 Nathan Smith - CNov. 21 - 4:31 pm et

 Andrew Ebbett - WNov. 21 - 3:56 pm et
Andrew Ebbett has been claimed off waivers by the Minnesota Wild.
The Wild will be Ebbett's third new team this season after the Blackhawks picked him up off the waiver wire on October 17th from the Anaheim Ducks. Ebbett has not been able to catch on anywhere so far this season, scoring just one goal in 12 games. He has no fantasy value at this time.

 Martin Havlat - WNov. 21 - 8:52 am et
Martin Havlat (hamstring) did not play on Friday.
Havlat said that the hamstring has been bothering him and it got worse on Wednesday against Phoenix. He is hoping to be ready to go on Wednesday when the Wild next play. Havlat is having a horrible season with eight points and a minus-14 rating in 19 games. Hopefully his hamstring issues are the reason for the slow start and he can return to last season's form where he was a point a game player.

 Brent Burns - DNov. 21 - 8:48 am et
Brent Burns missed Friday's game against the Islanders with an illness.
No word on the severity of the illness but with the Wild not playing again until Wednesday, Burns hopefully will be fine to play by then. Burns has two goals and 10 points in 21 games thus far, but his minus-11 rating really nullifies his fantasy value in pools that use the category.

 Andrew Ebbett - WNov. 21 - 6:15 am et
The Chicago Blackhawks have placed Andrew Ebbett on waivers.
Chicago picked Ebbett up from the Ducks on waivers on October 17 and gave him every chance to be a top-six forward, especially when Jonathan Toews was out six games with a concussion. But Ebbett failed to do the job and hence, he has been placed on waivers. Ebbett had a very good season last year with the Ducks as he had 32 points in 48 games, but a poor training camp led to the Ducks waiving him and he wasn't any better with the Blackhawks. He has no fantasy value.

 Niklas Backstrom - GNov. 20 - 11:02 pm et
Nicklas Backstrom turned aside 27 of the 29 Islander shots he faced in Minnesota's 3-2 victory Friday evening.
The win improves Backstrom's record to 8-9-2 on the season. Despite the below .500 record, Backstrom has played consistently well to date and can't be blamed for Minnesota's poor overall showing.
 Owen Nolan - WNov. 20 - 10:53 pm et
Owen Nolan scored twice in Minnesota's 3-2 win over the Islanders Friday night.
The two goals give the veteran winger six on the season. Eric Belanger also had a multi-point night with two helpers.

 Nathan Smith - CNov. 20 - 3:14 pm et
Nathan Smith has been called up from the minors by Minnesota.
He is slated to center the team's fourth line in Friday's game versus the Islanders. Smith has no fantasy value.

 Cal Clutterbuck - WNov. 20 - 8:22 am et
Cal Clutterbuck is looking forward to his first game against John Tavares on Friday.
The two were linemates for a couple of seasons in Oshawa of the OHL and while Clutterbuck proctected the then 14 and 15 year old Tavares, Tavares made him a better hockey player with his skill. "Just to get him thinking, I'll be in his ear," Clutterbuck said laughingly about some zingers in the pre-game skate. "I know too many things about him, so it'll be easy. Some of them I probably won't even use because I'd probably break his heart if I did. I'll make sure to tell him I still run his show. I'm excited to know what it's like to play against him." It should be fun for both Clutterbuck and Tavares.

 Martin Havlat - WNov. 20 - 8:17 am et
Martin Havlat (lower body) is questionable for Friday's game.
Havlat missed practice on Thursday with a lower body injury. He is off to a terrible start with only two goals and eight points in 19 games this season, to go with a minus-14 rating.

 Martin Havlat - WNov. 19 - 2:21 pm et
Martin Havlat missed practice on Thursday.
No word yet on any reason but we will update you when we hear. Havlat is having a horrible season with two goals and eight points in 19 games and a minus-14 rating. What's worse is that he has only a goal and three points in his last 16. Stay tuned.

 Antti Miettinen - WNov. 18 - 10:37 pm et
Antti Miettinen scored a goal and registered an assist in a 3-2 loss Wednesday.
Andrew Brunette scored his eighth goal and registered his eighth assist in 21 games this season. Mikko Koivu registered two assists in the losing effort.
 Niklas Backstrom - GNov. 18 - 10:35 pm et
Niklas Backstrom turned aside 29 of 32 shots in a 3-2 loss Wednesday.
Backstrom allowed two goals on 10 shots in the third period. He's been struggling this month with a 3.10 GAA and .892 save percentage in six November starts.
 Danny Irmen - WNov. 18 - 12:44 pm et
Danny Irmen has been called up from the minors.
Irmen might make his NHL debut on Wednesday against Phoenix. He scored six goals and registered four assists in 17 games with the AHL Houston Aeros this season.

 Chuck Kobasew - WNov. 18 - 10:42 am et
Chuck Kobasew (upper body) and Benoit Pouliot (hand) skated on Tuesday but neither of them will play on Wednesday night.
Coach Todd Richards said that both of them still need more time to rest their respective injuries. Consider them day-to-day.

 Petr Sykora - WNov. 18 - 10:38 am et
Petr Sykora (concussion) hopes to resume workouts this week.
He suffered a setback in his recovery from a concussion last week while working out, but coach Todd Richards said he is feeling much better since then. There is no timetable set for his return.

 Shane Hnidy - DNov. 16 - 10:48 am et
Shane Hnidy (foot) returned to the Wild's lineup on Sunday.
Hnidy was unable to play on Friday due to the injury. He was on the ice for 11:32 minutes and had one shot on goal.

 Brent Burns - DNov. 16 - 10:46 am et
Brent Burns had a plus-four plus/minus rating in Sunday's game.
That should be a big boost for Burns, who entered the game in a tie for the worst plus/minus rating in the league at minus-14. Burns is capable of scoring 40 points this season, but his plus/minus rating will be a liability as the Minnesota Wild continue to sit near the bottom of the Western Conference.

 Andrew Ebbett - WNov. 16 - 9:41 am et
Andrew Ebbett was a healthy scratch on Sunday.
Ebbett also received just 8:41 minutes of ice time on Friday, fueling speculation that the Blackhawks are looking to trade for a new second line center. Even if they don't make a trade, Ebbett might be pushed off the second line when Marian Hossa returns in about two weeks. Ebbett has just one goal in 12 games and we don't expect him to have any fantasy value this season.

Benoit Pouliot sat out Sunday's game with an upper body injury.
No other information is available right now. Consider him day-to-day until more details emerge.
