Arron Asham News: Asham will miss Thursday's game for personal reasons, the Bergen Record's Andrew Gross reports.

Asham will miss Thursday's game for personal reasons, the Bergen Record's Andrew Gross reports.

Asham will join his wife in anticipation of the birth of their child. The fantasy impact of his absence is minimal, as he hasn't topped 10 minutes of ice time in a game since Feb. 2. Matt Gilroy will dress in Asham's place, and fantasy owners can consider Asham day-to-day. He will likely return to the lineup Saturday.
