NHL Hockey Player News

Kupari has played in the last three games but has yet to get on the scoresheet while going minus-2 with two PIMS and two shots. Look for Michael Amadio to draw in for him and for Kupari to go back to the AHL if he's not going to play at the NHL level.

Kuemper was already ruled out for the rest of the Coyotes' current road trip and is now officially week-to-week with a lower-body injury. Expect him to miss at least a couple of weeks, which leaves the Coyotes with a goaltending tandem of Antti Raanta and Adin Hill.

Lagesson has missed the last 10 games with an upper-body injury but will dress tonight vs. the Senators. The Oilers would not announce whether or not he will dress as a seventh defenseman or if they will go with 12 forwards and six defensemen.

Beaulieu was hurt midway through Tuesday's win over the Maple Leafs while blocking a shot and head coach Paul Maurice said that he's going to miss multiple weeks. With Beaulieu going on IR, look for Sami Niku to re-enter the lineup on Thursday.

Lehner will miss his 14th straight game on Wednesday but the fact that he's going to the AHL to practice and maybe play, suggests Lehner could be back soon. For now, the Golden Knights will continue to lean heavily on Marc-Andre Fleury.

Pietrangelo missed Monday's game in Minnesota and will not play for at least the next three games. With Pietrangelo out, Nic Hague is taking on a larger role, which includes PP2 usage.

Stone missed Monday's game in Minnesota but will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's rematch. Alex Tuch moved to the top line with Stone out, so expect them to stick with the same lineup if he can't play tonight.

The Canucks have been quiet on Pettersson's injury but head coach Travis Green said he expects the star centre to miss at least another week with an upper-body injury. Expect another update on his status early next week.

Manson was hurt midway through Monday's game and did not return, playing just 10:17 TOI. Head coach Dallas Eakins said that he is unsure about Manson's availability for Wednesday and that he considers him day-to-day until the medical staff tells him differently. If Manson can't go on Wednesday, look for Josh Mahura to draw back into the lineup.

Terry was hurt midway through Monday's game and did not return, playing just 5:19 TOI. Head coach Dallas Eakins said that he is unsure about Terry's availability for Wednesday and that he considers him day-to-day until the medical staff tells him differently. If Terry can't go on Wednesday, look for Danton Heinen to draw back into the lineup.

There is a fear that Kuemper could be out for up to one month, but his timetable will become more clear after he is re-evaluated back in Arizona. Kuemper at the very least is expected to miss the next six games of the Coyotes' road-trip, turning the goaltending duties over to Antti Raanta and Adin Hill.

2021 has been a difficult season for Turris and it just got a little tougher, as he was added to the COVID-19 reserve list and will most likely not be available for Wednesday's game vs. the Senators. With Turris missing from Tuesday's practice, Patrick Russell skated on the third line.

MacKinnon participated in the team's optional practice on Tuesday and head coach Jared Bednar expects to have him back in the lineup on Wednesday. The Avalanche went 1-1-1 in three games without MacKinnon but his return will provide a massive boost for a team still dealing with a ton of injuries.
