Kane has setback, doubtful for Friday … Pronger to see specialist tomorrow … Blues lose Johnson? Semin out day-to-day … Starting goalies
  • Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune: Patrick Kane has missed 4 games with an ankle injury suffered a setback today and is doubtful for Friday. Marian Hossa (lower body) and Viktor Stalberg (upper body) won’t be in the lineup on Friday either. Fernando Pisani should be in the lineup tomorrow, and Corey Crawford will be between the pipes.
  • Andy Strickland via True Hockey: St. Louis Blues defenseman Erik Johnson suffered a lower body injury last night after his left leg got tangled up with Pavel Datsyuk. He immediately grabbed his right knee. Johnson was able to leave the ice on his own, and will be re-evaluated today. Alex Pietrangelo is questionable for today’s game as well.
  • Wayne Scanlan via twitter: After 25 games as a healthy scratch, Senators defenseman Brian Lee will play in front of family and friends in Minnesota tonight.
  • Tom Gulitti via twitter: Martin Brodeur will start on Friday versus the Predators. Johan Hedberg may start Saturday against Atlanta.
