Max Pacioretty to have hearing today for hit

Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty has a phone hearing scheduled for 4pm ET Sunday with National Hockey League Director of Player Safety Brendan Shanahan for his hit on New York Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh Saturday.

Pacioretty delivered the hit just over seven minutes into the second period of the Canadiens' 3-0 win Saturday night, taking McDonagh hard into the end boards in the Rangers' zone. He was assessed a boarding minor on the play. McDonagh left the game after the hit and didn't return. Pacioretty has previously been suspended by the NHL, having received a three-game ban on Dec. 6, 2011, for a hit to the head of Pittsburgh defenseman Kris Letang.

Detroit puts Henrik Zetterberg (back) on LTIR

Henrik Zetterberg (back) has been placed on the long-term injured reserve list.

That means that Zetterberg won't be eligible to return before Dec. 28 at the earliest. He has 11 goals and 30 points in 28 games this season. Not counting the shortened season where he played in 46 of 48 contests, Zetterberg has taken part in at least 74 matches in five consecutive campaigns. That streak will end this season.

NHL suspends Jared Cowen for two games

Jared Cowen has received a two-game suspension for his high hit on Buffalo's Zemgus Girgensons on Tuesday.

The NHL ruled that Cowen could have avoided making Girgensons' head the principal point of contact. Girgensons didn't suffer an injury as a result of the hit and Cowen didn't have a suspension history prior to this incident. Both of those factors likely worked in Cowen's favor. He'll be eligible to return on Monday

Top prospect Ryan Strome to make NHL debut

Ryan Strome has been called up by the New York Islanders.

Strome has nine goals and an AHL-leading 33 points in 23 games with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers this season. He will make his NHL debut on Thursday. As is the case with any rookie, he's a big gamble in single-season leagues, but one worth taking if you have a spot to spare. Strome has a tremendous amount of offensive upside and the Islanders could certainly use a guy like him to provide them with some secondary scoring.

Martin Jones will probably start Wednesday

Martin Jones is projected to get the nod against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday.

It would have been fun to see Ben Scrivens play against Jonathan Bernier, given that those goaltenders were involved in the same trade over the summer. At the same time, you can't fault the Kings for going with Jones. The rookie goaltender has earned back-to-back shutouts, giving him a 0.65 GAA and .973 save percentage in three career games.

Joffrey Lupul (groin) will return Wednesday

Joffrey Lupul (groin) has been given the green light to return to Toronto's lineup Wednesday night.

Lupul was sidelined for seven consecutive games. He's been great over the last few seasons when he's healthy, but injuries have consistently hindered his fantasy value.

Ray Emery will get the nod against Chicago

Ray Emery will start against the Chicago Blackhawks tonight.

Emery won the Stanley Cup last season while serving as the Blackhawks' backup goaltender. He has a 2.57 GAA and .908 save percentage in 10 games this season.

Tim Thomas is on a three-game winning streak

Don't look now but Tim Thomas is now on a three-game winning streak.

Thomas has stopped 75 out of 80 shots in that span, improving his overall record to 9-10-1 with a .909 save percentage and 2.75 GAA. He stopped 24 out of 26 shots to help Florida win 3-2 via a shootout against Detroit on Tuesday. Thomas is worth monitoring, at minimum.

Antoine Roussel has another monster game

Antoine Roussel made his presence felt even as the Dallas Stars lost to the Chicago Blackhawks 6-2.

Roussel scored both goals for Dallas and now has five points in his last five games. The France native had an impressive night overall with 16 PIMs, 3 SOG, and 9 hits. He also ended the night +2. He's worth adding, even short-term, in many formats.

Martin Jones notches another shutout

Little-known Los Angeles Kings goalie Martin Jones now has two straight shutouts as his team trashed the Montreal Canadiens 6-0 on Tuesday.

He's won all three of his starts. It's clear that Jones has a chance to push Ben Scrivens for starts (which isn't to say that Scrivens is playing poorly). This stunning play makes it much easier to stomach Jonathan Quick's injury situation.

Ryan Callahan expected to miss 4-6 weeks

Awful news for the New York Rangers: Ryan Callahan has a Grade 2 MCL sprain that will sideline him for four-to-six weeks.

This is the last thing the Rangers needed after a dispiriting 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators on Tuesday. Callahan's had a rough season injury-wise, and this just makes matters worse. One wonders if this might have implications for the U.S. Olympic team, too.

Nicklas Backstrom also shines for Washington

While Alex Ovechkin stole the headlines, Nicklas Backstrom was dominant in his own right on Tuesday in the Washington Capitals' 6-5 shootout win against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Backstrom had one goal and four assists, giving him 32 points in 31 games on the season. He's more than just the Robin to Ovechkin's Batman.
