If you own Schenn, check back in a few weeks for his return date. Schenn only played four games in which he registered no points and a minus-5 rating. He may be due for some more growing pains as he acclimates to the NHL.
Expect Pronger to return tonight and lead the blue line from the top pairing. The team's captain scored a goal and seven points through eight games before missing the past six games.
In nine career starts against the Rangers, Andy holds a 6-2-1 record with a 1.95 GAA, .940 SV% and one shutout.
Should Gustasson be healthy enough he would replace Andreas Lilja on the third defensive pairing. Sounds like he is day-to-day for the time being. Keep him on the bench if you own him.
Sounds like his absence from practice yesterday was just a maintenance day. Feel free to start him with confidence.
As a fourth liner center, Fraser holds no fantasy hockey value.
Parse was jumping between the second and third lines in the seasons early going but once again loses playing time due to injury. The oft-injured winger has two goals through nine games this season.
The super-talented defender is still looking for his first NHL goal. Through 11 games he has three assists.
Certainly good news for Alfie, who was feared to be out indefinitely. The Sens captain looked much healthier than last year with four goals through 10 games; he only scored 14 through 54 last season.
Stralman probably gets into a game at some point next week after practicing and watching the team from the press box. He may add some value to the team's power play.
With Rupp out, look for minor league vet Andre Deveaux to stay with the team. Rupp had one goal on the season playing on the fourth line and acting as the team enforcer.
In 24 career appearances against the Sens, Lundqvist holds a 10-11-2 record with a 2.01 GAA, .932 SV% and one shutout.
Expect him to make at least one rehab start before getting called back up. In the meantime, it looks like Steve Mason will start every game for the Blue Jackets.
Hold your horses on activating Carter as he may have suffered some sort of setback. Stay tuned for a further update.
Coburn helps the Flyers prevent goals making this signing understandable. He has three assists through 14 games.
Hanzal getting back onto the ice is a step in the right direction as he aims for a return tomorrow night. Hanzal has three goals and 10 points through his first 11 tilts this season -- good for third on the team. Both Boyd Gordon and Patrick O'Sullivan have benefited from his absence.
Reimer remains no closer to returning to his concussion as he remains sidelined indefinitely. His statistics -- 2.58 GAA and .912 SV% -- are much better than those of his successors. Look for the Leafs to make a move should Optimus Reim remained sidelined.
Sounds like Kostitsyn may miss a few more games. He has five goals and nine points through his first 14 games.
Palushaj has a goal and seven assists through seven games with the Hamilton Bulldogs. Look for him to play on the third or fourth line in Montreal.
Ward holds a 9-7-3 record with a 2.08 GAA, .936 SV% and two shutouts in 20 career starts against the Rangers.
