News: 19 hours agoTexier (illness) will not be in the lineup versus the Kraken on Tuesday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Spin: Texier will be out of action for his fifth straight game due to his lingering illness, which began prior to the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. Still, the 25-year-old natural center was on the ice for Tuesday's game-day skate, which could be an indication he is nearing a return. Even when healthy, Texier may have to settle for a spot in the press box periodically as a healthy scratch.
