Kadri was held off of the ice for Tuesday’s practice because of an illness, but his return to the ice this morning is a good sign that he will be available on Thursday.
Kadri missed practice because of an illness, but he has a few days to get healthy before the Leafs take on the Flyers on Thursday.
Kadri was listed as a game-time decision, but he is on the ice for warmups, so it looks like he will play. He has missed the last two games, but should return tonight on the top line with Phil Kessel and Daniel Winnik in the first game under new head coach Peter Horachek.
Backlund has been out since October 28th because of abdomen surgery. He recorded four points (1G / 3A) in 11 games before getting hurt. Tonight he will return to the lineup on the Flames’ third line with Paul Byron and Mason Raymond.
Kadri took line rushes on the Maple Leafs top-line in today’s morning skate and interim head coach Peter Horachek says he is hopeful that he will have Kadri in the lineup tonight. Monitor his status during warmups.
Kadri is on the ice for the second straight day and is taking line rushes on the top-line with Phil Kessel and Daniel Winnik. Kadri has missed the last two games, but it appears as if he will return ahead of schedule and get back in tonight vs. the Capitals. He has 24 points (11G / 13A) in 38 games this season.
Kadri was expected to miss 7-10 days which would have suggested that he would miss tomorrow’s game but his full availability this morning is a good sign he should play. He skated on the second line with Mike Santorelli and Daniel Winnik this morning.
Kadri was held out of last night’s game and won’t play tonight in Winnipeg because of an undisclosed injury. He is likely in danger of missing a third game next Wednesday, but could be back for Friday’s clash with the Blue Jackets.
Kadri has missed practice the last two days and is danger of missing tonight’s game vs. the Maple Leafs. Monitor his status closer to puck-drop.
Backlund has been out since October 28th because of abdominal surgery. The Flames never gave a timetable for Backlund’s return, but he is hoping to join the team for practice tomorrow and will go from there.
After missing Saturday’s game, Stone was back in the lineup last night in Vancouver. He did not record a point and was a minus-2 with one shot in the Coyotes blowout 7-1 loss to the Canucks.
Stone suffered an upper-body injury on Tuesday vs. Edmonton and will not play today. He will be replaced by Chris Summers.
After the Canadiens acquired Sergei Gonchar from the Stars on Tuesday, one of their young defensemen needed to be sent down. They have elected to go with Nathan Beaulieu over Tinordi for now. Tinordi was a healthy scratch in four of the last five games and had just two assists with a minus-5 rating in nine games.
Huberdeau missed the last three games with the flu, but he is on the ice for pre game warmups and will face the Flames this afternoon. He will skate on the Panthers' second line with Brad Boyes and Nick Bjugstad.
Huberdeau will miss his third straight game with the flu, but will play on Saturday vs. the Flames. He has one goal and one assist in eight games this season.
Huberdeau missed his second game in a row on Tuesday and looks to be in danger of missing three in a row on Thursday. Monitor his availability for tomorrow’s morning skate.
Mantha has been sidelined since mid-September with a fractured tibia. He has been cleared to do some practice drills this week and the Red Wings are hoping he will make his pro hockey debut with Grand Rapids in a couple of weeks. The Red Wings are always patient with their prospects so Mantha will have to get his feet wet with the Griffins, before he can even consider making his NHL debut.
Huberdeau will miss his second straight game with the flu, but could join the team in Philadelphia tomorrow and potentially be back in the lineup vs. the Flyers on Thursday.
The Panthers will be without five regulars tonight including Huberdeau, so Colby Robak will make his season debut as a seventh defenseman.
Backlund is listed as week-to-week with an abdomen injury. With Backlund out the Flames recalled Michael Ferlund from Adirondack (AHL). There is no timetable for Backlund' return.
