Hemsky left Saturday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return. He was originally listed as day-to-day, but his presence on the ice this morning suggests the injury was minor and that he will be in the lineup on Tuesday vs. Los Angeles.
Zuccarello was not on the ice for the Rangers morning skate because he was "receiving treatment". If Zuccarello can't go and Ryan Malone is claimed off of waivers at noon, the Rangers will have to recall a forward from Hartford (AHL).
Jenner has not played this season because of a broken hand he suffered in the preseason, but he has been progressing and skating on a regular line this morning suggests he could make his season debut on Tuesday vs. Carolina. Jenner had 16 goals and 13 assists (29 points) in 72 games in his rookie season and will likely find himself on Ryan Johansen's wing again, even if he does not start there in his debut.
Zuccarello is "receiving treatment" this morning according to the Rangers. Alain Vigneault will address the media after the skate at which point we will update whether Zucc will be in the lineup tonight or not.
Krejci was a late scratch from Saturday's game vs. the Senators and his absence at Monday's practice puts his status for Tuesday in question. Chris Kelly remained between Milan Lucic and Seth Griffith this morning, so expect that line to stay together if Krejci is unavailable on Tuesday. The Bruins' pivot has nine points (3G / 6A) in nine games this season.
Stepan has shed his no-contact jersey which means he is probably cleared for contact, which is a big step in the right direction. The Rangers announced last week that he remained without a timetable, but Ryan Malone was placed on waivers on Sunday, which suggests that Stepan is getting close---being cleared for contact confirms that.
Coburn has not played since the season opener on October 8th because of a lower-body injury. He was nearing a return recently, but suffered a setback and went from day-to-day to out four weeks. They announced he would miss a month just 10 days ago, so his presence on the ice this morning suggests that he is ahead of schedule.
Bieksa reportedly left the arena with a doctor and there is a lot of concern about Bieksa's eye. It was a dangerous looking play and something that could keep Bieksa sidelined for a lengthy period of time. Expect an update on Monday.
Gibson was the Ducks scheduled starter on Sunday night, but he suffered a lower-body injury in warmups and did not dress. Frederik Andersen did not dress either due to 'minor leg tightness' so Jason LaBarbera had to make his third start in three nights (started FRI and SAT in AHL) with goalie consultant Dwayne Roloson serving as his backup. Gibson will be examined on Monday.
Boyle was on the ice in a no-contact jersey this afternoon, but did not do too much with his broken hand. He remains without a timetable for his return. The Rangers could really use her services after Ryan McDonagh and Kevin Klein were injury on Saturday.
Ferland suffered the concussion in his NHL debut on Friday vs. the Predators. He was hit in the head by Anton Volchenkov, who was suspended for four games on Sunday. Sven Baertschi was recalled to play in Ferland's spot.
The Ducks have recalled Jason LaBarbera from Norfolk (AHL) on an emergency basis to backup John Gibson tonight in Colorado. Andersen is listed as day-to-day.
Hall was injured on Saturday night when he went crashing into the post. Hall had been off to a great start, scoring 10 points (6G / 4A) in the first 11 games. Edmonton is going to be in trouble without Hall for at least two weeks, but they have talent that can step up in his absence, it is just a matter of if they do or not.
Kopitar missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, but should be back in the lineup today vs. Carolina. He had just two goals and one assist in the first eight games, but with Gaborik also back on his wing tonight, expect both of them to get going.
Gaborik said on Saturday that he was "very close" to returning, looks like he was not kidding and he will be back today. Gabo missed the last eight games with an undisclosed injury, but look for him to skate on the top-line today vs. the Canes. He had one assist in three contests before being hurt.
Klein still has a lot of swelling in his foot after blocking a Jacob Trouba slapper on Saturday. With Ryan McDonagh out as well the Rangers will call up two defensemen this afternoon.
McDonagh suffered the injury on Saturday on a hit from Evander Kane. This is a tough break for the Rangers, who are already without Dan Boyle because of a broken hand. Expect the Rangers to recall a defenseman later today.
Ferland suffered and upper-body injury in his NHL debut on Friday vs. the Predators. Anton Volchenkov will have a hearing for the hit on Ferland and will likely be suspended. Ferland remains on the active roster, but is unlikely to play tonight, which means Sven Baertschi is in.
Colborne will miss his second straight game tonight with an upper-body injury he suffered on Tuesday. His designation to IR opened up a roster spot for the Flames to recall Sven Baertschi.
Hall was injured when crashed into the goalpost last night and with the Oilers sent to embark on a five-game road-trip, it will start without their star winger. The trip starts Tuesday in Philly and goes until the following Tuesday in Nashville. Hall will stay in Edmonton and be evaluated by the medical staff and a detailed injury report will likely be released in the next 24 hours. It sounds like the injury is not too serious, so he could potentially join the team in the middle of the trip.

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.
