Player Notes in the Draft (Feb 24)

The Flyers announced on Monday afternoon that goaltender Ray Emery would not accompany the team on the road to Carolina, as he nurses a lower-body injury. According to the management staff, Emery was injured at practice on Monday morning, he'll be on the list as out day-to-day, but he'll likely miss the next few days with the injury.  On the plus side, Steve Mason appears to be ready to dress again for the Flyers, but the team doesn't want him to start, rather they will be going with Rob Zepp against the Hurricanes.

So, the misery continues for Tony, who is dropping like a stone in the standings, as Emery was one of his more recent pick-ups this season.  If Emery isn't healthy and Mason is on his way back to health, Tony's chances for points from the crease diminish quickly.  Mason coming back will be a big key for Allan, who is still out of the basement and with activation of his goalie today, he'll jump up a bit in the projected games total for the rest of the week..

In what is being described as a head injury, Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg was held out of the lineup on Monday night in Anaheim and Tuesday's game in Los Angeles looks to be on the doubtful side of questionable.  Zetterberg suffered a high hit from Dallas' Jamie Benn on Saturday evening and his ice-time was definitely lessened after the shot.  This led to not being out for the skate on Sunday and a quick turnaround to saying that he was out for the game against the Ducks.  If more surfaces on his condition, a post will go up for it.

Zetterberg has been one of the reasons why Dale B. has been able to slide into the top 10 over the last couple weeks.  In 57 games this season, the 34-year old Swede has picked up 15 goals and 49 points this season, which had him ranked 44th overall, going into this week.  That's a big piece of offense taken out of a pool team, so it might be hard for Dale to stay in the top 10, if there are any long-term diagnoses.
