Quick injured his wrist in game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Rangers. Quick is expected to be healthy in late August or early September which will have him ready to go for the 2014-15 season.
Head coach Alain Vigneault did not offer an update on Talbot's injury, but did say that David LeNeveu will back up again.
Head coach Michel Therrien did not call the injury a concussion at first, however it seemed pretty clear that he had suffered a head injury opposed to what Therrien called a "body" injury. John Moore will miss game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals as a result of his two-game suspension for the hit on Weise.
Regehr is close to returning to the Kings' lineup, but will not play in game six. Should the Blackhawks force a game seven, there is a chance that Regehr could be back.
After suffering what appeared to be a head injury in game five, head coach Michel Therrien denied that Weise has a concussion and will miss tonight's game with a "body" injury. John Moore was suspended two games for the hit to the head, so it is strange for Therrien to describe it as a body injury.
All signs pointed towards Stepan returning to the Rangers' lineup tonight, but head coach Alain Vigneault made it clear that it is not up to Stepan whether he plays tonight. Stepan will be monitored and evaluated by the medical staff this afternoon, before a decision is made on his status for game five. Consider him a game-time decision.
Stepan is on the ice with a full facial shield ahead of game 5. Stepan missed game 4 after having jaw surgery following a game 3 broken jaw. There is a chance Stepan could be in the lineup tonight, but it won't be announced until after the gameday skate.
Price was on the ice for a second straight day, but it was his first practice in full gear since suffering a leg injury in game 1. He has already been ruled out for the rest of the Eastern Conference Final, but this is a step in the right direction for Price, who could be available for the Stanley Cup Final if the Habs can dig themselves out of a 3-1 hole.
Shaw missed the previous seven games, but will be back in the lineup tonight in Los Angeles. Peter Regin is expected to be a healthy scratch to make room for Shaw, who will center the Hawks' third line with Brandon Saad and Kris Versteeg.
Stepan's jaw was broken on a hit by Habs' forward Brandon Prust in game 3 on Thursday. Prust has a hearing for a possible suspension as a result of the hit. Head coach Alain Vigneault would not commit to a timetable on Stepan's return, but more details are expected to be released following surgery.
Pouliot missed practice on Wednesday with what was described as a 'maintenance day'. Pouliot was back on the ice this morning and will be in the lineup tonight at MSG. Pouliot played 13:39 and was a plus-1 with one shot and six hits in game 2. He has three goals and five assists (8 points) in 16 games this postseason.
Consider Brassard a game-time decision after head coach Alain Vigneault called him day-to-day this morning. Brassard missed game 2 after suffering an injury early in game 1. If he is unable to go tonight, Dominic Moore will remain the Rangers' third line centre.
Shaw will be out for the seventh consecutive game; he says it’s the most time he’s missed in his entire hockey career. The good news is, Shaw said he’s feeling no pain with his injury. The stops/starts and quick on-ice movements aren’t affecting him either. He is targeting a return for game 3.
Shaw is participating again this morning, but is not taking line rushes on any of the top four lines which is not a good sign for his availability for game 2 on Wednesday. Shaw has not played since game 1 of the second round series vs. the Wild. Monitor his status during tomorrow's morning skate prior to game 2.
Galchenyuk will be playing in his first game since April 9th. He will skate on the Habs second line with Tomas Plekanec and Thomas Vanek. Michael Bournival will take a seat with Galchenyuk back in. He had one goals and two assists in five playoff games in 2012-13.
Galchenyuk has not played since April 9th because of a lower-body injury that he suffered that night vs. the Blackhawks. Galchenyuk recorded 13 goals and 18 assists (31 points) with a minus-12 rating in 65 games this season. If he returns to the lineup tonight, Micheal Bournival is expected to be scratched.
Brassard was injured on a hit from Mike Weaver early in game 1. He is listed as day-to-day, so the severity of his injury is not clear. Dominic Moore played very well in Brassard's spot, recording two assists in 16:36 TOI; he is expected to play there again tonight, with Dan Carcillo coming in.
Price was injured in a collision with Chris Kreider in game 1, and will now miss the rest of the series. Head coach Michel Therrien said it best this morning when he said "we lost our best player". This injury is devestating for the Habs, who look to bounce back from a 7-2 loss in game 1. Now their fate rests in the hands of Petee Budaj.
It was been a tough season for Letang. He dealt with a knee injury to start the season, an elbow infection in December and January and then of course his stroke in February. Now Letang's latest injuries to his foot and hand, I'm sure he will be happy to relax his banged up body over the offseason.
Price did not return for the third period in game 1 after he appeared to injure his leg during a collision with Rangers' forward Chris Kreider. Price's absence at the morning skate should not be too alarming. He has skipped morning skates throughout the playoffs and played, he was also one of six players who didn't take part. We will wait to see what head coach Michel Therrien has to say about Price's availability, but we will likely have to wait until pre-game warmups, to find out if he or Peter Budaj starts game 2.

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.
