Jeff Petry (head) is good to go for tonight vs. Boston after receiving medical clearance, consisting of both physical and mental tests.

Petry missed Tuesday's game with a head injury. He will return to the lineup tonight on the Oilers third pair with Anton Belov. He has two goals and four assists with a minus-10 rating in 30 games.

Petry in; Corey Potter out.

Petry will get back into the lineup tonight after being a healthy scratch for Thursday's game vs. the Avalanche. Head coach Dallas Eakins said he wanted to "reset" Petry who had struggled in recent games. Petry has two goals and four assists to go along with a minus-10 rating in 29 games this year. He will be paired with Martin Marincin.

Petry will be a healthy scratch tonight as coach Dallas Eakins wants to "reset" the player.

Petry has two goals, four assists and a minus-10 rating in 29 games this season. He was a minus-2 in 17:28 in Monday's loss to the Coyotes. The Oilers are making a lot of changes tonight, Corey Potter and Phillp Larsen will draw in on D.

The Jets have placed Zach Bogosian (lower-body) on injured reserve.

Bogosian missed his third straight contest on Thursday after being injured on November 15. His placement on IR is retroactive to the 15th, which means he is eligible to return whenever he is healthy. No timetable has been established, but he is considered to be closer to week-to-week than day-to-day.

Winnipeg Jets defenceman Zach Bogosian is "week-to-week" with a groin strain, head coach Claude Noel said Sunday.

"He has a moderate groin strain and so he's more week-to-week right now," Noel told reporters Sunday morning. "That's pretty much where he's at. How many weeks? We'll just deal with week-to-week. We have to see how it progresses and stuff like that." Bogosian was hurt during the second period of Winnipeg's 3-2 shootout win over Philadelphia Friday evening. With Bogosian out, defenceman Zach Redmond made his first regular-season NHL appearance since he suffered a horrifying cut to his femoral artery during practice on Feb. 21. But while Redmond drew into the lineup, it was Keaton Ellerby who took Bogosian's customary position with Toby Enstrom against the Wild.

The Blackhawks have agreed to terms with forward Ryan Hartman on a three-year contract.

Hartman, 19, was the Blackhawks first round pick (30th overall) in this year's NHL Entry Draft. The 5-foot-11, 181 lbs. forward had 60 points (23G / 37A), a plus-29 rating and 120 PIMs in 56 games with the Plymouth Whalers last season. In 2013-14 he has 21 points (10G / 11A), a minus-14 rating and 38 PIMs in 20 games with Plymouth.

Bogosian (lower-body) will not play on Sunday.

Bogosian will return to Winnipeg where he will be reevaluated. Head coach Claude Noel hinted that his injury could be more serious than a day-to-day issue. There will be a more detailed injury report after he is evaluated on Sunday. This is a tough break for Bogosian, who had stared playing his best hockey of the season.

Bogosian (lower-body) left Friday's contest and did not return, he is also not on the ice this morning.

Bogosian played just 12:32 before departing for the dressing room for the night. The Jets have not announced what Bogosian is dealing with, but recalled Julian Melchiori in case Bogosian can not play tomorrow. Consider him day-to-day and questionable for Sunday.

Brodin (face) headed out to ice with teammates today.

Brodin has missed three games after breaking his cheekbone last Tuesday. Skating on Wednesday, means there is a good chance that he will be in the lineup on Friday. Brodin will be wearing a college-style cage when he returns, but the Wild could use his 23-plus TOI back on the blueline.

Brodin (cheek) could play tonight.

Brodin, who has a broken cheekbone, skated on his own Sunday and is close to trying to play through the injury inside a college-style facial cage. “I don’t think he’s been off long enough here where we have to worry about conditioning,” Wild head coach Mike Yeo said. Monitor Brodin's status throughout the day.

Jonas Brodin
As of now, coach Mike Yeo says no surgery is planned and Brodin may even skate tomorrow, although maybe not with the team. Brodin will obviously wear a full cage for awhile. So cautious good news right now.

It sounds like Brodin isn't going to be out for too long, so you can hold onto the emerging young defenseman while he recovers.
