That's actually a pretty good thread idea.

[Gil Gunderson]

Chris Neil got hurt at practice today, looked serious. Won't make the trip to New Jersey tomorrow.

[GreeningSingleLady]

Chris Neil took a spill in practice today, didn't look too good.

EDIT: Whoa, beaten to the punch by seconds

[Minor Boarding]

For the Kings:
DayToDay: Jeff Carter
Not expected to play: Simon Gagne (concussion), Scott Parse (Hip surgery)

[Carlzner]

Caps Injuries:

Tomas Vokoun, Upper Body.
Michal Neuvirth, Lower Body.
Mike Green, Flu.
Tom Poti, LTIR.

[Cullksinikers]

Blackhawks injuries:

-C Dave Bolland (upper-body)
-C Jonathan Toews (concussion)
-LW Andrew Brunette (foot)
-D Steve Montador (concussion)

All except Montador will be ready for Game 1 based on much speculation.

[Saugus]

For the Devils:
Day to Day:
Clarkson has an undisclosed lower body injury, but is expected to play in the first playoff game.
Volchenkov has a nagging injury that is fine now, but could flare up again.

Long Term:
Josefson has a broken wrist and will be out for 4-6 weeks.
Tallinder has a blood clotting issue, is on blood thinning medication, and is not expected back this season.

[Beef Invictus]

Flyers:

Everyone

Really though, it's a big list in terms of importance to the team.

Mez
Pronger
Briere
JVR
Grossman

Briere and Grossman should be back in the first round, hopefully by game 1. Bryzgalov had a gimpy foot that may or may not be healed completely. I'm not counting Betts, Lappy, and Sestito.

[joe89]

Wings:
Helm - Knee operation, is skating. Expected back early first round.
Cleary - Knee problems, maintenance. Expected back game one.
Eaves - Jaw/Concussion. Out indefinitely.
McDonald - Back spasms. Who cares?

[BeantownHockey19]

Nathan Horton (Concussion)- Started skating a couple days ago
Tuukka Rask (Lower-Body Injury) Started skating same day as Horton
Johnny Boychuk (Mild Knee Sprain)- Day-to-Day
Adam McQuaid (Eye)- Day-to-Day

Boychuk, McQuaid and Rask should be back by Round 1. Horton doesnt have a time table for return

[thepuckmonster]

Canucks:

Daniel Sedin: Concussion, is doing workouts and is speculated to return for round 1
Zack Kassian: Rib injury, considered day to day, no one is really sure if he's going to be playing, hopefully yes
Keith Ballard- Concussion, has been skating, but has stated himself that he's not 100 percent ready to go yet. Could return during round 1 or round 2.

Unlikely returns:

Pinnizotto- hurt shoulder in pre-season, just started re-hab a few weeks ago
Volpatti- could be in for a later round, also a shoulder injury

[AlvintheChoster]

Kings fans, is Carter expected to start/play in Round 1?

Yep...

[saskriders]

After game 6 of the first round:

Pittsburgh and Philadelphia are forced to withdraw because they ran out of healthy players

He should be back for Game 1.

[Shrimper]

Pittsburgh have James Neal, Steve Sullivan and Matt Niskanen out but all are expected to return for the 1st game of the play-offs.

[amit916]

It'd be really nice for the OP or Mod to update the 1st post with all the info everyone has posted... that way it'll be nicer to read and easier to follow.

Grossmann will be back for game 1. Briere may or may not be.

[Hammer Slammer]

Edited the original post alphabetically by team with any injuries listed in this thread. Also listed their possible return if it was noted.

[Tasty Biscuits]

It looks like Matt Niskanen might not be ready to go for Game 1. D Ben Lovejoy (knee) is still out as far as I know as well, but is skating with the team, so who knows, could be back soon.

James Neal and Steve Sullivan are practicing today.

[Killem Dafoe]

Zuccarello for the Rangers out with fractured wrist. I think they said around 4-5 weeks.
