Kevin Oklobzija@kevinoDandC: "Today is day 22 since doctor immobilized hand/thumb"
I say that if he has a broken thumb he will be out until Christmas.
I spoke too soon. Looks like Hodgson's thumb is a 4-6 week recovery not the 6-7 weeks I was guessing. Also, Adam Henrique's thumb surgery is projected at 4-6.
Bill Hoppe@BillHoppeNHL:
"Our friend @kevinoDandC reports Cody Hodgson could be back in the lineup next week."
Ennis (shoulder) has left SCL and is returning home for treatment:

Lockout players Tyler Ennis and Jared Spurgeon, both injured, leave Swiss club Langnau to have treatment home. Will likely not return.

An #Amerks injury update: LW Zemgus Girgensons (upper body) may return next week. D Matt MacKenzie (undisclosed) still out (more) ...

(cont.) #Amerks update: C Cody Hodgson (broken hand) no longer in a red "no contact" sweater in practice but is very doubtful for weekend.

#Amerks coach Ron Rolston said he expects Cody Hodgson to return next week (3 games). Hasn't played since Nov. 2 (has missed 10 games).
Ennis stressed the minor bang-up he sustained during his second appearance with Langnau isn’t serious. He plans on skating today.
“(It’s) not bad, but I just wanted to be cautious just in case the season starts, I want to be 100 percent,” Ennis said. “For the most part, if I was playing in the NHL right now, then I’d be playing. But I’m just being careful with it. It’s just a little shoulder issue.”
He added: “I felt like if the season over here was to start, then it wouldn’t be 100 percent. That’s why I’m over here now. I just want it to get to 100 percent.”
I didn't see much of an update on Myers after he went out. He was injured on Dec 7 and only returned yesterday, so that was four weeks out rather than the intitial speculation of just one week. From what I can tell from the box score, he was eased into the third pairing and scored the GWG in the shootout. He deked this time, no big slapper.
Tyler Ennis knows what a 48 games season will be like as that’s how many games he played last year for the Sabres. He missed the other 34 games with multiple injuries including a badly sprained ankle twice. He went to Switzerland to play during the lockout and scored eight points in ten games for Langnau before hurting his shoulder. He came home to rehab, but on Monday said he feels no more pain at all, “It feels really good. I feel it was a good decision to come home from Switzerland and get some really good medical attention on it and I feel really good and I can’t wait to start.” He said he’s 100% cleared to do anything and everything.

I don't imagine too much longer...he had surgery just after last season and has been rehabbing it the entire lockout. But I guess we probably won't know until the team opens camp and has their pressers and everything.
