Skinner still in yellow.
Skinner continues to skate in a no-contact jersey. Even though fantasy hockey owners likely wish he would progress quicker, his constant presence during practice is a great sign.

#Habs Cunneyworth says Price will start tomorrow vs. Blues... Oh, and Halak too.
In three career starts against the Blues, Price has a 1-1-1 record with a 2.87 GAA and .888 SV%.
Blues just announced they have signed winger Ryan Reaves two a 2-year contract extension #stlblues
Reaves is a very serviceable enforcer for the Blues. He has 48 PIM through 25 games.
Was thinking Skinner might be out of yellow today. Not so though.
Skinner continues to play without contact as the Canes take it easy with their youngster. If he continues to progress, he could shed the yellow jersey this week.
Skinner with team, continues solid progress.
Skinner still has no timetable for his return. He last played on December 7th.
Goalie Start
#lightning Mathieu Garon vs #canadiens Carey Price
In 12 career starts against the Bolts, Price has a 5-5-2 record with a 2.70 GAA and .907 SV%.
Line Change
#Blues forward Ryan Reaves has been taken off IR...likely to play tonight
Reaves could drop the glove with Shane O'Brien or Cody McLeod.
D Colin White placed on IR #sjsharks
White last played on December 26th and is eligible to come off IR at any time. He has no fantasy hockey value.
Goalie Start
He will face Carey Price.
In 13 career appearances against the Jets, Price is 6-3-3 with a 2.51 GAA and .914 SV%.
@HMof2 Probably so. Skinner most likely won't be cleared for contact until the end of the week at the earliest.
All concussions are different but it looks like there is an outside shot Skinner returns this month. The reigning Rookie of the Year has 12 goals and 24 points through 30 games.
Jeff Skinner skating again today in yellow.
Skinner continues to skate, which is a great sign for the Canes. The next step now is taking contact.
Pretty strong practice today. A lot of skating. Probably pretty good test for Skinner.
Skinner skated for the first time since getting concussed. The reigning Rookie of the Year has 12 goals and 24 points through 30 games.
Goalie Start
#canadiens Carey Price vs #panthers
In six career starts against the Panthers, Price has a 3-3-0 record with a 2.33 GAA, .927 SV% and one shutout.
#NHL_Canes Jeff Skinner has been on the RBC Center ice on his own, still no timetable for a return from his concussion.
Great sign that Skinner is back on the ice. If he continues at this pace, we may see him lace them up again this season.
Goalie Start
Mathieu Garon contre Carey Price ce soir.
In 11 career starts against the Lightning, Price has a 5-4-2 record with a 2.58 GAA and .913 SV%.
Just got off the phone with Carolina GM Jim Rutherford. Still no timeline for Jeff Skinner's return from concussion.
Skinner is a dynamic scorer with the potential to win a Rocket Richard Trophy over his NHL career. However, the Markham, Ontario native last played on December 7th and is clogging up most owner's IR slot.
As expected, Blues activate B.J. Crombeen & place Ryan Reaves on IR. #stlblues
Turns out Reaves is actually injured and not just scratched. He has no points through 24 games with 36 PIM.
Convenient, as Colin White didn't skate today after leaving early last night.
Sounds like White could miss a game or two as he hasn't been skating since leaving last night's game.
Line Change
@Chasenpucks39 reports Ryan Reaves is out. #stlblues
The Red Wings don't dress an enforcer so playing Reaves is relatively pointless.
Goalie Start
#Hab Price in goal tomorrow vs Senators
In 16 career appearances against the Sens, Price has a 9-5-0 record with a 2.35 GAA, .916 SV% and three shutouts.
