Tim Connolly is expected to take Bozak’s place on the Leafs’ top line alongside Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul. Bozak will miss the next week at a minimum with the injury, which wasn’t specifically described.

Ironically, the defenseman that laid out one of the hits that sidelined Sidney Crosby long-term is out with a concussion of his own. The second overall pick in 2009 was averaging over 22 minutes per game for the Bolts.

Duchene’s knee was injured when he caught his skate in a rut during Thursday’s game against Phoenix. Further tests will be done once the swelling subsides on the knee, so there is a possibility that he could be out longer.

Ruff did not disclose the type of injury that his defenseman suffered. Ehrhoff, who signed a ten-year free agent contract in the offseason, has not been a star for fantasy teams (17 points and a -11 in 36 games). Move him to your bench.

Ovechkin, a first overall pick in many fantasy leagues, is starting to find his way following indifferent play for much of the season. He has five goals in seven games and now sits at 14 goals on the season.

Assuming that he clears waivers, Avery will be assigned to the AHL’s Connecticut Whale. Avery has been a healthy scratch for the Rangers’ last nine games, so he doesn’t seem to be in the Rangers’ plans anymore. He should not be owned in any fantasy leagues.

Morrow has missed time this season because of that same injured knee, so he was probably taken out of the game as a precaution. However, his status for Saturday’s game against Boston remains unclear.

Wisniewski took a puck to his leg during the second period. He may not be out for the season, but it sounds like he will miss at least a few weeks. It has not been a memorable first season in Columbus for Wiz, who started the season with an eight-game suspension and currently holds a dreadful (-18) rating.

Duchene will be re-evaluated on Friday, but he was wearing a knee brace after the game. Check back for further updates, but it sounds like he will miss some time.

Not a surprise, but the twins are both in the top five in NHL scoring. With 45 points, Hank is only one point behind Claude Giroux for the NHL scoring lead. Daniel is in a three-way tie for third place, just two points behind his brother. With 17 goals, Daniel has seven more goals than Henrik, however.
