Hartman, 20, was the Blackhawks first round pick (30th overall) in 2013. The young bluliner has eight goals and 10 assists (18 points) in 47 games in his first full season with Rockford. The Blackhawks have a pretty veteran D-corp, but he could slide in for David Rundblad sometime in the near future.
Bogosian, 24, was the third overall pick in 2008, but has had a hard time staying healthy early in his career. Bogosian has mixed 15 games this season and a total of 74 games (27.6% of games) since 2011-12. Injuries have slowed down his development, but the young blue liner has 13 points (3G / 10A) in 41 games this season. A change of scenery should help Bogosian, especially because he should play a massive role in Buffalo.
Foligno has been out since December 21st, but will replace Cody Hodgson in today’s lineup vs. the Islanders. Foligno has nine points (5G / 4A) in 28 games this season.
Foligno has been out since December 21st, but he is getting really close to being back in the Sabres lineup. He is not expected to play tonight vs. the Stars, but he could return tomorrow vs. the Islanders.
Foligno has been out since December 21st after he underwent hand surgery. He was expected to miss six weeks, but today marks the five and a half week point. He participated in practice with a non-contact jersey, so he will need to shed that sweater before he returns.
Although the decision on that might not be finalized for a few days, a source familiar with his situation said the injury that has prevented Maatta from playing since Dec. 6 has not responded satisfactorily to rehabilitation efforts. Maatta is expected to undergo an operation once he is officially ruled out of the rest of the season, but a decision on surgery has not been finalized yet.
Pickard allowed four goals on 32 shots in a loss to the Blackhawks on December 27th before being sent back to Lake Erie. He is back with the Avalanche 17 days later and will get the nod vs. Carolina tonight. Pickard has gone 6-6-2 with a 2.21 GAA and .934 SV% this season—he stopped all 17 shots he faced after replacing Semyon Varlamov in his first appearance vs. the Hurricanes.
Pickard has the second highest SV% (.934) in the NHL. He has switched organizational positions with Reto Berra, who is heading to the AHL on a ‘conditioning stint.’ Pickard will start Tuesday in Carolina.
Bogosian, who has missed the last 14 games, will be back in the lineup tonight vs. Arizona. He will be paired with Jay Harrison for the first time this season. Harrison was acquired while Bogosian was on IR. Bogo has eight assists in 25 games.
Bogosian was on the ice for the Jets’ morning skate and was paired with Jay Harrison, which suggests that he will be in the lineup tonight in Arizona. Bogosian has missed the last 14 games—he has eight assists in 25 games this season.
Maatta has been skating for over a week but still needs to join full practice, before a return is imminent. He is one and a half weeks into a four-week timetable, and there has been no word on whether or not he is ahead of schedule.
Bogosian will travel with the team on their three-game road-trip that starts on Thursday in Arizona. There is a possibility that Bogosian returns to the lineup on that trip but that is not a sure thing. Expect him to take on massive minutes when he gets back on the blue line.
Bogosian has been sidelined with a lower-body injury since December 3rd, but returned to practiced this morning, which is great news for a banged up blue line. Bogosian is not expected to play tonight, but he is progressing and is nearing a return.
Brodin is taking line rushes with Ryan Suter in the morning skate which would suggest that he will play tonight. Monitor his status after the skate wraps up.
Brodin will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury, but look for him to be back on Friday vs. the Maple Leafs. Monitor his status during Friday’s morning skate.
Brodin will not play tonight after being injured in Saturday’s game. However, he says he is feeling much better and that Wednesday vs. the Blue Jackets is a possibility.
Despite Pickard going 3-3-2 with a 2.21 GAA and .936 SV% during this recall, with Semyon Varlamov back from a groin injury, Pickard will unfortunately head back to the minors.
Foligno underwent surgery on his injured hand and will miss another month and a half.
Brodin suffered an upper-body injury in Saturday’s game and did not return. After the game coach Mike Yeo said he is out indefinitely, so he will obviously not be in the lineup on Monday vs. the Jets.
Maatta, who is also battling mumps, is progressing well, but is still expected to miss another month. His original timeline was “a couple of weeks”, but don’t expect to see him until late January.
