Hamonic will not be in the lineup on Tuesday vs. the Jets, but head coach Jack Capuano said there is a "good chance" that Hamonic travels with the team on their upcoming five-game road-trip that starts Thursday in Colorado.
The Blues are not in action tonight, so do not be too concerned, it is likely just a maintenance day for Tarasenko. He will probably be back on the ice for the Blues morning skate tomorrow and play vs. the Stars.
Kane started skating by himself on Friday and was on the ice with his teammates this morning. Kane has missed seven games with a knee injury he suffered in the regular season opener. He has reportedly been progressing well, but likely won't be available tomorrow, but Thursday seems like a real possibility.
Kopitar left Sunday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return. Kopitar was rocked by Tim Erixon and retired to the dressing room shortly after. The Kings say they are "going to be careful" with Kopitar's injury, so there is a good chance he won't be available on Tuesday vs. the Flyers. A more detailed injury report is expected to be available tomorrow.
Jenner has been sidelined since the preseason after undergoing surgery to repair a broken hand. Jenner is nearly four weeks into a five-week timetable, so his return to the ice appears to be right on schedule. Expect him to skate with the Blue Jackets throughout the week and likely return this weekend or next week.
Atkinson missed Sunday's game because he was cut by a skate near the eye on Saturday and the swelling was too substantial for him to play. His return to practice suggests that the swelling has subsided and he could be back in the lineup on Tuesday vs. Ottawa.
Stastny is not taking part in line rushes or shooting, but he continues to skate as he works his way back from a shoulder injury. Not shooting is not an encouraging sign that he is getting close, but it is a step in the right direction.
Gonchar is three and a half weeks into a 3-5 week timetable for his return from a fractured ankle. Gonchar's return to practice is a positive, but he skated on the 'fifth line' this morning which means he likely won't be back on Tuesday. Expect an update after practice, but it looks like Gonchar won't return until Friday at the earliest.
Nichushkin has missed the last six games with groin/hip injuries, but was back on the ice this morning. Despite returning to practice, Nichushkin skated on the Stars 'fifth-line' which suggests he is nearing a return, but it will not be on Tuesday vs. St. Louis. After tomorrow, Dallas is off until Friday, that seems like a more realistic return date.
Killorn was held out of Saturday's game, but said that he is very close to returning to the lineup. He has missed a total of four games with an undisclosed injury, but Jonathan Marchessault and Mike Blunden were both reassigned to the AHL this morning, which suggests that Killorn, who is practicing this morning, will be back in the lineup on Tuesday. He has two goals and five games.
Brown missed Saturday's game with an upper-body injury he suffered early in Friday's clash with the Jets. Brown returning to practice and Jonathan Marchessault and Mike Blunden being reassigned to Syracuse (AHL) this morning suggests that Brown will be back in the Lightning lineup on Tuesday. Expect a full update after practice.
Rinaldo missed Saturday's game against the Red Wings with an upper-body injury he suffered on Wednesday vs. the Penguins. He was only expected to miss one game originally and it looks like he will be in for Blair Jones on Tuesday. He has no points with a minus-3 rating and six penalty minutes in seven games.
Lovejoy broke his hand in a fight with Joe Pavelski in Sunday's penalty filled battle between the Ducks and Sharks. There were 155 penalty minutes handed out last night and despite Lovejoy manhandling Pavelski, he is the one walking away with the injury. Lovejoy was playing 18 minutes a night, so this will hurt the Ducks blueline for likely one month or longer. Marc Fistric will likely be in the lineup on Tuesday.
Demers missed Saturday's game with what the Sharks called a 'minor health issue'. He will likely replace Matt Irwin and be paired with Scott Hannan.
Foligno's head collided with a linesman's body when he was rubbed out by Jeff Carter in Sunday's game. Foligno was laying facedown on the ice and had to be stretchered off. It was a scary scene and likely an injury that will sideline Foligno for a lengthy period of time.
Kennedy is getting close to making his season debut, but still needs more time to heal his upper-body injury. Look for him to return on Tuesday vs. the Avalanche.
Kopitar played 10:39 and recorded one shot before retiring to the dressing room for the night. Kopitar has had a rough start to the season, so this injury will not make owners happy. Expect an update after the game or on Monday.
Crawford will miss his fourth straight game tonight, but he could be back in the lineup next week. He will be looked at by doctors on Monday and a detailed update and timeline should be released.
Carcillo suffered the knee injury in the Blackhawks loss to the Blues last night. With Carcillo out, Jeremy Morin will get back into the lineup tonight vs. the Senators. Expect Carcillo back in late November.
Dano missed the last four games with an undisclosed injury, but will be back tonight in Los Angeles. He has one goal and one assist in three games. He will take Alexander Wennberg's spot after he was sent down this morning.

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.
