Braun (groin) is expected to miss the rest of January.

Braun left Saturday's game in Arizona in the third period and head coach Alain Vigneault said he suffered a groin tweak and will be out through the All-Star break. With Braun not available for Monday's practice, Travis Sanheim and Philippe Myers were together and Robert Hagg and Shayne Gostisbehere were on the third pair.

The Predators have placed Ryan Ellis (upper-body) on IR.

Ellis was knocked out of the Winter Classic after being elbowed in the face by Corey Perry early in the first period. The Predators are still calling it an "upper-body injury" but it sure looked like a concussion. The Predators used the roster spot to call-up, Alexandre Carrier, from Milwaukee (AHL).

Konecny (concussion) will return to the Flyers lineup on Tuesday.

Konecny missed the last three games with a concussion that he suffered on December 7th vs. the Senators. He was back on the is for Monday's morning skate and will play on the top line with Claude Giroux and Sean Couturier. Konecny has three goals and one assist in his last four games.

Konecny is out indefinitely with a concussion.

Konecny was forced to leave Saturday's game against the Senators after being crushed by Mark Borowiecki in open ice. Konecny was visually shaken by the hit, left immediately and did not return to the game. On Monday, the Flyers announced that he is out indefinitely with a concussion, so expect him to miss at least one week.

The Blackhawks have recalled Dennis Gilbert from Rockford (AHL).

Gilbert could dress as a seventh defenseman if Dylan Strome (concussion) can't play on Thursday but could be the extra defenseman during their two-game road-trip if Strome is good-to-go in Boston. The 23-year-old has no points in three NHL games this season and just two assists in 11 AHL games this season.
