News: Getting a rare start on Tuesday, Biron stopped 24 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over Nashville. [+]
Impact: Biron has no fantasy value and it's quite clear that GM Garth Snow is attempting to raise his trade value before the upcoming deadline. ( RotoWire - Tue. Feb 9, 2010) |

Matt Martin (NYI)
News: Martin made his NHL debut on Tuesday against Nashville and recorded a pair of assists. [+]
Impact: Martin played 14:41 in the contest. Despite the solid debut, he isn't one of the Islanders' better prospects and he can be safely ignored in fantasy leagues for the moment. ( RotoWire - Tue. Feb 9, 2010) |

Doug Weight (NYI - Center)
News: Weight (shoulder) is not expected to play against the Predators Tuesday, Islanders Point Blank reports. [+]
Impact: Coach Scott Gordon confirmed Weight is not completely healthy, so it looks like he'll sit the captain at least one game. With just four games remaining before the Olympic break, there is a chance that Gordon sits the captain all four games so as to give him some additional time to heal. The New York Post, however, quotes Gordon as saying "he's not gonna heal to the extent that time off is going to accomplish anything." ( RotoWire - Tue. Feb 9, 2010) | |

News: Vokoun will start against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, the Miami Herald reports. [+]
Impact: After posting an 8-4-0 record in January, Vokoun has since gone on to drop three consecutive decisions to start the month of February. The trouble here continues to be one of goal support - the team playing in front of Vokoun simply doesn't score enough, requiring him to stand on his head most nights. All Vokoun owners can do is keep trotting him out there, and hope that the stars align themselves enough for him to pick up the win. ( RotoWire - Tue. Feb 9, 2010) |
News: Weiss (lower body) is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday against Atlanta, the Miami Herald reports. [+]
Impact: Weiss missed Saturday's game when the nagging undisclosed injury flared up, but the team seems confident he will return — as is evidenced by Michal Repik's reassignment to AHL Rochester. ( RotoWire - Mon. Feb 8, 2010) |

Michal Repik (FLA)
News: Repik has been returned to Rochester of the American Hockey League, according to the Miami Herald. [+]
Impact: Stephen Weiss is expected to return to the Panthers' lineup Tuesday, as the team wraps up its pre-Olympics schedule. Repik's production faded a little bit lately, which led the Panthers to believe it would be better to dress Nick Tarnasky in the short term. ( RotoWire - Mon. Feb 8, 2010) | |
