TSN's Ice Chips:
George Parros sat out Sunday's game against San Jose with a bruised knee. He suffered the injury when he locked knees with Toronto's Wade Belak before their tussle on Jan. 9. Samuel Pahlsson missed his ninth straight game with an abdominal strain om Sunday night. He has not played since Dec. 22 with an inflamed and now strained abdomen. - LA Times
Forward Jim Slater skated for the second consecutive day on Saturday morning. His return from a groin injury is on schedule, with his main concern now getting back in hockey shape. Forward Eric Perrin missed his first game of the season after injuring his knee during Friday's practice. Slava Kozlov centered the second line in Perrin's place. Don Waddell said there was no structural damage to Perrin's knee, and he�s expected to play on Tuesday. - Atlanta Journal-Constitution
P.J. Axelsson will have an MRI Monday on his swollen foot. Dennis Wideman and Chuck Kobasew were given Sunday off to heal up minor injuries, while Jeremy Reich did not skate due to a swollen foot. Shawn Thornton was out sick. - Boston Globe
Eric Nystrom sat out Sunday's game with the Oilers after sustaining a broken jaw. His status is day-to-day. - TSN
With three days between games, the Hurricanes on Sunday sent flu-bug reinforcements Keith Aucoin, Tim Conboy and Brandon Nolan back to Albany (AHL) and activated Glen Wesley from injured reserve, where they had stashed the sick defenseman to open up a roster spot. Wesley should be back for Tuesday�s game at the Toronto Maple Leafs, as should Ray Whitney. - News Observer
Patrick Lalime will likely be rewarded with the start in goal for Chicago on Wednesday night against the Blues. "Patrick has played two strong games (his) last two games," coacn Denis Savard said. "He'll get another start." Andrei Zyuzin and David Koci were healthy scratches for Chicago on Sunday night. - Chicago Tribune
Fredrik Modin hopes to return to the Columbus lineup on Tuesday night against the Canucks. - Columbus Dispatch
Sergei Zubov may be back in the Stars lineup on Tuesday night when the team travels to Anaheim. Zubov has been experiencing ongoing foot and hand problems recently which forced him to sit out Saturday night's contest. Philippe Boucher is targeting the end of February for his return to the Dallas lineup. Jere Lehtinen is expected to return to the Stars lineup by the end of this month. He has resumed skating again after having hernia surgery in late December. Jussi Jokinen is skating again after being sidelined with a sprained knee. He is projected to return to the lineup sometime around the NHL's All-Star festivities on Jan. 27. - Dallas Morning News
The Wild placed defenceman Sean Hill on injured reserve Monday with a sprained ankle. Hill was hurt in Friday's game at Chicago. He has two assists and 11 shots on goal in 21 games for the Wild. He is minus-seven for the season. - Minnesota Wild
Darcy Hordichuk sustained a lower-leg injury in the team's 3-2 shootout loss to Chicago on Sunday night. Coach Barry Trotz said that he is 'very doubtful' for games against Calgary and Anaheim this week. - Tennessean
Doctors told John Madden there is no damage to the tendons in his right ankle, where he suffered a skate cut during Saturday night�s game against the Sabres in Buffalo. The injury will continue to be monitored over the next few days in an effort to prevent an infection, but Madden told The Star-Ledger he hopes to be able to play in Wednesday night's home game against the Islanders. GM Lou Lamoriello said left winger Jay Pandolfo (abdominal injury) took Sunday off after skating Saturday, but is 'on the upswing now.' Right winger Cam Janssen (shoulder surgery) will be examined by doctors early this week and is expected to be cleared to practice with the team. - The Star-Ledger
The Islanders recalled left wing Jeff Tambellini from Bridgeport of the American Hockey League prior to Sunday's game against the Ottawa Senators. - NY Islanders
Goaltender Cristobal Huet will start against the New York Islanders at Nassau Coliseum on Tuesday.
Rangers forward Brendan Shanahan missed the game with various ailments related to a knee injury he sustained last week. He said a sore hamstring and hip were from overcompensating for the knee. Rangers Coach Tom Renney said he expected him back for Monday's game at Pittsburgh. - New York Times
Patrick Eaves will play Tuesday in Washington after missing 24 games with a separated shoulder. Jason Spezza, who missed the last forty minutes of Sunday's game against the Islanders, will likely play. With Dany Heatley out, coach John Paddock may rotate the left wing spot on the top line. Ray Emery will start in goal on Tuesday. - TSN
Sharks defenceman Kyle McLaren was placed on the injured reserve list Sunday and will miss at least four games because of a lingering knee problem. McLaren skipped several practices over the past two weeks because of swelling in his left knee. McLaren is not expected to undergo surgery while on injured reserve. - Mercury News
Taylor Pyatt was hit in the face by the puck in Sunday's 4-3 win over St. Louis. Pyatt left the game late in the first period and did not return. "It took longer than we expected to stitch him up, and his teeth are sort of in the back of his mouth right now," coach Alain Vigneault said. "Until they take an X-ray, there's not much you can tell." Mason Raymond was reassigned to the AHL on Sunday. He had three goals and seven assists in 23 games with Vancouver this season. - TSN
Chris Clark, who suffered a severely strained groin muscle on Nov. 28 and has missed the past 18 games, returned to action on Sunday. Also back in the lineup was defenceman Tom Poti. - Washington Post

One game....One freaking game...and it's on the east coast. Mr. Gary Bettman, I know you'd like to hype Sidney Crosby, but how about at least making it a doubleheader? You aren't competing against any other sports right now for air time! Now is the chance! I'm not asking for much but there is a Western half to North America as well that would be interested in seeing a game hosted in one of the 8 NHL cities located west of the central time zone. Your vaunted East coast fans might not want to stay up as late, but maybe us out in the west don't want to sit around and do nothing all evening.
Should be a good game, i'll have some popcorn ready.
