NHL Hockey Player News

Greer took an unsuspecting hit to the head area from Ottawa's Nick Cousins in Sunday's 6-3 win. The 29-year-old Greer stayed on the ice for several moments and then proceeded to try to start an altercation with Cousins, which is hopefully an indication that Greer's injury is not too severe. That said, he will miss at least a week after being placed on Injured Reserve.

Myatovic was drafted 33rd-overall by the Ducks in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, but he has yet to make his NHL debut. The 21-year-old forward has eight points (5G / 3A) this season in 11 games with the San Diego Gulls (AHL).

The Sharks have lost three of their last four (1-3-0), but have received solid goaltending from Askarov in recent games. Askarov started the season with a dreadful 4.00 GAA and .848 SV% in his first five games (2-3-0), but has an impressive 1.76 GAA and .950 SV% in his last four (2-2-0). The Sharks enter Monday's action as -120 home favourites against a Calgary Flames team that has scored two or fewer goals in two of their last three games (1-2-0).

Teuvo Teravainen will re-enter Chicago's lineup on Monday, sending Greenway to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 29-year-old Greenway is averaging 13:31 time-on-ice, recording one goal and 25 hits in 14 games.

Jordan Greenway will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Teravainen to re-enter the lineup. The 32-year-old Teravainen has six points (2G / 4A) in 11 games, but only has one point (0G / 1A) in his last six.

After a promising inaugural full season with the Blackhawks in 2025-26, posting a 2.82 GAA and .902 SV% in 55 games (19-25-11), Knight has had an inconsistent start to 2026-27. That said, he has strung together a few good outings, posting a 2.37 GAA and .922 SV% in his last three games (1-2-0). The 25-year-old American goalie has a 3.21 GAA and .897 SV% in 11 games this season (4-7-0). The Blackhawks enter Monday's game as sizeable +192 home underdogs against a Colorado Avalanche team that has scored five or more goals in three of their last four games (3-1-0).

Koepke has been battling an undisclosed injury, but was a full participant at practice on Monday. The 28-year-old forward is averaging 9:44 time-on-ice and has one goal in 11 games this season.

Morrissey has not played since suffering an upper-body injury nearly four weeks ago. He is accompanying the Jets on their four-game road trip, but he is not expected to be a lineup-option until the weekend. The 31-year-old Morrissey has become a reliable point-producing defenseman and power-play quarterback in recent seasons, a role he should be able to return to when he is ready to suit up.

Mercer tweaked a lingering upper-body issue in Winnipeg's previous game, and did not practice on Monday. The 25-year-old forward has two assists (0G / 2A) in five games since joining the Jets via trade earlier this season.

Stromgren was drafted 45th overall by the Flames in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, but has yet to make a lasting impact at the NHL level. The 23-year-old made his NHL debut last season, going scoreless in three games. He has 11 points (3G / 8A) this season in 11 games with the Wranglers (AHL).

Del Bel Belluz, the 44th overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, has been an offensive threat at every level, but has yet to make his mark in the NHL. The 22-year-old forward scored 58 points (22G / 36A) in 55 games with Cleveland (AHL) last season. He has zero points in six games with Columbus in 2026-27.

Dustin Wolf's unencouraging play to start the 2026-27 season led the team to rely on Devin Cooley, who started five straight games toward the end of October. That said, Cooley's injury gave Wolf a chance to make his mark between the pipes, and he did in his most recent outing, saving 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in a 6-2 win over the Seattle Kraken. The 25-year-old Wolf has an ugly 4.39 GAA and .847 SV% in seven appearances (2-4-0) this season. The Flames enter Monday's game as slight +109 road underdogs against a San Jose Sharks team that has scored only four goals combined in its past three games (1-2-0).

Rodrigues has been an important bottom-six presence for the Panthers this season. The 33-year-old forward is averaging 15:36 of time on ice, recording five points (2G / 3A) and 20 hits in 14 games this season. It is unclear if he will be ready to play when New Jersey returns to action on Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers.

Benson was drafted 13th overall by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft and made his presence felt with a breakout 2025-26 season, scoring 43 points (13G / 30A) in 65 games. The 21-year-old forward has built on momentum from a successful postseason, starting the 2026-27 campaign at nearly a point-per-game pace, scoring 13 points (2G / 11A) in 14 games. The Sabres return to action on Wednesday against the Ottawa Senators.

Byram has played only six games this season and has been sidelined for over three weeks, with little insight into his upper-body injury. The 25-year-old defenseman was signed to a massive six-year deal worth $12.5M AAV ($75.0M total) in the offseason. When Byram returns to the lineup, expect him to be a fixture on the team's top power-play unit.

Bobrovsky's start in Toronto has been unencouraging, as he's been regularly outplayed by counterpart Anthony Stolarz, but he returns to the crease Tuesday. The 38-year-old Bobrovsky has allowed three or more goals in nine of 10 games this season and is coming off his worst performance so far, allowing five goals on 17 shots (.706 SV%) in a 5-4 loss to the Seattle Kraken. He has a 3.29 GAA, .885 SV%, and a 3-5-2 record.

Helenius has not played since recording an assist in a 2-0 win over the San Jose Sharks on October 28th, and will remain sidelined for the foreseeable future. The 20-year-old Finnish forward is averaging 13:00 time-on-ice and has three points (1G / 2A) in 11 games.
