout.
Kostitsyn will miss his fifth game this season. Since returning from his first injury, the scoring winger only registered three assists in 11 games. Even worse, those three assists were all over one game.
Superstar Bobby Ryan will not be traded and has been reunited with his normal linemates. Expect a boost from hiring new coach Bruce Boudreau.
Rome draws back into the lineup after a brief stint on the sidelines. Prior to getting hurt, he was quite useful in fantasy hockey with three goals, five points and 21 PIM in seven games. He likely slots right back onto the power play.
Kearns holds no fantasy hockey value as a career minor leaguer.
Salo has five goals and 13 points in 21 games, playing on the top pairing and top power play unit. Owning him comes with its benefits but he remains one of the most injury-prone defensemen in the League.
In 10 career starts against the Wild, Brodeur holds a 7-1-2 record with a 2.23 GAA, .925 SV% and one shutout.
Greene practiced with his usual partner Larsson and probably will be healthy enough to play. Battling through bumps and bruises, Greene has registered eight assists over 20 games.
Geoffrion will miss at least a week with what could be a concussion.
Laakso has disappointed so far with no points through nine games. He may get scooped up as teams look for help on their blue line.
In two career starts against the Blackhawks, Elliott holds a 1-0-1 record with a 1.44 GAA and .946 SV%.
In four career starts against the Avs, Halak holds a 2-2-0 record with a 3.28 GAA and .900 SV%.
Hall was back at practice just days after the injury and is certainly ahead of schedule. Check back for a further update on the former 1st overall pick.
Cowen gets his first crack at the power play as he earns more minutes. The rookie has two goals through 24 games -- none of which were on the PP.
