Dallas has recalled Matt Murray from the Texas Stars (AHL) to backup Jake Oettinger in the interim. Wedgewood was excellent in his last outing, saving 27 of 28 shots (.964 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings and will likely return to the team on Friday for their contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Parise has been effective since being signed by Coloraod last month but has missed the last three games due to a lower-body injury. The 39-year-old forward has seven points (4G / 3A) in 15 games while averaging 14:15 time-on-ice.
Lehkonen has been absent from the last two games but could return to the lineup on Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers. The 28-year-old Lehkonen has been tremendous lately, tallying 13 points (8G / 5A) in his last 12 games.
Sharks head coach Dan Quinn stated earlier today that multiple Sharks were dealing with an illness, so that is what's likely holding MacDonald out of the lineup. Kevin Labanc will draw in as the Sharks will be forced to dress 13 forwards and only five defensemen.
Lehkonen has been absent from the last two practices and will not play against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night. The 28-year-old Lehkonen has been tremendous lately, tallying 13 points (8G / 5A) in his last 12 games. Valeri Nichushkin is expected to take Lehkonen's spot on the top powerplay unit.
Kelly will be sidelined for two games after his hit on Englund in Thursday's game in Los Angeles. Kelly will be eligible to return from his suspension for next Thursday's game in Columbus.
