Senators General Manager Pierre Dorion said Stone won’t play “soon” and his injury should be “measured in weeks.” This is a big blow to the Senators’ late-season push for the Atlantic Division and to fantasy owners alike.
Stone was hurt in Thursday’s game in Arizona and will come out of the lineup tonight in Colorado. Phil Varone was recalled from Binghamton (AHL) yesterday and will replace Stone in the lineup tonight.
Barbashev has been a healthy scratch for the last three games, but will replace Jori Lehtera in the lineup on Saturday. Barbashev has just two goals and one assist in his first 14 career NHL games.
Marner has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury, but will play tonight in San Jose. Marner has had an outstanding rookie season, having scored 15 goals with 33 assists (48 points) in 56 games. Marner will reclaim his spot on the second line with Tyler Bozak and James van Riemsdyk.
Hutton missed Saturday’s game with what was believed to be mumps, but he was misdiagnosed. Hutton is feeling better and will suit up tonight vs. the Red Wings. He comes into Tuesday with four goals and 11 assists (15 points) in 50 games this season.
Marner will miss his fifth consecutive games with an upper-body injury that he suffered 10 days ago. Marner was on the ice for the Maple Leafs’ morning skate and head coach Mike Babcock said that he looked like the best player out there and didn’t know why he’s not playing tonight.
Marner will miss his fourth consecutive games with an upper-body injury that he suffered last Wednesday. Marner skated with a small group of players this morning, which is a good sign, but monitor his status leading up to Saturday’s game vs. Montreal.
Stone missed Tuesday’s game in New Jersey with a neck injury that he suffered on a hit from Jacob Trouba on Sunday. Stone was fortunate to avoid a concussion on the play and could end up only missing two games. Monitor his status leading up to the Sunday-Monday back-to-back.
Barbashev had two goals and one assist in 12 games during his call-up. The Blues bye week starts today, so Barbashev and Magnus Paajarvi have been returned to Chicago, but are expected to return to the Blues before their game on Sunday.
Marner will miss his third consecutive game with an upper-body injury, but his movement to IR was a way to create a roster spot to recall Frederik Gauthier and Marner remains a possibility for Thursday’s game against the Rangers. With Marner out, Josh Leivo will skate in the top-6 again tonight.
Stone was down on the ice for a bit before retiring to the dressing room for the night. Trouba faces a hearing for the hit, but Stone could be out of the lineup longer. The Senators also lost Mike Hoffman and Tommy Wingels last night, so they need some good news on the injury front.
Marner left Wednesday’s game in Columbus after crashing hard into the side boards and missed yesterday’s practice, so it’s not a big surprise that head coach Mike Babcock announced that Marner will miss both games of the Maple Leafs’ Saturday-Sunday back-to-back. He is considered day-to-day.
Theodore failed to record a point while playing in five straight games, and will head back to San Diego (AHL), which suggests Sami Vatanen (lower-body) will return to the lineup. Theodore has fallen behind Brandon Montour on the depth chart, which is why he’s heading back and Montour stays.
Marner was hurt on Wednesday and missed today’s practice, which puts his status for Saturday’s game in serious jeopardy. Head coach Mike Babcock called the rookie “day-to-day” and will likely have more on him after Saturday’s morning skate.
Marner was hurt when he went hard into the side boards, but took his next shift before eventually retiring to the dressing room for the night. Marner played just 9:56 TOI and is questionable for Saturday’s game vs. the Senators. Monitor his status as the week progresses.
Hutton has been sidelined by a fracture in his hand since January 6th, but will be back in tonight in Nashville. Hutton has collected 11 points (4G / 7A) in 41 games so far this season. Philip Larsen will be the healthy scratch with Hutton returning.
Theodore might set a record for the most call-ups in a season at this rate. The 21-year-old has just eight points (1G / 7A) in 25 games with the Ducks and nine points (1G / 8A) in 13 games with the Gulls.
