TSN's Ice Chips
The Thrashers have placed D Christoph Schubert on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. He missed his third consecutive game Thursday after suffering the injury over the weekend in Carolina. - Atlanta Journal Constitution
The Flames started practice 20 minutes late on Friday. Players roamed the ice for about 10 minutes before the coaches came out, and Brent Sutter promptly told the skaters to go goal line to goal line in waves. After five minutes, the team went to the board to watch assistant coach Dave Lowry map out a passing drill, then went straight to work. The practice definitely had a no-nonsense feel to it. - TSN
Head Coach Joel Quenneville reiterated again Thursday that Cristobal Huet remains his No. 1 goalie despite the veteran's recent struggles and Antti Niemi's more consistent play. - Daily Herald Times
D Adam Foote (ankle) skated briefly Thursday but is doubtful to play on Friday against Nashville. Wes O'Neill would take his place in the lineup. C Matt Hendricks (ankle), RW Marek Svatos (chest) are doubtful; D Ruslan Salei (back), RW David Jones (knee), RW Milan Hejduk (knee), and D Ryan Wilson (concussion) are out. - Denver Post
F Jakub Voracek will miss Saturday's game in Minnesota with what head coach Ken Hitchcock is terming an upper-body injury. - Columbus Dispatch
F Tom Wandell left Thursday's game in Vancouver with an undisclosed injury and will be re-evaluated Friday. - Dallas Morning News
The Oilers recalled D Taylor Chorney from Springfield (AHL) on Thursday. - Team Release
Rookie D Dmitry Kulikov made his way back to the lineup Thursday against the Islanders. With Florida playing for the second straight night, Peter DeBoer rested D Bryan Allen, who is coming off knee surgery. - Miami Herald
Head Coach Terry Murray placed Teddy Purcell on the fourth line and on the power-play unit and scratched enforcer Raitis Ivanans on Thursday against Buffalo, and took a struggling Randy Jones out of the defence corps to accommodate Matt Greene's return from a lower-body injury. - L.A. Times
The Wild welcomed D Brent Burns back to the line-up on Thursday for the first time since Nov. 18. He missed 29 games with a concussion. - Star Tribune
Head Coach Jacques Martin said there was a possibility Sergei Kostitsyn would return Friday against New Jersey. He has missed nine games with a sprained ankle. - Montreal Gazette
Forwards Mike Cammalleri and Maxim Lapierre got into a fight at practice Thursday. Travis Moen broke it up. - TSN
F J.P. Dumont missed Thursday's game because of the flu, but is scheduled to rejoin the team for Friday's game against Colorado. F Jordin Tootoo returned to the lineup Thursday after missing 17 games with a broken foot. - Nashville Tennessean
D Dustin Kohn, the Isles' second-round pick in 2005, was called up from AHL Bridgeport to replace suspended D Andy Sutton. The Isles tried to send Nate Thompson to the minors to create the roster opening for Kohn, but the fourth-line winger was claimed on waivers by Tampa Bay. - New York Daily News
As a result of Milan Michalek's return, Shean Donovan will join Alexandre Picard in the press box as a healthy scratch. Jason Spezza took the morning skate on Thursday with his teammates and could back the lineup Saturday against Boston. - Ottawa Citizen
G Marc-Andre Fleury remains day-to-day (broken finger), though he is optimistic of playing Sunday at Philadelphia. The team sent F Nick Johnson and F Dustin Jeffrey to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (AHL) on Friday, meaning that Pascal Dupuis and Max Talbot are ready to return to the line-up. - Tribune Review/Team Release
D Dan Boyle could miss the next two games because of an undisclosed upper-body injury. He will probably miss Saturday's game against Buffalo as well. The Sharks have four days off after that and hope Boyle will be able to play Jan. 28 against Chicago. D Jason Demers has been recalled from Worcester (AHL) to take his place. F Benn Ferriero was sent back to Worcester. - San Francisco Examiner
D Victor Hedman was a healthy scratch on Thursday against Toronto. Earlier in the day, the team claimed C Nate Thompson off waivers from the Islanders. - Tampa Tribune
Head coach Ron Wilson said on Thursday that D Mike Komisarek (shoulder) is still a week away from returning to the line-up...John Mitchell will likely be the only change to the lineup for Saturday's game. Jay Rosehill will probably be the odd man out. Nikolai Kulemin was added to Russia's Olympic hockey roster.- TSN
D Sami Salo is day-to-day with a lower body injury. He missed the third period on Thursday against Dallas. The team recalled defenceman Nolan Baumgartner from the AHL's Manitoba Moose. - TSN
Because of the uncertainly surrounding D Mike Green's status, the team recalled John Carlson from Hershey (AHL) on Thursday. The rookie later made his sixth appearance with the Capitals and recorded his first NHL point for an inexperienced Washington blue line. - Washington Post
