The Wild are assuming that neither Guillaume Latendresse & Pierre-Marc Bouchard will be able to return from their concussions this season. Latendresse looked to be making progress as he was skating this week but then that stopped abruptly.

This will be the last I mention Mark Dekanich this season, as he's been shutdown for the rest of the season following ankle surgery... so much for that brilliant idea.

Travis Hamonic took a puck to the grill last night and he went to hospital to have it checked out... we'll let you know when we hear more.

Jason Arnott banged up his shoulder on Friday and the Blues held him out of last night's game... he's day-to-day.

Peter Mueller couldn't play yesterday due to the flu... let's hope it's just the flu.

Adam Henrique (groin) is expected to return to the lineup today.

Tom Gilbert (ankle) should be able to return on Monday.

Returning to action last night from the injured list: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins & Antti Niemi.
