Injury Updates / Scratches

• After returning to practice on November 21st, Ryan Whitney completed a full week of practice this week, but said his status "doesn't change on a day-to-day basis" and that it's more week-to-week. Whitney has yet to participate in full-contact drills but should be doing so soon.

"Hopefully, at the end of the road trip this week, I'll be doing everything in practice," Whitney said.

• Newly acquired defenseman Philippe Boucher was injured during last Friday's game against the Buffalo Sabres and was out of the lineup last night against the New Jersey Devils. Boucher's injury is "undisclosed" and he is listed as day-to-day. He was replaced in the line-up last night by Mark Eaton who had been a healthy scratch in five consecutive games and was paired with Alex Goligoski.
  
• Pascal Dupuis was a scratch in last night's game against the Devils. He was replaced by Ruslan Fedotenko who had been a healthy scratch the game before.
