The Wild has sustained a significant loss in its lineup for at least the next fews weeks as Spurgeon, who has played alongside Ryan Suter the past two games and was plus-3 in 27 minutes against Buffalo on Thursday, will be sidelined with a lower-body injury. He has been placed on injured reserve. Jonas Brodin will move back to the right side with Suter and Nate Prosser will move to the second pair with Marco Scandella.
Spurgeon will be out for the next seven days, they have recalled Brett Bulmer from Iowa (AHL).
Keaton Ellerby will enter the lineup with Bogosian out. Consider Bogosian day-to-day and monitor his status prior to Sunday's game against the Avalanche.
Not skating this morning would suggest that Bogosian is out tonight. He has skated in the last three games after missing time with a groin injury. If Bogosian can not go then Keaton Ellerby would enter the lineup.
Bogosian has been out since November 15, but will be back on a pair with Tobias Enstrom vs. Florida tonight. Bogosian has one goal, three assists and a plus-8 in 21 games.
The 23-year-old defenseman has been out since November 15, but was paired with Tobias Enstrom this morning indicating that he will be in the lineup tomorrow vs. Florida. He has one goal, three assists and a plus-8 rating in 21 games.
Bogosian has been out since October 15 but is feeling better. There is still no timeline for his return, but he has been upgraded to day-to-day. Head coach Claude Noel doesn't expect him to play on this trip.
Pitlick had been recovering from a knee injury that has kept him out of the lineup since October 26. He could return to the Oilers once he gets back up to speed in the AHL.
Bogosian will miss his ninth straight game after being injured on November 15.
Bogosian missed his third straight contest on Thursday after being injured on November 15. His placement on IR is retroactive to the 15th, which means he is eligible to return whenever he is healthy. No timetable has been established, but he is considered to be closer to week-to-week than day-to-day.
"He has a moderate groin strain and so he's more week-to-week right now," Noel told reporters Sunday morning. "That's pretty much where he's at. How many weeks? We'll just deal with week-to-week. We have to see how it progresses and stuff like that." Bogosian was hurt during the second period of Winnipeg's 3-2 shootout win over Philadelphia Friday evening. With Bogosian out, defenceman Zach Redmond made his first regular-season NHL appearance since he suffered a horrifying cut to his femoral artery during practice on Feb. 21. But while Redmond drew into the lineup, it was Keaton Ellerby who took Bogosian's customary position with Toby Enstrom against the Wild.
Hartman, 19, was the Blackhawks first round pick (30th overall) in this year's NHL Entry Draft. The 5-foot-11, 181 lbs. forward had 60 points (23G / 37A), a plus-29 rating and 120 PIMs in 56 games with the Plymouth Whalers last season. In 2013-14 he has 21 points (10G / 11A), a minus-14 rating and 38 PIMs in 20 games with Plymouth.
Bogosian will return to Winnipeg where he will be reevaluated. Head coach Claude Noel hinted that his injury could be more serious than a day-to-day issue. There will be a more detailed injury report after he is evaluated on Sunday. This is a tough break for Bogosian, who had stared playing his best hockey of the season.
Bogosian played just 12:32 before departing for the dressing room for the night. The Jets have not announced what Bogosian is dealing with, but recalled Julian Melchiori in case Bogosian can not play tomorrow. Consider him day-to-day and questionable for Sunday.
Brodin missed three games with a broken cheekbone that he suffered on October 22. He will be in the lineup tonight vs. Montreal with a college-style cage. The young defenseman has three goals and three assists while averaging 23:14 TOI in 10 games.
Brodin has missed three games after breaking his cheekbone last Tuesday. Skating on Wednesday, means there is a good chance that he will be in the lineup on Friday. Brodin will be wearing a college-style cage when he returns, but the Wild could use his 23-plus TOI back on the blueline.
Brodin, who has a broken cheekbone, skated on his own Sunday and is close to trying to play through the injury inside a college-style facial cage. “I don’t think he’s been off long enough here where we have to worry about conditioning,” Wild head coach Mike Yeo said. Monitor Brodin's status throughout the day.
It sounds like Brodin isn't going to be out for too long, so you can hold onto the emerging young defenseman while he recovers.
Zuccarello has struggled, recording no points in seven games.
He is out indefinitely and a timetable will be announced once it's determined. As of now, the Wild says this is relatively good news because there was originally a concern he had a broken jaw. More after practice, but as of now, Matt Dumba has taken Brodin's spot on the No. 2 power-play unit
