Bieksa returns … Eriksson could go tonight … Shelly out 4 weeks … Maple Leafs notes … Fleischmann skates

  • Brad Zeimer of the Vancouver Sun: Cancucks defenseman Kevin Bieksa will return after missing 15 games with a broken foot. He’ll likely be paired with Dan Hamhuis. Aaron Rome or Chris Tanev will be a healthy scratch. Their 2nd to 4th lines could look like this tonight: Mason Raymond-Ryan Kesler-Chris Higgins, Raffi Torres-Maxim Lapierre-Jannik Hansen,  Jeff Tambellini-Alex Bolduc-Victor Oreskovich.
  • Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News: Stars forward Loui Eriksson made it through a full practice yesterday, and hopes to play tonight against Anaheim. Coach Marc Crawford is a little more cautious as Eriksson has been out with a concussion, a decision should be made after this mornings skate. Defenseman Nicklas Grossman has an MCL sprain, and will be out for “a bit” according to Crawford. Karlis Skrastins is doubtful with a lacerated thigh. Adam Burish is still not skating with a lower body injury. Kari Lehtonen will be in net tonight.
  • Tim Panaccio of CSNPhilly: Flyers tough guy Jody Shelly will be out 4 weeks with a fractured orbital bone after being struck by a deflected puck. He’ll have surgery tomorrow to repair the broken bone.
  • Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun: Brian Burke said their was “No chance” when asked if the Leafs would consider buying out the remaining 3 years of Mike Komisarek’s contract. It would have carried a $1.38 million cap hit for the next 6 years. Komisarek is finishing up his 2nd  year of a 5  year, $22.5 million deal.
  • Damian Cox of the Toronto Star: Cox thinks that if the Maple Leafs don’t go after Ilya Bryzgalov this summer, they’ll still need to bring in an experienced goalie in case James Reimer can’t repeat this year’s play.
  • Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun: Koshan wonders if Brett Lebda will be next seasons Jeff Finger, buried in the minors. Lebda has 1 more year at $1.4 million and has been a big disappointment this year for the Maple Leafs.
  • Adrian Dater of the Denver Post: Avalanche forward Tomas Fleischmann has been out with a pulmonary emboli since Jan. 18th skated for the first time, though he won’t play again this season. It’s looks like he’ll be able to play next year, but he’s a UFA on July 1st. Dater thinks they should re-sign him.

Sharks name captain, alternates, and top 3 lines … Thrashers name alternates, #1 goalie? … No Souray talks with Flames?

Jeff Marek via twitter: Joe Thornton was named the captain of the San Jose Sharks. From the Sharks twitter account, Dan Boyle will be a full-time alternate captain, Patrick Marleau and Ryane Clowe will be the others, one at home, one on the road.

Jimmy Murphy via twitter: The Boston Bruins and Brian McGrattan have a agreed on a 2-way deal, but it won’t be announced till Monday.

David Pollak of the San Jose Mercury News: Current (yesterday report) top 3 lines for the Sharks to start the season. Marleau – Couture – Heatley, McGinn – Thornton – Setoguchi, Clowe – Pavelski – Mitchell.

Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The Atlanta Thrashers will start the season without a captain, choosing to go with 3 alternates, Nik Antropov, Andrew Ladd and Johnny Oduya. They will rotate some others in throughout the season. The Thrashers also haven’t named a starting goalie for Friday’s season opener, but Ramsey offered this …

“I think one of the goalies will play more,” Ramsay said. “That would not be unreasonable. I’ve been with teams that have been 50-50 [splits], and we won a Vezina [Trophy] with it. I don’t think that really works. It can. I’ve seen it. We definitely are going to play each night with a plan in our minds of making this young player be a star. I think he can be.

“I don’t look that far ahead. Whatever happens we will deal with it. You make too many plans in this game, and suddenly you lose three guys and everything is blown out the door and you have to start again.”

Greg Brady via twitter: Kirk Maltby is leaning to playing in the AHL, no truth to him being offered scouting position with the Red Wings.

Darren Dreger via twitter: Dreger was told that the Flames have not talked to the Oilers about either Sheldon Souray or Andrew Cogliano. Dan Tencer has heard different.

Darren Dreger via twitter: Budget constraints kept the Florida Panthers from giving Erik Gudbranson the bonuses he wanted on his entry level deal. He made the team but they couldn’t get a contract done in time.

Tom Gulitti of the Bergon Record: A good read if you can handle more on Ilya Kovalchuk titled “A small part of the story behind the Ilya Kovalchuk contract saga”

Pierre LeBrun of ESPN: Kris Versteeg on the ‘crazy’ atmosphere that surrounds the Maple Leafs.
