TSN's Ice Chips
The Ducks' fourth line of Bobby Ryan, Ryan Carter and George Parros have picked up four goals and six assists in their last five games heading into Friday's battle with the Oilers. - Orange County Register
Teemu Selanne needs to play in one more game to reach 1,100, when he hits the mark he will rank 137th on the all-time list. - LA Daily News
Marco Sturm returned to the ice on Thursday against the Maple Leafs after missing 12 games (concussion-like symptoms). - Boston Herald
The Sabres recalled defenceman Chris Butler from Portland of the AHL. The team also placed Nathan Gerbe on injured reserve (upper body injury) and expect him to be out two weeks. - Buffalo News
The Flames had a team meeting and did have the option of skating or having a light work out. Players who needed it received treatment. Six Flames hit the ice - Andre Roy, Mark Giordano, Adam Pardy, Dustin Boyd, Eric Nystrom and Curtis McElhinney. - TSN
Carolina's OT win over the Panthers on Thursday gave the team its first back-to-back wins since Nov. 21. - News Observer
Rod Brind'Amour picked up his 700th career assist on Thursday. - Herald-Sun
The Blackhawks' fourth (Colin Fraser, Ben Eager, Craig Adams) has impressed head coach Joel Quenneville. "They've been good all year for me," he explained. - Daily Herald Times
Marek Svatos (back spasms) is not sure if he will be able to play on Sunday. He has missed four games. - Rocky Mountain News
Fredrik Norrena's career with the team ended Thursday after he cleared unconditional waivers and his contract was terminated. Norrena was the odd man out due to the great play from rookie Steve Mason and Pascal Leclaire. The goaltender has said he will sign with the KHL in Russia. - Columbus Dispatch
General manager Scott Howson said Ole-Kristian Tollefsen will have arthroscopic knee surgery on Friday. The defenceman was injured in practice on Tuesday. Andrew Murray (upper body) will not play in Saturday's contest with the Coyotes. - Columbus Dispatch
The team called up centre Mike York from their AHL affiliate on Friday and assigned defenceman Clay Wilson to the Syracuse Crunch. - Transaction Wire
The team announced Thursday that defenseman Sergei Zubov will undergo surgery on his hip in January, and will be out indefinitely. - Media Release
Head coach Craig MacTavish had the blender out after two losses. All new lines at practice on Thursday and again Friday. Notable: Shawn Horcoff, Ales Hemsky and Dustin Penner were split up despite their solid numbers lately. Penner moved to off wing despite 11 pts in last 12 games. - TSN
Marian Gaborik scored a goal and picked up an assist on Thursday night after missing 27 games (lower body). "Gaborik is Gaborik," head coach Jacques Lemaire said after the game. "That's what he is. ... He played even better than I thought he would." - Pioneer Press
Goaltender Carey Price took part in his first full practice since suffering a lower body injury last Wednesday. He says he feels 90 per cent healed but head coach Guy Carbonneau says Price will not play on Saturday. Price may be ready for Sunday and says he'd like to get in at least one start before Christmas. Doctors say there is no damage to Andrei Kostitsyn after he collided with Scott Hartnell, but Kostitsyn will miss the Canadiens' game on Saturday and possibly Sunday's game as well. - TSN
J.P. Dumont has eight points in his last nine games. - Tennessean
Ilya Zubov skated Thursday as an extra winger on the line with Ruutu-Spezza-Neil. He is having visa problems, so Cody Bass has been recalled. Brian Lee was sent back to the AHL after practice. Anton Volchenkov (lower body) will play Friday in New Jersey, but Dean McAmmond won't (pneumonia). Jesse Winchester did not skate for a second consecutive day. On Wednesday, coach Craig Hartsburg said Winchester was dealing with bumps and bruises. Alex Auld will start in goal Friday. - TSN
Head coach Michel Therrien hopes Ryan Whitney (foot surgery) will return before the Christmas break. - Post Gazette
Jeremy Roenick stated in a radio interview on Tuesday that he's out for 8-10 weeks after arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder. - TSN
The team announced Friday that Eric Brewer had successful surgery on a herniated disc in his back. He will be sidelined indefinitely. - Media Release
The team put Jussi Jokinen on waivers Friday. - TSN
Sami Salo is going on injured reserve with a broken rib and will miss four weeks. He suffered the injury on Wednesday night. Shane O'Brien suffered a charlie horse on Wednesday. Head coach Alain Vigneault believes he will be available for Saturday. No call ups as the Canucks currently have two extra defencemen on the roster, Rob Davison and Lawrence Nycholat. - TSN
Jose Theodore was activated off the injured reserve list on Friday. - Associated Press
