GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona leading scorer Mikkel Boedker (mih-KEHL' BAHD'-kur) is listed as week-to-week after having his spleen removed last weekend. The left wing was injured in Sunday's game against Winnipeg after taking a hard hit.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The San Jose Sharks have placed forward Tommy Wingels (WING'-ulz) and defenseman Justin Braun on injured reserve and called up defenseman Dylan DeMelo from the American Hockey League. Wingels and Braun both left last night's 5-2 loss to New Jersey with upper-body injuries. Coach Todd McLellan says both players will be out for "a while," a blow for a team battling Calgary and Los Angeles for a Western Conference playoff berth.
