Edmundson has been sidelined since November 6th, but will return to the lineup tonight vs. the Canadiens. Robert Bortuzzo has been moved to IR to open up a roster spot for Edmundson to be activated. Edmundson has one assist in 13 games this season.
Eichel tweaked his ankle in last night’s loss in Washington, but he said he is fine and will play tonight vs. the Oikers. Eichel has played well in his first four games of the season, posting three goals and one assist. Expect a strong performance tonight as he goes head to head with Connor McDavid.
Hammond will continue to be a yo-yo for the Senators while Craig Anderson comes and goes to be with his wife. Hammond will head out west with the team, likely to serve as Mike Condon’s backup.
Anderson continues to leave the team to be with his wife and this time he leaves after playing just one game—he allowed seven goals on 43 shots in an 8-5 loss in Pittsburgh last night. The Senators will continue to lean on Mike Condon as their starter and have recalled Andrew Hammond from Binghamton (AHL) to be their backup.
Lazar left Monday’s game with an undisclosed injury and did not return and will head to Ottawa to undergo further evaluation. With Lazar out, the Senators recalled Phil Varone to take his place on the Senators’ west coast road trip.
Beleskey left Saturday’s game with a knee injury and the Bruins announced that he will miss approximately six weeks. Beleskey has struggled in 2016-17, but this is still a tough loss for the Bruins. Expect Anton Blidh to stay with the team for the foreseeable future.
Landeskog will miss his ninth consecutive game with a lower-body injury. Head coach Jared Bednar said that Landeskog is progressing and practiced in a no-contact sweater on Monday, but he will still sit out vs. the Predators. Monitor his status leading up to Thursday’s game in Boston.
Galchenyuk was hurt during Sunday’s shootout win in Los Angeles, but traveled to St. Louis with the team. After undergoing some testing in St. Louis, Galchenyuk will return to Montreal to undergo further testing. Expect a more definitive timetable to be revealed later this week. In the meantime, Andrew Shaw will likely shift to centre for Tuesday’s game.
Yandle left Monday’s game after playing just 4:51 and did not return. After the game, Panthers’ head coach Tom Rowe said that Yandle will be out for “a while.” Yandle has appeared in 577 consecutive games, a streak that will come to an end on Tuesday. Look for Dylan McIlrath to draw back into the lineup for Florida.
Read was injured during Sunday’s win over the Predators when he was hit into the net by Filip Forsberg. Read will miss approximately one month and his injury has left to the Flyers recalling Taylor Leier from Lehigh Valley (AHL)—he is expected to replace Read on Tuesday.
Kalinin has missed the last two games with an illness, but will be available on Tuesday vs. the Canucks. Kalinin has just one assist in 17 games this season, so he is not fantasy relevant.
Bennett has missed the last three games with a leg laceration, but he is set to return on Tuesday. With Pavel Zacha (face) out, Bennett will likely slide onto the the third line. Bennett enters play with seven points (1G / 6A) in 20 games this season.
Zacha was cut during Saturday’s win in Nashville and will miss his first game of the season on Tuesday. Zacha has picked up two goals and five assists (seven points) in 24 games this season—expect Zacha to be replaced by either Beau Bennett or Sergey Kalinin, who were both cleared to play on Monday.
Dorsett will undergo cervical disc surgery in his neck and will miss a significant amount of time. Dorsett is expected to make a full recovery and return to game action, but there’s no timetable for his return at this point.
Marchessault was hurt in Saturday's loss in Ottawa and will be held out of the lineup on Monday. With Marchessault out, Denis Malgin will skate with Aleksander Barkov and Jaromir Jagr and Paul Thompson will make his Panthers debut.
Grabner’s grandmother has passed away and he will head back to Austria and miss at least Tuesday’s game vs. the Islanders. With Grabner out, the Rangers recalled Marek Hrivik from Hartford (AHL).
Krug was absent from the Bruins’ morning skate on Monday, but head coach Claude Julien said that Krug will try and give it a go tonight. Krug has had a hard time finding the back of the net in his first 25 games, scoring just one goal on 77 shots, but it’s only a matter of time before the puck starts bouncing the right way for the talented defenseman.
Chara has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury, but he will return to the lineup vs. the Panthers. Chara is expected to replace Joe Morrow in the lineup and comes into play with one goal and five assists (six points) in 19 games this season.
Hrivik, 25, has collected eight goals and nine assists (17 points) in 20 games this season. The 25-year-old winger has one assist in five career NHL games and he could make his season debut this week.
Oshie will miss his seventh straight game with an upper-body injury, which mean Jakub Vrana will remain in the lineup vs. the Sabres.
The NHL injury report is updated daily so that you can see the latest injury news ahead of puck drop in any of today’s matchups.

While the minimum amount of time spent on the injured reserve list is seven calendar days, there is no maximum amount of time that a player can be placed on the injured reserve list. If a player is set to be sidelined for longer than 24 calendar days or 10 NHL games, then a club may opt to place them on the long-term injured reserve instead. This allows franchises with the ability to exceed the salary cap while a player is placed on this reserve list.
No injury recovery timeline is the same as another as there are several factors that go into the rehab process for a player being affected by injury. Factors include but are not limited to, injury severity, player injury/medical history, age, as well as the location of the injury. Some injuries are able to clear up in a matter of days, while others may take an athlete out of action for the entirety of a season.
