The Winkler native is sure to be pumped about his hometown debut. As a former 21-goal scorer so he holds fringe fantasy hockey value.

If you were considering playing Westgarth to stream PIM, bench him for tonight's game.
Not a good sign for the team's number one defender. Prior to getting hurt his six assists and points led all of the team's defensemen. Check back for a further update and keep him out of your lineup.

Ott draws back in on a different line after missing six games. Prior to getting hurt he scored two goals and eight points over 11 games. His eventual return to the lineup should help soften the loss of defenseman Alex Goligoski and Adam Burish.

Barch could draw out in favor of Tom Wandell. Check back to see his status for Friday's game.

Losing Burish is a big blow to the banged-up Stars. Prior to going down he scored three goals and eight points over 16 games with a very healthy 32 PIM.

Rozsival is out indefinitely and should be dropped in any format of fantasy hockey.

Make note that Langkow will miss the next three tilts. Prior to his personal leave Mr. Chemistry scored three goals and eight points over 13 games.
Garrison plays on the second power play unit and is only owned in 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Samuelsson could play within the next week for the banged-up Panthers. He scored a goal and three points through six games with the Canucks but was playing at a much slower pace.
Bradley is expected to miss significant time with his upper-body injury eliminating whatever bleak fantasy hockey value he had. The fourth liner registered a goal and an assist through his first 17 games with the Cats.
Skille gets back into the lineup after missing a game. The gritty winger scored a goal and four points over his first 16 games this season.

Certainly a step in the right direction for Ennis, who will have trouble regaining his skating stride due to a high ankle injury. Prior to the injury he was held scoreless over seven games.

Lack will serve as Cory Schneider's backup tonight and likely won't play during his stint in the NHL.

If you own Crosby, make sure to keep him on your IR for the time being.

Losing Grabovski certainly hurts the team depth down the middle. Prior to getting hurt the Bellarussian scored five goals and 10 points. Expect Tim Connolly to take most of his offensive minutes.

In 20 career starts against the Canadiens, Ward holds a 12-6-2 record with a 2.70 GAA and .914 SV%.

Paille could draw in following his nasty facial injury. The energy player scored two goals through 13 games prior to getting hurt.

Sounds like Ference will miss his third consecutive game tonight. Prior to this lower-body injury he posted five assists over 14 games. Expect Steve Kampfer to stay in the lineup.

Maxwell holds no fantasy hockey value with two career points over 36 NHL games.
