Letang missed Sunday's practice and was not on the ice again this morning because of an illness. The Penguins have locked up the Eastern Conference so there is no need for their star players to be playing if they aren't at 100%.
Although Karlsson has started practicing and appears to be nearing a return, he will not play tonight. He might not play in the regular season but his status is worth keeping an eye on.
Karlsson is practicing again this morning. He looks like he is ready to return to the Senators lineup soon, which is nothing short of miraculous. If he is available in your league, pick him up. We'll have to wait and see if he will be in the lineup tonight when the Sens take on the Penguins. Monitor his status later in the day.
He will sit out his third consecutive game because of a shoulder injury.
Karlsson has not been cleared to return by any means so even a speculative add wouldn't be worth burning the roster spot at this point. He attended practice for the team photo.
Not a lot of games tonight but keep Malkin on the bench of your forward slots are full.
Great news for Sens fans but probably a little too late for fantasy owners.
Not fantasy relevant
Looks like Malkin may miss a second straight game after re-aggravating an upper body injury.
Letang has missed the Penguins last five games with a broken toe. He was leading all NHL defenseman in points before he got hurt with 28 points in 28 games. Make sure to get him back in your lineup.
Karlsson was injured in a Feb. 13 game against the Pittsburgh Penguins when his left Achilles was cut by Matt Cooke’s left skate. He had surgery to repair the tendon the next day. He has been skating for 30-40 minutes daily at the Bell Sensplex, fueling speculation he may return this season.
Letang returned to practice yesterday, but remains out with a broken toe.
Karlsson skated yesterday for the firs time since getting his achilles sliced. He is still likely to miss the rest of the regular season, but you never know. This is an incredible recovery and he should at least be back for a Senators playoff run. If you have an empty roster spot, why not stash him and hope he returns in time for you to be in the Fantasy Finals.
Letang is on the ice with his teammates right now but is taking line-rushes on the 4th D-pairing, which would suggest he won't play tonight. Coach Bylsma will likely give an update on Letang following practice.
Monitor his status later this week when a definitive timetable for his return should be released.
Karlsson is still not expected to be back in the regular season, but the Senators could certainly use him in the playoffs. This is a great sign for Ottawa fans.
Letang has missed the Penguins last five games with a broken toe. This is positive news that he could return tomorrow vs. the Hurricanes.
Letang skated on his own this morning but not with the team. He will miss his fifth straight game tonight when the Pens take on the Rangers. He has the entire weekend to get ready for Pittsburgh's next game on Tuesday.
Word is that Crosby is NOT suffering from any concussion-like symptoms.
There is still no timetable for Crosby's return but he is likely done for the rest of the regular season.
