Weber will likely miss a couple of games, which will hurt the Predators, but it could have been much worse. He is obviously out tonight and should be considered questionable for Tuesday's contest with the Canucks.
Weber took a puck in the face on Thursday and did not return to the game. The injury was near his eye which is always a scary scene, especially when it is your team's best player. He has been listed as day-to-day by the Predators so he is not expected to be out long-term at this point. Seth Jones will likely slide onto the top-pair with Roman Josi while Weber is sidelined.
Weber was hit close to his eye in Thursday's loss to the Oilers. The Predators are going to wait unti Saturday before they decide if he can play. It was a scary looking incident so it is good that he is labeled as just day-to-day.
The Coyotes placed Rostislav Klesla on waivers yesterday, he cleared so likely going to the AHL, so Murphy will be in the lineup tonight. Murphy played 22:32 and scored his first career goal in his NHL debut on November 16. He scored in the NHL before he scored in the AHL, posting five assists in 12 games with Portland.
Murphy was the 20th overall pick in the 2011 NHL Draft. The 20-year-old played two seasons in the OHL with the Sarnia Sting posting 44 points (14 G / 30 A) in 68 games. This season he has five assists in 10 games with Portland. He will enter the lineup with Derek Morris and Zbynek Michalek unlikely to play.
Foligno sat out of Tuesday's game because of personal reasons, but he returns to the Blue Jackets top line tonight. Foligno has three goals and three assists in 10 games.
Foligno had just been moved to the first line with Brandon Dubinsky and Marian Gaborik, but he will not be in the lineup tonight. Artem Anisimov will slide into the top line LW spot, while Sean Collins draws in on the fourth line.
Sean Collins who was just recently called-up will likely be in the lineup.
Teravainen will be heading back to Finland this season but is a sleeper name worth stashing in deep dynasty leagues as he's been impressing veterans like Patrick Kane in camp.
Ellis only played one game during his call-up. He played 20:11, recorded no points and was a minus-1. He will return to the AHL where he has four goals and six assists in 24 games.
Ellis has two goals and four assists in 31 games with the Predators this season.
Ellis was a healthy scratch in the Predators last game. He is the definition of an offensive-defenseman but he has had a hard time scoring this season. He had just two goals and four assists in 31 games.
The 19 year old wasn't expected to make the jump this season so adjust your dynasty ranks accordingly.
Foligno has dropped off the fantasy radar in recent years but could see a top six role this season with the Blue Jackets.
No suspension for Weber in what some might argue is a light penalty for his "WWE-like" move at the end of Game 1.
Foligno moves up to the second line for tonight's game. He scored 14 goals and 44 points in 76 games.
Sounds like Ellis is the healthy scratch tonight. He scored three goals and 10 points in 28 games.
Sounds like Ellis should get back into the lineup shortly. The rookie has three goals and nine points in 22 games.
The rookie has been given a vote of confidence for the rest of the season. He has three goals and nine points in 22 games.
Ellis comes back up to the Predators and could play tonight. He has three goals and nine points in 22 games.
