Pouliot missed the final two games of the regular season and will be held out of game 1 of the playoffs because of an upper-body injury. Monitor his status prior to Game 2 on Saturday.

Kane has been out with broken collarbone since February 24th, but he will be back for game 1 vs. the Predators. This is a massive boost for the Blackhawks lineup and should make them clear-cut favourites in this series. He had 27 goals and 37 assists (64 points) in 61 games before getting injured.

Kane was a full participant in Monday’s practice and coach Quenneville seems positive about the possibility of Kane being ready for Game 1. Monitor his status again on Tuesday.

Kane has been out since February 24th but got rid of his no-contact sweater this morning and skated in his usual spot on the Blackhawks second line with Brad Richards and Kris Versteeg. Kane also practiced with the top power-play unit, both of which are good signs that Kane could be back in the lineup for Game 1.

Pouliot will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury that he suffered on Tuesday. With Pouliot out, the Penguins will be forced to go with five defensemen once again.

Weber is reportedly day-to-day with a lower-body injury, but this smells like rest for Weber, who missed three games late in March with a lower-body injury. Weber had no points but 15 shots on goal in three games since returning from that injury.

Pouliot suffered an upper-body injury on Tuesday and will be held out of tonight’s game vs. the Islanders. In what is a must-win for the Penguins, they will have to go with five defensemen because of Pouliot’s absence.

Pouliot suffered an upper-body injury in the Penguins OT loss to the Senators on Tuesday and leaves him questionable for Friday’s game. Monitor his status during the Penguins morning skate.

Weber has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury and it looks like he will miss his third consecutive game tonight vs. the Canucks.

Kane is just five weeks into a 12-week timeline and when coach Joel Quenneville was asked if his timeline has changed, the coach said “There’s been excellent progress. It could be good news. We’ll see.” This is great news for the Blackhawks, but when he will return remains fuzzy. He could be back in time for game-1 of the playoffs.

Weber will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury. He will once again be replaced by Anton Volchekov and is listed as day-to-day. Monitor his status leading up to Tuesday’s game vs. the Canucks.

Pouliot, 21, has two goals and three assists (5 points) in 26 games with the Penguins this season. While in WBS he has 24 points (7G / 17A) in 31 games. His recall suggests that Christian Ehrhoff won’t be ready to go on Tuesday.

Teravainen was a healthy scratch on Friday, but head coach Joel Quenneville wants to shake his lineup up on Sunday, which means Teravainen in and Bryan Bickell likely out. Teravainen was centring the second line with Antoine Vermette and Brandon Saad as well as playing on the Hawks second power-play unit.
