Mark Stuart is considered to be doubtful for Thursday's game against the New York Islanders because of an undisclosed ailment. "He's banged up a lot. Banged up is the way he plays," coach Claude Noel said. "One of the problems you have is he always wants to play, so you have to manage things for him. You have to make the right decision for him and the organization. If you did what he wanted to do, he'd play all the time and you can't do that. You applaud that, but you have to make the right call for everyone involved, including the player." Stuart is presently fifth in the NHL with 33 blocked shots. We'll keep you posted on his status.
