TSN's Ice Chips

Shawn Thornton was banged up early in Saturday's game against Ottawa. He was able to finish the game and played through the pain on Sunday. - Boston Globe

Before Sunday's game, the Hurricanes called up Justin Peters and scratched Cam Ward's backup, Manny Legace, with vision problems. - News Observer

Jakub Voracek, who missed Saturday's game because of a head injury, worked out off-ice yesterday. If all went well, he could practice Monday and play Tuesday against the Nashville Predators. Defenceman Marc Methot (flu) is feeling better and expected to practice Monday. - Columbus Dispatch

Brenden Morrow (oblique) and Jere Lehtinen (neck) could rejoin the Stars in practice this week. Tom Wandell, who suffered a knee injury in Vancouver on Friday, is not expected to play this week, Marc Crawford said. Wandell will undergo tests this week. - Dallas Morning News

Tomas Holmstrom is hoping to return from a broken foot later this week and Jason Williams (fibula) and Johan Franzen (knee) should both be back before the Olympic break. - Detroit Free Press

The Canadiens recalled Ben Maxwell from the Hamilton Bulldogs on Sunday and assigned Matt D'Agostini to the Bulldogs. The team also assigned Max Pacioretty to the Bulldogs. - TSN

The Devils could have centre Dainius Zubrus back when they face the Ottawa Senators Tuesday night at Scotiabank Place. Zubrus said he will find out Monday, when his right knee is examined and he speaks with general manager Lou Lamoriello. Lamoriello said Patrik Elias (concussion) was examined by a neurologist late last week and is "progressing" but indicated there is no timetable for his return. Elias will be examined again early this week. - Star-Ledger

Ryan Parent needs back surgery to have a disk fragment removed from his lumbar spine. The surgery will keep the 22-year-old out of action for an additional six weeks. He has missed the last 14 games with the injury. - Philadelphia Inquirer

Dan Bylsma said Marc-Andre Fleury is a 'real possibility' to play Monday against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. He last played Jan. 14 at Edmonton, where his left ring finger was fractured when a shot awkwardly hit his glove. Fleury plans to wear a new glove, designed with additional padding to protect his injury, upon his return. Max Talbot (undisclosed/lower-body injury) did not play against Philadelphia and is "probably more day-to-day" according to Bylsma. Talbot was injured last Tuesday in a home win against the New York Islanders. - Tribune Review

The Blues placed defenceman Carlo Colaiacovo (lower body) on injured reserve Sunday. The club recalled defenceman Tyson Strachan from Peoria of the American Hockey League. - St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Defenceman Mike Komisarek (shoulder) is still a few days away from returning to the lineup. - TSN

Super entertaining game between STL and Calgary, two teams leaving it all on the ice as they fight for a playoff position.

[Dark Knight]

Calgary loses at home to STL 2-0 and puts the Ducks that much closer to 8th, especially if they take care of business tomorrow

Maybe we left a bitter taste in the Blues mouth so they went out and took it to the Flames. Either way, we benefit!
