ST. LOUIS -- Detroit Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall left Tuesday's game after being checked from behind head-first into the boards by St. Louis forward Chris Stewart.
Kronwall laid motionless on the ice for a few seconds before behind helped off by the trainer. No word yet on his condition.
Kronwall was already less than 100 percent before the injury and figures to miss some playing time, The Stockholm, Sweden native scored four goals and seven points prior to getting hurt.
Cold Streak
#CBJ captain Rick Nash has no goals and a minus-9 rating in his past five games. Game-high six shots tonight.
Might be a good idea to buy low on Nash.
Hot Streak
#Pens Marc Andre Fleury 7-0-1 in his last 8 starts. During that span, he has stopped 202 of 214 shots.
Fleury may be in the running for the Vezina Trophy this season as he continues to surge.
Line Change
“Almost,” Kovalchuk said in the press box when I asked him later about playing tonight. He said it was Pete DeBoer’s decision to hold him out and that he “probably” will play Wednesday in Buffalo.
Check back for an update prior to Wednesday night's game against the Sabres.

The Ducks have recalled defenseman Nate Guenin and left wing Jean-Francois Jacques from the Syracuse Crunch, Anaheim’s primary development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL).
Guenin figures to serve as a depth defenseman for the Ducks with no fantasy hockey value.

The Ducks have recalled defenseman Nate Guenin and left wing Jean-Francois Jacques from the Syracuse Crunch, Anaheim’s primary development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL).
Jacques scored four goals and eight points through 10 games with the Syracuse Crunch and figures to play on a bottom line.
Goalie Start
Corey Crawford will start in net for Chicago
In two career regular season starts, Crawford holds a 1-1-0 record with a 3.50 GAA and .894 SV%.
Joining him on the sidelines will be forward Jim Slater.
It’s unclear whether either Bogosian or Slater will be available for the Jets’ next game, here against the Washington Capitals, Thursday.
Slater has already scored five goals, matching his goal totals of last season. His production is more telling of the state of the Jets offense opposed to the former 30th overall pick breaking out.
Zach Bogosian, one of Winnipeg’s ice-time leaders, will miss Tuesday evening’s team skills competition with an undisclosed injury.
Bogosian could miss Thursday's game against the Washington Captials. The former 3rd overall pick scored five assists through 18 games prior to the injury.
Goalie Start
Thomas and Hedberg lead their teams out. #Bruins #Devils
In 17 appearances against the Devils, Thomas is 7-5-3 with a 2.18 GAA, .928 SV% and 2 shutouts

MONTREAL - The Montreal Canadiens announced Tuesday that defenseman Frédéric St-Denis has been recalled from the AHL Hamilton Bulldogs.
The 25-year old defenseman ranks tied for second on the Bulldogs and tied for 11th among AHL defensemen with eight points (3 goals and 5 assists) in 14 games this season. St-Denis scored two of his goals on the powerplay and added 19 shots on goal. [MontrealCanadiens.com]
Defenseman Brent Seabrook is not out there.
Seabrook likely does not play tomorrow but we don't know for sure. Stay tuned for a further status update.
Injury
#Blackhawks center Dave Bolland is favoring his injured right foot during practice in Vancouver. Not a slam-dunk he'll return tomorrow.
Doesn't sound like Bolland will return tomorrow. Stay tuned for more status updates on the gritty center.
Line Change
Milan Jurcina in for Mark Eaton on D.
Jurcina draws back in for the Isles. He has one assist over five games this season.
Hot Streak
#Coyotes right wing Radim Vrbata has notched five goals and five assists over the past seven games, including two game-winning goals.
Vrbata is owned in only 33 percent of Yahoo! leagues.
Line Change
Jack Capuano said #isles lineup is game-time decision, but it looks like Niederreiter is in and Okposo is the scratch #Isles
Okposo has only three assists through 14 games, playing primarily on the third line. He certainly needs to take a seat following such a poor effort.
Injury
Dan Ellis left practice early to nurse a sore groin.
No word on whether he is healthy enough to play/backup tomorrow against the Kings. Considering he left the ice early, he probably allows Hiller to start yet again.

What are the latest updates on NHL player suspensions or disciplinary actions?
Already this season we’ve seen the hammer brought down by the NHL Department of Player Safety. Notable suspensions and fines include Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs who was given a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head against the Edmonton Oilers, and Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot who was dealt a three-game suspension, also for an illegal hit to the head.
In the 2023-24 season, there were a total of 14 suspensions and 17 fines issued throughout the NHL. The longest suspension served was dealt to former-Detroit Red Wing David Perron at six-games after a cross-checking penalty dealt ironically against his current team in the 2024-25 season, the Ottawa Senators. Additionally, Perron was fined $148,437.48 for his actions.
How are NHL player performances impacting fantasy hockey?
NHL player performances make a direct impact on the outcome of any fantasy hockey matchup. Staying up to date with the latest news and performances of your team’s players can be the difference between winning and losing.
