Still a rollercoaster ride. Sigh ... Go Ducks!
Posted 10 January 2010 - 01:40 PM
TSN's Ice Chips
Teemu Selanne returned to the line-up Saturday after missing five weeks because of injury. To make room for him, George Parros was put on injured reserve retroactive to Dec. 31 in order for the team to avoid sending a player down to the minors. - Orange County Register
C Marc Savard will miss 3-4 weeks with a Grade 2 partial MCL tear in his right knee. He will not require surgery. The team recalled Trent Whitfield from Providence (AHL) on an emergency basis. - Team Release
Mark Stuart will travel with the Bruins to the West Coast this week in hopes of seeing his first action since breaking his sternum Dec. 14. Byron Bitz (back) missed his second straight game Saturday, but head coach Claude Julien estimated that Bitz would be ready for Anaheim Wednesday. - Boston Globe
Cam Barker missed his third consecutive game with an upper-body injury. The defenceman hasn't played since leaving the Hawks' 5-2 victory Jan. 3 over the Ducks. Barker participated in the Hawks' morning skate Saturday but isn't likely to play Sunday night against the Ducks at the United Center. - Chicago Tribune
The team was without captain Adam Foote against the Sabres on Saturday after the veteran defenceman traveled back to Denver so team doctors could evaluate the ankle injury he suffered against Carolina on Friday. - Denver Post
Dallas placed D Nicklas Grossman on IR on Sunday retroactive to Jan. 6 and called up D Maxime Fortunus from Texas (AHL). - Dallas Morning News
Johan Franzen continues to skate with the team at every practice, though he's not due back until late February. He hasn't given up on finding a way to play on the Swedish Olympic team. - Detroit Free Press
Head Coach Pete DeBoer said David Booth will rejoin the team Monday in South Florida after a week of working out with a skating instructor at Michigan State. Booth, the Panthers leading goal scorer last season, has been out with a concussion since Oct. 24. - Miami Herald
Against Chicago, coach Todd Richards scratched veteran Petr Sykora for a second consecutive game for minor-league callup Robbie Earl. "It's nothing against Petr," Richards said. "[Earl] provides some speed and energy, he's good on the forecheck and good on loose pucks. He's one of those guys who goes into the corner and he's physical. He's got different elements than Petr. - Star Tribune
D Ryan O'Byrne missed his fourth game on Saturday while dealing with a family matter in British Columbia. He's expected to re-join the team Sunday. - Globe and Mail
The team assigned F Ryan White back to Hamilton of the AHL on Sunday. - Media Release
Nashville was without captain Jason Arnott (upper body) and versatile Joel Ward (wrist) on Saturday. D Francis Bouillon also missed the game with flu-like symptoms. F Martin Erat returned to the ice after missing four games with a knee strain suffered Dec. 29 at St. Louis. - Nashville Tennessean
Head Coach Scott Gordon opted for Dwayne Roloson in goal on Saturday. Rick DiPietro was the healthy scratch in Phoenix with Martin Biron as the backup for Roloson. After sitting out the previous 10 games as a healthy scratch, D Freddy Meyer returned to the line-up. Meyer, who had not played since Dec. 17 against the Rangers, replaced Brendan Witt. - Newsday
F Jesse Winchester is expected to miss at least one month with a knee injury suffered on Saturday night. Winchester went down awkwardly after colliding with Panthers D Keith Ballard in the second period of the game. He needed to be helped off the ice and did not return. Defenceman Filip Kuba also left Saturday's game after appearing to jam his wrist in the third period. He did not return to the game and is listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury. - TSN
Shean Donovan and Alexandre Picard (healthy scratches) will be back in the lineup against Carolina Sunday night. - TSN
Pascal Leclaire will get the start in goal versus the Hurricanes. - TSN
G Ray Emery will rejoin the Flyers on Sunday after playing a conditioning game for the Adirondack Phantoms (AHL) on Saturday. He had 12 saves in a 2-1 loss to Portland. - Philadelphia Inquirer
D Brooks Orpik played only three shifts against Toronto on Saturday before leaving the game. The Penguins announced even before the period had concluded that Orpik wouldn't return, which was perhaps an indication that the injury could be serious. - Tribune Review
F Andy McDonald did not play in the third period on Saturday because of a lower-body injury. D Darryl Sydor was a healthy scratch for the second straight game, and F Paul Kariya missed his sixth straight game with a concussion. - St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Defenceman Mike Komisarek will miss at least a week to 10 days minimum with what is believed to be an injured shoulder.
Injured defenceman Carl Gunnarsson could return Thursday against the Flyers. - TSN
The Canucks have re-assigned defenceman Evan Oberg to the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League. With the Moose this season he has played 33 games registering 13 points (1-12-13) and 26 penalty minutes. He leads all Moose defencemen in scoring. - Media Release
D John Erskine suffered an undisclosed injury and did not play again after his first shift in the third period on Saturday against Atlanta. Tyler Sloan and Quintin Laing were healthy scratches. - Washington Post

The NHL announced on Saturday that the game between the teams -- postponed on Friday following a 1 hour and 42 minute delay because of a faulty circuit breaker that turned the lights off behind Devils goalie Martin Brodeur with 9:12 remaining in the second period -- will resume Sunday at 6 p.m. (ET). Doors will open at 5 p.m.
The game will pick up with 9:12 remaining in the second and the Lightning holding a 3-0 lead, despite being outshot, 20-7. All tickets from Friday's contest will be honored at Sunday's continuation and fans will be entitled to a free ticket to a future game, according to a statement posted on the Devils' Web site.
