NHL.com: Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Antti Raanta left Tuesday’s game for precautionary reasons and Pyotr Kochetkov was recalled on an emergency basis.
Aaron Portzline: Columbus Blue Jackets forward Justin Danforth is hoping to be able to return before the end of the season. He’s been increasing participation. He had shoulder surgery back in October.
Kevin Allen of Detroit Hockey Now: Detroit Red Wings forward Robby Fabbri last night’s game with a left leg injury.
Fabbri’s had two surgeries on the left knee. It was his right knee that he had offseason surgery on.
Fabbri takes an awkward hit to the knee and leaves the ice limping. Obviously especially scary considering his extensive history of knee injuries…hope it’s nothing major. #LGRW pic.twitter.com/lJqDiHyHKH
