Coyle will need a root canal when he returns to Minnesota after being high-sticked by Calgary’s Mark Giordano on Monday.
Ouch. Coyle is not expected to miss any games.

#FlaPanthers Kevin Dineen says Erik Gudbranson is ill, gametime decision vs #njDevils
Gudbranson has four assists in 22 games this season. Monitor his status prior to puck-drop. If your lineup locks at the first game, I would sit Gudbranson as he likely won't play with Kulikov returning to the lineup.

Wild have recalled Charlie Coyle
Wild wanted a right-shot winger to replace Clutterbuck, it reassigned rookie Johan Larsson and recalled rookie Charlie Coyle, who impressed during a recent five-game callup.

Coyle has been reassigned to Houston (AHL)
Coyle had 0 points and was a -1 in 5 games with the WIld.
Looks like Erik Gudbranson to make 2013 debut for #FlaPanthers with Brian Campbell; Keaton Ellerby the likely scratch v #Flyers
The former #3 overall pick is a good NHL D-man but not a good fantasy player. This will be a welcomed addition to the Panthers lineup but don't go running to the waiver wire to pick him up.
Line Change
Rookie Charlie Coyle on top line with Parise and Koivu; Dany Heatley moved to 2nd with Bouchard/Cullen. #mnwild
Coyle played 12:44 in his first game yesterday but didn't register a point. After just one game he is already getting moved up to the first line in place of Dany Heatley who will be bumped to the second line. This is a great opportunity for the young winger who will play with two great players in Mikko Koivu and Zach Parise.
Gudbranson may play tonight for the Panthers.
Gudbranson hasn't played yet this season since off season shoulder surgery, an injury he suffered while wake boarding. He was suspended and sent to the AHL where he recently played two games, he has yet to practice with the Panthers but could very well be in the lineup tonight.
Kevin Dineen says no Marcel Goc (ankle) or Erik Gudbranson (shoulder) for Panthers first three games
Gudbranson can be a good fantasy option when he puts it all together. He can score, hit and racks up PIM's. However he is expected to miss the first three games of the year. Not a good start.
FLA is hoping injured defenceman Erik Gudbranson will be back in lineup in 2 to 3 weeks.
Gudbranson isn't expected to be fantasy relevant this season but now we have a timetable for his return.
Tallon said Erik Gudbranson's suspension will be lifted "as soon as he's cleared to play."
Gudbranson injured himself wakeboarding in the offseason and there is no timetable for his return.
#CBJ has signed Boone Jenner to three-year, entry-level deal.
Jenner just finished his third season with the Oshawa Generals, scoring 22 goals and 49 points in 43 games.
jovo-Gudbranson
Gudbranson will get back into the lineup tonight. The rookie has two goals and six points with 60 PIM in 55 games.
#mnwild announce they've signed Charlie Coyne to a three-year entry-level contract.
Coyle left Boston University this year to speed up his transition to the professional ranks. The rising pivot should have an opportunity to make the Wild out of training camp following a playoff run in the QMJHL.
Gudbranson sick will prob play#flapanthers
With only six healthy defensemen, Gudbranson will either play or be replaced by a minor leaguer. A lack of recalled d-man likely indicates he stays in the lineup tonight.
Coach Dineen says Gudbranson out tonight for #FlaPanthers with charley horse. Should only be out "a couple days"
Tough break as Gudbranson is just coming off his first NHL goal. Look for Keaton Ellerby to draw back into the lineup.
Gudbranson at D
Gudbranson in means Keaton Ellerby remains out of the lineup. The rookie is still looking for his first NHL point.
Eril Gudbranson will be in the lineup tonight #nhl #flapanthers
Gudbranson draws in for the first time since November 17th. The former 3rd overall pick is still looking for his first NHL point.
