Shadow of the Ducks
Posted 01 December 2009 - 01:39 PM
Since my pal DTP seems to be on the shelf with an upper body injury, here are today's Ice Chips:
QUOTE
Anaheim Ducks: The team placed F Erik Christensen on waivers Tuesday. He has zero points in nine games for the Ducks this season. - TSN
Ottawa: D Anton Volchenkov returns to the lineup Tuesday in San Jose for the first time since he dislocated his right elbow Oct. 28. Brian Elliott gets the start for Ottawa. Chris Campoli will be a healthy scratch for the Senators. - TSN
Vancouver: Centre Alexandre Bolduc and defenceman Aaron Rome were reassigned to the Manitoba Moose of the AHL on Monday. - Media Release
Montreal: Scott Gomez is expected to play Tuesday vs. Toronto. Matt D'Agostini will also return Tuesday after suffering a concussion and knee injury in Chicago 16 games ago. - TSN
Hal Gill and Andrei Kostitsyn took part in the full skate on Tuesday for the first time since both suffered foot injuries, but neither will play vs. Toronto. Georges Laraque (suspension) and Jay Leach are Montreal's other scratches. - TSN
Tuesday's Projected Lines vs. Maple Leafs
Forwards:
Cammalleri - Plekanec - S. Kostitsyn
Pacioretty - Gomez - Moen
Pyatt - Lapierre - White
Chipchura - Metropolit - D'Agostini
Toronto: D Carl Gunnarson left Monday's game with an upper body injury, and is questionable for Tuesday's match in Montreal. He got hit awkwardly along the end boards by Clarke MacArthur and was clutching his shoulder. - TSN
Garnet Exelby, Jeff Finger, Rickard Wallin, and John Mitchell (knee) are Toronto's scratches vs. Montreal. - TSN
Tuesday's Projected Lines vs. Canadiens
Forwards:
Ponikarovsky - Stajan - Kessel
Hagman - Grabovski - Hanson
Kulemin - Primeau - Stempniak
Blake - Mayers - Orr
Defencemen:
Beauchemin - White
Kaberle - Komisarek
Schenn - Gunnarson (questionable)
Goaltenders:
Gustavsson
MacDonald
Edmonton: Sam Gagner had a swollen lymph node in his neck and had a biopsy done as a precaution but expectation is he'll be fine. - TSN
Shawn Horcoff didn't practice Monday (shoulder) but head coach Pat Quinn expects him to be ready by Thursday's game in Detroit. - Edmonton Sun
Atlanta: D Boris Valabik is back but is still waiting to make his season debut for the Thrashers. He was scratched for Monday’s game against Florida after returning from a two-week conditioning stint with AHL Chicago. - Atlanta Journal Constitution
Boston: Sources tell TSN that Marc Savard has agreed with the Bruins on a seven-year contract extension with a cap hit of about $4.2 million per season. - TSN
Buffalo: Patrick Kaleta was handed a two-game suspension Saturday for his boarding major on the Flyers' Jared Ross. The hit during Friday's game earned Kaleta a game misconduct, while Ross didn't return. - NHL Release
Carolina: D Joe Corvo suffered a laceration of his lower right leg from the skate of Capitals defenceman Karl Alzner during a collision in the first period of Monday's game. He is expected to miss 8-12 weeks of action. - Team Release
F Scott Walker (upper body) missed his eighth straight game on Monday while F Chad LaRose (lower body) missed his second straight. - Herald-Sun
Colorado: F Milan Hejduk did not play, nor did he skate Monday. But head coach Joe Sacco said Hejduk may practice Tuesday at the Bank Atlantic Center, and the Avs expect him to play before their five-game road trip is over. - Denver Post
Defenceman Tom Preissing cleared waivers on Monday. - TSN
Columbus: D Rostislav Klesla suffered tears to both his groin and stomach muscles in Monday's game against the Blues and will be out six weeks. Surgery is an option for the stomach tear. He was hurt during a collision with Barret Jackman. The team added D Mathieu Roy to the roster on emergency recall from Syracuse (AHL). - TSN
F Derek Dorsett (concussion) is likely to miss at least two more games. D Marc Methot (upper body) will be out at lest one more game. F Andrew Murray, out since Oct. 20 (shoulder), could return to the lineup as early as Thursday against Toronto. - Columbus Dispatch
Detroit: Patrick Eaves (ankle) was scratched Monday. Kirk Maltby played on the fourth line with Justin Abdelkader and Brad May . Drew Miller took Eaves' spot on the third line with Darren Helm and Kris Draper . - Detroit News
Florida: G Tomas Vokoun suffered no internal or neurological damage when he was hit with teammate Keith Ballard's stick Monday in Atlanta. Head Coach Peter DeBoer said he doesn't see Vokoun, who received stitches in his ear, being out very long. - Team Release
Minnesota: It appeared as though D Brent Burns (concussion) worked out Monday, which typically indicated that a concussed player is symptom-free. The Wild would only say concussed Burns, Petr Sykora and Pierre-Marc Bouchard "are at different stages in their recovery." - Star Tribune
NJD: D Johnny Oduya, out with a lower body injury, is apparerently not ready to return to full practice. Colin White was also absent on Monday and the team said he was "resting." - Star Ledger
NYI: A mid-December timetable is now seen for goalie Rick DiPietro's return to the NHL. - Newsday
NYR: Enver Lisin was dressed on Saturday but spent the game anchored to the bench, a rarity in the NHL. He had no points in 12 games coming in and has had his ice time whittled away to fourth-line duty after getting time on the top line with Marian Gaborik and Vinny Prospal. - Newsday
Philadelphia:
Jared Ross, who suffered a concussion in a collision with Buffalo's Patrick Kaleta on Friday, was cleared to play on Sunday and should be ready for Thursday's game against Vancouver if needed. Kaleta received a two-game suspension for the incident. - Philadelphia Inquirer
Danny Briere was back at practice Monday and will return to the lineup Thursday against visiting Vancouver. - Philadelphia Inquirer
Phoenix: D Ed Jovanovski (lower body) and RW Peter Mueller (upper body) were scratched from Sunday's game against Anaheim. They both left Friday's game against Dallas because of the injuries. - Arizona Republic
SJS: Thomas Greiss will start in goal for the Sharks against Ottawa on Tuesday. - TSN
The team has placed LW Jody Shelley on injured-reserve. He has missed the past 10 games with what was originally described as general soreness. - Mercury News
STL: Forward Patrik Berglund is expected to be in the lineup on Monday while Brad Winchester will be out. Defenceman Jonas Junland was recalled and could play for Carlo Colaiacovo (lower-body). Defenceman Eric Brewer (lower body) has been placed on IR, but he's considered day to day. - St. Louis Post-Disptach
TBL: D Mattias Ohlund returned to the lineup Monday against Colorado after missing seven games with an ankle/foot injury, and D Mike Lundin was reassigned to AHL Norfolk. - Tampa Tribune
Washington: Alex Ovechkin has been suspended two games by the league for his knee-on-knee hit on Carolina's Tim Gleason. In terms of the injury that Ovechkin suffered on the play, he tested it before practice on Tuesday and the team said afterward that he is day-to-day with a sore knee. - TSN
