Marcus Johansson has been named to the Swedish Olympic team as an injury replacement and will take the place of Vancouver’s Henrik Sedin.

Sedin has been playing through a rib injury for much of the last month and was visibly in pain on the ice, prompting the Canucks to sit him out of their last two games before the break. It will be Johansson’s first Olympic appearance. is in his fourth NHL season and is steadily adding to his offensive totals again this year. In 58 games for the Capitals, Johansson has seven goals and 29 assists. His addition is the second injury replacement in a week that Sweden, favored to be medal contenders in Sochi, has needed to make for ailing veterans.

Updating an earlier report; Spurgeon will NOT return to the WIld blueline tonight.

Just kidding! There were reports that Spurgeon looked in line to return to the Wild's blueline tonight, but he will end up being held out of his 14th consecutive game. Keith Ballard will stay in the lineup.

Spurgeon (foot) may return for the Wild Saturday.

Spurgeon, who has missed the past 13 games with a broken foot, might return against the Flames. Spurgeon didn’t take part in a regular pairing during Friday’s practice, but the Wild made sure to get him plenty of reps. “I thought he looked really good moving the puck and showed no problems whatsoever working in the D zone,” coach Mike Yeo said. If Spurgeon returns, Keith Ballard would be the likely scratch.

Fleury starts vs. in Phoenix.

Fleury stopped all 24 shots that he faced in 3-0 shutout win over the Sabres on Monday. It was Fleury's NHL leading 29th win of the season and his fourth shutout. Tonight he will go head-to-head with Mike Smith, a goalie who was selected instead of Fleury for Team Canada. Smith has lost three of four, so Fleury is a strong start tonight.

The Penguins had four days off in between games, which likely had something to do with their poor play. Tonight Fleury faces a Habs team who have alternated win-loss in their last eight contests.

Fleury starts for the Penguins, rest of the lineup is a game-time decision.

Fleury allowed three goals on 28 shots in a win over the Capitals on Wednesday. It was his fifth straight win and his league leading 27th of the year. His GAA and SV% having been taking a hit lately (3.09 / .898 over the last nine starts) but in win-only leagues he is fantasy gold. There is a good chance he moves to 6-0-0 in January when he faces the Panthers tonight, plus the Penguins could get as many as four players returning to their lineup tonight.
