Doesn't sound like Jeffrey will play tonight but his presence on the team is telling on how they think of him. Expect him to return to the lineup at some point over the next few games.

Jeffrey registered an assist with the Wilkes Barre/Scranton Pens through his two games down there. He should draw in tonight, possibly in place of Steve Sullivan.

Both players lose their immediate fantasy hockey value in the interim.

Jeffrey makes his 2011-2012 debut tonight on the fourth line. He likely is eased back into the lineup.

Jeffrey's return would be a welcome sign for the Pens, who are forced to use Richard Park on a scoring line. Last season he scored seven goals and 12 points through 25 games with the team, an indication he can light the lamp at the NHL level.

Don't expect to see any of these four players in the lineup over the next two road games. Through the team's first six games, they boast a league-best eight points.

Jeffrey could benefit from injuries to Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Last season he impressed the big club, playing 25 games and finishing with seven goals and 12 points.

Jeffrey starts the season in IR. Last season he impressed the big club, playing 25 games and finishing with seven goals and 12 points. When healthy expect him to battle for a bottom-6 role.

The 23-year-old scored seven goals and 12 points through 25 games last season. He is on schedule to recover from his knee injury.

Nothing really new to report on either front except that neither are making strides on the ice.

Missing time during training camp could hurt his chances of making the team, considering he was already labeled to compete for the fourth line center role. Nevertheless with Sidney Crosby expected out, Jeffrey could provide some much needed offensive depth down the middle.

Jeffrey showed some promise last season, scoring seven goals over 25 games. He could find himself on a scoring line with an elite center next season.
