At 6-foot-2 and 210 lbs., Hertl is a great skater who is not afraid to go to the dirty areas and put the puck in the net. Skating on a line with Joe Thornton and Brent Burns all preseason Hertl has scored three goals with one assist and is a plus-3 in three games. Should he make the roster and stick in the San Jose top-six, he will become fantasy relevant. Keep his name in mind towards the end of your draft.

Theodore was the 26th overall pick in the NHL draft last June. He has one assist in his first three preseason games with Anaheim during training camp. He played more than 22 minutes Sunday against Colorado, leading all Ducks in ice time. Theodore scored 50 points in 71 games with the WHL's Seattle Thunderbirds last season. He also played for Canada at the under-18 world championships.

Pietrangelo, 23, dressed in 47 games last season, leading the Blues’ defense with 24 points (five goals and 19 assists) while ranking 13th in ice time per game (25:06) among all National Hockey League (NHL) defensemen. Since his first full season in 2010, Pietrangelo is tied for sixth among all defensemen in points (118), ranks 10th in goals (28), tied for ninth in assists (90) and slots 15th in plus/minus (+34) while he became the youngest defenseman in Blues history to record back-to-back 40-plus point seasons in 2010-11 (43) and 2011-12 (51).

Senators coach Paul MacLean wanted a bigger body around the opposing net -- something the 6-foot-2, 188-pound Stone can provide. Due to his previous experience with Spezza, Stone is expected to flank the veteran center on the right, with Milan Michalek skating on the left. The move has made Cory Conacher the odd-man out. Stone had 38 points in 54 games in the AHL this season.

Pietrangelo missed the Blues last game with the flu but he is expected to return to the lineup tonight vs. the Canucks. He is one of the best young defensemen in the NHL. He has five goals and 13 assists in 27 games this season.

Late scratch for the Blues.

Hopefully this is the boost the Blues need to get back into the series.

Same old day-to-day, upper body story from the Blues coaches on the hit by Dwight King. Keep an eye on him before the game.

McNabb gets another look with the team. He scored a goal and five points in his first 21 games with the Sabres.

McNabb goes back to the AHL with seven healthy d-men and Tyler Myers back from a suspension. The rookie scored a goal and five points in 21 games.

McNabb gets another look this season. He scored a goal and five points in 20 games.

Pietrangelo clearly deserves to be the Blues' number one defender. Through 57 games he now has 10 goals and 34 points.

McNabb likely needs some conditioning before coming back up.

Placing McNabb on IR frees up a roster spot. The rookie has a goal and five points through 20 games. He can come off IR at any time.

McNabb will likely need a week or two or practice before getting back into the lineup. The rookie has a goal and five points through 20 games.

Mcnabb was playing on the top pairing before getting hurt but may see the AHL for conditioning purposes. The rookie has a goal and five points through 20 games.

Pietrangelo continues to man the top defense in hockey, playing in all situations.

The rookie scored a goal and five points in 20 games before getting hurt. He will be replaced by Joe Finley on the blue line.

Expect the rookie blue liner to get back on the blue line tonight. He has no fantasy hockey value as a player still looking for his first NHL point.
