Eriksson will be replaced by Jordan Caron on the third line and Brad Marchand will take his spot on the power-play. Bruins head coach Claude Julien said that Eriksson will be back in the lineup on Thursday.
No word on why Eriksson is absent from the morning skate, but Jordan Caron is skating in his spot with Carl Soderberg and Chris Kelly. Expect an update on Eriksson following the practice.
Eriksson missed the last 15 games with a concussion that he suffered on December 7. He is expected to start the game on the Bruins third line with Carl Soderberg and Ryan Spooner. He has totalled 14 points (5G / 9A) with a plus-8 in 24 games this season. He is owned in 66% of Yahoo leagues. Eriksson would be a consistent producer that would provide depth at both LW and RW.
Eriksson has missed the last 15 games after suffering a concussion on December 7. It was the second concussion that Eriksson has suffered this season, they have kept him out of a total of 20 games. In the 24 games that Eriksson has suited up for, he has registered five goals and nine assists (14 points). If he is still available in your league, he would be a good addition to provide depth at both wing positions.
Daley has missed the last 14 games with a high ankle sprain. He and Sergei Gonchar (concussion) will both return to the Stars lineup.
Daley has been out since December 5, but could return after a 14 game absence. He had one goal and four assists in 27 games.
Following this afternoon's game the Bruins travel to Anaheim to take on the Ducks next Tuesday and will be in California until next Saturday when they take on the Sharks. There is a chance Erikssson could be cleared for contact and potentially re-enter the lineup in one of the three games on the trip. Eriksson will miss his 13th straight game today.
Eriksson will not play tonight, but this is a good sign for the Bruins. Eriksson will miss his 11th straight game tonight after suffering a concussion on December 7. Eriksson is considered day-to-day.
Eriksson suffered his second concussion of the season on Saturday and is expected to be sidelined for an extended period of time.
Eirksson already missed an extended period of time from a concussion earlier this season, so a second one in the same season is bad news. Don't expect Eriksson to be on the ice in the near future as the Bruins will likely be very delicate with this situation.
Daley will join Stephane Robidas on IR as top-4 defensemen that the Stars will be without for an extended period of time. Daley had a goal and four assists in the first 27 games this season. Jamie Oleksiak and Kevin Connauton will now be featured on the Stars blueline quite frequently over the next few weeks.
The Stars lost Daley early in the second period of Thursday night’s game in Toronto when he and Maple Leafs forward James van Riemsdyk got tangled up while battling for the puck. Daley went down and then slid into the end boards. Daley had to be helped off the ice. He did not return to the game and the Stars said he had a lower body injury. “He’s got an injury that looks like it’s going to be a little bit of time,” said Stars coach Lindy Ruff. “Our people will evaluate it, but I can just tell you that it’s going to be nothing that is going to be short-term.”
Eriksson missed five games with a concussion that he suffered on a hit from the Sabres' John Scott. He appears set to return tonight vs. his former team; Dallas.

Eriksson returned to practice late last week in a no-contact sweater. Today he was on the ice in a regular jersey, which is great news for the Bruins. Boston takes on Dallas tomorrow, Eriksson could be available. If he is not, Jordan Caron will play with Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron.
Eriksson will miss his fifth straight game after being concussed on a hit by John Scott on October 23. "To see him out there, continuing to progress is encouraging...but we're not out of the woods yet until he's cleared to play," said Bruins head coach Claude Julien.
The Bruins have three games this week, which it sounds like Eriksson will miss. Concussions are a tricky injury so the Bruins will take it day-by-day.
Concussions are a tricky injury to offer timetables for so take his injury day-by-day. This is a tough break for a player who has only missed a total of three games in the last five seasons. In the meantime this offers a value boost to Brad Marchand who shifts back to the second line alongside Patrice Bergeron.
Eriksson won't be available when the Bruins take on the Sharks tonight. He left Wednesday's game after being hit high by Sabres forward John Scott. Brad Marchand moves back to the second line with Eriksson out.
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli issued an update following the game, saying that “Loui is staying overnight in Buffalo for precautionary reasons. He is expected to return to Boston (today).” It is safe to assume that Eriksson will not play tonight vs. San Jose.
