Murray already missed 37 games with a knee injury this season and now he will miss at least another month with an ankle injury that he suffered last night. Overall, Murray has missed 65 of the first 132 (49.2%) games in his young career. Another tough blow to this Blue Jackets team who has battled a multitude of injuries all season long.

Despite all the trade rumours surrounding Kane, this shoulder surgery will likely slow the rumours down. However a team that is out of the playoff race that may be interested in him, might be wise to make a move for him now. His value will be slightly lower and hey, it will help them lose games and get Connor McDavid.

Smith made 40 saves on 41 shots in the Coyotes 2-1 shootout loss to the Hurricanes on Thursday. He has stopped 70 of 72 shots (.972 SV%) in his last two starts and is starting to look like his old-self again. He draws a tough matchup tonight with the Red Wings and their red-hot power-play in town.

Murray left Friday’s win over the Blues and did not return. After the game he was ruled out for Saturday’s game in Ottawa as he stays home to be evaluated. Murray had played just three games since returning from a knee injury and he is already out again.

The Jets medical staff elected it is best for Kane to undergo season ending shoulder surgery. There is no word on when Kane will undergo the surgery, but the expected recovery time is 4-6 months. It looks like he has played his final game in a Jets uniform.

It has been a crazy day for Evander Kane news and this is the latest development. His IR move is retroactive to January 2nd, which means he will miss at least the next two games with whatever it is that is bothering him. Monitor his status leading up to next Tuesday’s game vs. the Wild.

It was originally believed that Kane was scratched from the game, but he decided to skip the game. Kane wore a track suit when the Jets players gathered that morning — a violation of team policy. Following a brief workout and stretch, Byfuglien is said to have thrown those clothes into the shower to send a message to his teammate, according to sources.That was the last the Winnipeg players saw of Kane until the team’s charter flight home. This is getting juicy, stay tuned.

Smith stopped 30 of 31 shots in the Coyotes 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets on Tuesday. Smith has won two of three with a 2.59 GAA and .908 SV%. While he has played well as of late and draws a strong matchup tonight, Smith is still a risky start in all formats. He made 32 saves in a 3-0 loss in his first start vs. Carolina.

Skinner has no points and a minus-5 rating in his last nine games, but will move to the second line with Viktor Rask and Alexander Semin tonight vs. the Coyotes. Hopefully the move will spark some offence from the former 30-goal scorer, who is on pace for just 17 goals and 15 assists (33 points) this season.

Kane has reportedly been dealing with an injury all season long, so he was visiting doctors today and will be re-evaluated on Friday ahead of the Jets meeting with the Blackhawks.

The Jets do not have an extra forward, so Dustin Byfuglien will move back to forward with Kane out. It is being called a “coach’s decision” so it could be discipline related. Trade speculation will run ramped, but for now, all we know is “coach’s decision”.

Smith gave up five goals on 20 shots in the Coyotes loss in Ottawa on Friday. Despite Louis Domingue recording the W on on Sunday, the Coyotes will go back to Smith tonight in Columbus. Smith has been terrible on the road this season, going 3-12-2 with a 3.43 GAA and .891 SV% away from the desert.

Murray missed the last 36 games and a total of 40 games this season. He will be back in tomorrow and will likely replace Dalton Prout on the Blue Jackets blue line. He has no points and a minus-3 rating in four games this season.

Smith allowed one goal on 25 shots in the Coyotes 3-1 win in Toronto on Thursday. It was his first win since January 8th and made him 3-5-2 with a 3.25 GAA and .902 SV% in January. In his first start against the Senators, he allowed five goals on 33 shots in a 5-1 loss.

Murray has missed the last 36 games with a knee injury. Murray, who also missed the first seven games of the season due to off-season knee surgery, has recorded two penalty minutes in four games this season. He collected 21 points (4G / 17A) in 66 games in his first NHL season in 2013-14. Expect him to return to the lineup on Saturday vs. Tampa Bay.

Smith allowed three goals on 42 shots in the Coyotes loss in Philadelphia on Tuesday. His dreadful season continues and he sits at 7-20-4 with a 3.49 GAA and .889 SV% on the season. However, he draws a strong matchup tonight against a Maple Leafs team who can’t buy a goal right now.

Murray has been sidelined with a knee injury since November 1st. He was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, but has not been cleared to play yet. Despite not being cleared, he will still travel with the team to Florida and could still receive clearance at some point during the trip.

mith allowed six goals on 51 shots in the Coyotes loss to the Blackhawks last Tuesday. He was under siege all night which led to another rough night for Smith. He is still the clear number-1 in Arizona, despite going 7-20-3 with a 3.51 GAA and .887 SV%. Tonight he will face the Flyers in Philly—Smith is 2-11-1 on the road this year.
