News: Edler has been suspended for the remainder of the IIHF World Championships for his knee-to-knee hit on Eric Staal, the Vancouver Province reports. [+]

News: Schneider revealed that it was a groin injury that kept him out of action for the final two games of the regular season and the first two games of the postseason, the Vancouver Sun reports. [+]
Impact: Schneider was able to return to the net for the final two games of the Canucks first-round loss to the Sharks. He was somewhat rusty in those two appearances, but Schneider did appear to be over his groin injury. The Canucks finally handed over the No. 1 goaltending job to Schneider this past season and he seized the opportunity by going 17-9-4 with a 2.11 goals-against average and .927 save percentage. The odds are Roberto Luongo will be traded this offseason, opening up the door for even more starts for Schneider next season. ( RotoWire - Fri. May 10, 2013) |
News: Hansen suffered a sprained right shoulder in the series-clinching loss to the Sharks, the Vancouver Sun reports. [+]
Impact: The injury makes Hansen unavailable to play for the Danish national team in the world championships. He's expected to be full recovered within a month, so there shouldn't be any lingering issues with this injury heading into the 2013-14 season. ( RotoWire - Fri. May 10, 2013) |

News: Anderson will start Game 3 against Pittsburgh on Sunday, Sportsnet.ca's Ian Mendes reports. [+]
Impact: Anderson has taken a beating from Pittsburgh in the first two games, allowing a miserable seven goals on just 51 shots. A regular season GAA of 1.69 gives Ottawa a reason to keep the faith in Anderson, however, and his odds of pulling off a win are aided by the return of Jason Spezza (back), who hasn't played since Jan. 27. ( RotoWire - Sat. May 18, 2013) |
News: Spezza (back) will make his return in Sunday's Game 3 against Pittsburgh. [+]
Impact: What merely seemed probable earlier Saturday appears set in stone now. Spezza will play Sunday, giving Ottawa a glimmer of hope despite a two-game deficit to Pittsburgh. ( RotoWire - Sat. May 18, 2013) |
News: Spezza (back) says he will play in Game 3 against Pittsburgh on Sunday, NHL.com's Arpon Basu reports. [+]
Impact: Spezza is still waiting for technical clearance, which might not get made formal until Sunday, but it nonetheless appears as if he'll be making his return in Game 3. Down 2-0, Ottawa could obviously use his help. ( RotoWire - Sat. May 18, 2013) |
