Reaves will miss four weeks with a broken hand.

Reaves has been more known as the energy guy who pumps up home crowd with bone-crunching hits and dropping the gloves than his scoring ability. He had started carving out a permanent role in the Blues lineup, but will now sit for a month and give way to Magnus Paajarvi.

Skinner has been bumped to the third line after just one game on the tip-line.

Skinner played 17:56 with two shots in his first game back from an upper-body injury. Skinner skated with Eric Staal for the first time in his career, but he has already been dropped to the third line with rookie Elias Lindholm and veteran Radek Dvorak for this afternoon's contest.

Skinner (upper-body) has been activated off of IR and the Hurricanes say he will play tonight vs. Detroit.

Skinner, 21, has missed the Hurricanes’ last 11 games with an upper body injury sustained in the team’s game on October 24 at Minnesota. Prior to suffering the injury, Skinner led the Hurricanes in scoring with nine points (3G / 6A) in 10 games, and his plus-5 rating ranks first on the team. He is expected to skate on the top-line with Eric Staal and Jiri Tlusty.

Skinner has missed the last 11 games but appears to be nearing a return. He has been skating with his team for nearly a week, so Thursday vs. the Red Wings seems like a possibility. Despite playing 11 less games, his nine points (3G / 6A) still ranks third on the team, just three points behind Staal. Monitor his status during Thursday's morning skate.

Price starts for the Habs.

Price allowed one goal on 34 shots in a 1-0 loss to the Rangers on Saturday. It was his second straight loss and fifth in his last six starts. However he has posted a 2.17 GAA and a .930 SV% in that span, so it is not his fault the Habs are not winning. He draws a tough assignment vs. Josh Harding tonight.
