Anton Stralman News

Stralman (upper-body) will undergo treatment and will be re-evaluated in one week.

Stralman has not played since November 8th and will miss at least the next three or four games. Erik Cernak has played well in Stralman’s absence, so there’s no need to rush the veteran defenseman back in the first half of the season.

Stralman (upper-body) is doubtful for Monday.

Stralman has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury and is likely to miss his fifth consecutive game on Monday. The Lightning have four games this week, so there will be plenty of opportunities for Stralman to re-enter the lineup.

Stralman (lower-body) is expected to return to the Lightning lineup on Sunday.

Stralman has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury, but was back on the ice this morning and will likely play in Columbus. Stralman has just 11 points (4G / 7A) in 35 games but is leading the NHL in plus/minus at plus-24.

Stralman (lower-body) is not expected to play on Friday.

Stralman was a late scratch from Thursday’s game vs. the Canadiens and likely won’t play tonight either. Stralman is “more likely” to play vs. the Blue Jackets on Sunday according to Jon Cooper.

Tyutin (lower-body) is expected to be back in the Colorado lineup on Thursday.

Tyutin has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury, but it looks like he will be back in tonight in Boston. There’s no word on who he will replace, but Tyson Barrie missed the morning skate with an illness, so it could be Barrie, Cody Goloubef or Eric Gelinas.

Stralman (undisclosed) will not play on Monday; expected to miss three games.

Stralman left Saturday’s game vs. the Sharks with an undisclosed injury and did not return. Stralman will not play in the Lightning’s first game of a five-game road-trip and head coach Jon Cooper would not commit to Stralman playing on the trip, and added that he will likely miss the first three games.

The Avalanche signed Fedor Tyutin to a one-year deal worth $2 million.

Tyutin, 32, has had some strong offensive years during his 12-year career, but he is coming off of his worst season, having recorded just three points (1G / 2A) in 61 games with the Blue Jackets. He was bought out by Columbus, but brings a lot of experience to a relatively young Avalanche blueline.

Stralman (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Friday.

Stralman missed Tuesday’s game with an illness, but could be back in the lineup on Friday. He is listed as a game-time decision, so monitor his status when the Lightning hit the ice for warmups at 7:00 p.m. ET.

Anton Stralman
Stralman (undisclosed) is not on the ice for warmups; will not play on Tuesday.

Stralman was a late scratch on Tuesday when he did not come out for warmups. There is no word on what is ailing the veteran defenseman, but consider him day-to-day until more details are released. He will be replaced by Luke Witkowski, who was recalled from Syracuse (AHL) earlier today.
