Bertuzzi skated with his teammates today, but will not play tomorrow vs. Philadelphia. It will be the sixth straight game that Bert will have missed. With Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk also out, the Red Wings have recalled Cory Emmerton from Grand Rapids.
NHL Injury Report
Sekera has missed the last two games and his return will be a welcomed sight for Hurricanes fans. Sekera has been great offensively (5G / 8A) and defensively for Carolina this season. If he plays, he will return to the top pair with Justin Faulk and play 20-plus minutes as usual. Mike Komisarek is expected to stay in the lineup with Ryan Murphy coming out.

Thornton took a puck to the face on Saturday and needed stitches to repair the damage. After being stitched up, he returned to play 17:39 (averages 18:40) recording an assist in the Sharks shootout win. He will be in the lineup tonight to take on the Leafs, so get him in your lineup because he is second in the league with assists (25) and tied for eighth in points (29).

My buddy asked me yesterday for an update on Bolland, there you have it. Nothing that we did not already know, still no timetable for Bolland's return. The Maple Leafs will be without Bolland, Joffrey Lupul and Nazem Kadri tonight when they take on the Sharks at the ACC.

McClement will centre the Leafs fourth line with Fraser McLaren and Colton Orr on his wings. His linemates are better known for their fists than their hands and he has two assists in 26 games. He is a great two-way forward but not a serviceable fantasy asset by any means.

Franson left warmups and did not play in Saturday's game after being injured on Friday vs. Buffalo. Franson is still searching for his first goal of the season, but leads the Leafs with 13 assists. He was on the ice for the Maple Leafs morning skate so there is a good chance that he will be in the lineup tonight. Monitor his status during warmups.

Henrique appeared to hurt his leg when he became tangled with Canadiens defenseman Alexei Emelin and fell behind the Montreal net with 2:29 left in the first period. He tried to play through it in the second period, but could not.Henrique was unsure if he’ll be able to play in Wednesday night’s rematch with the Canadiens at Prudential Center. "We’ll see," Henrique said. "We’ll just kind of take it a day at a time here. We’ll see how I feel [today] and go from there."

The Red Wings said yesterday that Datsyuk will need a good week of practice before he can return to the lineup. Not practicing today is not a good sign that he will be back this week. The Red Wings announced today that they will be without Henrik Zetterberg for at least two weeks, so the return of Datsyuk is vital to the Wings' offence.

This is a huge hit to the Red Wings who are already without Pavel Datsyuk. Zetterberg had a tremendous start to the season, posting 11 goals, 19 assists (30 points) and a plus-12 rating in 28 games. The Red Wings will need their young talent to step up in the absence of their two best forwards.

McQuaid tweaked the hip/groin that had kept him out of eight games in November, thus necessitating the recall of Kevan Miller. McQuaid played just 13:45 in Saturday's game, his third game back from injury. He is day-to-day and unlikely to play on Thursday.

Burrows already missed more than three weeks of the season after fracturing his right foot in the season opener Oct. 3 against San Jose when he blocked a Patrick Marleau shot. Burrows, of course, had been playing with the Sedins, so replacing him on that top line will not be an easy choice for coach John Tortorella. Expect it to either be Ryan Kesler or Jannik Hansen.

Beauchemin has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury. It does not sound like he will be in the lineup tomorrow, but Beauchemin wants to travel with the team on their two-game road trip starting Friday in Chicago. Monitor his status throughout the week.

Allen's participation in Monday's skate makes him a potential option for Tuesday after missing the last three games with a lower-body injury.

Bryzgalov left Sunday's contest 16:19 into the second period after being bowled over by a Stars forward. He had a solid game going stopping 28 of 29 shots before departing the ice. There is always the fear of a concussion when you see a collision like this, but we await an official word from the Oilers after he is re-evaluated.

Dubinsky, 27, has tallied five goals and 10 assists for 15 points with 40 penalty minutes and a plus-1 rating in 21 games this season. He leads the club in PIM and time on ice among forwards (19:30), ranks second in assists, third in points and is tied for sixth in goals. He has also netted two power play, two shorthanded and one game-winning goal and won 55.9 percent of face-offs he’s taken. This move all but ensures he will return to the lineup tomorrow.

Datsyuk is highly doubtful to play on Wednesday, and probably won't play at all this week. It sounds like Datsyuk is feeling OK, just not quite ready to jump back into practice. He is one of the best players in the NHL and the Red WIngs are not going to rush him back and risk getting injured again. The fact that the Red WIngs are 4-0 without him makes the decision not to rush him even easier.

Seguin missed Sunday's contest with concussion-like symptoms that he suffered on Friday. I think there is a small chance that Seguin plays tomorrow vs. Chicago and Thursday in Toronto is more likely. There is a lot of history with Seguin and the Maple Leafs and being from nearby Brampton, Ontario I'm sure Seguin wants to suit up for that contest.

Carter averages just 11:16 and has three goals and five points in 24 games, he is not fantasy relevant. Mattias Tedenby will enter the lineup with Carter sidelined.

Laich will miss his third straight game on Tuesday. Jay Beagle will remain in the lineup after two strong games in Laich's absence. Consider him day-to-day, as the injury is not believed to be all that serious.

Franson was a late scratch in Saturday's loss to the Canadiens. Carlyle called Franson an "option" for tomorrow's contest with the Sharks. Whatever injury Franson suffered in Friday's game, it does not appear to be serious and he should be back on the blueline very soon. Monitor his status tomorrow, as he is expected to skate in the a.m.

NHL Injury Report FAQs
The NHL injury report is updated daily so that you can see the latest injury news ahead of puck drop in any of today’s matchups. Seeing timely updates to the NHL injury report can make a major impact on your daily fantasy sports picks and wagers on a particular game. All information provided on the NHL injury report is provided directly by the NHL and each respective franchise to ensure accuracy.
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.
