Brodie is exactly four weeks into a 3-6 week timetable for his return from a broken hand. It is unknown how many practices Brodie will need before he makes his season debut, but it is positive news that he will travel with the team.
Khudobin stopped 34 of 35 shots in the Ducks win over the Wild on Sunday. It was a great outing for Khudobin, who will start his second straight game because of it. He will need to be great with the Ducks anemic offence going up against Pekka Rinne.

Khudobin was yanked after allowing three goals on eight shots in his Ducks debut on Wednesday. Frederik Andersen was expected to get the start tonight, but the Ducks will give Khudobin a chance to redeem himself. He will face a Wild team who is eighth in the NHL in scoring so far this season.
Khudobin will make his Ducks debut after sitting for the first two games. Khudobin was 2-0-0 with a 0.86 GAA and .970 SV% in three preseason games. Khudobin comes into play tonight with a career 2.40 GAA and .919 SV%. Tonight he will take on the Coyotes, who are surprisingly off to a 2-0 start to the season.
This is a tough break for Brodie and the Flames to start the season. If he misses just three weeks, he would only miss the first week of the season, but there is a chance he could be sidelined until the first week of November. With Brodie out, the Flames will have to find someone to fill in—Tyler Wotherspoon and Jakub Nakladal are likely the front runners.
Teravainen had one assist in two games in the first round but it looks like he will be in the lineup for Game 1 on Friday. With Teravainen likely back in, look for Kris Versteeg to be a healthy scratch.
Weber did not take part in the morning skate, so he is unlikely to play in a pivotal game 5 for the Predators. Head coach Peter Laviolette had “nothing to report” on any of his injured players, so Weber’s status remains up in the air.
Brodie could have had a chance to play in all 82 games, but will not get that chance as he will be held out for rest. He finishes with 11 goals and 30 assists (41 points) in 81 games this season.
Weber is reportedly day-to-day with a lower-body injury, but this smells like rest for Weber, who missed three games late in March with a lower-body injury. Weber had no points but 15 shots on goal in three games since returning from that injury.
Brossoit had a sensational NHL debut, stopping 49 of 51 shots in the Oilers 2-1 loss to the Sharks last night. Brossoit will head back to the AHL where he will resume his spot as the Barons starting net minder.
Maroon missed last Friday’s game with an illness, but he will play on Wednesday vs. the Stars. He will skate on a line with Chris Wagner/Nate Thompson and Tim Jackman.
Brossoit, 22, had a tough time in a brief AHL stint last season, but came into 2014-15 much stronger. He went 22-21-4 with a 2.65 GAA and .916 SV% in 49 games with Oklahoma City, which prompted the Oilers to recall him and let him make his NHL debut in a meaningless game against the Sharks.
Brossoit, 22, has gone 22-21-4 with a 2.65 GAA and .916 SV% in 49 games with the Oklahoma City Barons this season. The 2011 sixth-round pick ( 164th overall) has enjoyed some success in his first full AHL season and will make his NHL debut on Thursday.
Khudobin allowed six goals on 35 shots in the Hurricanes loss in Florida last Thursday. He has not won since March 15th having lost his last six outings. Tonight he will face the Red Wings in Detroit—Khudobin is 4-9-3 with a 3.24 GAA and .885 SV% on the road this season.
Maroon missed the third period in Wednesday’s game and will not play tonight because of an illness. With Maroon out, Stefan Noesen will make his NHL debut.
