News: Parise snapped a four-game scoring drought with a tally in Monday's loss to Philadelphia. [+]
Impact: Parise's been a little quiet of late but he usually isn't too dormant too long. Space will open up for him on the power play with the addition of Ilya Kovalchuk and there are rumors the two of them may see time together at even strength despite playing the same position.

Patrik Elias (NJ - Center)
News: Elias registered an assist for the second-consecutive game, posting a helper in Monday's loss to the Flyers. [+]
Impact: Elias is an integral part to the team's attack and was denied by Michael Leighton on a legitimate scoring chance. Look for him to produce close to a point-per-game pace, as he'll be seeing plenty of ice time with Ilya Kovalchuk. ( RotoWire - Mon. Feb 8, 2010) |
News: Salmela said he had a headache, but was otherwise OK after being taken off the ice on a stretcher following a scary hit to the face from the Philadelphia Flyers' Jeff Carter on Monday night. [+]
Impact: Moments after scoring a short-handed goal that gave the Devils a 2-0 lead in the second period, Salmela was struck hard by Carter's right shoulder as he skated by. Salmela tumbled to the ice and remained face down for several minutes, until the Devils' medical staff lifted him onto a stretcher. The 25-year-old Salmela was playing in his second game with his new team. The goal was his first with the Devils and second this season. ( STATS - Mon. Feb 8, 2010) | |

News: Montador (undisclosed) was out of practice on Monday, The Buffalo News reports. [+]
Impact: Coach Lindy Ruff has yet to comment on Montador's status, but for right now it looks like there is a good possibility Montador could miss some time. Prior to sustaining the injury Saturday night against Columbus, Montador was struggling on the ice and spent a few games riding the bench so even the slightest injury could be reason enough for Ruff to keep him out of the lineup.

News: The Sabres' second goal in Friday's 4-3 loss to Carolina has been changed to give Roy the credit on a deflection of Drew Stafford's shot, The Buffalo News reports. [+]
Impact: Stafford will get an assist on the goal and Roy now has 13 goals on the season. We've noticed some stat sites on the web haven't updated this yet, so if you use Roy in your league make sure you get credit for the goal, as originally he wasn't factored in at all on the score.

News: Lalime made 21 saves on 25 shots in a 4-0 loss at Columbus on Saturday. [+]
