- Ted Kulfan: Red Wings Henrik Zetterberg left last night’s game with an upper-body injury. Bill Roose: Will learn more about the injury later today when the Wings practice at the Honda Center. Ansar Khan: Zetterberg was punched in the head by Jamie Benn early on in the second period.
- Joe Haggerty: Not a surprise that David Krejci didn’t practice yesterday. Steve Conroy: Bruins coach Claude Julien confirmed that Krejci won’t play today. He will be re-evaluated when they get back to Boston.

- John Vogl of the Buffalo News: Sabres Josh Gorges could be done for the season. He hasn’t played since suffering a lower-body injury on February 10th.
“It’s leaning that way, but we’ll see in the next little bit here,” Buffalo coach Ted Nolan said Friday. “He’s getting final information. He’ll make a final decision in probably 24 to 48 hours.”
