The Avalanche originally listed Kadri as week-to-week but head coach Jared Bednar gave a more detailed timetable on Wednesday. Their second-line centre will miss at least one month, which means J.T. Compher will get an extended look in the top-6 and could put Colorado in the market for a centre at the trade deadline.

Frk, who won the hardest shot competition in the AHL, has scored 23 goals with 13 assists (36 points) in 37 AHL games this season. Scoring in the AHL has never been his issue, but he has just 15 goals and 19 assists (34 points) in 104 career NHL games.

As expected, Mantha will return to the Red Wings lineup on Tuesday. Mantha will replace Robby Fabbri, who is out with a jaw injury, and should skate on the top line with Dylan Larkin. Mantha has scored 12 goals with 12 assists (24 points) in 29 games this season.

Kadri was forced to leave Sunday’s game with a lower-body injury and did not return. The timing could not be worse for Kadri, who has posted nine points (4G / 5A) in his last eight games, marking his hottest stretch of the season. Players like J.T. Compher and Tyson Jost will likely be force-fed top-6 minutes in Kadri’s absence.

Mantha suffered a couple of injuries, including a punctured lung, back on December 21st but will be back in the lineup in Buffalo. At this time, there's no word on who Mantha will replace in the lineup.

Mantha will not play this afternoon vs. the Bruins but head coach Jeff Blashill is hopeful that he'll return Tuesday in Buffalo. Mantha's return to the lineup would obviously be huge for the Red Wings, as he leads the team in points-per-game (0.83), scoring 12 goals with 12 assists (24 points) in 29 games this year.

Weegar missed Thursday's game with an illness and is listed as day-to-day heading into Saturday's game. Josh Brown will remain in the lineup tomorrow if Weegar can't go.

Mantha passed the concussion test and was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Mantha is also dealing with fractured ribs and a punctured lung, so he's still going to be sidelined for about one more week. Mantha hopes to be back before February 15th.

Weegar has been out since December 23rd but will play tonight in Columbus. Weegar has scored three goals with nine assists (12 points) in 28 games this season while averaging 1.6 shots and 1.4 blocked shots per game.

Ritchie has missed the last 19 games with a sprained left MCL but will play Monday in San Jose. Ritchie is expected to be on the second line with Adam Henrique and Devin Shore and re-enters the lineup with 10 points (3G / 7A) in 27 games this season.

Tinordi was a healthy scratch in two of the last three games and has just one assist in seven NHL games this season. He will likely remain with the Predators while Ryan Ellis is sidelined with a concussion.

Mantha, who has been out since December 21st, will be sidelined until at least late February. Head coach Jeff Blashill did not rule out the possibility of Mantha missing the rest of the regular season, especially when you consider that the Red Wings season is effectively over.

Rooney sat our of Thursday's game in Washington but will replace Michael McLeod in the lineup on Saturday. Rooney has just one goal and one assist in 27 games this season.

Vladar served as Jaroslav Halak's backup last night but swaps spots with Maxime Lagace and heads back to the AHL.

Tinordi played last night his reassignment suggests that Matt Irwin will draw into the lineup on Saturday and could indicate that Ryan Ellis (concussion) isn't far from a return. He has five assists in 28 AHL games this season.

Ritchie has been out since early-December with a sprained left MCL but could be back tonight in Nashville. Ritchie has registered 10 points (3G / 7A) in 27 games this season.

Rooney missed the Devils morning skate due to an illness and will be a game-time decision in Washington. If Rooney can't play, look for the Devils to dress seven defensemen.

Vladar was a third-round pick (No.75 overall) in 2015 who has gone 6-5-0 with a 1.84 GAA and .935 SV%. Vladar comes up to serve as Jaroslav Halak's backup while Tuukka Rask is on IR with an upper-body injury.
