TSN's Ice Chips

D Mark Stuart (day-to-day) skated alone after the team on Friday. Head coach Claude Julien says likes his progress and hopes to see him skate soon with the team - TSN

The Flames have signed forward Bryan Cameron of the Barrie Colts from the Ontario Hockey League. - Media Release

The return of Dustin Byfuglien to forward means either Jordan Hendry or Nick Boynton slides into the lineup, as Kim Johnsson (concussion) again isn't an option, according to head coach Joel Quenneville. Hendry played until Brian Campbell's return in the first round. - Chicago Tribune

Petr Svoboda, the agent for Jiri Hudler, is expected to announce Friday that his client will return to the Wings next season. Hudler was freed from his contract in Russia when his team, Moscow Dynamo, folded. - Detroit News

Head Coach Jacques Martin said on Friday that D Jaroslav Spacek (undisclosed injury) will not play in Game 1 against the Penguins. - TSN

It looks like both Phantoms call-ups, Jared Ross and Andreas Nodl, will see their first postseason action on Saturday in Game 1. Claude Giroux will move up to the Mike Richards-Daniel Carcillo line and Ross will take Giroux's place between James van Riemsdyk and Arron Asham on the third line. Nodl, who played 38 regular-season games for the Flyers a year ago, will spell the injured Ian Laperriere on the fourth line with Darroll Powe and Blair Betts.

D Jordan Leopold said after Thursday's practice that he doesn't expect to play in Friday night's Game 1 at Mellon Arena. Leopold has not played since he suffered a concussion on a hit by Ottawa's Andy Sutton on April 16. Tyler Kennedy is also out for Game 1. - Tribune Review

Patrick Marleau is feeling better and will play in Game 2 against the Red Wings on Sunday. - TSN

D Niclas Wallin and F Brad Staubitz missed Game 1, both said to be nursing lower body injuries. D Jay Leach also did not play. - San Jose Mercury News

Ryan Johnson skated on his own on Thursday and says he will be ready to play early in this series. Aaron Rome also practiced and hopes to be ready for Game 1. With the Blackhawks moving Dustin Byfuglien back to forward, the Canucks may try to use Andrew Alberts' size on the penalty kill. Roberto Luongo didn't practice; he worked out instead, then went on the ice with Ian Clark afterwards. Cory Schneider practiced, while Mikael Samuelsson left practice early to receive treatment. Head coach Alain Vigneault says he's fine. - TSN
