Wiercioch (undisclosed) is considered doubtful to play Wednesday against the Devils, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

Analysis:

Wiercioch skipped Tuesday's practice due to the injury, which he likely acquired at some point during Monday's shootout loss to the Sabres. Chris Phillips, who had been a healthy scratch for the last two games, is expected to draw back into Wednesday's lineup in place of the ailing Wiercioch.
