Ellis practiced yesterday and skated with Seth Jones in today’s morning skate, so it looks like he could be back in the lineup tonight. There is no official word on his status, but expect coach Laviolette to update Ellis’ status shortly.

Carle has been out since January 15th after suffering a torn abductor muscle. Carle is five and a half weeks into a 6-8 week timeline. He has been practicing lately and his return to the Lightning’s blue line would be a huge boost. He won’t play tomorrow, but should be able to return next week.
Originally head coach Ted Nolan was worried that Girgensons would miss the remainder of the season. He will miss a lengthy period of time, but the Sabres are hopeful that he will return before the end of the season.
Ennis left Tuesday’s game with a lower-body injury, but the injury is not serious, but will force him to miss at least one game. Monitor his status prior to Saturday’s game against the Panthers.
Weber missed the last two games with an upper-body injury, but he will be back in the lineup tonight vs. Vancouver. He will be paired with Rasmus Ristolainen on the Sabres second pairing.
Nash missed Tuesday’s game against the Flames, but will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Coyotes. Nash ranks second in the NHL with 37 goals and makes for a strong play tonight against the Coyotes.
Giordano went down awkwardly late in Wednesday’s win over the Devils. He was hooked down and fell to the ice, appearing to twist his knee. Giordano was able to skate off under his own power, but it didn’t look good. Head coach Bob Hartley said that Giordano will be re-evaluated on Thursday.
Ehrhoff played 18:34 and registered one blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in his first game since January 28th. He was playing over 22 minutes a night before getting injured, so expect those minutes to be on the rise again.
This is even longer than the original reports, but with the playoffs starting in seven weeks, Kane’s season appears to be over. This is a terrible break for a player who was trying to become the first American born player to win the scoring title. This will put a lot of weight Kris Versteeg and Patrick Sharp to put the puck in the net.
Skille suffered the shoulder injury on February 17th against the Flyers. He will undergo surgery and it will end his regular season. The Blue Jackets have had some crazy injury issues this season and Skille is the latest one to go down.
As many Canucks fans and Miller owners feared, he will miss at least one month with a sprained knee that he suffered in a collision with his teammate Jannik Hansen. With Miller out for potentially the rest of the regular season, the Canucks will turn to Eddie Lack in the middle of a playoff race.
Wheeler was already ruled out for Thursday’s game and his movement to IR does not restrict him from playing on Sunday, so this move was simply to create a roster spot for Jiri Tlusty.
Wheeler will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury, but head coach Paul Maurice said the injury is not all that serious and he is hopeful that Wheeler will be back in the lineup on Sunday.
Jenner has been out with a fracture in his back, but returned to the ice today. He still remains over a week away from returning to practice, but today was a positive step in his recovery.
Quincey received good news from the doctor this afternoon. The Red Wings feared that he may need surgery, but he doesn’t and has been cleared to return to the lineup as soon as Mike Babcock feels he is ready to go.
Kane suffered a “significant” upper-body injury in Tuesday’s game against the Panthers. There has been no official word on exactly how long he will be sidelined, but his movement to LTIR means that he will miss a minimum of 10 games or 24 days. He is expected to be sidelined for longer than that, but we will wait for the official timeline from the team.
Ehrhoff has been out since January 28th, but it looks like he could be back on the Pens’ blue line tonight vs. the Capitals. Before getting hurt, he has three goals and 10 assists in 43 games, which has too be considered disappointing for the 32-year-old. Expect Derrick Pouliot to come out of the lineup if Ehrhoff ends up being good-to-go.
The Coyotes are trying to deal Michalek and his concussion is making that extremely difficult. He will miss his fifth straight game when the Yotes take on the Rangers tomorrow.
Phaneuf has been out with a hand injury since January 21st, but he is finally ready to get back into the lineup on Thursday. He suffered a setback along the way, which prolonged his recovery, but with the Leafs well out of the playoff race, there was no need to rush their captain back into the lineup. He has two goals and 20 assists (22 points) in 48 games this season.
Bobrovsky skated again on Wednesday and the Blue Jackets believe that he is on track to start one of their two games this weekend. Curtis McElhinney has played very well in Bob’s absence though, so the Blue Jackets will not rush him if he is not 100 percent by Saturday or Sunday.

While the minimum amount of time spent on the injured reserve list is seven calendar days, there is no maximum amount of time that a player can be placed on the injured reserve list. If a player is set to be sidelined for longer than 24 calendar days or 10 NHL games, then a club may opt to place them on the long-term injured reserve instead. This allows franchises with the ability to exceed the salary cap while a player is placed on this reserve list.
No injury recovery timeline is the same as another as there are several factors that go into the rehab process for a player being affected by injury. Factors include but are not limited to, injury severity, player injury/medical history, age, as well as the location of the injury. Some injuries are able to clear up in a matter of days, while others may take an athlete out of action for the entirety of a season.
