Perron suffered the injury in Sunday’s win in Winnipeg. He will head back to California and is expected to miss the remaining four-games of the Ducks’ road-trip. Head coach Bruce Boudreau believes that Perron is week-to-week, so we may not see him on the ice for a few weeks. Expect Nick Ritchie to see increased playing time while Perron is out.
Perron suffered an upper-body injury in the Ducks win over the Jets on Sunday. He played just 5:07 TOI before retiring to the dressing room and his status for Tuesday’s game is in doubt. Consider him day-to-day until the Ducks announce further information.
Eller has missed the last two games with an illness, but will draw back into the lineup tonight in Buffalo. The two-way centre has 11 goals, 11 assists (22 points) and a minus-14 rating in 67 games this season. Stefan Matteau will be a healthy scratch with Eller back in.
Eller is expected to miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury that he suffered last Saturday. With Eller out, look for Lucas Lessio to remain in the lineup. Eller is listed as day-to-day.
Eller was listed as a game-time decision for tonight’s game, but he is not on the ice for warmups, so he will be replaced by Lucas Lessio. Eller is listed as day-to-day and questionable for Thursday’s game vs. the Sabres.
Eller missed Monday’s practice and is listed as a game-time decision for tonight’s meeting with Dallas. Monitor his status during pre-game warmups, but if he is unable to play look for Lucas Lessio to get into the lineup.
Giroux will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury. Sean Couturier is expected to return which will help with Giroux out, but they’ll be in tough without their leading scorer. Giroux is considered day-to-day.
Giroux missed Saturday’s game in Toronto and his absence from this morning’s practice suggests that Giroux will miss a second straight game on Tuesday. Thankfully for the Flyers, it looks like Sean Couturier will return to the lineup, which should ease the loss of Giroux.
Jensen was recalled for Monday’s game, but did not get into the lineup. He has been sent down to play with Grand Rapids over the NHL All-Star break.
Perron will be a unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. Despite playing the majority of the season with Sidney Crosby, Perron had just 16 points (4G / 12A) in 43 games. He could slide into Hagelin’s spot in the Ducks top six, but he remains a low-end wing option in standard 12-team leagues.
Ullmark has gone 7-10-0 with a 2.58 GAA and .915 SV% in 19 games with the Sabres this season, but with Robin Lehner back, Ullmark heads back to Rochester. Ullmark is 1-2-0 with a 2.72 GAA and .932 SV% with the Americans.
Ullmark stopped 42 of 44 shots in the Sabres win in Winnipeg on Sunday. The win was his first since December 12th and his sixth (6-10-2) on the season. Tonight he will start in Minnesota—the 22-year-old has gone 3-1-2 with a 2.59 GAA and .927 SV% on the road this season. The Wild have lost four of their last six.
