McCarron served as a healthy scratch for the last two games, but will replace David Desharnais in the lineup tonight. Desharnais is a potential trade piece for the Canadiens, so they will scratch him as asset protection before the trade deadline. McCarron has one goal and four assists (five points) in 21 games this season.
Brodin is still on-pace to return to the Wild lineup later this week, but he was moved to IR this morning so the Wild could call-up Alex Tuch and Zack Mitchell from Iowa (AHL). Tyler Graovac is on waivers today, so when he’s sent down that will open a roster spot and when Brodin is ready to go then Gustav Olofsson will be sent down so Brodin can be activated.
Brodin has been out since January 17th because of a fractured finger, but he’s only expected to be sidelined for another week. Monitor his status leading into next Tuesday’s game vs. the Ducks.
Bogosian played just 5:33 TOI before leaving Thursday’s game with a rib issue. Bogosian will miss some time because of the injury, but luckily for the Sabres both Jake McCabe and Josh Gorges are set to return to the lineup on Saturday.
You should consider Petry as a game-time decision after he missed the morning due to an illness. If he can’t go then he will be replaced by either Greg Pateryn or Mark Barberio.
Brodin fractured his finger on Tuesday and after being evaluated it was determined that the Wild blueliner will miss at least one month. With Brodin out, Nate Prosser will draw into the lineup on Thursday.
Brodin will see a hand specialist on Wednesday and will miss a number of weeks, but they will determine whether it will be 2-3 weeks or four-plus weeks. Brodin’s absence leaves the Wild to replace nearly 20 minutes on the back-end; Nate Prosser will likely draw into the lineup on Thursday.
McCarron has one goal and three assists (four points) in 15 games with the Canadiens this season. McCarron played just 7:18 TOI in Saturday and will be replaced by Jacob De La Rose this afternoon.
Pitlick was hurt Monday in St. Louis and will miss the rest of the regular season with a torn ACL. Pitlick scored eight goals in 31 games and showed he was a capable NHL player, but his struggles with injuries continue.
Pitlick was hurt in Monday’s game in St. Louis and was seen postgame in a walking cast up to his thigh and on crutches. Right now, it doesn’t look good for him,” Oilers’ head coach Todd McLellan said postgame. Pitlick will be out until the Christmas break at the very least, so expect Jesse Puljujarvi or Taylor Beck to get back into the lineup on Wednesday.
Foligno missed both of the Blue Jackets’ games over the weekend because of an illness, but he was back on the ice this afternoon and should be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Foligno has had a great season to date, having scored 10 goals with 12 assists (22 points) in 24 games.
McCarron, 21, has picked up four goals and eight assists (12 points) in 21 games with St. John’s this season. He was called-up prior to Saturday’s game, but will not draw into the lineup vs. Colorado. He has one goal and one assist in 20 career NHL games.
Foligno is day-to-day with an illness and it will keep him out of the Blue Jackets' game tonight vs. the Red Wings. With Foligno out, Sam Gagner might get a look on the top line and Oliver Bjorkstrand is expected to draw into the lineup.
