| No lineup changes announced. |
| Byron Bitz returns tonight. Patrice Bergeron and Mark Stuart are traveling with the team, they may play on this upcoming road trip. Bergeron targeting Monday. |
| Craig Conroy questionable. Jamie Lundmark recalled as a contingency plan. |
| Fabian Brunnstrom recalled from the Texas Stars. |
| Injured tender Nikolai Khabibulin expects to undergo back surgery. This surgery often is the last resort to reoccurring back problems |
| David Booth took part in practice, albeit non contact. Still no timetable on when he can actually play. |
| Clayton Stoner took part in full practice, firing slapshots at Niklas Backstrom. He will not play tonight. Petr Sykora will return tonight with Cal Clutterbuck complaining of concussion-like symptoms following a “dirty” hit from Sergei Gonchar. Clutterbuck also will play. |
| Ryan Parent about a week away from receiving medical clearance. Scott Hartnell ill and missed practice. Chris Pronger taking a maintenance day. Danny Syvret out with a dislocated shoulder and will go on long term IR. Sad considering his play pushed Braydon Coburn out of the top four. |
| John Curry called up to replace an injured Brent Johnson. The team lists Johnson as day-to-day. Brooks Orpik listed as day-to-day and skated on his own without equipment today. No official word if he is playing, but I would guess not due to the report. |
| Steve Bernier likely to miss tonight’s game per Jason Botchford. Ryan Johnson and Pavol Demitra skated but will not play tonight. |
| No lineup changes announced. |
