Wellman gets the call after a strong showing with the Houston Aeros -- scoring 10 goals and five points. He may get a chance on a top line with Guillaume Latendresse sidelined with a concussion.

If you own Connolly, be sure to activate him soon, just not tonight. He scored a goal and four points through six games with his new team.
Sounds like Phaneuf simply took a maintenance day today and otherwise is OK. If you own the team's captain, start him with confidence.

In eight career starts against the Rangers, Nabokov holds a 5-3-0 record with a 2.35 GAA and .919 SV%.

Niederreiter is scheduled to make his 2011-2012 debut tonight. The Swiss winger scored three goals and four points over six games.

Skille is scheduled to miss tonight's game, creating a hole on a checking line. The gritty winger scored a goal and four points through his first 16 games.

Kennedy scored a goal and four points over eight games with the San Antonio Rampage prior to the callup. He figures to play tonight.
Jeffrey registered an assist with the Wilkes Barre/Scranton Pens through his two games down there. He should draw in tonight, possibly in place of Steve Sullivan.

In five career appearances against the Avs, Fleury holds a 3-1-0 record with a 2.77 GAA and .894 SV%.

Langkow remains out for personal reasons. With Langkow out expect Cal O;Reilly to continue centering the top line in Phoenix. Prior to his personal leave Mr. Chemistry scored three goals and eight points over 13 games.
Upshall has already missed a game with this undisclosed injury. In his first 15 games as a Panther, the former 6th overall pick scored a goal and three points while giving the team a gritty presence up front.

It's no big secret that Comeau is being shopped by the Isles but his trade value must be at an all-time low. Don't expect too much from the former 2nd rounder as he remains on the third line with no PP time.

The Blackhawks play the next six games on the road so Seabrook could miss anywhere between 1-to-6 games. The team's second most important defender has a goal and seven points through 18 games.

Yip could play in the next two games. The former collegiate standout scored 12 goals last season indicating he may have some fantasy hockey value in deeper leagues.
Mueller continues to skate but won't play in the team's next two games. He could possibly draw in at some point this week but likely would have travelled if that was a possibility.

Stay tuned for an update tomorrow on The Calgary Tower's status.
Cammy owners should keep him on the bench. The diminutive forward has been in and out of the lineup over the past few games indicating that he is not playing at full strength.

Keep Neil on your bench for now. The rugged right wing registered three goals and seven points over 16 games before the injury. Look for Erik Condra to continue taking his minutes on the third line.

Laakso's absence likely means Jack Hillen stays in the lineup for the foreseeable future. The Finnish Bulldozer failed to register a point in any of his nine games and holds no fantasy hockey value.
Martinez is a important puck-moving defenseman in Terry Murray's system. The Rochester Hills, Michigan scored only two goals through 16 games. Look for Slava Voynov to take his place on the blue line.
