Lecavalier has missed the last seven games, but will be back in the Flyers lineup tomorrow vs. the Panthers. He will skate between R.J Umberger and Wayne Simmonds. He had one goal and two assists in his first three games.
Lecavalier was a full-go in practice on Friday and skated on a line with R.J Umberger and Wayne Simmonds as well as participated in power-play drills, which are both signs that he should make a return to the lineup tomorrow. Vinny has missed the last seven games with a foot injury he suffered on October 11th.
Weiss pulled his groin in his first game with Grand Rapids and he has been placed on injured reserve to make room for Johan Franzen to be activated. Weiss can not stay healthy and should not be on your fantasy radar.
Jenner skated with a glove on his injured hand and handled pucks for the third straight practice. There’s still no defined date for Jenner’s return, but he knows he is getting closer. “It’s hard to put a number on that day, that’s the thing," Jenner said. "You just try to see when you’re ready to go. And if today’s the day then you take it from there. He remains day-to-day, but this is finally some positive news on the Blue Jackets' injury front.
Hamonic was "real close" to being in the lineup on Thursday said coach Capuano, but he will sit one more game and likely be back on Saturday.
Glencross missed Thursday's practice because he was sick, but he is expected to be in the lineup tomorrow. Monitor his status during the morning skate to be sure, but if for some reason he is unable to play, expect Josh Jooris to get the call.
Fasth has been out since October 14th due to a groin injury he suffered vs. the Kings. He has been cleared to play, but his absence has him firmly behind Ben Scrivens, who is 4-1-0 with a .928 SV% in his last five starts. Look for Scrivens to start Saturday vs. Vancouver, but Fasth should make his return next week during a back-to-back vs. Boston and Buffalo on Thursday and Friday.
Miller has been sidelined with a dislocated shoulder since October 18th, but is progressing well according to Claude Julien. The Bruins blueline is without Torey Krug and Zdeno Chara tonight, so getting Miller back on the ice is important for the B's.
Maroon's original timetable was four weeks, but he is coming along better than expected which means he could potentially be back by next week. With Dany Heatley back and Matt Beleskey playing well, the Ducks likely won't rush Maroon, but sounds like he will be joining them in practice shortly.
Booth took a spin on the ice this morning for the first time since he fractured his foot in late September. His original timetable was four weeks and he is already past that mark. The Leafs later said it would be more like six weeks, but by the sounds of coach Carlyle's comments, it could be even longer than that.
Dwyer has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury he suffered on October 11th vs. the Islanders. He took regular line rushes on the Hurricanes' fourth line which is a good sign he will be back on Saturday. Head coach Bill Peters said he would be "shocked" if he isn't in the lineup vs. the Coyotes.
Gerbe was on the ice for Hurricanes practice this morning and took line rushes in Jiri Tluty's spot on the second line. Likely not an indication of where he will play when he returns, but coach Bill Peters said he would be shocked if Gerbe can't play this weekend after a four-game absence.
Hamonic has missed the last three games and was not expected to play tonight, but his availability for the morning skate suggests that he could suit up tonight. Even if he doesn't it is a good sign that he is close.
Foligno was on the ice for the Blue Jackets practice this morning and took line rushes, which is a good sign that he could be available on Friday. This would be rather impressive considering he was stretchered off of the ice less than a week ago. His return would definitely help an extremely depleted Blue Jackets lineup.
Coach Maclean would not elaborate on why Boroweicki will not play tonight, but Patrick Wiercioch will enter the lineup for the the unavailable defenseman.
Weiss' conditioning stint did not last very long… He will head back to Detroit and likely be placed on injured reserve to make room for Johan Franzen who is set to be back this weekend. Weiss can not stay healthy and should be considered in any fantasy format until he can play in consecutive games.
Cooke's injury is not serious and he will not miss a lot of time, listed as day-to-day. With Cooke out the Wild have recalled Stephane Veilleux to play on Thursday.
Lindstrom was ruled out for Thursday's game, but it does not look good for him as he battles a bacterial illness. The Blues will already be without David Backes, T.J Oshie and Paul Stastny tonight, so they could definitely use Lindstrom.
There is no word on when Oshie may have suffered the concussion, but it will keep him sidelined for at least tonight. Concussions are a tough injury to put a timetable on, so consider him day-to-day and likely to miss a couple of games.
Backes suffered the concussion on a collision with Trevor Daley on Tuesday. With Backes out, Jori Lehtera will centre the Blues top-line. Backes should be considered day-to-day, but concussions are tricky.
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. Seeing timely updates to the NHL injury report can make a major impact on your daily fantasy sports picks and wagers on a particular game. All information provided on the NHL injury report is provided directly by the NHL and each respective franchise to ensure accuracy.
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.
