The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that Kari Lehtonen may be traded to Dallas.
Lehtonen did not go with the Thrashers to Colorado where they play the Avs on Wednesday. Stay tuned.
Marian Gaborik hurt his knee at Rangers' practice on Tuesday.
He suffered a laceration to his knee in a one-on-one drill against New York netminder Henrik Lundqvist. Gaborik attempted to jump over the Rangers' goalie, but ended up being cut on the play. He received stitches in the training room and assistant GM Jim Schoenfeld declined to comment if Gaborik would be able to play on Wednesday night. It is not believed to be serious though. Stay tuned.
Ryan Getzlaf is hopeful he will be able to return to the Ducks' lineup this weekend from an ankle injury he suffered on Monday.
"We're definitely hopeful for the weekend and see how things go from here," he said after feeling better Tuesday morning. "I'll probably know a little bit more tomorrow." Getzlaf has also not ruled out the possibility of playing in the Olympics for Team Canada. We will keep you posted.
Semyon Varlamov (knee/groin) practiced with his Capitals' teammates on Tuesday.
He will travel with the team, along with goalies Michal Neuvirth and Jose Theodore, on their road trip this week and coach Bruce Boudreau said he has a goaltending rotation worked out. However, he was not willing to share that information and his goalies are in the dark as well. The Capitals play three games this week, so it is conceivable that they could all see one start. Stay tuned.
Just a breif remainder that, Johan Franzen (knee) will be back in the Red Wings' lineup on Tuesday night.
He skated on Monday and is looking forward to playing in in his first game since Oct. 8 due to a torn ACL in his left knee. "Really excited," he said. "I had a good practice. This was my first practice actually being on a line so it was a lot more fun, did some more drills with some physical things in it. I needed that."
David Krejci should be alright to play in Tuesday's game after suffering a leg injury on Saturday.
He was on the ice for the Bruins' morning skate Tuesday and said he felt fine. Vladimir Sobotka will take the pregame warm-up and he may get into the lineup should Krejci suffer a setback. Feel free to dress Krejci if you normally would though.
Cam Ward's back injury will be monitored for a couple of weeks.
"After a couple of weeks, they'll have a better understanding of his condition," GM Jim Rutherford said. "They'd like to see how it settles down, let him rest, then go from there." Don't expect Ward to play in any of the Hurricanes' last three games before the Olympic break. Rutherford said that Ward may or may not require surgery, but for now the good news is that Carolina doesn't have any games scheduled between February 14th and March 2nd anyways. We'll keep you posted.
