When the Phoenix series kicks up on Friday, it looks as if Gill will get back into the lineup after missing the first round thanks to blocking a shot at the end of the regular season.
Nashville coach Barry Trotz said defenseman Hal Gill will not play tonight. Gill (foot/ankle) skated this morning and continues to improve. He hasn't played in the series yet.
The news post says it all. Gill hasn't played since blocking a shot before the playoffs.
Gill draws back into tonight's game, replacing rookie Frederic St. Denis. Gill has one point over 16 games, which should not effect your fantasy hockey roster. However, he should further protect Carey Price and clear the crease for the scrappy Canadiens.
#Habs Gill returns to the lineup Wednesday @ Carolina. Spent a couple of nights in hospital with an infection caused by a cut, hky gear.

Chris Campoli and forward Andrei Kostitsyn trained both on the second rink, as Hall Gill, who later joined the rest of the team.
Practicing before the team went on the ice is the first step towards his recovery. Gill has missed the past four games due to various injuries and figures to miss tonight's game.
#Habs Gill had infection from a cut. Forget the flu
Early reports had Gill hospitalized due to dehydration. The physical defender returned from the hospital to meet with the team but remains out indefinitely.
#Habs coach Martin says Gill highly unlikely because of flu.
Sounds like Gill won't play tonight. He affects Carey Price's game more than directly translating to fantasy hockey so keep an eye on how the team reacts.
#canadiens Hal Gill n'est pas sur la glace. Not at practice.
Gill was not at practice for family reasons. His presence in the lineup is certainly a deterrent for opposing forwards but he directly offers no fantasy hockey value.
