Playoff Pool Injury Updates

It doesn't sound like Jonas Hiller will be ready to go for the Ducks in Game One, as he is still experiencing problems with his vertigo symptoms, so picking the Ducks goalie in Box 12 may not be the best idea and it may have an effect on how well the Ducks are going to do in the playoffs as a whole.  Will they play their best with Dan Ellis or Ray Emery in net going forward?

The Blackhawks are still dealing with some of their injuries and the news is somewhat positive. Box 7 forward Troy Brouwer is still day-to-day with his shoulder injury, but there is an expectation that he will be back before their series with the Canucks is over.  Being day-to-day as of right now, I suppose there is an outside chance he could suit up for Game One, but it is more likely that he'll miss some games before coming back.

The Sharks are expecting to have Box 4 forward Ryane Clowe back in their line-up for Game One against the Kings on Thursday night. Clowe finished the season on the shelf with a lower-body injury, but it sounds like he received all the healing and rest he needed to be ready for the playoffs.  Feel free to choose him for your team in these next few days.
