- Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: The Philadelphia Flyers are close to signing winger Claude Giroux to a contract extension. There is unrest in Calgary, Jarome Iginla trade rumors, coach and management issues, assistant GM Jay Feaster could take over (IMO, the Sutter’s need to go before any player decisions are made). The New Jersey Devils would like to add a defenseman. Ed Jovanovski is a UFA this year, he could be dealt or resigned, but they may not be able to do a deal with the Coyotes without the consent of potential owners Matthew Hulsizer or the True North Group, no formal discussion have taken place. The San Jose Sharks are looking for a defenseman to fill the departed Rob Blake’s minutes, they’ll likely wait till it’s closer to the trade deadline. Islanders goalie Dwayne Roloson could get some interest at the trade deadline. Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli will have plenty to consider at the GM meetings starting on Tuesday, as teams will be looking for deals to help them fix some of their cap issues, a chance Michael Ryder could be dealt.
- David Pollak of the San Jose Mercury News: Joe Thornton appealed his suspension yesterday, no change.
- Howard Berger via twitter: Toronto Maple Leafs forward Colby Armstrong has a walking cast on his right leg, he was originally out with a finger injury.
- Jim Gintonio via twitter: Shane Doan is week-to-week with a lower body injury, happened Friday.
- Larry Brooks of the NY Post: Brandon Dubinsky and Ryan Callahan are off to a good start with the NY Rangers, and both will be looking for nice raises. Dubinsky is in the final year of his 2 year deal making $1.85 million per season. Callahan is making $2.3 million in the last year of his deal.
- Curtis Zupke of the OC Register: Injured Ducks, Dan Sexton, Matt Beleskey and Joffrey Lupul all practiced yesterday. It was Sexton’s first practice after breaking his nose.
- Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News: According to Sabres coach Lindy Ruff, Drew Stafford will “miss some good time” with an upper body injury.
- Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: Senators forward Milan Michalek skated yesterday for the first time in a week after experiencing tendinitis in his knee. Michalek could return on Tuesday against the Thrashers.

Doughty to IR … Bruins-Maple Leafs rumors … Canadiens interested in Bieksa? Sabres to get 3 back by weekend?
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Injuries, NHL News, NHL Rumors, NHL Videos on October 26th, 2010
- Helene Elliott of the LA Times: The Los Angeles Kings have placed defenseman Drew Doughty on the IR retroactive to October 21st, and have recalled Jake Muzzin from the AHL. The Kings won’t be rushing Doughty back. It looks like the Kings will be keeping Brayden Schenn and Kyle Clifford on the roster this year, both could be returned to Junior, but not to the AHL. “My plan is to have them contribute as we get into February and March,” Murray said.
- Jimmy Murphy via twitter: Brian Burke and Peter Chiarelli will be pheasant hunting this week, start the rumors. Blake Wheeler is being shopped, the Leafs have had interest in Wheeler in the past.
- Jimmy Murphy via twitter: Peter Chiarelli was in Montreal [last night] watching the Canadiens-Coyotes game.
- Michael Russo of the Star-Tribune: Pierre-Marc Bouchard is getting closer to returning to game action as he’s taking contact now during practice. Bouchard has been recovering from post-concussion syndrome, having played only 1 game since March 2009. He could be sent to the AHL on a conditioning stint before returning to the NHL. Bouchard’s big test will be when he takes a big hit, “Why wait?” “They should throw him a suicide pass at center ice and I’ll see if he’s ready,” Clutterbuck [teammate] joked.
- Darren Dreger of TSN (video link): It’s a little to early for Brad Richards rumors, but after Christmas things could heat up. The Rangers and Dallas did talk about the possibility last season. The Canadiens are reportedly interested in adding some depth on the blueline, maybe Kevin Bieksa once the Canucks injured players are all ready to return.
- Bucky Gleason of the Buffalo News: Jason Pominville (concussion) and defensemen Craig Rivet (shoulder) and Shaone Morrisonn (groin) could return to the Buffalo Sabres lineup this weekend. Pominville had a neurological-psychological exam yesterday and is awaiting clearance for contact.
- Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail: In July, Shane Doan and his brother Brook shot an episode of ‘Mantracker’ back in July. They spent a week in the mountains by Whistler BC, with the point of show being not to be caught by the ‘mantracker’ over a 36 hour period.

Fowler has broken nose … Varlamov to start Thursday? Would Leafs be interested in Richards?
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Injuries, NHL News, NHL Rumors on October 19th, 2010
- Curtis Zupke of the OC Register: Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler suffered a broken nose after being hit by Shane Doan on Saturday night, but is listed as probable for their next game.
- John Buccigross via twitter: Semyon Varlamov told Buccigross that he’ll be starting for the Capitals on Thursday night against the Boston Bruins.
- Tim Wharnsby of CBC Sports: Wharnsby wonders if the Dallas Stars can’t re-sign Brad Richards, would the Maple Leafs be interested? I’m not sure if Richards would fit into Burke’s master plan, or if they have the assets to send back to Dallas. If the Leafs were interested at some point, that would be saying they were in the playoff hunt, and they are not loaded with high ceiling prospects or high draft picks.
- Jesse Spector of the NY Daily News: Erik Christensen returned last night for the NY Rangers, but felt a ‘tug’ in his upper right leg in the first period, and saw under 10 minutes of ice time, mostly on the 4th line.
- Jesse Spector of the NY Daily News: The NY Rangers brought in Marty Biron as a more stable backup, with the intent of giving Henrik Lundqvist more rest during the season. Biron hasn’t played a game yet, but the team has 3 game in 4 nights starting on Thursday, so he’ll most likely see action against one of Toronto (Thurs.), Boston (Sat.) or NJ (Sun.).
- Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch: Columbus Blue Jackets forward Jared Boll will remain out with back spasms for at least a few more games. Boll has been out since the season opener.
Video: Hits by Shane Doan on Fowler and Sexton will likely be looked by the League
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Videos on October 18th, 2010
9:19 am: Nick Kypreos via twitter: League is reviewing Shane Doan’s late hit on Dan Sexton.
8:43 am: I’m sure Shane Doan’s hits from last night will be reviewed by the league today, and I’m sure a fine or suspension will occur, likely for the Dan Sexton hit.
In the 2nd period, Doan hits Cam Fowler, who on his way down, and may have been in a vulnerable position.
In the 3rd period, Doan laid a hit on Dan Sexton, which looks to be a little high, a little late, and possible from the blind-side.
Kovalchuk Open to Anything … What Will the Devils Do? Jagr Re-signs with Omsk? Doan a Game Time Decision
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL Injuries, NHL News on April 23rd, 2010
- Tom Gulitti of The Record: Ilya Kovalchuk said he is “open to anything”, and enjoyed his time with the Devils (not including the 1st round loss). “I love everything here,” Kovalchuk said. “I think it’s a great organization. I appreciate (general manager Lou Lamoriello) giving me a chance to play here. It was a great experience. I played with some great players. I loved it. So, we all know it’s a business. I’m open to anything.”
- Lyle Richardson of Fox Sports: The New Jersey Devils will have to do some re-tinkering if they hope to return to their glory years. One area they’ll need to start considering is finding a replacement for Martin Brodeur when he retires (2 years left on his contract). Richardson suggests Carey Price could be a good fit, and would benefit from learning from Brodeur for a couple seasons. The Devils also need to improve along the blueline, especially if Paul Martin leaves via free agency. Richardson also doesn’t think that Kovalchuk will be re-signed, especially if he’s looking for a contract north of $8 million. Captain Jamie Langenbrunner has had some issues with coach Lemaire, and might be willing to waive his no-trade clause, though I don’t think he’d bring back a big return.
- BeyondtheBlueshirts.com: They are reporting, via sport-planet.ru, that Jaromir Jagr has signed a 2-year contract with Avangard Omsk of the KHL.
- Jim Gintonio of the Arizona Republic: Shane Doan will be a game time decision if he’ll suit up for the Phoenix Coyotes for game 5.
- The Globe and Mail: Minnesota Wild center Mikko Koivu probably won’t have much of a fun this off-season. Over the next couple days, he’ll have surgery on his knee that will require 3-4 weeks of recovery. He’ll also have surgery to repair a torn labrum on his right shoulder that will require 3-4 months of rehab.
NHL Playoff Injury Updates: April 19th
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Injuries, NHL News on April 19th, 2010
- Jim Gintonio of the Arizona Republic: In last night’s 4-2 victory over the Red Wings, the Coyotes lost team captain Shane Doan in the 2nd after he crashed into the boards. He’ll be re-evaluated today, and is listed as day-to-day. The Coyotes were also without Vern Fiddler who was scratched with an upper-body injury. Fiddler plans on practicing today and hopes to be in the lineup on Tuesday.
- David Pollak of the San Jose Mercury News: As if the Sharks didn’t need any other pressures in the playoffs (constant playoff choking being most severe), they had to play last night without Dany Heatley. Heatley was a last-minute scratch with an undisclosed injury. He’s listed as day-to-day, and it’s unknown at this time if he’ll be a go for game 4. **What a heart breaking loss for them last night.
- Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News: On Saturday night, Sabres forward Thomas Vanek crashed into the boards and hobbled off the ice. News coming out of Buffalo is that he’s doubtful for tonight’s game 3, but there is hope that he might be able to return this series. Nothing is broken, and the ‘lower-body injury’ is thought be a severely sprained left ankle. If it is severely sprained, I’d be surprised if he’s ready to go in a couple games.
