Still a rollercoaster ride. Sigh ... Go Ducks!

TSN's Ice Chips
Forward Craig Conroy skated with the team on Tuesday and declared himself ready to go for Wednesday. Brent Sutter said an official decision on Conroy's status would be made on Wednesday. Conroy has missed the last five games with a lower body injury. Jamie Lundmark was assigned to the minors, while defenceman Staffan Kronwall was placed on waivers on Tuesday. - TSN
Around The League
Erik Cole and Chad LaRose, who each has missed 15 games, are close to returning from injuries and are travelling with the team. Sergei Samsonov, out the last five games, also is on the trip and may play Thursday. - TSN
Dave Bolland took a big step-and skate-in his recovery from back surgery, hitting the ice Tuesday for the first time since the Nov. 10 procedure to repair a herniated disc that has plagued him for two seasons. Bolland said he is on track to play before the Feb. 15 Olympics break. He will continue skating and could begin practicing during the eight-game road trip, which begins Saturday in Columbus. - Chicago Sun Times
Winger Marian Hossa (upper-body) and defenceman Cam Barker (lower-body) could return to the lineup Thursday when they face the Blue Jackets. - Chicago Sun Times
Defenceman Adam Foote is expected to be out one to two weeks with an ankle injury, suffered Saturday at Carolina. He was examined Monday by the medical staff and the prognosis was made - retroactive to Saturday. Defenceman Brett Clark (cheekbone) could be back on Saturday. - Denver Post
Forward Jason Williams’ return is on the horizon. He suffered a broken right fibula Nov. 7 and has begun taking part in drills. - Detroit Free Press
Nikolai Khabibulin will undergo surgery Thursday in Los Angeles to repair a herniated disc. According to The Canadian Press he will be out indefinitely and there is no timeline for his recovery. - Edmonton Oilers Site/CP
Nathan Horton (bumps and bruises), David Booth (concussion), Dmitry Kulikov (knee) and Kenndal McArdle (shoulder) all skated during the first 20 minutes of practice on Tuesday, but did not take any contact. Horton should be in the lineup against the Capitals on Wednesday while head coach Peter DeBoer said he does not have a timetable for when Booth would start taking contact in practice. Kulikov and McArdle could be back next week. - Miami Herald
Forward Sergei Kostitsyn has not been skating and will not play in games through this weekend. His ankle has not healed as quickly as expected and he remains day-to-day. - TSN
General manager Lou Lamoriello said injured right winger David Clarkson is not yet skating. The team is hoping he'll be back on skates by the end of the week. Clarkson played only two games after coming back from a fractured right leg. - Star Ledger
The team fired goaltending coach Eli Wilson on Wednesday. - TSN
Danny Syvret suffered a separated shoulder on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars and will be placed on longterm IR. - TSN
Sidney Crosby enters tonight's game in Calgary one goal shy of his fourth career 30-goal season. Crosby had 39 goals as a rookie in 2005-06, 36 the following season and 33 last season. The only active players to score at least 30 goals in four of their first five NHL seasons are Alex Ovechkin, Eric Staal, Ilya Kovalchuk and Mark Recchi. - TSN
Defenceman Brooks Orpik remains day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. His status for tonight's game in Calgary is a game-time decision. - Tribune Review
Forward Andy McDonald missed Tuesday's game against Columbus as he deals with a 'mid-body' issue, one that appears to be some type of hip or rib problem. Head coach Davis Payne said McDonald's absence was a bit of a preventative measure. - St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Referee Stephane Auger blows his whistle as Calgary Flames' Rene Bourque skates past during the first period of the Flames' NHL hockey game against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2010. The NHL is looking into a claim by Vancouver's Alexandre Burrows that Auger made payback calls against him, and the Canucks are in support of their feisty forward.
