Forward David Moss missed practice Tuesday with a lower body injury. - TSN
F Milan Hejduk, who missed Saturday's game with discomfort in his right knee, had surgery on Sunday. He's expected to be out two-to-four weeks and will miss a chance to play for the Czech Republic at the Olympics. - News release
The team activated F Fredrik Modin from IR on Tuesday and assigned F Alexandre Picard to Syracuse (AHL). - Team Release
The team placed RW Jere Lehtinen (upper body) on injured reserve Tuesday and called up Warren Peters from Texas (AHL). LW Brenden Morrow (upper body) is still listed as day-to-day. - Dallas Morning News
The Wings expect to have their remaining injured players (Jason Williams, Niklas Kronwall and Tomas Holmstrom) back by the time they head west to start February. - Detroit Free Press
Johan Franzen continues to look strong in practices and is now past the three-month mark since having knee surgery. He could return before the Olympics. - Detroit Free Press
Ethan Moreau was not at Oilers practice Tuesday, he was given a day off to rest a sore neck. Gilbert Brule is still battling a flu bug and was not on the ice while Ryan Stone is out with a knee injury.
Defenceman Steve Staios was being examined by the training staff for a possible concussion while Marc Pouliot left practice early feeling light-headed after five games in five nights. - TSN

F Jordin Tootoo will return to the line-up Thursday, but the Predators will keep versatile rookie forward Nick Spaling instead of reassigning him back to Milwaukee. - Nashville Tennessean

There are indications that D Paul Ranger could be close to returning to the team after a three-month personal leave. Coach Rick Tocchet said an update on Ranger's status is expected soon. - Tampa Tribune

Wow... Vancouver player dives, PP they score the tying goal. In OT an absolute phantom call (and another dive) puts Vancouver on a PP. Horrible reffing again.
