L'Heureux's Avalanche debut has had to wait after the bruising forward missed the team's first two games due to a lower-body injury. The 23-year-old former 1st-round pick (2021 - 27th overall) appeared in 25 games with Nashville last season, picking up four goals, five points and 25 PIMs.

Klepov was drafted 15th overall by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft. The 18-year-old forward is coming off a terrific season in the OHL with the Saginaw Spirit, scoring 97 points (37G / 60A) in 67 games.

Teravainen exited Tuesday's 4-2 win over the St. Louis Blues after 9:31 time-on-ice due to a lower-body injury. The 32-year-old Finnish forward recorded an assist before leaving the game, giving him two points (0G / 2A) in three games this season.

Olofsson played 10:48 time-on-ice in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Seattle Kraken, but exited the game with an undisclosed injury. The 31-year-old Swedish forward is off to a strong start to the 2026-27 season, scoring five points (4G / 1A) through four games, including a recent promotion onto the Golden Knights' top powerplay unit. The team has yet to provide an update.

Just days after losing Aleksander Barkov (lower body), the Panthers' injury woes continued as Marchand exited Tuesday's game with a lower-body injury. Marchand began the season on the sidelines with an undisclosed injury and lasted only 9:36 of ice time in his second game before suffering his most recent ailment. The team has yet to provide an update on Marchand's status.

Sergachev took a puck to the head late in the second period and did not return for the third period of Tuesday's win over the Devils. Prior to getting hurt, Sergachev tallied three assists and was named the first star of the game. Consider him questionable to play Thursday in Boston.

Daccord has been excellent to start the 2026-27 season, starting two of Seattle's first three games, and will likely return to the crease on Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 30-year-old Daccord has opened the season by saving 56 of 58 shots (.966 SV%) in his first two games (2-0-0). Daccord had a down 2025-26 season, but he'll hope to return to the impressive form he showed in prior years. Seattle enters Tuesday's contest as +148 home underdogs.

The Dallas Stars acquired Michael Bunting at last season's trade deadline, but he couldn't stay in the lineup and was often a healthy scratch in the postseason. He has since struggled to find a new NHL home, but he has agreed to a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Flyers. Bunting scored 33 points (14G / 19A) in 74 games between the Stars and the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Knight had a solid first full season with the Blackhawks in 2025-26, posting a serviceable 2.82 GAA and .902 SV% in 55 games (19-25-11). That said, the 25-year-old goalie has struggled out of the gate in 2026-27, as has his team, which is still without Connor Bedard (shoulder), posting an ugly 4.04 GAA and .875 SV% in two outings (0-2-0). The Blackhawks aren't expected to be the epitome of team defence this season, but they struggled last year as well, and Knight still performed well, so they will hope he showcases that same talent this year. The Blackhawks enter Tuesday's contest as +127 home favourites against a St. Louis Blues team off to a 1-1-0 start this season.

Beaudoin was a first round pick of Utah in 2024 and traded to the Rangers this summer as a part of the Vincent Trocheck trade. The 20-year-old centre will start on the Rangers' fourth line after tallying five points (1G / 4A) in two games to start his AHL career.
