Kadri suffered a concussion early in Tuesday’s game in St. Louis and will not play Thursday vs. the Capitals. William Nylander will move to centre on the third line and Andreas Johnsson will replace him on the top power-play unit.

Coleman missed the last four games with an upper-body injury but will play Tuesday vs. the Penguins. Coleman has been held pointless in his last six games but has a quality campaign, scoring 18 goals on 155 shots (11.6 SH%) with 11 assists (29 points) in 55 games.



Coleman was a bit of a surprising scratch on Tuesday and will miss his second straight game on Thursday. Nick Lappin will remain in the Devils lineup with Coleman sidelined.


Weegar has been in the lineup for the last two games but will be replaced by Ian McCoshen on Thursday.

Weegar was activated from IR prior to Friday’s game but sat out for a fourth straight game. Tonight he will replace Ian McCoshen and is expected to skate with Josh Brown.


Weegar suffered a concussion in Montreal on Tuesday on a hit that resulted in Paul Byron getting suspended for three games. Josh Brown is expected to make his NHL debut in Weegar’s place on Friday.

Bishop has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury but “may be ready to go tomorrow” after practicing Thursday. Even if he plays, Bishop has just three points (1G / 2A) in 20 games while averaging just 9:27 TOI/gm, so he has no fantasy value.

Bishop left the game in Philadelphia after playing just 2:15 TOI and is questionable for Friday’s game against the Blue Jackets. Greg McKegg was recalled from Charlotte (AHL) and would play if Bishop can’t go.


Bishop has just one goal and one assist in 15 games with the Hurricanes this season. The 22-year-old heads back to Charlotte, where he has five points (3G / 2) in 13 games.

Lomberg has not registered a point in three games with the Flames this seaosn but has six points (2G / 4A) in 19 games with Stockton.

Hanley cleared waivers on Tuesday but will also draw into the lineup on the same day. Hanley was a healthy scratch on Saturday but will replace Julius Honka tonight.


Backlund has missed the last three games with an undisclosed injury but could play on the Flames’ three-game road-trip, which starts Saturday afternoon in Minnesota. Monitor his status as the Flames hit the ice for warmups at 1:00 pm on Saturday.
