Marchessault has just one assist and a minus-3 rating, but did register 10 shots on goal in four preseason games. However, it was not enough to earn him a spot on the Lightning’s opening night roster.
Josi will be held out of the season finale despite playing all 81 games leading up to today. I’m sure playing all 82 games doesn’t mean much when you can take a much needed day-off before the playoffs. Josi had a splendid season, scoring 15 goals (tied for 6th among defenemen) and 55 points (t-5th).
Marchessault, 24, has 23 goals and 41 assists in 64 games with Syracuse this season. He will probably suit up tonight while the Lightning give one of their forwards a rest.
Marchessault, 24, has registered 21 goals and 36 assists (57 points) in 60 games with Syracuse this season. He has been recalled because Cedric Paquette is out with a leg injury.
Oesterle, 22, had one assist in six games with the Oilers during his call-up. His return to the AHL suggests that Nikita Nikitin could be back in the lineup on Thursday in Pittsburgh. Oesterle heads back to the AHL where he has 21 points (6G / 15A) in 49 games on the Oklahoma City blue line.
Borowiecki has been out with a leg injury since December 27th, but will return today vs. Arizona. He has five assists and 62 PIMS in 30 games this season.
Borowiecki has missed the last nine games, but was back at practice this morning. He likely won’t be in the lineup on Tuesday, but should be back by the end of the All Star break.
Borowiecki suffered a lacerated leg during a pre-game soccer game in the hallway. His cut required 48 stitches in three layers. He will be in a boot for the next week and then they will decide where to go from there. The Senators will likely recall a D-man from the AHL.
Chris Phillips was expected to get back into the lineup tonight, but it was supposed to be for Patrick Wiercioch. There is no word whether Borowiecki is dealing with an injury or if he is a healthy scratch. Wiercioch will be in.
Forsberg has 8 goals and 20 points in 16 games this season.
Borowiecki has missed the last three games with an undisclosed injury, but will be back in the lineup tonight and start on the top pairing with Erik Karlsson. He has one assist in eight games so far.
Borowiecki has missed the last three games with an undisclosed. There is no word on what is ailing Borowiecki, but his return to the ice this morning is a good sign that he could be back tomorrow vs. the Wild.
Coach Maclean would not elaborate on why Boroweicki will not play tonight, but Patrick Wiercioch will enter the lineup for the the unavailable defenseman.
Marchessault played 12:33 and recorded one shot with a minus-1 rating in his Lightning debut on Saturday. With Marchessault heading back to Syracuse, expect J.T Brown and/or Alex Killorn to be back in the Lightning lineup on Tuesday. Marchessault has two goals and five assists in six games with the Crunch.
Marchessault, 23, had a hot start with Syracuse, scoring two goals with four assists (6 points) in the first five games. He has two games of NHL experience (with CBJ) but is expected to make his Lightning debut tonight with Ryan Callahan, Alex Killorn, JT Brown and Brett Connolly all sidelined with injuries.
Forsberg scored his first goal of the season last night and has now recorded at least one point in the first three games of the season. He has one goal and three assists so far and should only continue to produce on the Predators top line with Ribeiro and Neal, who could use a jump-start (1G between the two of them). Forsberg is only owned in 19% of Yahoo! leagues and is definitely worth taking a look at in 12-team leagues.
The Avalanche and O'Reilly have been working on a deal for awhile, and while it wasn't the long-term deal that O'Reilly was seeking, but the $6 million per year, is a huge raise for the 23-year-old. He had a great 2013-14 season, posting 28 goals and 36 assists (54 points) in 80 games. The most impressive thing for O'Reilly was he only took one minor penalty in the entire season. He will play a big role in the Avs' top-6 this season, where he will shoot for his first 30-goal season.
Stamkos left last night's game after taking a knee to the head. Good news that the Lightning captain will be back for Game 4 with this team down 3-0 in the series.
