News: Goc (upper body) was back at practice on Monday after sitting out Saturday's game, the Nashville Tennessean reports. [+]
Impact: Preds coach Barry Trotz said it looks likely that Goc will be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Islanders. ( RotoWire - Mon. Feb 8, 2010) |
News: Suter's assist Saturday against the Sharks gives him three in his past five games. [+]
Impact: Suter has 26 points in 57 games this year, which means he probably won't match the 45 he put up last season. However, he's done a nice job of turning the minus-16 rating he posted last season into a plus-11 this year, and he's got a chance to surpass last year's power-play totals (3G, 15A, currently 1G, 11A). Suter is a nice secondary d-man option to have on your fantasy roster in deeper formats. ( RotoWire - Feb 7, 2010) |
News: Erat's assist on Saturday against the Sharks gives him five points (2G, 3A) in his last six games. [+]
Impact: With 34 points in 50 games this season, Erat probably won't challenge the 50 points he scored last season, but he's quietly providing some secondary scoring for the Preds on the team's third line with Marcel Goc and Jordin Tootoo. If he saw more time on one of the top two scoring lines, he'd probably be more productive. ( RotoWire - Feb 7, 2010) | |

Andy Sutton (NYI - Defense)
News: Teams have inquired about Sutton's availability, according to Islanders Point Blank. [+]
Impact: Sutton can provide some decent physical defense while chipping in a few points. However, his injury history (he has just one season of 70-plus games for his career) will keep teams from overpaying. He will also be an unrestricted free agent come July 1. ( RotoWire - Mon. Feb 8, 2010) |

Matt Martin (NYI)
News: Martin has been called up from Bridgeport, the Islanders' web site confirms. [+]
Impact: Martin does not project to be a top-notch scorer, but his energy and physical play could make him a fan favorite in the future. For now, he's probably just going to play out the Islanders' remaining four games before the Olympic break. ( RotoWire - Mon. Feb 8, 2010) |

Jesse Joensuu (NYI)
News: Joensuu has been called up from Bridgeport, the Islanders web site reports. [+]
Impact: The Islanders hope that JJ will be an effective offensive presence for the club in the future. With the team mired in a losing streak that now stands at seven games, it looks like they want to grab another peek at him at the NHL level. He scored one goal in a seven-game stint with the Isles back in December. ( RotoWire - Mon. Feb 8, 2010) | |
