Burns out at least the next two games, but McLellan does not rule out Havlat or Wingels for tomorrow against Colorado. #sjsharks
The often injured Burns left Saturday's game after only playing 2:07 and did not return. The injury is a lower-body injury and it is not known how much time he will miss. We do know he will not be in the lineup in the Sharks next two games. Burns has zero points and is a -5 in 6 games this season.
The Avs captain is expected to return to the lineup today against the Kings.
Early indications show Landeskog will play the wing alogside Stastny and Jones.
Well, here's some good news. Landeskog in normal practice sweater skating on the left side w/ Stastny and Jones. Good stuff.
Landeskog (concussion) hasn't played since January 26th. It appears he will return to the Avs lineup this weekend.
Landeskog speaks to media, says he feels good, could go on weekend California road trip.
The Avs could use the services of their young captain as they have struggled without him. Monitor his status in the next couple days to see if he will be in the lineup against Los Angeles, Anaheim or San Jose.
Gabe Landeskog back at practice with #Avs. Orange jersey on though
Landeskog hasn't played since January 26th when he was hit hard by Sharks defenceman Brad Stuart and suffered multiple injuries. The Avalanche need him back but aren't going to rush their young captain. It appears as if he is still at least a week away from returning.
Brent Burns was paired with Brad Stuart today at practice.
Burns had been skating as an extra at practice but was paired with Stuart today which indicates he is nearing a return. He could suit up tomorrow for the Sharks, but nothing is official. Check back tomorrow for an official word on Burns.
Burns was a regular at Sharks practice today (Not wearing non-contact jersey).
Burns still isn't quite ready for a return but should be back in the next couple of weeks.
Landeskog did not skate with Avs this morning. Won't play tonight
This will be the second game in a row that Landeskog has missed due to injuries sustained on the big hit he took from Sharks defenceman Brad Stuart.
Brent Burns skates again for the Sharks.
Still no timetable for Burns return, but the fact that he is skating again is a step in the right direction.
Sharks defenseman Brent Burns is skating again, but did not offer a timeline as to when he could return to the lineup.
Burns continues to rehab, but when he will be back on the ice is unknown. The Sharks are on a tear right now so I don't foresee them rushing Burns back and risk him re-injuring himself. For now just monitor his status going forward, and pick him up accordingly if he is still available.
Landeskog will sit out tonight. Issues with head and leg.
Landeskog took a big hit from San Jose D-man Brad Stuart on Saturday. He only has one goal on the year, and it is unknown how long he'll be out but it doesn't appear to be serious.
Line Change
Nazem Kadri looks like he's going to get his shot.
The Maple Leafs trade Lombardi yesterday and are going to Waive Connolly today. This leaves the door open for Kadri to make the team and step in and make a difference. Kadri is a talented player so monitor him as the season moves along, if he can score... He's worth a fantasy look.
#Isles have agreed to terms with 2010 1st rounder Brock Nelson on an entry-level deal, according to a source.
Nelson turns pro after scoring 28 goals and 47 points in 42 games with the U. of North Dakota.

The Devils have signed goaltender Scott Wedgewood to a three-year entry level contract.
You may have gotten a good look at Wedgewood as the starting goalie for Team Canada during the WJHC. He is probably the best internal option to replace Martin Brodeur at this juncture.

Landeskog probably doesn't play tonight after being held out of practice. The rookie has 18 goals and 43 points in 70 games.
