Tom Gilbert was traded to Minnesota yesterday but he brings a bad back along with him. He's is just listed as day-to-day.

Still no real word on what is going on with Jonathan Toews. He has missed the last four with a UBI which some are speculating is a concussion. The team is saying that he should return soon but that seems weird as he hasn't been skating lately... lots of mixed signals here.

Nicklas Backstrom was place on LTIR by the Caps due to the concussion suffered back in early January. He hasn't been skating and there hasn't been many updates on his condition, so I wouldn't be expecting him back any time soon.

Zach Bogosian (foot) was a game-time decision for last night's game but was eventually held out. It sounds like he should be good to go on Thursday.

Returning to action from the injured list last night: Peter Mueller & Milan Hejduk.
