Tanev suffered an injury in Wednesday's season opener that forced him to miss practice on Thursday, but he was back on the ice Friday and could be in the lineup when they take on the Oilers. Tanev will be evaluated tomorrow and then a decision will be made.
Muzzin missed the season opener with what Darryl Sutter called a "frustrating injury". It was announced on Thursday that Muzzin would likely miss a few games, so consider him day-to-day.
Tanev suffered an undisclosed injury in Wednesday's season opening 4-2 win over the Flames. Head coach Willie Desjardins did not shed any light onto Tanev's situation but hopes he is back for their next game which comes on Saturday. Tanev finished Wednesday's game with two assists, two shots and a minus-1 rating in 19:45 TOI. Note that Tanev had just 11 assists in 64 games last season.
Muzzin was on the ice for Kings practice this afternoon, but apparently the injury won't stop him from skating and he may even take warmups, but he will miss a couple more games. Muzzin's fill-in Brayden McNabb was a minus-1 with no shots in 23:27 TOI.
There was no report of an injury to Muzzin until this morning. If he plays he will line up in his usual spot with Drew Doughty, but if he is unable to play, Doughty will play with Brayden McNabb. With only a few games tonight you won't get burned by having him in your lineup in daily leagues.
Bobrovsky saw a ton of rubber in the preseason. He faced 134 shots, more than any other netminder and posted a 3-1 record with a 1.92 GAA and .948 SV%. The Blue Jackets will need him to be that sharp to start the season because their lineup is really depleted due to injuries, but Goalie Bob should be up for the task. He draws a nice matchup for Game 1 vs. the Sabres.
Head coach Ted Noland announced today that they will be without McCabe for a week or so after he was placed on injured reserve yesterday. The 20-year-old D-man had one assist in seven games with the Sabres last season and will compete with the likes of Rasmus Ristolainen and Mark Pysyk for playing time.
Nylander will head back to Sweden and play for Modo for a second season. The 2014 eighth overall pick had a strong camp with the Maple Leafs, but will have to wait a year for another shot at making the NHL roster. The Leafs had a lot of competition at forward, so letting the 18-year-old grow for another season was probably the best decision for his future.
Domi, 19, is a dynamic offensive talent and had a lot of people believing that he would stick with the team this season. The Coyotes must feel that he will be better served with one more year of junior under his belt. He heads back to London where he has 73 goals and 107 assists (180 points) in 125 games over the last season. A huge boost for the Knights.
Paul, 19, was selected in the fourth-round (#101 overall) in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. Paul had 26 goals and 20 assists (46 points) in 67 games with the North Bay Battalion (OHL) this season. Paul had a strong postseason as well, posting 18 points (12G / 6A) in 22 games.
Bobrovsky stopped 48 of 50 shots, but it was not enough to carry the Blue Jackets to a win, as they lost 3-1 in game 5. Bob has seen a ton a rubber in this series. The Penguins have averaged 38 shots per game and Bob has responded with a 3.00 GAA and .916 SV%. He will look to keep Columbus' season alive tonight as they host the Pens for game 6.

In such an up and down series, Bob could use the breather to regroup for Game 5 in Pittsburgh.
Despite the late collapse in Game 3, the Blue Jackets will rely on Bobrovsky to put together a solid Game 4 to keep them in the series.
Bobrovsky gives the Blue Jackets their best chance to win and will be in net on Saturday.
Bobrovsky won't win back-to-back Vezina Trophies, but he still had a really strong season. He won a career-high 32 games with a 2.38 GAA and .923 SV%. Bobrovsky carried the Blue Jackets to their second playoff berth in franchise history. They are still searching for their first postseason victory after being swept by Detroit in 2008-09.
Bobrovsky turned aside 33 of 34 shots in a 3-1 win over the Stars on Wednesday. He extended his winning streak to three games and notched his 31st win of the season. The Jackets close out the regular season tonight and if they have a chance to leap over the Flyers to play the Ranger, but with a loss they could stay put and play the Penguins, or fall to play the Bruins.
Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 32 shots in a win over the Coyotes last night. He has won three of four with a 1.73 GAA and .949 SV%. Bobrovsky will start the game up 1-0 and never lost to the Stars in regulation in his NHL career. Bobrovsky has followed his Vezina Trophy winning season up with 30 wins, a 2.42 GAA and .921 SV%. He is the real deal when it comes to NHL level goaltending.
Bobrovsky stopped all 31 shots that he faced in a 4-0 win over the Islanders on Sunday. He returned from an illness to win two of his last four started with a 1.72 GAA, .948 SV% and two shutouts. The Jackets are looking to solidify their Wild Card spot and hurt the Coyotes playoff chances Tuesday. Bob is 16-9-2 at Nationwide Arena this season.
