I don't think anyone knows for sure, as teams get very secretive near the playoffs. The speculation I've seen on Regehr is 2nd round at the earliest, and it's a lower-body injury of some sort (ACL or MCL possibly). Giordano had surgery (shoulder I believe) and is likely out for the season. Sarich is playing with a brace on his foot, and although he's been doing very well, I understand it limits him a bit.
A growing concern for me is the forwards. Who knows if we'll see Langkow, Bourque, or Conroy again next game or even the rest of the playoffs. Andre Roy got himself suspended for next game which isn't really a concern, other than he's a warm body that can fill a role given the injuries. There's guys who can step in on defense (Eriksson, Pelech), but the guys who can fill in on forward are limited. In a playoff situation, I would be wary of anyone stepping into the lineup after Lundmark.
