The I.R: Thursday Evening

*-> Despite my predictions yesterday the Tampa Bay Lightning have sent down Kari Ramo to Norfolk Admirals of the AHL and recalled goaltender Riku Helenius today. Helenius should get a decent look from the brass and a decesion to who gets to be the back-up will shortly follow.

*-> Brad Stuart of the Detroit Red Wings will be on the I.R for at least a week after suffering from bruised ribs. Detroit has recalled both Aaron Downey and Ville Leino from the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL. Leino who is lighting up the AHL will be mainly to replace freshly re-signed Henrik Zetterberg who is suffering from back spasms. Zetterberg will most likely only miss one game to rest his back.
