Artturi Lehkonen - Out of neck braceLehkonen is no longer wearing a neck brace, Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now reports.
ImpactLehkonen, who was seen following Saturday's win over Calgary, has been around the team more but isn't ready to begin workouts. "I'm sure as the days and weeks start coming by here, he'll get more into the working out and rehab stuff and do what he can," head coach Jared Bednar said. Lehkonen is on long-term injured reserve and has been replaced by Valeri Nichushkin on the top line and by Tomas Tatar on the power play.

Tomas Tatar - Returns to actionTatar did not register a shot on goal over 10:01 of ice time in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
ImpactTatar was held out of Friday's win over the Wild due to an undisclosed injury. He skated on a line with Ryan Johansen and Jonathan Drouin and was part of the second power-play unit. Tatar, who potted 20 goals for the Devils last season, is still looking for his first tally in a Colorado uniform and has just 10 shots on net over 18 games.

Dennis Gilbert - Gets back in lineupGilbert has played in the Flames' last three games after sitting out eight straight contests as a healthy scratch.
ImpactWhen Jordan Oesterle was waived and Rasmus Andersson was reinstarted from his suspension, Gilbert lost his spot to Nick DeSimone. Over his last three games, Gilbert has three shots on net, seven hits, four blocked shots and five PIM, but he's also taken a minus-2 rating. The 27-year-old is unlikely to see more than a third-pairing role, and with just one assist through 12 outings, he doesn't generate enough offense for much fantasy consideration.
