Mason Plumlee Dealing With A Calf Issue

Charlotte Hornets center Mason Plumlee (calf) remains questionable heading into the matchup versus Minnesota. The 31-year-old veteran strained his right calf on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic, so there's a good chance that he would concede minutes to P.J.

Adam Henrique Makes A Quick Return To Ducks Lineup

Anaheim Ducks forward Adam Henrique (upper body) will be back in the lineup Friday against Ottawa after missing one game.

Winnipeg Jets forward Paul Stastny (foot) will be back on the ice on Friday against Minnesota. The veteran has missed eight straight games and enters the lineup on the fourth line.
