Brian Boucher, Phoenix Coyotes - Boucher is the probable starter for Saturday's game against the Mighty Ducks. Keep in mind that the Arizona Republic reported yesterday that Sean Burke could start both games since the Coyotes are fighting for their playoff lives. We can't promise anything, but we may have a last minute update later today.

Dan Cloutier, Vancouver Canucks - Cloutier is expected to return to the Canucks lineup for Saturday's game against the Maple Leafs, reports the Vancouver Sun. However, it is unclear whether he will actually start or not and we assume that will only be determined after the morning skate. Check back later and hopefully we will have more information. If not, play it safe and keep Cloutier on reserve until he actually returns.

Todd Marchant, Edmonton Oilers - Marchant will not play in Saturday's game against the Stars due to a condition called viral pericarditis, inflammation around the heart. He will miss at least one week.
Pierre Turgeon, Dallas Stars - Turgeon's sprained ankle is a little bit more severe than previously thought and the veteran center is now expected to miss at least one more week of action.
Keith Tkachuk, St. Louis Blues - Though X-rays revealed no fracture, Tkachuk will miss at least one game with a wrist injury. By default, that means he won't dress for Saturday's game against the Predators, instead going back to St. Louis to get his wrist, which is still swollen, re-evaluated.
Alexander Mogilny, Toronto Maple Leafs - Mogilny will not play in Saturday's game against the Canucks due to a family illness, reports the Toronto Star. He won't be back with the team until Monday so plan your lineup accordingly.
Gary Roberts, Toronto Maple Leafs - Roberts' sore groin is in worse shape than previously thought and as a result, he will not play Saturday against the Canucks and instead has been sent home to rehab on his own.
Todd White, Ottawa Senators - White, who is trying to recover from a hip flexor injury, is expected to return to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Islanders.
Bill Guerin, Dallas Stars - The Dallas Morning News reports that Guerin could begin skating within 7-10 days. He is making strong progress from a serious thigh injury, but we suspect the earliest he will probably return is the last game or two of the regular season.
Dan McGillis, Boston Bruins - McGillis, suffering from a mild concussion, will not play in Saturday afternoon's game against the Panthers. He went through a hard skate and felt fine but since this is the second concussion he has suffered this season, the Bruins are being extra careful.
