TSN finally with a confirmed Luongo update. He is listed as week-to-week with an adductor strain.

 

Toronto has traded Alex Steen and Carlo Coliaicovo to St. Louis for Lee Stempniak. Analysis to come…

 

Carolina's first round pick in 2008 and the 113th ranked prospect on my Fantasy Prospects list Zach Boychuk will be the third guest on Wednesday's Dobber Nation radio show. Andrew Walker will also be interviewing JP from Japer's Rink and Justin Goldman, who penned today's "A New Empire's Birth ". Direct any questions to dobbernation @dobberhockey .com

 

There is no word on how long Mike Smith will be on the shelf for, but given that Kolzig was yanked, it would appear that Kari Ramo will get some starts under his belt. Smith has a lower body injury and the team is playing it down, calling it 'day to day'.

 

Both Jones and Hornqvist picked up points in their AHL game Saturday, giving them points in both of the games they have played down there. They will play one more and at that point the Preds will consider recalling one of them.

 

Scott Clemmensen has won three straight games and is poised to be the undisputed starter in NJ while the big man is sidelined. If so, there is a potential for 25 wins from this guy – who would have thought? He is 3-2 now, but allowed just two goals in each of his two losses.

 

Tarik El-Bashir reports in his blog that Mike Green will not play tonight and is shooting for Friday's game. Alexander Semin will also probably miss tonight's contest. Green skated yesterday, but his injury is to his shoulder.

Nathan Gerbe (BUF), ranked 48th in my Fantasy Prospects list, has 12 goals and 22 points in 16 AHL games. That's good for fifth in scoring and tops among rookies.

 

Tim Kennedy, another BUF prospect (ranked 62) has 21 AHL points.

 

Other interesting AHL observations (my prospect rank in brackets):

Janne Pesonen, PIT (99th) 21 points in 18 games
Oskar Osala, WAS (221st) 17 points in 20 games (13 of them goals)
Claude Giroux, PHI (9th) 17 in 20
Artem Anisimov, NYR (79th) 18 in 18
Petri Kontiola, CHI (78th) 17 in 18
Ryan Potulny, EDM (136th) 16 in 17
Rob Schremp, EDM (37th) 16 in 15
Francois Bouchard, WAS (36th) 14 in 16

Brett Sterling, ATL (56th), 4 in 7 and three in his last three
Brett MacLean, PHO (43rd) 10 in 19 (actually leads San Antonio)
