Smith has been practicing with the team but has not been cleared for contact. There is a chance he will play on Friday.

I thought out of Stalberg, Smith, Olesz, and Kruger (the four guys really on the bubble and positioning themselves to make the team) that Stalberg looked the best, followed by Smith. Olesz looked good in one or two games and Kruger was pretty much invisible.

Pirri has been recalled.

This is from NHL. Not sure why Paradis is still up on the IR

i'm sure we will probably find out if there is, or just go by what the haters say.
