Colaiacovo skated alongside Luke Schnn in Flyers practice this morning. In addition to working on the third pair, Colaiacovo played the point on the Flyers' second power-play unit. He provides some offensive punch to Philly's blueline, but he is a huge injury risk and likely won't provide enough offence to be considered valuable in standard fantasy leagues.

Colaiacovo's salary cap hit in St. Louis last season was $550,000 and it figures he probably got a similar deal with Philly. Colaiacovo will help bolster a banged up Flyers blueline, but he has a long history with injuries. He has had numerous injuries -- shoulder, wrist, knee, eye, facial, lower body all, since January 23, 2010, he's missed 59 NHL games.

Colaiacovo has been a healthy scratch in the last five games but will return on Saturday. He has one goal and two assists in 14 games this season.

Kevin Shattenkirk appears to be out tonight with the flu, but even if he plays, Colaiacovo makes his season debut regardless. Colaiacovo has had a hard time staying healthy in recent years and he isn't going to carve out a permanent role on a good St. Louis blueline, so he is not fantasy relevant.

St. Louis signed Colaiacovo pending a physical on Tuesday, he obviously passed that physical and has been signed to a one-year deal. Colaiacovo spent four seasons with the Blues (2008-12), which were the best years of his career (18G / 88A = 106P in 259 games)

Colaiacovo spent four seasons with the Blues (2008-12), which were the best years of his career (18G / 88A = 106P in 259 games). Last year he had an injury plagued season with the Red Wings. Colaiacovo only appeared in six of a possible 48 regular season games. He had one assist in nine playoff games.

Colaiacovo was a regular scratch for the Wings this season and will need to start producing again before he can be considered fantasy relevant.

Colaiacovo has been hampered by injuries this season and only appeared in six games with the Red Wings and two games with Grand Rapids (AHL). He only recorded one assist in the six games with the Wings this season. He will enter the lineup in a crucial Game 6, the Wings hope he won't have any rust.

Colaiacovo was a minus-4 in his first two games back from injury.

Colaiacovo will likely dress in just his third game as a Red Wing tomorrow vs. Colorado. He has not played since the second game of the season because of a shoulder injury. When he is healthy he usually produces on a fairly consistent basis, however staying healthy has been a big issue for him throughout the years.
