Update: Chris Kelly suffers broken ankle

It turns out that Boston Bruins forward Chris Kelly's lower-body injury is a broken ankle, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

Kelly's injury flew under the radar (understandably) amid the chaos of Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Pascal Dupuis slashed him on the play.

Report: Maple Leafs eager to acquire a center

Maple Leafs GM Dave Nonis is reportedly aggressively looking to acquire a center.

Toronto is trying to get by without centers Tyler Bozak (upper body) and Dave Bolland (ankle). It's not clear who Nonis might get, but his search is complicated by the fact that there's not many teams that would call themselves sellers in early December.

Antti Niemi expected to get start Sunday

Look for Antti Niemi to get the start in goal for San Jose Sunday.

Niemi played just 40 minutes on Thursday before he was pulled after he gave up four goals on 27 shots and then was on the bench Friday when the Sharks dropped a 5-3 decision to Carolina. He is 16-4-5 this season with a 2.31 GAA and a .915 save percentage. He is a top-seven fantasy goalie at this time.

Brooks Orpik likely has a concussion

Brooks Orpik likely has a concussion according to coach Dan Bylsma.

Orpik was slew-footed by the Bruins Sean Thornton and then punched in the head twice. He was unconscious on the ice and taken off on a stretcher but regained conscious and was released from the hospital. He traveled back to Pittsburgh with the team. "I think he was out (unconscious) on the ice for a period of time, and I think that means he's got a concussion," Bylsma said. While Orpik underwent a series of tests in a Boston hospital, the Penguin doctors will conduct their own testing as early as Sunday. Consider him day-to-day at best at this time.

Kimmo Timonen suffers upper body injury

Kimmo Timonen suffered an upper body injury in the second period Saturday and did not return.

Timonen was cross-checked from behind by the Stars Jamie Benn although he said that was not the shot that put him out of action. Consider him day-to-day for now. He has a goal and six points in 29 games this season but is usually a point per every other game player.

Nathan Horton looking for contact in 2 weeks

Nathan Horton (shoulder) is looking to start contact drills in a couple of weeks.

Horton inked a seven year deal with Columbus in the off-season and immediately underwent shoulder surgery. Horton stated that the only player he knew who had undergone the same type of surgery is Brian McGrattan and he contacted the Flames enforcer who informed him that if Horton took the proper time to recover from the surgery, it would work permanently. Horton should be back barring any setbacks within a month. Stay tuned.

Francois Beauchemin looks for Dec. 15 return

Francois Beauchemin is looking to return on December 15 from his upper body injury.

The defenseman has missed the last eight games in a row and his solid play has been missed as he had six assists and a plus-15 rating before the injury. Beauchemin said he was at 50 percent at this time. "It's been good to just get back on the ice and be moving again," Beauchemin said. "I'm just going to keep practicing for a couple more days and see how things are going to go. Hopefully I'll get back soon."
