Updating the Curtis Sanford injury.... Sanford is expected to be out six to eight weeks with a pulled groin. Manny Legace will be bumped from platoon status to starting status in Sanford's absence. The Blues also recalled prospect Jason Bacaschihua to back Legace up.

A couple of notes from the Central over the weekend:
- Martin Havlat returned to the Blackhawks lineup Saturday, and has been just as flat out filthy (to steal a baseball term) in his two games back as he was prior to falling to his ankle injury. Havlat has scored three goals and had two assists in two games back with the club. If you were lucky enough to be holding him on your IR and awaiting his return, you need to clear that space up yesterday! On a per game basis, Havlat has arguably been the best player in fantasy hockey this season.
- Blue Jackets' goalie Pascal Leclaire left Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ottawa Senators late in the second with an undisclosed injury that looked like it may have had something to do with his groin (he was stretching to make a play, but was unable to get back up). He'll be re-evaluated Monday and we'll know a little more then. For now, bump Fredrik Norrena way up on your watch list. If he's available, he's probably going to temporarily assume the number one job for one of the hottest teams in hockey. With a pair of shutouts already this month, Norrena should have been there anyway, but the platoon situation with Leclaire was definitely hurting him.
