Russell has missed the last 13 games with a knee injury but will be back to face the Sharks tonight. HeRussell registered 16 points (4G / 12A) in 36 games before getting injured. Another impressive stat was his plus-1 rating, not bad for a team who gives up as many goals as the Flames.
Stone crashed into the boards in practice and left favouring one of his arms. He was playing on a line with Jason Spezza so someone will get a chance to play with the talented playmaker while Stone is out. Stone is staying back home to he re-evaluated and may join the team later.
The Wild has recalled Johan Gustafsson from AHL Iowa to back up Darcy Kuemper on Tuesday night in Dallas.
Harding has missed nine consecutive games and 13 of the past 15 games since having a "minor adjustment" to his treatment for multiple sclerosis. This is obviously bad news for Harding who appears to have taken a step-back in his recovery.

The Penguins held Neal out of Wednesday's contest because of an upper-body injury, with four days off in between games it was the smart decision to get their sniper back to 100 per cent. He has 36 points (17G / 19A) and a plus-9 rating in 27 games this season. Activate him in all formats.

Bolland has missed the last 35 games and will likely miss several more. The Leafs centre still doesn’t know when he’ll return to practice, let alone game action. “Who knows?” Bolland said Saturday after skating solo for the fourth time this week. Toronto is 14-15-5 since Bolland went out, but coach Randy Carlyle affirmed that the 27-year-old won’t be back until he’s 100 per cent. Bolland, who had six goals and four assists in his first 15 games with the Leafs, wants to go. But he understands the need for caution. “You want to be out there,” he said. “You think some days you can push it and you push it too much and you set yourself behind. You’re just hurting yourself. I think for myself it’s being patient and being ready when I’m ready.”
Aulie hasn't played since December 5 and missed 21 games over the span. The 24-year-old defenseman has yet to record a point and is a minus-3 in six games this season. He will replace the injured Victor Hedman (foot) in the lineup tonight.
Hedman was injured after getting hit in the foot by a shot on Saturday, the injury will keep him out of tonight's lineup. After today the Lightning are off until Thursday. He is listed as day-to-day so there is a good chance that he could be back for that game vs. the Senators.
There was no further injury information, but McQuaid is out for the remainder of today's game. He missed nine games with a lower-body injury in December. The Bruins are already with Dennis Seidenberg and Dougie Hamilton on the blueline so losing McQuaid again would certainly test their depth.
Bourdon hasn’t played a pro hockey game since Nov. 30, 2012 against the Binghamton Senators. In that game, he suffered his second concussion in a year’s time. He had a concussion with the Flyers prior to that, but didn’t tell anyone because he feared losing his spot in the lineup but the 24-year-old defenseman is finally at the point where he can return to game action. Although Bourdon was shut down for a while, he’s been skating for about eight months. He was hopeful he would get cleared to participate in training camp to start this season, but he never was.
Parise has missed 13 games because of a broken foot, said he might begin ramping it up during Monday’s practice by taking contact and getting into more gamelike situations. “I’m just waiting for the green light to get him more involved in practice,” Wild head coach Mike Yeo said.
Wild head coach Mike Yeo said the team will “keep going day to day and figure out how he’s feeling. He’s making progress and he looks good and I’m kind of waiting for a final word or a little bit more information as far as what I’m told from the trainers and the doctors.”
Lapierre is expected to practice on Monday but is doubtful to play. He has missed the last three games, but should return to the Blues' fourth line next week.
Despite his presence at the Islanders practice there is still no timetable for Visnovsky's return from a concussion. The 37-year-old defenseman has been out since October 19, but appears to be nearing a return.
Hamonic has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, it seems highly unlikely that he will play on Monday afternoon.

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.
