Khudobin stopped 17 of 18 shots in a 2-0 loss to San Jose on November 16th. Cam Ward has had a good first quarter which has limited Khudobin to six appearances—He is 0-4-2 with a 2.96 GAA and .898 SV%. Steer clear of him as a spot-start with the Penguins in town.
Martinez was on for the Kings game day skate, but stayed on for extra work, which suggests he will be scratched for the fifth straight game. The fact that he was in the skate is a good sign that he is nearing a return, it just doesn’t look like it will be tonight. Monitor his status prior to tomorrow's game in Minnesota.
Shaw has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury but should be back on Wednesday. He was reportedly close to returning on Sunday, but with Phillip Danault getting sent back to Rockford (AHL), it seems like a lock that Shaw will return.
Shaw skated on Sunday morning and wanted to play, but head coach Joel Quenneville will hold him out of a third straight game. Look for Shaw to return on Wednesday vs. Colorado.
Shaw will miss his second straight game with an upper body injury. The injury is not believed to be serious, but he will miss another game and that allows the recently recalled Phillip Danault to make his NHL debut.
Martinez skated for the second straight day on Thursday, but it sounds like he will be out longer than his original timetable of one week. He underwent a procedure that included some work done on his nailbed and head coach Darryl Sutter said “They nearly cut his finger off. I don’t think I could play in a week.” Sutter is worried the finger could become infected and doesn’t want Martinez to miss even more time. He remains day-to-day, but it sounds like he’ll be out longer than original expected.
Shaw's injury is not considered serious, he might only miss tonight and be back on Saturday vs. the Oilers. He is day-to-day.
Martinez was given a one week timetable which would have had him return tonight vs. the Hurricanes, but his absence from the morning skate this morning suggests that he will miss his third straight game.
Martinez will avoid surgery and should remain off of Injured Reserve. Look for a potential return this weekend.
Khudobin is still searching for his first win of the season. To this point, Khudobin is sporting a .892 save% and a 3.34 GAA.
Martinez has 7 points in 17 games this season.
Khudobin allowed five goals on 27 shots in a loss to the Oilers on October 24th. Cam Ward has been red-hot as of late and started the last five games, but head coach Bill Peters wanted to get Khudobin a start. He gets the call tonight in Washington, still searching for his first win of the season—he has a 3.24 GAA and .891 SV% so far.
Foligno missed just one game after injuring his neck and having to be stretchered off of the ice on Sunday vs. the Kings. It is a pretty miraculous recovery and the Jackets will be glad to get him back because their lineup is ravaged by injuries right now.
Maroon has missed the last eight games with an MCL injury, but he has healed really fast and could return tonight in Dallas. Should he return, there is no way of knowing if he will be back on the top-line or not.
Maroon's original timetable was four weeks, but he is coming along better than expected which means he could potentially be back by next week. With Dany Heatley back and Matt Beleskey playing well, the Ducks likely won't rush Maroon, but sounds like he will be joining them in practice shortly.
Foligno was on the ice for the Blue Jackets practice this morning and took line rushes, which is a good sign that he could be available on Friday. This would be rather impressive considering he was stretchered off of the ice less than a week ago. His return would definitely help an extremely depleted Blue Jackets lineup.
Foligno said he is feeling fine despite being stretchered off of the ice on Sunday. He is likely a little stiff and that should keep him off of the ice for a few days, but the news is positive for what was a scary incident. He is day-to-day.
Foligno was knocked out in a collision with the linesman on Sunday night and had to be stretchered off of the ice. He said that he had lost feeling in the one side of his body but it came back quickly. He underwent an MRI and X-rays on Monday and everything came back negative. He was diagnosed with a "stinger" and is day-to-day.
Foligno's head collided with a linesman's body when he was rubbed out by Jeff Carter in Sunday's game. Foligno was laying facedown on the ice and had to be stretchered off. It was a scary scene and likely an injury that will sideline Foligno for a lengthy period of time.
Khudobin allowed three goals on 26 shots in a loss to the Jets on Tuesday. Cam Ward started in the Hurricanes shutout loss to the Flames last night, so Khudobin gets the nod tonight in Edmonton. He has a 2.64 GAA and .912 SV% in three starts, but Carolina is still searching for their first win of the season.
