Tarik El-Bashir is reporting in his blog that Alexander Semin is "hoping" to be back for the game tonight. Tomas Fleischmann is hoping to be back Tuesday.
Tyler Kennedy could return to the PIT lineup tonight.
Sergei Gonchar was back on the ice yesterday. He will still need at least 10 more weeks to recover – probably 15. Expect him back in early to mid-March.
The Habs are hoping to have Carey Price back between the pipes on Sunday.
Matt D'Agostini was pointless and a minus-3 last night, which may see him back to the minors. Meanwhile, Max Pacioretty played in his first NHL game and scored his first goal. His ice time was 8:39. You may see him stay up and D'Agostini go down.
In his eighth game since his return, Andy Greene finally notched a point for the Devils.
Steve Sullivan and the Preds will discuss a timetable for his return. He is feeling good after practicing for a few weeks and he could be playing games within three weeks.
The Panthers sent Cory Murphy to Rochester for conditioning.
The Sabres returned Nate Gerbe to Portland.
