A: Great questions, Chip... 1. We don't know, and 2. We don't know!

In all seriousness, Timo is back from the Ducks as of today, so he will likely play, but Tyler Sims may also get back between the pipes this week as well. That will be up to the coach.

As for the players returning, there are many factors that go into that: how much playing time are they getting in the AHL? are those teams getting players from their NHL affiliates that will bump our guys out of the lineup? are players healthy? etc. There also is a good chance that we will get some of the Ducks college and junior prospects who are finishing up their final seasons of amateur hockey this month. Keep an eye on the NHL trade deadline on Wednesday as well, moves made by the Ducks or other teams, adding or subtracting players, could create a trickle-down (or trickle-up) effect.

Time will tell - stay tuned!
