Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski (nose) will sit out the team's final games of the season.

Erik Cernak Good To Go On Thursday

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Erik Cernak (face) will be able to play Thursday against Columbus. He played just four minutes in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets after taking a puck to the face but that luckily won't keep him out for long.

Devon Toews Rejoins Avalanche Lineup

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Devon Toews (undisclosed) will be back from a four-game absence Tuesday against St. Louis.
