TSN's Ice Chips:

Enforcer George Parros is off injured reserve after missing three games because of a bruised knee he suffered Jan. 9 against Toronto. To make room for Parros, Drew Miller was sent to the minors. - LA Times

In the nine games Phil Kessel has played on the top line, the right wing has put up 2 goals and 4 assists with a plus-3 rating, and added a shootout winner in Saturday's 4-3 victory over New York. In the 38 previous games, Kessel had been a team-worst minus-7. - Boston Globe

The Flames held an optional skate on Tuesday and most of the team skated. Jarome Iginla did not take part.

Anders Eriksson is out with a shoulder injury and Rhett Warrener will take his place. - TSN

Goaltender John Grahame has cleared re-entry waivers. - TSN

No one is more critical of Tuomo Ruutu's play than the winger himself. Despite the fact he has been a vital cog for a Blackhawks team riding high on a four-game winning streak, Ruutu is far from satisfied. "I don't think I'm doing too much out there right now," he said. "I'm not satisfied at all with the way I've played. I haven't scored a goal, [but] it's not just about goals. I have to be way better."

Martin Lapointe didn't practice Monday, and head coach Denis Savard said he's likely out until after the All-Star break with a bruised kidney. - Chicago Tribune

The Blue Jackets have placed Sergei Fedorov on injured reserve after he missed his second straight game Sunday with concussion-like symptoms. - Press release

Sergei Zubov (foot) had an MRI on Monday afternoon, and results are expected Tuesday. He is not expected to play against Columbus, and his participation in the All-Star Game this weekend is up in the air. ... D Mark Fistric, who was hit on the knee with a puck Sunday is fine for Tuesday's game. - Dallas Morning News

Red Wings' forward Henrik Zetterberg may miss Sunday's All-Star game to rest his back. Detroit's leading scorer sat out practice Monday and is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings. Zetterberg has missed five games this season (back ailment) and missed the final 19 last season (inflamed disc). - Detroit News

Panthers' defenceman Cory Murphy who has been sidelined with a shoulder injury for the past two months went through a full practice Monday and could play in Tuesday's game against the Senators. - Sun Sentinel

Defenceman Patrice Brisebois had an MRI on his left foot Monday where doctors found two broken bones. Brisebois says he'll suck up the pain so he can play. He could rest the foot but then he'd lose his game-shape which is something he'd rather avoid.

Mathieu Dandeneault will be a healthy scratch for Tuesday's game against the Bruins. It is the second time in two weeks he's found himself in that position. - TSN

Preds' forward David Legwand left Monday's game against the Blues in the first period with a lower leg injury. Coach Barry Trotz expects Legwansd to miss at least the next two games. - Tennessean

Defenceman Dan Boyle, who has had two wrist surgeries since the start of the season, could be back before the All-Star break. - Tampa Tribune

Head coach Paul Maurice left the ice a short time after practice had started to "go get a whistle." He emerged from the dressing room a short time later with MLSE President and CEO Richard Peddie.

Wowwww
I was just watching the end of the Kings game and beginning of Kings Live
THey had a preview of the Freeway Faceoff on Thursday

and
mannnn
Patrick O'Neil (Studio Guy) seemed just ohh sooo bitter when describing the Stanley Cup Champion Ducks and how theyve been owning them this year and how Teemu (O'Neil's not mine) will lead them (the Ducks) to another Stanley Cup.

He just had the most bitter and resentful tone in his voice.

It was great!!!
VICTORY!!!!
