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.
Weber will be held out of this afternoon’s game because of a lower-body injury. He will be replaced by Anton Volchekov. Consider Weber as day-to-day.
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.
Ellis was in the Predators morning skate, but the Predators will evaluate him this afternoon before making a decision on his status for tonight’s game. Ellis has missed the last three games while the Predators take things slow with his return.
The Predators said they want to be cautious with Ellis, which is why he was held out of Saturday’s game and why he will not play tonight vs. the Devils. He remains day-to-day until the Predators believe he is 100%.
Cole, 26, will be a restricted free agent in the offseason. He has the size to be a good defensive defenseman but has shown a little bit of offensive acumen as well. He had nine points (4G / 5A), a plus-16 rating, 42 hits and 63 blocked shots in 54 games this season.
Cole was a healthy scratch on Tuesday, but will be back in tonight for Chris Butler. He has on goal and two assists in his last six games.
Ellis played just 11:29 in his return to the lineup on Thursday. He said he was 100%, but being scratched this afternoon suggests that he might have re-aggregated that lower-body injury.
Ellis practiced yesterday and skated with Seth Jones in today’s morning skate, so it looks like he could be back in the lineup tonight. There is no official word on his status, but expect coach Laviolette to update Ellis’ status shortly.
This is even longer than the original reports, but with the playoffs starting in seven weeks, Kane’s season appears to be over. This is a terrible break for a player who was trying to become the first American born player to win the scoring title. This will put a lot of weight Kris Versteeg and Patrick Sharp to put the puck in the net.
Kane suffered a “significant” upper-body injury in Tuesday’s game against the Panthers. There has been no official word on exactly how long he will be sidelined, but his movement to LTIR means that he will miss a minimum of 10 games or 24 days. He is expected to be sidelined for longer than that, but we will wait for the official timeline from the team.
