NHL injury pointed out

Lia Assimakopoulos: Dallas star defensive player Miro Heiskanen on Colorado team, forward Jason Robertson is not.

Amalie Benjamin: Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk has returned to the roster after being injured in a low body over the past two months and three days.

“But I’m going to say that there have been a lot of highs and lows over the last two months. You have some frustrated days and you don’t know if it’s possible – even until a long time ago, this day still doesn’t know if it’s possible – so it’s nice to be there.”

TSN: Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher didn’t skate with the team yesterday, but coach Martin St. Louis said he was fine.

Alex Alexeyev cross-checked Gallagher on Monday. There was no penalty for the game, and Gallagher stayed in the game.

Kurt Dusterberg: New Jersey Devils defenders Luke Hughes and Brenden Dillon missed last night’s game. They left the first game with undisclosed injuries.

NHL Rumor: New York Rangers can’t run back

Stephen Whyno from AP News: Washington Capitals guard Martin Fehervary received knee surgery on Monday and will compete for the rest of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Last week, he twisted his knee while trying to stop the shooting.

“It was a huge loss for our team – it was really what it felt to him,” said coach Spencer Carbery. “My heart hurts him because he is the unsung hero of our team. If you know the capital of Washington, if you are on our team, and if you watch our team, he is a person who doesn’t get much attention, the rest of the hockey world may not get a lot of attention, but he is a big part of our team.”
