Nugent-Hopkins skated on Tuesday but missed yesterday's game against the Kings and will not play tonight vs. the Coyotes. However, it is a positive sign that he has skated two days in a row, so consider him day-to-day.
Eberle did not skate for the last two days and missed Tuesday's game against the Kings, but skating prior to tonight's game at least leaves hope that he might play. Monitor his status during pre-game warmups.
Drouin suffered a fractured thumb in the preseason and has been working his way back from the injury and is believed to be close to returning. However, it looks like the Lightning will take a slow approach with Drouin and ease him back into playing with Syracuse before he makes his NHL debut.
Fasth injured his groin in the first period of last night's loss to the Kings. Fasth was limited last season due to injury and it has started already again this season. With Fasth on IR the Oilers have recalled Richard Bachman.
Engelland suffered a lower-body injury at somepoint during the Flames shootout win over the Predators last night. Engelland will be replaced by Raphael Diaz tonight---Diaz will skate with Ladislav Smid. Engelland is day-to-day.
Murray is nearing his season debut, but head coach Todd Richards said that penciling him for Friday might be "premature". Richards said he has his fingers crossed for Murray to be ready sooner than later, but “it might be pushing it” to suggest Friday as a possibility. Regardless, Murray continues to make progress and it is a long season. If not Friday, Murray could be back Saturday.
Liles was reportedly "banged up" in Tuesday's loss to the Sabres and that kept him off of the ice this morning. The Hurricanes take on the Rangers tomorrow and Liles should be in the lineup, but make sure during the morning skate.
After a rough collision with the boards last night, Sekera did not skate today, but he has not been ruled out for Thursday's game. He is likely dealing with some whiplash and depending on how he feels tomorrow will go a long way in deciding whether or not he plays vs. the Rangers.
Skinner was a full participant in Hurricanes practice this morning and skated on the third line with Brad Malone and Patrick Brown. He will probably take part in the morning skate and the Hurricanes will see how he feels before deciding whether or not he will play against the Rangers.
Booth was originally expected to miss a minimum of four weeks with a fractured foot, but now it is looking more like a minimum of six weeks. He is two weeks into the original timetable, so expect him to be out until at least the middle of November and perhaps beyond that.
Sekera suffered an upper-body injury in the first period on Tuesday when he went crashing into the end boards. There is no surprise that he is taking the morning off after the collision. Consider him questionable for Thursday's meeting with New York.
Staal missed Tuesday's game and his absence this morning is not a good sign for his availability for Thursday's game vs. the Rangers. The Hurricanes will likely be getting Jeff Skinner back tomorrow, but it does not look like Staal will play. Monitor his status during tomorrow's morning skate.
Skinner is a full participant in Hurricanes practice on Wednesday, which means he should be available to play on Thursday against the Rangers. Monitor his status later this afternoon or tomorrow during the morning skate for confirmation that he will play.
Thornton was clipped by a puck in warmups yesterday and had to go to the dentist to get some repairs done this morning. Thornton has three assists in three games and should be active in fantasy formats tomorrow vs. the Islanders.
The move gives the Stars some cap and roster flexibility until Peverley is ready to get back to hockey. There is still no timetable for Peverley's return after he collapsed on the bench last season due to a heart condition.
Lewis has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury and has yet to resume skating. The retroactive move means Lewis can play whenever he returns to full health, but for now he goes on IR to allow the Kings to recall a forward after finding out Marian Gaborik is out on Tuesday.
Coburn did not take part in line rushes originally, but did towards the end of the skate, which suggests he could be back for Saturday's clash with the Stars. With two more days before their next game, the Flyers have time to take a good look at Coburn before deciding if he is ready to go.
The Hurricanes said that the X-rays came back negative after Sekera crashed into the boards in the first period. That is positive news that Sekera may not miss an extended period of time with what looked to be a dangerous play. The Hurricanes are already missing their top-3 forwards, they can't afford to lose Sekera for a long time. Expect a more detailed update on Wednesday or Thursday.
Fasth left late in the first period when he stretched out to make a save on Tanner Pearson. He had given up three goals on 11 shots prior to getting injured and the Oilers went on to lose 6-1. An update on Fasth will likely be released on Wednesday and if the injury is serious expect Richard Bachman to be recalled.
Nichushkin, 19, has been dealing with the nagging injury for about six weeks and it has not improved, so the Stars will shut him down for "about a week" and let it heal. With Nichushkin out, Colton Sceviour got a chance on the Stars top line on Tuesday and produced one assist, three shots and a plus-3 rating. The Stars believe there is a seven to 10 day window before Nichushkin rejoins the team for practice.

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.
