Mon, May 20Recent News
- Beauchemin underwent successful reconstructive surgery on a ligament in his right knee last Thursday, the Globe and Mail reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: The 32-year-old played for a month with the torn ligament in his knee, but following the Ducks' elimination from the playoffs last week, he decided to go under the knife. Beauchemin, who put up 24 points (6G, 18A) and a plus-19 rating during the regular season, hopes to return in time for the start of next season.

- Redden (undisclosed injury) was present at practice Monday, the Boston Globe reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Redden's status for Tuesday's Game 3 against the Rangers is unclear, but given how well youngsters Torey Krug, Dougie Hamilton and Matt Bartkowski have filled in on the banged-up B's blue line, there's no compelling reason to rush Redden back.
Mon, May 20Recent News
- The Sabres re-signed Scott to a one-year deal on Monday, the Associated Press reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Scott fills a tough-guy role and the buck ends there, as he has a miniscule five points in 180 career games. That said, he has 305 penalty minutes across that time, so you can usually be sure when he's out there that he's ready to mix it up with someone. Scott played 34 games with the Sabres last season and was third on the team with 69 PIMs.

- Seidenberg (leg) was present at practice Monday, the Boston Globe reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Look for both Seidenberg and Wade Redden to make the trip to New York, where the Bruins play Tuesday, but it's unclear if either of them will be ready to play. The trio of of Matt Bartkowski, Dougie Hamilton and Torey Krug has performed well in the absence of Seidenberg, Redden and Andrew Ference, but the sturdy minute-gobbling Seidenberg would no doubt be a welcome addition to the team's lineup.
Sun, May 19
- Hannan missed about six minutes of action early in the second period of Saturday's Game 3 against the Kings after sliding face-first into the boards.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: After a brief respite, he returned to action and skated an otherwise normal complement of shifts. There's no indication that he won't be able to go in Tuesday's Game 4.
Sun, May 19
- Ference (lower body) won't play Sunday against the Rangers, the Boston Herald reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Ference, who was injured back on May 10 in Game 5 of the B's first-round playoff series against Toronto, is still not skating, suggesting that his return to action is not imminent.
Sun, May 19
- Boychuk scored a goal in Sunday's win over the Rangers in Game 2 of the Bruins' second-round playoff series.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Boychuk notched just one goal in 44 regular season games, but his dangerous shot has already hit the back of the net three times in nine playoff games to date.
Sat, May 18
- Greene (lower body) has been scratched from Saturday's lineup for Game 3.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Greene has only played in five games this season and hasn't been in the lineup since Apr. 24. His status going forward remains unknown, but he is not likely to be a major contributor through the remainder of the playoffs.
Sat, May 18
- Edler has been suspended for the remainder of the IIHF World Championships for his knee-to-knee hit on Eric Staal, the Vancouver Province reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Sweden will have to play without Edler in Saturday's semifinal match against Finland and the following medal game.
Sat, May 18
- Martinez was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's Game 3.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: The team did not state a reason for the move and has not provided any information regarding his status for Game 4. Martinez has seen his ice time decrease slightly in the first two games of the series, and he played just 11:49 in Game 2.
Fri, May 17
- Staal (eye) resumed skating during Friday's practice, the New York Daily News reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Staal, who had been practicing most everyday since sustaining the eye injury, had recently stopped skating over the last several days but will now return to his normal routine. He was only able to play in one game of the first-round series against the Capitals but his vision issues continue to persist in the game.
Fri, May 17
- Keith team's official Twitter account missed practice Friday but Coach Joel Quenneville said he is "fine" and is expected to play Saturday.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Keith, along with Michal Handzus, are simply sitting out to rest in preparation for Saturday's Game 2.
Fri, May 17
- Stuart had a goal and an assist, with a plus-2 rating, in the Sharks loss Thursday.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Stuart isn't known for putting points on the board, only tallying six points in 48 games during the regular season, but he played a big role for the Sharks on Thursday.
Fri, May 17
- Vlasic had a goal, three shots, and a plus-1 rating Thursday.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Vlasic took a tough hit Thursday, but returned to the game and scored a huge goal for San Jose. It wasn't enough though, as San Jose lost in the closing minutes of the game. With two points in six games during the playoffs, don't look to Vlasic for big fantasy numbers.
Fri, May 17
- Letang will be in the lineup Friday against the Senators.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Letang missed Friday's morning skate, but it doesn't sound as though any sort of injury is at play here. He'll be part of his usual pairing with Matt Niskanen.
Fri, May 17
- Benoit will be in the lineup for Friday's Game 2 against the Penguins, TSN's Brent Wallace reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Benoit will fill in for Eric Gryba, who is out Friday with an upper-body injury. Benoit has 10 points in 33 games this season.
