Avalanche's Jiri Tlusty: Did not pass physical
Tlusty failed his pre-camp physical with Colorado.
It's unclear why he failed the physical, but it could have something to do with his wrist surgery in January. No matter the reason, this isn't a good start for Tlusty, who was going to attend training camp as a tryout.

Avalanche's Jiri Tlusty: Secures tryout
Tlusty (wrist) will participate in Colorado's training camp on a professional tryout, Drew Spevak of Denver Sports 760 reports.
Tlusty missed the second half of the 2015-17 season after sustaining a wrist injury with New Jersey. Once a promising young player for Carolina, he's faded over the last couple seasons while spending time with three franchises. If the 28-year-old makes the roster in Colorado, fantasy owners will most likely want to look elsewhere for low-cost value picks, as Tlusty may struggle to find consistent ice time.

Devils' Jiri Tlusty: Out 3-4 months after wrist surgery
Tlusty (upper body) will be out 3-4 months after undergoing surgery on his right wrist, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.
Based on that timeline, Tlusty is likely to miss the remainder of the regular season. He's proven to be a fragile forward with injuries largely standing as the reason why he's logged 82 games in a season (2014-15) only once in his eight-year career.

Devils' Jiri Tlusty: Still not ready to return
Tlusty (upper body) won't return to the Devils lineup Tuesday against Calgary, Rich Chere of the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Tlusty will miss a fifth consecutive game Tuesday with an upper-body injury he suffered on Jan. 8 against the Bruins, and is still without a definitive timetable for his return to game action. The 27-year-old winger is still on injured reserve, however, meaning the Devils should announce his activation once he's fit to play.

Devils' Jiri Tlusty: Secures win with goal Tuesday
Tlusty put the nail in the coffin with a third-period goal Tuesday night against the Sabres, helping the Devils to a 2-0 win.
Buffalo had an errant pass in its own zone, and Tlusty zeroed in on the puck, blasting it between the posts. Tlusty has often been hampered by a shoulder injury this season, so it's good to see him produce after going pointless in his first two games since being activated from injured reserve.

Devils' Jiri Tlusty: Will travel to Toronto
Tlusty (shoulder) will travel with the team ahead of Tuesday's game in Toronto, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.
Tlusty looks set to return to the lineup Tuesday, where he will likely find himself in a bottom-six role. The former first-pound pick has missed New Jersey's last eight games, though he has been highly ineffective in the 16 games has has played this season (one goal, three points).

Devils' Jiri Tlusty: No definitive timetable for return
Tlusty (shoulder), who was placed on injured reserve Friday, is without a definitive timetable for his return to game action, Rich Chere of the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Tlusty has been dealing with a nagging shoulder injury for much of the season, and will use his placement on injured reserve to attempt to fully recover from the ailment. When speaking to reporters Friday, Tlusty said "I have to be 100 percent. There is still a little bit of a problem with my shoulder. We're trying to make sure the shoulder is 100 percent." While the shoulder ailment doesn't sound overly serious, it may force Tlusty to miss extended time, as there's no telling how long it will take the 27-year-old to fully recover from the ding. The Devils should announce Tlusty's activation from injured reserve once the veteran winger is fit to return to game action.

Tlusty is not expected to play Sunday, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.

Devils' Jiri Tlusty: Will play Friday against Chicago
Tlusty (shoulder) will return to action Friday against the Blackhawks, Rich Chere of the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Tlusty has missed the Devils' last two games with a shoulder injury that is reportedly still bothering him to an extent, but feels well enough to suit up for Friday's tilt against Chicago. The 27-year-old winger has tallied three points (one goal, two assists) in 10 games this season.
