MacArthur moves down to the Grabovski line. Through 67 games, he scored 19 goals and 39 points.
Early indications are Craig Anderson could make his return from the hand injury Friday night vs. Habs. #nhl #sens
Anderson owners should be prepared to activate the starting goalie for tomorrow's game.
If Craig Anderson is going to play Friday, he'd better be able to start handling the puck. Didn't in practice Monday. @Steve_Lloyd
Sounds like Friday may be too ambitious of a return date. Anderson last played on February 22nd after cutting his hand.
Callahan, Del Zotto, Erixon in the lineup
Del Zotto gets back into the lineup tonight after not skating this morning. Through 65 games, he has seven goals and 35 points.
So based on that information, it's more likely that Anderson's first game back will be Friday @ MTL.
Sounds like Anderson misses another six days of action. Expect Ben Bishop to remain between the pipes until then.
Anderson practices again, MacLean won't speculate on possible return by Tuesday. #sens
Anderson continues to progress but won't play tonight and may not be ready for Tuesday. Keep a close eye on his progress over the upcoming games.
#NYR optional: DZ (right hip) not skating.
Del Zotto probably won't play tonight after not skating. Through 65 games, he has seven goals and 35 points.
Line Change
The Blue Jackets are goalless in their past 29 power plays and could move center Derick Brassard back to the point on the power play on Saturday against Vancouver.
Look for Brassard to move to the point on the top PP unit. Twelve of his 32 points have come with the man advantage.
@HLundqvist30, and @MichaelDelZotto all out there taking part
Del Zotto practicing is a good sign but he might not play this weekend. Through 65 games, he has seven goals and 35 points.
