The Sabres sent Jason Woolley to the Red Wings today in exchange for a conditional pick in the 2003 NHL draft, according to the AP. Woolley agreed to take a $125,000 pay cut to make the deal happen. He cleared waivers yesterday and the Sabres gave him permission to talk to other teams.
Claude Lemieux was forced to leave last night's game in the second period with a bruised foot, according to the Arizona Republic.
Keith Tkachuk skated in full pads yesterday for the first time since breaking his foot, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. However, he still has enough pain in the foot that the Blues have yet to set a date for his return to action.
Randy Robitaille is expected to return to action for the Penquins tonight, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He has missed 10 games with a fractured ankle.
Johan Hedberg should be in goal for the Pens tonight, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Fredrik Modin left yesterday's game in the third period with back spasms and is considered day-to-day, according to the Tampa Tribune.
Roberto Luongo said yesterday that his back felt "100 percent" and he may well be in goal tonight, according to the Miami Herald. Panthers coach Mike Keenan said Luongo doesn't have a lock on the starting job between the pipes, so let the goalie controversy between Luongo and Jani Hurme begin.
Joe Thornton missed practice yesterday to rest a bruised hip, which he sustained near the end of Thursday's game, according to the Boston Herald. "It's nothing," Thornton said. "I'm definitely playing [tonight]."
