Gaborik returns … Guerin closer to retirement … Satan signing soon? Kuba to return on Saturday? Brodeur practices
  • Andrew Gross of the Bergon Record: Marian Gaborik will be back in the lineup for the New York Rangers tonight. Gaborik has missed 12 games with a separated shoulder. Defenseman Michal Rozsival could be out another 7-10 days.
  • Pierre LeBrun of ESPN: Bill Guerin hasn’t heard much in the last 2-3 weeks on a potential contract, and his side hasn’t actively pursued anything. Guerin is keeping his options open but it’s sounding like retirement is coming.
  • Ian Mendes via twitter: Pascal Leclaire will start for the Ottawa Senators versus the Canucks. Brian Elliot has a small injury, and Leclaire has played well against them in the past.
  • Tim Panaccio via twitter: Nothing to update on the Jeff Carter – Philadelphia Flyers contract negotiations, both sides are still talking.
