Sheet Player News (Oct 17)

A sore groin kept Box 8 forward Brandon Yip out of the Avalanche line-up on Saturday night, likely just to not exacerbate a minor injury. Yip did take the pre-game skate, but the coaching staff too a precautionary measure not to dress Yip, instead dressing Kevin Porter in his place. Sounds like the injury is minor and he should be back to playing in no time.

I was a little surprised to see Box 23 forward Daniel Carcillo listed as a healthy scratch in Saturday's Flyers game against the Penguins. With the rivalry in the state that it's in (very intense, that is), I would have thought that Carcillo would have been a good fit for the game. Instead, the Flyers did not dress him and they were out-pestered by the Penguins agitators, ending up with a pretty bad loss.
