Carter will play tonight after missing Friday's game. He has three goals and eight points through 15 games with the Blue Jackets.

Expect another update tomorrow but it looks highly likely that Carter draws back in. The first line center has already missed 11 of 26 games.

Carter is back on the ice for the first time since his initial injury. He may only need a few practices to draw back into the lineup so stay tuned.

Carter not skating is telling for fantasy hockey owners. Expect the top line center to remain sidelined for a few games with this more recent lower-body injury.

Not the best news on Letang as it appears he has a mild concussion. Expect a further update on his status but the offensive defenseman remains doubtful for next week's games.

Certainly sounds like the dreaded 'C' word. Expect an update on Letang following tonight's game.

The good news is Carter's injury is not related to his surgically repaired foot. Check back for a further word on his status as he likely misses more than a game.

If you own Carter, try to bench him for tonight's game. No word on who draws in but Derrick Brassard could have a chance to prove himself.

Sounds like Letang is banged up in more than one way as he has a broken nose, an illness and possible concussion. He is expected to miss at least two more games so expect a further update on him when the team returns home.

Both players are unlikely to play the next two games. You might want to look for an alternative option for the rest of the week.

Letang will be a game-time decision for tonight's game. Expect a further update on his status.

Letang remains questionable for tonight's game but taking the ice is a welcome sign. Expect a further update on the offensive defenseman.

Despite playing in the overtime period during Saturday's game, Letang may have a concussion. Stay tuned for a further word on his status.

Both players are banged up but they still will play today. If you own either player, keep them in your lineup.

Crosby will play in consecutive games after dazzling the world in his season debut. Coach Dan Blysma still wants to limit his minutes and could play him with fellow superstar Evgeni Malkin. Believe it or not, he did all of that damage in just over 15 minutes of ice time so production tonight should be expected.

Crosby draws in next to his usual linemates of Dupuis and Kunitz. The troika was together for most of his 25 game point streak of last year.

Get ready to put him in your lineup and start him with confidence!

At this point it remains up to him when he wants to return. We still feel he won't return until he hits home ice.

Crosby continues to skate and looked like a world beater this morning with his two very talented linemates. At this point it remains up to him when he wants to return.

If you own Crosby, make sure to keep him on your IR for the time being.
