“It all seemed like it was always neck-related and it almost felt like it was cutting off the flow to my brain sometimes just because it was so stiff.”
- Ed Tait of the Winnipeg Free Press: Jets Evander Kane and Tim Stapleton are heading back to Winnipeg for further evaluation.

Wilson gets 1 year extension … Flyers injuries … Whitney has tendinitis … Gagne injured … Carcillo close … Smith-Pelly breaks foot

- Frank Seravalli of the Philadelphia Daily News: Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen has been dealing with chronic back pain.

- Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal: Oilers defenseman Ryan Whitney missed 47 games last year after dislocating a tendon in his right ankle, and has missed 18 games this year with ankle issues, now has tendinitis in the surgically repaired ankle. He missed yesterday’s game but could be ready for Thursday.
Tom Renny: “The ankle has been a little bit weak because he’s pushing himself to get back to where he wants to be and it’s inevitable that there’s some residual pain there. He’s developed the tendinitis because he’s pushed it. We’re being safe. On the heels of the Christmas break, if we can give him five or six days off, I think it’ll help him a lot.”
- Rich Hammond of the LA Kings Insider: Kings winger Simon Gagne did not return for the 3rd period last night and will be evaluated today.

Briere, Betts to sit out tomorrow … Sacco should stay, Avs should offer Bryzgalov a deal … Stastny done for year … What to do with Voracek and Brassard
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News on April 4th, 2011
- Marcus Hayes of the Philadelphia Daily News: Flyers forward Danny Briere will likely sit out tomorrows game with lower body soreness. Blair Betts will be out too. Chris Pronger suffered a setback last week, will be back skating this week. All should be ready for the playoffs.
- Adrian Dater of the Denver Post: Despite being in the bottom of the league after making the playoffs last year, Dater thinks that coach Joe Sacco deserves to hold on to his job for next season. The Avs will have to decide if they want to re-sign UFA Tomas Fleischmann. He may want big money, and the Avs don’t have a positive history when it comes to re-signing their own UFA’s. Dater thinks the Avs should make Ilya Bryzgalov a big offer if he becomes available.
- Terry Frei of the Denver Post: Avalanche forward Paul Stastny is done for the year due to a stress fracture in his leg. Adam Foote missed his 9th straight game, and it’s not known if he’ll be able to get into a game this year before he retires.
- Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch: The Blue Jackets may be debating this off-season if Derick Brassard and Jake Voracek will ever develop into the top line players they had hoped for. Do they move either of them? Brassard was marginally better this year (45-50 point range) and Voracek was basically the same. GM Scott Howson is likely more willing to trade one of them compared to last year. Voracek may have a higher potential, but he’s a RFA and contract talks “could get sticky.”
Dubinsky has fractured fibula … Doughty deal will get done … Malkin out tomorrow … Pronger and Okposo could be back tomorrow
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Injuries, NHL News on January 19th, 2011
- Joe Yerdon via twitter: Brandon Dubinsky will be out 3-4 week with a broken Fibula
- Dennis Bernstein via twitter: Kings GM Dean Lombardi has no doubt they’ll get Drew Doughty signed, it will get done eventually. Lombardi also added, that a trade is not a practical option for the Kings and “When everyone is still in it, It’s harder and harder to make a deal in a 30 team league given lack of depth.”
- John Buccigross via twitter: Evgeni Malkin will miss Thursday’s game against the Devils with a leg injury, could be out longer.
- Tim Panaccio via twitter: Chris Pronger is expected to be in the Flyers lineup tomorrow night. Andreas Nodl could be questionable with a bad leg.

- James Mirtle via twitter: Looks like a Henrik Lundqvist – Jonas Gustavsson match-up tonight in New York.
- Sam Carchidi via twitter: Daniel Briere has been officially named to the All-star team.
- Chris Botta via twitter: Looks like Kyle Okposo will be returning to the Islanders lineup on Thursday vs. the Capitals.
- Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal: (Before Hemsky left last night’s game with concussion) Reader asks if Oilers will trade Ales Hemsky and Dustin Penner. Matheson reponds with … both will be UFA’s after next season and the Oilers won’t want to lose them for nothing. May ask if them if they want to be part of the rebuild or not. It appears the may may be interested in staying.
Parise visits doctors today … Ballard to return tonight? 10 teams looking for Dmen … New Leaf lines … Langkow’s return 50-50?
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Injuries, NHL News, NHL Rumors on November 1st, 2010
- Tom Gulitti of the Bergon Record: Zach Parise will see a doctor today to find out how serious his lower body injury is. Parise said he originally suffered the injury in his summer training while skating. “It’s been bothering me,” he told me. “I know exactly when I hurt it. I hurt it in August and it’s been bothering me. It hasn’t gone away. I kind of hurt it every game.”
- Brad Ziemer of the Vancouver Sun: Keith Ballard made it through weekend practices with the Vancouver Canucks and could return Monday night. He will likely be a game time decision according to Vigneault. Dan Hamhuis skated for 20 minutes yesterday but still felt some discomfort in his foot. Ryan Parent left yesterday’s practice early with a groin strain.
- Darren Dreger via twitter: Daniel Briere has a hearing via conference call scheduled for today at 10am regarding his stick work to the head on Saturday night (video of incident can be seen in yesterday’s post). Briere has 8 instances since 2005 where he received a warning, fine or suspension according to John Shannon.
- Bruce Garrioch in the Toronto Sun: There may be as many as 10 teams looking for defenseman, including the Senators, Lightning, Kings and Sharks. The Senators are dangling Brian Lee. The Ducks have said they’d trade Paul Mara. The Oilers have Sheldon Souray and his broken hand. Kevin Bieksa will likely become available by the Canucks at some point when their defensive corps gets healthy. The city of Glendale and Matthew Hulsizer are still working on the details of the lease. Glendale will cover some of the losses from the Coyotes but only if he won’t move the team. If he moves the team within 5 years, they’ll want their money back. The Dallas Stars are averaging under 14,000 fans a game and may have to deal Brad Richards before the deadline; “They might have to do it to save cash, but that just doesn’t make sense to me,” said one league executive. “They’ve got a chance to have a pretty good team. They should be trying to add, not subtract.” The New Jersey Devils have been fielding calls regarding Patrick Elias, but he has a no-movement clause with 2 years left on his contract and would likely want to stay with the Devils. The Phoenix Coyotes are trying to move Petr Prucha and his $1.1 million salary.
- Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun: It may be 50-50 chance that Calgary Flames center Daymond Langkow is able to return from a neck injury he sustained last year. He was shut down last week after feeling numbness below the waist during an intensive workout.
- Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun: The Maple Leafs are looking for some more scoring from the lineup, have juggled the lines yesterday at practice. Mike Brown – Kris Versteeg – Tim Brent, Luca Caputi – Phil Kessel – Tyler Bozak, Mikhail and Nikolai Kulemin – Clarke MacArthur – Grabovski, and Fredrik Sjostrom – Colton Orr – Christian Hanson.
- Eric Francis in the Toronto Sun: The Calgary Flames could move Ian White at some point this season. White will be a UFA at season’s end, with the signing of Mark Giordano to a long term deal and the emergence of TJ Brodie, White could be expendable if they are out of the playoff race.
- Jesse Spector via twitter: No truth to the rumor of Mats Zuccarello leaving the Rangers AHL team.
- Chip Alexander via twitter: Look for Justin Peters to get the start on Monday for the Carolina Hurricanes.
- Dmitry Chesnokov via twitter: Evgeny Artyukhin passed his 2nd medicals with SKA and will make his debut tomorrow.
- Dan O’Neill of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Carlo Colaiacovo’s return to the Blues lineup is not known after taking a hit from Jordan Tootoo last week. He’s still experience neck spasms and will have to undergo further tests.

Rich Chere of the Star-Ledger: Zach Parise left last night’s game and returned to New Jersey with Lou Lamoriello after suffering a ‘lower-body’ injury. The extent of the injury is not known, but it could be a serious injury to his right knee. Parise was hit by Kyle Clifford late in the 2nd period.
Pierre LeBrun of ESPN: The Tampa Bay Lightning plan to meet with Steven Stamkos’s side in the next couple weeks regarding a contract extension. The Los Angeles Kings have already been drawing up different contract models for Drew Doughty. LeBrun thinks the Kings may be interested in Jarome Iginla if he becomes available this year. The Maple Leafs refuse to rush Nazem Kadria and called up Christian Hansen instead. Brendan Shanahan is looking to change the All-Star game in some way, but wouldn’t say what his ideas are (I have an idea, cancel it).
James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail: The Toronto Maple Leafs are searching for some secondary scoring. Teams are focusing on Phil Kessel (has still scored 7 goals) as his teammates struggle to find the back of the net (MacArthur started off hot but has cooled of late). Burke has said if he can add some scoring he will, he has $4 million in cap space. Hitting the rumor mill of potential players available this week are Jeff Carter, David Backes and Blake Wheeler.
Jason Botchford of the Vancouver Province: Keith Ballard skated with teammates for the first time yesterday. It was only a light workout with the team. A date hasn’t been set for his potential return from a ‘slight’ concussion.
Adrian Dater of the Denver Post: Avalanche goalie Craig Anderson’s agent confirmed that his injury is not serious. The exact extent of the injury is not know, but he will not require surgery. It was first feared that he might have torn some ligaments in his knee.
Craig Custance of the Sporting News: Nashville Predators defenseman Ryan Suter, who’s been out since October 19th with a lower-body injury, expects to skate on Monday and could be close to returning.
Bruce Garrioch via twitter: Senators forward Milan Michalek will be out at least a week with tendinitis in his surgically repaired knee.
Jimmy Murphy via twitter: In the expansion era, after the first 6 games, Tim Thomas has the lowest GAA ever at 0.50. 2nd goalie ever to have 3 shutouts in first 6 games to start the season, Pascal Leclaire the other.

- Bob McKenzie via twitter: Canucks Rick Rypien has been suspended by the NHL, pending a hearing. Pierre LeBrun, hearing is ‘in-person’, which is required under the CBA to suspend a player for 5 games or more, but doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll get 5 games or more.Dreger says it’s likely that Rypien’s hearing will be on Friday.

- Tim Panaccio via twitter: Mike Richards has been replaced on the top power play unit during practice. Top unit Jeff Carter, Scott Hartnell, Daniel Briere , Kimmo Timonen & Chris Pronger.
- John Buccigross of ESPN: If the Dallas Stars decide to trade Brad Richards, Buccigross thinks they could get a 1st round pick, a prospect and a roster player for him. He also thinks the Leafs, Kings and Rangers would be interested, and could offer him right away a 5 to 7 year deal worth $30-40 million. The Blues might be a good fit for Richards.
- Bob McKenzie via twitter: The Nashville Predators signed Steve Begin this morning and put him on waivers. Jamie Lundmark cleared waivers. If a team signs a UFA after the opening day rosters are set, that player must clear waivers. Update: Begin put on waivers for the purpose of being sent to AHL as a depth guy
- Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal Constitution: Atlanta Thrashers forward Nik Antropov is still not a 100% from off-season hip surgery. He’s struggled out of the gate with 1 assist in 5 games so far.
