| Olaf Kolzig, G, Tampa Bay Lightning | Sunday 1/13, 4:52 PM CT |
|
| Olaf Kolzig was pulled after allowing four goals on 16 shots Sunday against Philadelphia. Brent Johnson followed up and stopped 15 of the 16 shots he faced. |
|
|
|
| Kimmo Timonen picked up three points in Sunday's win over the Capitals. It snapped a cold stretch for Timonen, who had just two points in his previous eight starts. |
|
| Mike Green, D, Washington Capitals | Sunday 1/13, 2:42 PM CT |
|
| Mike Green picked up a goal and an assist in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia. He's now got 12 goals on the year, tops among league defensemen. |
|
|
|
| Brendan Shanahan rested his sore knee Saturday and didn't play against the Rangers. He's also dealing with soreness in the hip and hamstring area. |
|
| Dan Boyle, D, San Jose Sharks | Sunday 1/13, 2:34 PM CT |
|
| Dan Boyle might be able to play by the end of the month, according to the Palm Beach Post. He's coming back from wrist surgery. |
|
|
|
| Dany Heatley suffered a separated shoulder Saturday and will miss 4-6 weeks, TSN.ca reports. |
|
|
|
| Jozef Stumpel sustained a shoulder injury during Saturday's game. It's expected to sideline him for at least 7-10 days, according to the Miami Herald. Stumpy's not producing like he once did. In fact, with just six goals, 18 points and a minus-10 rating, he's probably not on many fantasy rosters right now. |
|
| Matt Cullen, C, Carolina Hurricanes | Sunday 1/13, 9:55 AM CT |
|
| Matt Cullen was on the ice for practice Saturday, as he tries again to work his way back from a concussion. "It's good. It's getting a lot better," Cullen told the Raleigh News & Observer. "It's turning into one of those things that's taking more time than I expected. It was a pretty tough hit to the head." Cullen attempted a brief return to game action at the end of last month, but had to call it off when the concussion symptoms returned. So don't expect him to play in games until he's 100 percent healthy, which may be a while. |
|
|
|
| Glen Wesley was able to get back on the ice Saturday, but he was held out of the Hurricanes' evening game. "We're not going to play [Wesley] tonight," coach Peter Laviolette said, according to the Raleigh News & Observer. "He's been out of the lineup for six days, and this is his first day back to work. I don't know if it's a matter of where he can or couldn't play, it's just common sense to give him a few days. It's pretty bad, what they've all been through." Wesley and Wade Brookbank have been battling an illness and should get back into game action soon. |

|
|
| Sergei Fedorov was limited during the third period of Friday's game due to a hip pointer. The injury kept him from suiting up for Saturday's game, according to the Columbus Dispatch. It's the first game he's missed this season. It's not clear if the injury will force him to miss any other games. |
|
| Shea Weber, D, Nashville Predators | Sunday 1/13, 9:40 AM CT |
|
| Shea Weber missed his 10th straight game on Saturday. However, he's expected to take part in full practices early this coming week, according to the Tennesssean. He's dealing with a leg injury, but it appears the defenseman could be nearing a return to action. |
|
| John Madden, C, New Jersey Devils | Sunday 1/13, 9:29 AM CT |
|
| John Madden was cut by a skate just above his right ankle late in Saturday's game. "Right now the prognosis is good," Madden said, according to the Newark Star-Ledger. "I don't think it got any major tendons. That was my main concern. We'll see when I get an MRI tomorrow." Obviously, if the MRI reveals anything serious, Madden could be out for an extended stretch. |
|
|
|
| Sergei Zubov tested his bruised foot out during Saturday's pregame skate, but he opted to sit out of the evening tilt. "He was better today," coach Dave Tippett said. "He had an X-ray, and there's no break. A couple of days off will be real good for him. I would be real surprised if he's not ready to go on Tuesday." Zubov also is dealing with a hand injury, but it doesn't sound like either malady is serious. Hopefully, the added rest this weekend will allow him to be on the ice for Tuesday's contest. |

|
|
| P.J. Axelsson was held out of Saturday's game due to a bruised foot. He was wearing a walking boot and will have a CT scan taken on Monday, according to the Boston Globe. If any fractures are found, he'll miss at least a couple of weeks, so stay tuned for updates. |
|
|
|
| A weekend report from TSN.ca said that Curtis Joseph is considering a return to the NHL, and that the Sharks, Flames, Maple Leafs and Rangers were teams he was considering. However, it doesn't appear he will be joining the Sharks. They had talks with CuJo when they placed Dimitri Patzold on waivers last week in order to send him to the minors, but since he cleared waivers, they are no longer interested in Joseph, according to the Contra Costa Times. If you're desperate for netminding, it may not be a bad call to pick CuJo up now in case he returns to a good situation. |

|
| Jaroslav Spacek was unable to complete Thursday's game due to back spasms. The ailment kept him from taking part in Saturday's game, according to the Buffalo News. The Sabres had no immediate word on his status for next week, so considering him to be day-to-day for now. |
|
|
|
| Jonathan Toews rode a stationary bike Saturday for the first time since injuring his knee early this month, according to the Chicago Tribune. It's a step in the right direction, but it's not clear when he'll be ready to return to game action. The original estimate was mid-to-late January. |
