Sheary has been sidelined by an upper-body injury since January 31st, but has been skating and took part in the morning skate, so there’s a good chance he returns to the lineup tonight.

Carrick, 24, has picked up 15 goals and 18 assists (33 points) in 50 games with the Marlies this season. He has yet to appear in an NHL game this season, but played in 16 last year, scoring one goal with one assist. Expect him to make his season debut tonight vs. the Blue Jackets.
