The Latest on the Maple Leafs Projected Lines vs. Washington
Kyle Wellwood took part in his first morning skate since undergoing sports hernia surgery six weeks ago and says he should be ready to play by next Tuesday.
Maurice says he will play Tucker a little more in the early going to guage how many minutes he is ready to handle, mixing and matching Tucker and Antropov on Sundin's RW. After that Tucker will settle into a line with Battaglia and Pohl.
Maurice reports no further negative or ominous signs in Tomas Kaberle's recovery. However, he likened Kaberle's first few days as driving from Oakville to Etobicoke in 20 minutes, then getting bogged down on the Gardiner because ice is falling from the CN Tower. You just can't predict what'll happen down the road. - TSN

The Latest on the Canucks
Roberto Luongo will be rested either Thursday or Friday, but Alain Vigneault wasn't divulging which it would be before he informs Dany Sabourin. "If I was a betting man I'd say Sabou is going to get a game before the end of week," Vigneault said. - Vancouver Province


Around The League:

The Latest from Chicago
Jason Williams broke his left big toe blocking a shot on Sunday and is day-to-day. If the swelling goes down and Williams can deal with the pain and put a skate on, he might return as soon as Saturday at Phoenix. To replace Williams, the Hawks recalled 20-year-old center Dave Bolland from Norfolk. - Daily Herald Times


The Latest from Columbus
Coach Ken Hitchcock said yesterday that Adam Foote will be off his feet for a week and then be re-evaluated. The team is still sticking to a two-to-four week prognosis. Hitchcock also said center Alexander Svitov (minor concussion) will be out Wednesday but should return to practice Thursday and might play over the weekend. - Columbus Dispatch


The Latest from Detroit
The Red Wings found out they'll be without forward Tomas Holmstrom for at least a couple of games because of what coach Mike Babcock termed an upper-body injury. They're already missing Henrik Zetterberg (back), Dan Cleary (knee), Mikael Samuelsson (foot), newcomer Todd Bertuzzi (back) and No. 1 goalie Dominik Hasek (thigh). The Wings called up right wing Darryl Bootland from Grand Rapids on Monday. - Detroit Free Press


The Latest from Florida
Coach Jacques Martin said backup goalie Alex Auld will have surgery Wednesday to repair an injured knee. Auld will be sidelined four to eight weeks. Martin said he has no plans to rest Belfour, 41, who registered his 16th 20-win season in Saturday's 6-2 win over Tampa Bay. - Sun Sentinel


The Latest from Minnesota
Manny Fernandez is expected to be in uniform for the Wild's game against San Jose tonight, but coach Jacques Lemaire said Monday that Niklas Backstrom will start in goal. Mark Parrish is expected to return after a one-game absence. - Star Tribune


The Latest from Nashville
The Predators probably will be without Peter Forsberg (upper body), Steve Sullivan (back spasms) and Scott Hartnell (foot). Centres Jason Arnott and David Legwand, both of whom missed Sunday's game, are hoping to return to action tonight. - Tennessean


The Latest from New York Rangers
The Rangers lost Marcel Hossa to a knee injury last night. He will be evaluated today. - New York Times

The Latest from San Jose
Patrick Marleau (upper body) hasn't played since Feb. 26 but skated in Monday's optional practice. He is questionable. G Vesa Toskala (groin) and F Mark Smith (groin) are out for the game against the Wild. - San Jose Mercury News


The Latest from Washington
Brent Johnson will start against the Maple Leafs on Tuesday. - TSN

[Dark Knight]

Pittsburgh at one point down 1-4 wins in OT/SO in Ottawa by 5-4...

Nashville and Detroit into OT/SO where Detroit wins... 4-3...

[Duckbill]

Pens comeback from being 3 down as late as halfway through the 3rd period to win in a shootout 5-4. Anyone who listened in to this game wishes Jordan Staal was on their Penalty Kill. Of course i'd rather have Erik Christensen, because with him on our roster we'd do way better in shootouts. Crosby plays terrible for the entire 65 minutes until he schools Emery to earn the 2 points.
