This is pretty remarkable. Dupuis was stretchered off of the ice last night, but skated this morning and is already medically cleared to play. Monitor Dupuis status during tomorrow's morning skate, but he should play.
Nugent-Hopkins is on the ice for the Oilers morning skate and is participating in line rushes, which suggests he will return to the lineup tonight after missing the last two games. RNH is skating on the third line with Nail Yakupov and Teddy Purcell. Monitor his status following the morning skate.
Abdelkader missed practice on Thursday but said he will play tonight, despite Mike Babcock calling him a game-time decision. Abdelkader has one goal and one assist in three games this season. He will skate on the Red Wings third line with Darren Helm and Andrej Nestrasil.
Sekera suffered a scary injury on Tuesday but is skating for the second straight day, which is a good sign that he should be back in the lineup next Tuesday vs. the Jets.
The Hurricanes are off until Tuesday, so there is a chance that Staal could be back by then, but as of now he remains off of the ice with an upper-body injury.
Skinner missed his fourth straight game after suffering a concussion in the preseason, but the Hurricanes are off until Tuesday so he has time to rest and will should be in the lineup against the Jets. As a corresponding roster move, the sent Brody Sutter and Patrick Brown back to the AHL.
After missing Thursday's practice, Lupul was back on the ice this morning and will play vs. the Red Wings tonight. Lupul has two goals and one assist in four games this season. Lupul being active means Brandon Kozun goes back to the fourth line.
Less than 24 hours after Dupuis was stretchered off of the ice after being hit by a puck, Dupuis is skating and stick handling this morning. He reportedly looks as if he was not even injured last night, which is a great sign after a scary incident. Expect an update on Dupuis later today.
Lupul missed Thursday's practice and his status for tonight's game was in doubt, but his participation this morning is a good sign that he should be available tonight. We will get a full update after the morning skate.
Dano is not skating for the second straight day due to an undisclosed injury. Not taking part in the morning skate usually suggests that you won't play that evening, so consider him day-to-day and expect Corey Tropp to make his season debut in Dano's spot.
Another game, another injury for the Hurricanes. They are already down three top forwards and a top pair defenseman and you can now add Gerbe to that list. There is no word on how serious the injury is, but we should get an update in the near future. He had one goal while averaging 17 minutes a night through four games.
After the game, the Avalanche had no update on Berra, but did recall Sami Aittokallio from Lake Erie, which suggests Berra's injury is not a minor one. The Avs placed starter Semyon Varlamov on IR earlier in the day, so things have gone from bad to worse in Colorado. They will roll with a duo of Calvin Pickard and Aittokallio for at least a week until Varlamov can return.
Chimera caught Havlat pretty high from behind and rubbed him into the end boards. Havlat went down in a heap, bleeding from his nose and lip. Havlat will likely need some pretty serious repairs and miss some time. The first year Devil had one goal and two assists in his first four games.
Scott caught an unaware Grabovski with a clean hit in the Sharks' defensive zone. Early reports are the Grabo did not suffer a concussion on the play, which is a positive sign that he shouldn't miss a lengthy period of time. The Isles are considering it an upper-body injury and he will be evaluated this afternoon, after which an update should become available.
Dupuis reported numbness in his arm after being hit by the shot, but sensation started coming back after the game. Dupuis missed 43 games last season with a knee injury and could miss an extended period of time now. He likely suffered some nerve damage in his arm, but at this time there is no further update, expect more from the Penguins later today.
Campbell has not played this season after being limited in the preseason. He is dealing with a core issue, but has been skating with the team recently. He will take part in warmups and a decision will be made after that. If he plays, Ryan Spooner is likely to come out.
Varlamov participated in the morning skate Thursday and was the scheduled starter. He likely injured his groin at the very end of practice, or tweaked after injuring it in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss at Toronto. The Avs said Varlamov (0-2-1) should be available Oct. 24 against Vancouver. As a result of the injury, Reto Berra will start tonight and Calvin Pickard has been recalled.
Heatley resumed skating on the weekend but is not on the ice this afternoon. There has been no mention of a setback, but he won't get the chance to face his former team on Friday.
Maroon suffered the injury in the Ducks win over the Sabres on Monday. He was moved to IR yesterday so we knew the injury was going to keep him out a bit and it turns out he will be out until the middle of November with an MCL sprain. This is a tough break for Maroon who had three assists in the first three games playing with Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf. Matt Beleskey is expected to continue to fill that spot, at least until Dany Heatley (groin) is healthy.
Mitchell has not played in an NHL game since April 10th due to concussion-like symptoms, but he will centre the Avalanche fourth line tonight in Ottawa. The Avs will ease him back him, but the idea is that he will eventually be back in his usual spot as the third line pivot.

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.
