*-The New York Islanders have announced Rick DiPietro will miss the remainder of the season due to an ongoing problem with the knee surgery he had at the beginning of the season. The swelling refuses to go down so he will remain out and have another surgery on his knee. The Islanders are expected to go out and find some help till next season.
*Claude Lemieux completed an unbelievable comeback story tonight by returning to the NHL. Lemieux who is turning 46 who retired 4 years ago had no played hockey since this summer. He eventually earned a two way contract with the San Jose Sharks and tonight will mark his first game back. Incredible.
*Columbus goaltender Pascal Leclaire will be out 3 months with an undisclosed ankle injured. The Columbus goalie had surgery this afternoon to repair his ankle and is expected to make a quick recovery.
*Yet Another Columbus goalie is on the mend as of Tuesday. Goaltender Steve Mason has been suffering from severe back spasms and will miss the next 3 weeks. The Blue Jackets will not put him on the IR but rather just let him rest. He unfortunately will miss the youngstars game due to his condition.
