McDonagh was crunched by Canucks forward Alex Burrows and skated off of the ice in obvious pain. According to reports, the original diagnosis is that the injury "is not serious". Expect a more detailed update in the next 24 hours.
Ranger missed five games after being stretchered off of the ice on March 19th vs. Tampa Bay. Ranger suited up as the seventh defenseman and played 15:10 with one hit, one blocked shot and a plus-1 rating.
Clowe was injured in Monday's game vs. Florida and is listed as day-to-day. With Clowe out, Tuomo Ruutu moved back up to the Devils' top-line with Mike Sislo drawing into the lineup.
Tlusty played just 10:32 while he is usually around 15. He has had a rough season compared to last seasons breakout campaign. However, since being pushed back onto the top line with Eric Staal, Tlusty has four goals and three assists in his last nine games. Monitor his status in pre-game warmups.
Loktionov, who was acquired at the trade deadline in the Tuomo Ruutu trade, has enjoyed his early time in Carolina. He went from cycling in and out of the lineup in Jersey, to playing on the top line with Eric Staal in Raleigh. He has three goals and three assists in his last seven games, but could be held out of Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh. Monitor his status during pre-game warmups.
Sedin will miss his fourth straight game tonight vs. the Rangers, but it is a good sign to see him back on the ice. The Canucks are desperately trying to salvage their season and make it into the playoffs and having a healthy Daniel and Henrik would certainly help their chances. Sedin remains day-to-day.
Moss missed Saturday's game, but could be back tonight vs. the Jets. Moss has been a great bottom-6 forward for the Coyotes this season. He has chipped in 21 points (7G / 13) in 74 games.
Jones missed the last four games after being rocked by Andrew Shaw on March 23 in Chicago. Jones has scored six goals with 18 assists (24 points) and a minus-23 rating in 72 games in his rookie season. Expect him to be back in the lineup on Friday.
Datsyuk called himself a game-time decision this morning. Datsyuk will take part in the morning skate and then decide whether or not he can go vs. the Bruins. If Dats can not play on Wednesday, it certainly sounds like he will be available for Friday.
Jovanovski sits in back-to-back situations, so tonight is no different. He will take a seat, Racine will slide in.
Horton, who is already missing tonight's game, could be in danger of missing Thursday and Friday's games as well. Horton has reportedly been playing through the lower-body injury, but it has reached a point where he can't anymore.
Tuesday was classified as a maintenance day for the veteran Swedish forward. He has picked up three goals and five assists in his last nine games and with the return of Pavel Datsyuk around the corner, that should bolster the Red Wings power-play and likely Alfie's PP numbers.
Deslauriers has no points and a minus-7 rating in 12 games with the Sabres. He will be replaced by Ville Leino tonight vs. the Devils.
The Oilers are dropping like flies right now, but with their playoff hopes completely down the drain, it is not that big of a deal. Ference had one goal and five assists in his last nine games. Those six points make one-third of his scoring output this season -- 18 points in 71 games.
Kessel did not skate this morning or Monday, but head coach Randy Carlyle said that Kessel is good-to-go tonight vs. the Flames. Kessel suffered the injury after taking a hard pass from James van Riemsdyk off of the inside of his foot. Kessel has just two goals and two assists during the Leafs eight games skid, they will need him to be firing on all cylinders down the stretch.
Okposo will miss his third straight game on Tuesday with a lower-body injury. The Islanders are well out of the hunt for the playoffs, and frankly, they are playing OK hockey without Okposo and John Tavares. There is no need for them to get him in the lineup with the season virtually over for them. Consider him day-to-day still.
Datsyuk has not play since February 27th, but says that his knee feels good-to-go tomorrow, but conditioning will be a concern. This will be a massive boost to the Red Wings offence who have been getting it done wihtout Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg. Monitor his status during Wednesday's morning skate.
Gorges said there was a possibility he could practise with the team later this week, but the ever-cautious coach Therrien said he didn’t plan to rush the defenceman back into the lineup.
Martin has not played since February 7 after suffering a hand injury in the Olympics while playing for Team USA. While Martin is nearing a return, there is still no word when he will be back in the lineup. Martin is hoping that he plays this weekend, but continue to monitor his status as the Penguins take this day-to-day.
Bryzgalov will be backed up tonight by Rob Laurie, a 43-year-old who in the last calendar year has served as an emergency goalie for the Anaheim Ducks and most recently the Vancouver Canucks against Anaheim in January. He has been signed to a pro tryout. Kuemper is listed as day-to-day.

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.
