NHL Hockey Player News

Both players are unlikely to play the next two games. You might want to look for an alternative option for the rest of the week.

Doesn't sound like Kaleta is healthy enough to play. Despite his physical play, this hit-and-run artist has never topped 89 PIM.

Ennis practicing with a line is an indication he could be drawing back in soon. Through his first seven games prior to injury he failed to post a point.

All reports on Miller sounded positive and he could be able to return over the next couple of weeks.

Szczechura filled in for Patrick Kaleta last night and could be called back up if needed.

In 21 career starts against the Wild, Khabibulin holds a 5-12-4 record with a 2.56 GAA, .902 SV% and one shutout.

Mills cleared waivers and will now head back to the AHL. He holds no fantasy hockey value whatsoever.

The suspended winger has been replaced by John Mitchell and Carl Hagelin and is likely only a spare part now.

The fighter will need to get picked up and actually played to have any fantasy hockey value.

Over 29 career starts against the Leafs, Thomas holds a 17-6-5 record with a 2.78 GAA, .912 SV% and three shutouts.

Armstrong's return should add some depth to the team's forward lines. Look for Joey Crabb or Joe Colborne to draw out of the lineup when he does return.

Look for Brunnstrom to get a chance on the third line, in place of Patrick Eaves. He has one assist in his first four games with the Wings.

Emmerton took a knee-on-knee hit in his last game but has been practicing with the Wings. Expect Justin Abdelkader to continue centering the fourth line.

If you own Green, all you can do is wait for him to get back into practice. The elite defender has only played in eight of the team's 23 games.

Mikhail Grabovsky will continue to center the fourth line with Steckel sidelined. Unless your fantasy hockey league counts faceoff wins, he holds no value to your team.

Gunnarsson likely replaces Keith Aulie on the top defensive pairing. The Orebro, Sweden native posted six assists in his first 23 games this year.

Turris probably pushes Kyle Chipchura out of the lineup. The former 3rd overall pick will need to earn a promotion in this lineup that was working well without him.

In six career appearances against the Bruins, Gustavsson holds a 2-2-1 record with a 2.72 GAA, .909 SV% and one shutout.

Doesn't sound like Sjogren will be playing for the Caps, or in the NHL for that matter, this season.

Johansson likely won't miss any playing time after taking a shot to the hand. Expect him to get back onto the second line shortly.
