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) | |

Impact: Brunette tweaked either his knee or ankle against the Oilers last Thursday, played against the Flyers on Saturday, and complained of soreness on Monday. Coach Todd Richards said Brunette would have been in action Tuesday if the Wild were scheduled to play. ( RotoWire - Tue. Feb 9, 2010) |

Marco Scandella (MIN)
News: The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League officially suspended Scandella for 15 games on Tuesday, the Canadian Press reports. [+]
Impact: Scandella had been on indefinite suspension since laying on hit to the head on an opposing player last Wednesday. ( RotoWire - Tue. Feb 9, 2010) |
News: Bouchard (concussion) has returned to Minnesota after spending the past two weeks in Montreal seeking alternative treatment plans to his injury, the Minneapolis-St.Paul Star Tribune reports. [+]
Impact: Bouchard, who has appeared in just one game this season, hasn't played since October 3 and is still struggling with symptoms from a concussion that occurred last March. His neuropsychologist has run a number of tests on him, and it appears that he did not suffer any brain damage, but a return anytime in the near future is highly unlikely. "Now it's just a question of still getting rid of my symptoms -- the pressure in my head that I still have," Bouchard stated. Don't count on him for much the rest of the way. ( RotoWire - Mon.
