Canes' Hillen Still Hasn't Skated
Hillen has yet to resume skating with the team since sustaining a concussion nearly three weeks ago, Chantel McCabe of FOX Sports Carolinas reports.With Hillen slow to recover from the head injury and only 10 games remaining on the Hurricanes' schedule, it's worth wondering if the team might shut him down for the rest of the season. He's set to become a free agent this summer, so there doesn't seem to be much of an incentive for the Hurricanes to get him back on the ice.

Caps' Hillen: Assists In Three Straight
Hillen has recorded an assist in three consecutive games.It's a remarkable achievement considering that Hillen hasn't been on the ice for more than 14 minutes in any of those contests and hasn't logged a single second on the Capitals' power-play unit. The production probably will allow Hillen to remain a regular for Washington on the third pairing over Nate Schmidt in the near-term, but nothing about his career production suggests this offensive spurt can be maintained.

Hillen will slot in next to Nate Schmidt on the third pairing in the match against his former team, but his stay in the lineup will likely end once Mike Green (upper body) returns from his injury, which is believed to be a day-to-day concern at this juncture.
