Morning Player Notes (Nov 29)

There is still no word on what the issue was that kept San Jose forward Timo Meier out of the lineup against Toronto on Wednesday night, so there really isn't an official word out there.  Meier wasn't warming up with the team before the game and didn't come out for the game itself, so we're assuming that there is an injury concern, and with 23 points in 25 games this season, we are fairly certain it wasn't a healthy scratch.  For now, he's day-to-day with an undisclosed injury and if anything else drops, we'll have it on the blog.

Dale C. cannot afford to have his top player fall to any long-term injury, if his plan of coming back to relevance in the standings is going to come to fruition.  Dale's team finished up Wednesday night's action in 19th place, 15 points out of 13th and 22 points out of the top 10.
