Johansson was a late scratch on Saturday, but was on the ice for Tuesday’s morning skate and will play against the Red Wings. Johansson’s return means that Stanislav Galiev will be a healthy scratch and Andre Burakovsky will move to the fourth line. Johansson has 13 points (5G / 8A) in 24 games this season.
Johansson was a late scratch from Saturday’s game and missed today’s practice as well. He is listed as day-to-day, so he could be back on the ice tomorrow, but as of now, his status for Tuesday’s game vs. Detroit is in doubt.
Johansson left the team’s afternoon practice in Winnipeg early, and Coach Barry Trotz said he would be a game-time decision for Saturday’s contest against the Jets. Stanislav Galiev skated in Johansson’s place on the second line, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s how Washington’s lineup will look if Johansson misses the game.
Tarasenko missed Wednesday's practice, but was back on the ice for Thursday's session and skated in the morning skate. He is feeling better and will play tonight. He will skate on a new line with Paul Stastny and Jori Lehtera.
Tarasenko missed Wednesday's practice session with an illness, but was back on the ice this morning. The Blues don't play until Friday, so his return to practice today is a good sign that he will be in the lineup tomorrow.
Bogosian will make his season debut tonight. Not the best matchup for a defenseman who missed the start of the season with a lower-body injury. The 25-year-old played an obscenely high 26:34 TOI with 2:32 coming on the power-play after being acquired by the Sabres last season. Bogosian had seven assists in 21 games with Buffalo and 20 points (3G / 10A) in 62 games overall. He is mobile for a big blueliner who possesses a heavy shot—30 points is not out of the realm of possibility.
Bogosian is expected to play this week and it could be as soon as Tuesday. Bogosian has yet to play this season because of a lower-body injury but has been practicing and is definitely close to play. The 25-year-old had seven assists while averaging 26:34 in 21 games with the Sabres last season.
Bogosian has missed the first 16 games of the season with a lower-body injury but returned to practice on Friday. Bogosian’s return suggests that Bogosian is nearing a return to the lineup. The Sabres are 8-8-0 so far this season, so getting Bogosian back could push them over the .500 hump.
Hartman had one assist in three games during his call-up, but has been reassigned to Rockford, which suggests that Marian Hossa, could return on Friday, but even if Hossa isn’t quite ready, Viktor Tikhonov has been waiting to get back into the lineup.
Tarasenko missed Saturday’s game because of a lower-body injury, but he will be back in the lineup on Tuesday versus the Kings. Tarasenko has 10 points (6G / 4A) and 46 shots on goal in 10 games this season.
Tarasenko missed Saturday’s game with a lower-body injury, but his return to practice on Monday is a good sign that Tarasenko could play on Tuesday vs. the Kings. Monitor his status after practice and during Tuesday’s morning skate.
Hartman, 21, has scored three goals and two assists in Rockford this season. He failed to record a points in five games with the Blackhawks last season. The 2012 30th overall pick could make his season debut this weekend.
Pitlick was recalled with Joey Laleggia this morning as a paper move to maximize the Oilers cap relief by placing Jordan Eberle (shoulder) on longterm injured reserve.
Pitlick, 23, has no points in two games with Bakersfield this season. He has been recalled because the Oilers have placed Rob Klinkhammer on IR.
Hinostroza had no points and four shots in four games since being recalled. Hinostroza has been returned to the AHL, which suggests that Bryan Bickell will be back in the lineup on Thursday in Winnipeg.
Foligno was held out of Saturday’s game vs. New Jersey, but was back at practice this morning and should be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Foligno has three assists in seven games this season.
