Bruins head coach Claude Julien said that Iginla could probably play, but is being given a maintenance day. It is sounding more and more like the B's are simply resting their veteran forward before the playoffs.
Gorges has been out of the Habs lineup since March 6th with a broken hand. Gorges return is perfect timing for the Canadiens who are gearing up for a run at the Stanley Cup. He has one goal and 12 assists (13 points) with a plus-7 rating in 63 games this season. He will be paired with P.K Subban on Wednesday.
Iginla skated this morning, but left the ice prior to the rest of the team coming on. His absence at the morning skate suggests that he will miss a second straight game and makes it three out of the last four. Loui Eriksson will stay on the top line, where he has enjoyed success with Iggy out.
Updating an earlier report: It is confirmed that Huberdeau will return tonight and he will skate on the third-line with Drew Shore and Jesse Winchester.
Downie has missed the last eight games, but will likely be back vs. the Panthers tonight. With Zac Rinaldo getting suspended for the remainder of the regular season, Downie would slide in for him.
Rangers' head coach Alain Vigneault said he is not sure whether he will play McDonagh at all before the end of the regular season. We may have to wait until the playoffs before we see McDonagh back on the blueshirts' blueline.
Green left Saturday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return. He did not travel with the Capitals to St. Louis and won't meet them in Carolina. There is no word whether Green will be available for the final two home games of the season. His injury leaves the Capitals blueline very young and inexperienced.
Kreider is skating with a brace, but no glove on his surgically repaired left hand this morning. Kreider will miss his seventh consecutive game tonight and remains without a timetable for his return.
McDonagh has missed the last two games after suffering a shoulder injury last Tuesday in Vancouver. He is expected to return for the final couple of games, but there is no word if he will be back in the lineup tonight vs. Carolina.
Boys has missed the last three games with back spams, but should be back in tonight vs. the Flyers. He was reunited with Nick Bjugstad and Sean Bergenheim on the Panthers top line in the morning skate, so all signs point towards him returning this evening. Boyes has tallied 20 goals and 14 assists (34 points) in 75 games this season.
Huberdeau, who has missed he last 11 games with a concussion, is on the ice for the Panthers' morning skate taking part in regular work on a line with Drew Shore and Jesse Winchester. It has been a tough season for Huby, but he will look to get something going at the end of the season that he can build off of in 2014-15.
Kostka has missed the last two games after suffering a concussion last Tuesday vs. Montreal. He was hit in the head with a Douglas Murray elbow, the play earned Murray a three-game suspension. The Lightning have a ton of depth on the blue-line, so they will be patient with Kostka's recovery. He as averaged 15:43 TOI and has two goals, three assists with a plus-5 rating in 16 games since being acquired by the Lightning.
Horton was listed as a game-time decision on Monday, but based on the morning skate it looks like he will be back in tonight vs. the Coyotes. Horton is skating on a line with Ryan Johansen and Boone Jenner--monitor his status following the a.m skate.
Stewart has missed the last 16 games, but should return tonight vs. Detroit. Originally he was expected to miss the rest of the regular season, but it looks like he will be available to suit up for the final few contests.
Ehrhoff took a puck to the ear on Sunday which required 40 stitches following the game. It was a pretty gruesome gash that Ehrhoff elected to share on Twitter, but depending on how well it has healed, he could be held out of tonight's game vs. the Red Wings. Mark Pysyk has been recalled and will play if Ehrhoff can't go.
Originally, Foligno's knee injury was believed to be a structural injury, but turned out to be more of a bone bruise. He missed the last two games, but will be in the lineup vs. the Wings tomorrow. He has seven goals and 10 assists (17 points) in 70 games.
Smith has been out since March 24th after suffering a knee injury that night in New York. He has been skating over the last week, but this morning was his first full practice since getting hurt. The Coyotes are in a tough fight for the last Wild Card spot in the West, so getting Smith back would be a huge boost for the team. They have four games remaining, starting tomorrow vs. Columbus. There is no word if Smith will be ready, but he is definitely nearing a return. Monitor his status in the morning skate tomorrow.
Jones had missed the previous five games with a concussion he suffered on March 23rd in Chicago. The Predators season is coming to a close, which means the end of Jones' rookie season. As of now, he has six goals and 18 asssits in 73 games. His 24 points has him tied for 21st amongst rookies in scoring.
Andersen was shaken up in Friday's loss to the Predators. He was struck high by a puck and did not return for the third period. With Andersen sidelined and Jonas Hiller struggling, John Gibson will make his NHL debut on Monday. Regardless of the outcome, expect Gibson to be sent back to the AHL when Andersen is 100 per cent.
Sekera will miss his third straight game with a lower-body injury. Sekera has blown-away his previous career highs in his first season with the Hurricanes. He has 11 goals and 33 assists (44 points) in 47 games. His previous high was 29 points. He 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.
