The New Jersey Devils have traded captain Jamie Langenbrunner to the Dallas Stars for a conditional 3rd round pick in the 2011 draft. Langenbrunner will not play tonight against the Rangers.

Anaheim star Ryan Getzlaf will not return to the Ducks lineup until February. Getzlaf suffered broken bones in his face when he took a puck to the face last week against Phoenix.

Edmonton rookie Jordan Eberle underwent an emergency appendictomy Wednesday night. He was previously out of the lineup with a sprained ankle. The surgery will not affect his time out of the lineup. For tonight's game, the Oilers have put Jason Strudwick in the lineup and gave Kurtis Foster the healthy scratch.

A few days after requesting a trade, the Columbus Bluejackets have placed defenseman Mike Commodore on waivers. The Jackets also placed Kyle Wilson on waivers, placed Ethan Moreau on IR, and recalled Matt Calvert from Springfield.

Today's NHL news and notes:

The Calgary Flames have named Jay Feaster as temporary GM after Darryl Sutter was forced to step down yesterday. Feaster has been given full control to make changes to the struggling Flames and changes are expected to be made sooner rather than later. Feaster was the GM for the Tampa Bay lightning from 2002-2006, winning a cup during his tenure there. 

Chicago captain Jonathan Toews is the latest Blackhawk down. He's expected to miss the next couple of weeks with what is believed to be a shoulder injury.

Montreal acquired defenceman James Wisniewski from the New York Islanders yesterday for a 2nd round compensation pick and a conditional fifth round pick. Wisniewski has 3 goals and 18 assists this year.

The Nashville Predators claimed Marek Svatos from waivers today. St. Louis was to sign Svatos to a 1 year deal but he had to clear waivers before the Blues could sign him to a deal.

Toronto assign rookie Nazem Kadri to the Toronto Marlies. Kadri has 6 assists in 17 games this season with the Maple Leafs.

Today's notes:

Buffalo squares off against Calgary tonight without their top scorer, Derek Roy. Roy will miss the next 4-6 months with a torn right quadracept. Buffalo has lost 6 of the last 7 on the road and are 3-6-1 so far in December.

Colorado will have their leading scorer, Milan Hedjuk along with Cody McLeod both returning from injury in the lineup for tonight's game against Detroit. Jonas Holos, Brandon Yip and David Koci are expected to be healthy scratches for tonight's game.

Detroit will be without Dan Cleary for the next month after suffering a fractured ankle against Minnesota on Sunday.

Ottawa forward Jason Spezza is out indefinately with a shoulder injury. There is no word on how long he will be out, but the injury is considered to be long term.

Montreal rookie P.K Subban was at it again this morning, getting into a confrontation with Tomas Plekanic and Maxim LaPierre at practice. Veteran Roman Hamrlik broke things up before things got too heated. P.K Subban shrugged the incident off, citing "It's practice, it's battling. It's tough. When you're doing three-on-two drills and three-on-three, there is going to be chippy battles in front of the net. You've just got to work through it. It was a good practice today." Montreal captian Brian Gionta let it be known that confrontations in practice do happen commonly when a player is fighting his way into the lineup. Subban has been a healthy scratch 5 out of the past 12 games for the Habs.

Nashville Predator Jordan Tootoo has voluntarily entered the NHL's substance abuse program. There is no timetable for his return. Tootoo will be paid in full during his leave and looked after by the NHLPA and NHL doctors.

Chicago placed Marion Hossa back to active status, but put Patrick Kane on the IR list in his place. Chicago also recalled G Hannu Toivonen from Rockford.

Dallas looks to rebound from a loss to the Calgary Flames before the break. Loui Eriksson looks to extend his point streak to 6 games.

Detroit will be without Pavel Datsyuk for the next 4-6 weeks (wrist). He joins Mike Modano on the IR. Nicklas Lidstrom has 6 points in the last 5 games.

New Jersey's first game with Jaques Lemaire back behind the bench should prove interesting. Mattias Tedenby is the latest Devil down, out tonight with food poisoning.

The New York Islander's list on injuries keeps getting longer, with Radek Martinek and Matt Moulston both questionable for tonight's game. Out indefinately are Rick Dipietro, Mark Streit, Kyle Ogposo and Trent Hunter. They still have John Tavares though who is on a 4 game point streak.

Tampa Bay forward Steve Downie is out with a sprained ankle and Mike Smith is out with a sprained knee. Tampa is 6-1-1 against the Southeast Division this year.

Toronto G Jean-Sebastien Giguere is out with a groin injury. Mikhail Grabovski has 4 goals in the past 4 games for the Leafs.

Washington is coming off of a loss to the Penguins before the break. They have scored 8 goals against Carolina this year - Nicklas Backstrom has 4 of those 8 goals. The Caps are 7-8-1 away from the Verison Center this season.
