Coleman missed the last four games with an upper-body injury but will play Tuesday vs. the Penguins. Coleman has been held pointless in his last six games but has a quality campaign, scoring 18 goals on 155 shots (11.6 SH%) with 11 assists (29 points) in 55 games.

Gambrell has not recorded a point in six games with the Sharks this season. He returns to the AHL where he has 11 goals and 17 assists (28 points) in 31 games.

Pickard allowed four goals on 46 shots in the Coyotes 5-2 loss in Nashville on February 5th. Pickard has lost both of his starts with Arizona, allowing a combined six goals on 70 shots (.914 SV%). Tonight he faces a Flames team that is dangerous offensively but come in as losers of five of their last seven.




Bogosian missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but will return to the lineup against the Rangers. Bogosian has 13 points (2G / 11A), a minus-3 rating and 42 PIMS in 49 games this season.

Coleman was a bit of a surprising scratch on Tuesday and will miss his second straight game on Thursday. Nick Lappin will remain in the Devils lineup with Coleman sidelined.




Gambrell missed the morning skate and is questionable to play Monday in Vancouver. Lukas Radil will draw into the lineup for Gambrell and skate on the fourth line if he can't play.



Pickard stopped 22 of 24 shots in the Coyotes loss in Montreal on January 23rd. With Darcy Kuemper starting and getting hurt last night, Pickard will start the second-game of their back-to-back tonight in Nashville. He draws a tough assignment in Nashville—the Predators have won three of their last four and are 16-10-0 on home-ice.

Pitlick was originally expected to miss two weeks but underwent surgery this week and will miss at least two more months. This essentially ends Pitlick’s season but would put him on target to play in the playoffs if the Stars qualify.

Pitlick has missed the last two games and is expected to miss at least two more weeks. With Pitlick out until mid-February, expect Denis Gurianov to remain with the big club.

Pitlick was hurt vs. the Kings on January 17th and missed their game vs. the Jets on the 19th. Pitlick’s move to IR opened up a roster spot for the Stars to recall Roope Hintz from Texas (AHL).

Pickard will make his first start in a Coyotes uniform and will play behind a tired and injury riddled team on the tail-end of a back-to-back. Pickard had a tough time in Philadelphia this season, going 4-2-2 with a 4.01 GAA and .863 SV%. In an extended fantasy week, you could probably leave Pickard on the waiver wire in the final night before the All-Star break.
