NHL injured list (with statistics)

Marc Savard has been diagnosed with a grade two concussion and there is no timetable for his return. The Bruins medical staff will continue to monitor and evaluate the forward for up to five days before they offer an update on his prognosis. Savard left Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Penguins after being leveled by a blindside hit by Pittsburgh's Matt Cooke. He has played just 41 games and has 10 goals and 23 assists.

The Nashville Predators have lost defensman Denis Grebeshkov for several weeks with a lower-body injury. He got hit in the groin with a shot during the Predators' 4-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday. The blue-liner reportedly needed emergency surgery on one of his testicles after the game. The Predators have also lost Shea Weber to a suspected arm or hand injury, but hope he'll be back this week.

Boston Bruins forward Marc Savard left Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Penguins on a stretcher after being drilled by Pittsburgh's Matt Cooke. Savard had just taken a shot from above the circles when Cooke raised his shoulder and struck Savard in the head. Cooke was coming from behind on the play and Savard did not see him. Savard, one of Boston's top players with 10 goals and 23 assists, suffered a concussion but was not transported to a hospital.

Wild forward Derek Boogaard was suspended for two games on Saturday by the National Hockey League for an incident during Minnesota's game against Edmonton on Friday. In the first period of Friday's contest, Boogaard was whistled for a kneeing minor when he collided with Ryan Jones. Boogaard is eligible to return to the lineup on March 11 against Detroit.

Montreal Canadiens center Maxim Lapierre has been suspended four games Friday for a hit on San Jose Sharks center Scott Nichol. Lapierre will lose more than $14,000 in pay, with the money going to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.

Marian Gaborik missed Tuesday's game in Ottawa due to an unspecified lower-body injury. Gaborik, who leads the Rangers with 35 goals and 69 points, missed two of New York's last three games before the two-week Olympic break. The Slovakian right wing played through that injury during the Olympics and had four goals and one assist in seven games, including Slovakia's loss to Finland in the bronze medal game Saturday. Rookie defenseman Michael Del Zotto also missed Tuesday's game with an upper-body injury.

The San Jose Sharks have placed defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic on injured reserve with a lower body injury. Vlasic has been out since January 30 and missed San Jose's final eight games entering the Olympic break. He has three goals and 10 assists in 54 games this season. The Sharks also recalled forwards Dwight Helminen and Jamie McGinn and defenseman Jason Demers from Worcester of the AHL.

Pittsburgh Penguins and Canada star Sidney Crosby said he was unhurt and headed to Vancouver for the Olympic tournament despite wincing in pain shortly after he took slap shot in Pittsburgh's 4-3 shootout loss to Nashville on Sunday. Crosby spent several minutes on the bench with his head down after blocking a Kevin Klein slap shot during the last game before the NHL Olympic break. He later added an assist and after the game shrugged off the injury, defusing thoughts that he might have been in danger of missing the Olympics. "The shot off the foot?" he said. "That's part of the game."

The Minnesota Wild defenseman Clayton Stoner has undergone successful hernia surgery Friday in Munich, Germany. He is scheduled to return to Minnesota on Saturday evening. Stoner made the trip to Germany to visit a surgeon who promised a speedy recovery time. The team says he is expected to be fully recovered in two to four weeks.

Marian Gaborik sat out Wednesday's game against Nashville because of a cut on his right leg caused by the skate of teammate Henrik Lundqvist one day earlier in practice. Rangers coach John Tortorella listed Gaborik's status as day to day, and hopes the star forward will return Friday night at Pittsburgh. In 57 games this season, Gaborik leads the team with 35 goals, 34 assists and 69 points.

The Dallas Stars placed Steve Ott on the injured list after the center underwent an emergency appendectomy. Ott will not return until after the two-week Olympic break. He has 11 goals and 12 assists in 52 games this season. Meanwhile, the Stars have claimed forward Brandon Segal off waivers from the Los Angeles Kings. The 26-year-old played in 25 games this season with the Kings, his first with the club, and had two points.

Defenseman Anssi Salmela will miss Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers after suffering a concussion and broken nose. Salmela left Monday's game against Philadelphia on a stretcher early in the second period. The 25-year-old arrived in last week's trade with Atlanta that brought Ilya Kovalchuk to New Jersey, and was playing in his second game with his new team.

Forward Ryan Getzlaf suffered a sprained left ankle during Monday's 4-2 victory over Los Angeles. X-rays revealed no fracture and the 24-year-old is awaiting the results of an MRI taken to decide whether or not he will be able to participate in Anaheim's three remaining games before the Olympic break. Getzlaf has 15 goals and 57 points in 55 games for the Ducks this season.

The Nashville Predators have placed defenseman Cody Franson on injured reserve. Franson has been sidelined with a broken rib suffered February 2 against Phoenix. He is expected to miss the club's final four games before the Olympic break. Franson has five goals and 11 assists in 43 games this season.

Defenseman Johnny Boychuk will not require surgery for the fractured orbital bone he suffered after being hit in the face with a puck in Saturday's game against the Vancouver Canucks, but he will be out of action seven to 10 days. That means Boychuk will not play until after the upcoming Olympic break. In 31 games for the Bruins this season, Boychuk has two goals and seven assists.
