Anton Volchenkov (lower body) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice. Volchenkov missed Monday's contest due to the ailment. The good news for him is that the Devils won't play again until Friday.

Anton Volchenkov suffered a lower body injury on Friday and is questionable for Monday's contest against the Avs. Volchenkov has only seven assists and 18 penalty minutes in 44 games this season but is a valuable member of the Devils defensive corps. Consider him day-to-day for now.

Anton Volchenkov returned on Saturday after missing a game due to food poisoning. Volchenkov had a minus-one rating and logged just 8:48 minutes in the Devils' 3-2 loss. He doesn't have any fantasy value in standard leagues.

Anton Volchenkov didn't play Thursday because of a believed case of food poisoning, but he expects to dress Saturday night versus Phoenix. Coach Pete DeBoer called Volchenkov's status a "game-time decision." The Devils may also decide to dress seven defensemen if Volchenkov plays.

Anton Volchenkov won't be in the lineup for New Jersey on Saturday because he is experiencing "total body soreness." That's a new one. Consider Volchenkov day-to-day for the time being. The Devils were going to dress seven defensemen Saturday night, but now their down to six so Eric Gelinas may not get to see time at forward as originally planned.

Anton Volchenkov (neck) is healthy enough to play Friday. Volchenkov sustained the ailment during Tuesday's contest. He tried to play through it, but admitted after the game that he "didn't feel right." All the same, he's been skating and is available.

Anton Volchenkov "didn't feel right" after being hit in the back of the net during Tuesday's game. Volchenkov missed most of the second period due to the injury. He attempted to return for the third period, but he only ended up taking four shifts in that frame. We'll err on the side of caution by listing him as day-to-day for now.
