Wow, Boucher was standing on his head. The B's just kept on pushing. When all else fails take the shot. Maybe the Ducks should play that way next season, instead of endlessly cycling the puck.

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 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

Defenceman Andrei Markov (right knee) returned to Montreal after Friday's night game and will be re-evaluated on Saturday. Markov fell awkwardly after a hit from Penguins' forward Matt Cooke in the first period. Defenceman Jaroslav Spacek will not play in Game 2 on Sunday. - 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.

The Penguins will be without centre Jordan Staal for the remainder of the playoffs after undergoing surgery to repair severed tendons in his ankle, an injury he suffered during a Game 1 victory over the Canadiens. Forwards Bill Guerin and Chris Kunitz did not participate in Saturday's practice. - TSN

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. - TSN
