Sheary (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Friday.

Sheary has been sidelined by an upper-body injury since January 31st, but has been skating and took part in the morning skate, so there’s a good chance he returns to the lineup tonight. He skated with Sidney Crosby this morning, so if he plays, make sure you get him back in your lineup. He has registered 17 goals and 18 assists (35 points) in 42 games this season.

Quick was the first goalie off of the ice at the morning skate.

Greiss was pulled after allowing three goals on 17 shots in the Islanders’ blowout loss in Columbus on Saturday. He ended up going 5-5-0 with a 3.16 GAA And .891 SV% in February—a significantly worse month than January. Greiss posted a 23-save shutout in his only start against the Stars this season.

The Penguins have recalled Derrick Pouliot from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL).

Pouliot has spent the majority of the year with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, where he has registered five goals and nine assists (14 points) in 32 games this season. The 23-year-old had 14 points (2G / 12A) in 63 career NHL games and could be in the lineup on Wednesday because the Penguins are dealing with a multitude of injuries on the back-end.

Quick leads the Kings onto the ice for warmups.

Quick allowed one goal on 33 shots in the Kings’ win over the Ducks on Saturday. It was an impressive return to the crease for Quick, who will have a new backup tonight after the Kings acquired Ben Bishop. Quick draws a rough matchup tonight in Minnesota—the Wild have gone 21-8-1 on home ice this season.

Quick (groin) leads the Kings onto the ice for warmups.

Quick stopped 14 of 15 shots in the Kings’ season opener before leaving with a groin injury. Quick has missed the last four and a half months, but will make his return to the crease today vs. the Ducks. Quick is one of fantasy hockey’s top netminders and went 40-23-5 with a 2.22 GAA and .918 SV% in 2015-16.

Quick (groin) coming off of IR for Saturday’s game is “possible.”

Quick has been sidelined since the season opener by a groin injury, but General Manager Dean Lombardi said it’s “possible” that Quick is activated from IR and starts this afternoon’s game. Don’t expect to hear about Quick’s status until just before this afternoon’s 4p.m. ET puck-drop.

The Avalanche sent Spencer Martin to San Antonio (AHL).

Calvin Pickard has played well recently, so the Avalanche likely want to allow Martin to get some games in with San Antonio while Pickard starts with the big club. He has swapped places with Jeremy Smith and goes to the Rampage with a 15-10-0 record, 2.72 GAA and .912 SV% in 28 games.

Spencer Martin
Martin will start Wednesday in Los Angeles.

Martin allowed five goals on 26 shots in Colorado’s loss to San Jose on January 23rd. Martin allowed eight goals on 56 shots (.857 SV%) in his first two NHL starts—both vs. San Jose. Martin will make his third appearance tonight and will come against a Kings team that also played last night.

Spencer Martin
Sheary will miss 4-6 weeks with an upper-body injury.

Sheary was hurt during Tuesday’s win over the Predators and will miss at least one month. This is a tough break for the young winger, who has built up a great chemistry with Sidney Crosby this season. Sheary is third on the Penguins in goals (17) and his injury should allow Chris Kunitz or Jake Guentzel to move to the top line.
