Martin skated with the team over the weekend and is on the ice for the gameday skate. He is skating alongside Brooks Orpik which suggests he will be back in tonight. Will update following the morning skate.
Helm is centering a like with Tomas Tatar and Drew Miller and also participating in penalty kill drills which would suggest he will be back tonight vs. St. Louis. We will have an official update following the morning skate.
Bolland has missed the last 35 games and will likely miss several more. The Leafs centre still doesn’t know when he’ll return to practice, let alone game action. “Who knows?” Bolland said Saturday after skating solo for the fourth time this week. Toronto is 14-15-5 since Bolland went out, but coach Randy Carlyle affirmed that the 27-year-old won’t be back until he’s 100 per cent. Bolland, who had six goals and four assists in his first 15 games with the Leafs, wants to go. But he understands the need for caution. “You want to be out there,” he said. “You think some days you can push it and you push it too much and you set yourself behind. You’re just hurting yourself. I think for myself it’s being patient and being ready when I’m ready.”
Aulie hasn't played since December 5 and missed 21 games over the span. The 24-year-old defenseman has yet to record a point and is a minus-3 in six games this season. He will replace the injured Victor Hedman (foot) in the lineup tonight.
Hedman was injured after getting hit in the foot by a shot on Saturday, the injury will keep him out of tonight's lineup. After today the Lightning are off until Thursday. He is listed as day-to-day so there is a good chance that he could be back for that game vs. the Senators.
There was no further injury information, but McQuaid is out for the remainder of today's game. He missed nine games with a lower-body injury in December. The Bruins are already with Dennis Seidenberg and Dougie Hamilton on the blueline so losing McQuaid again would certainly test their depth.
Bourdon hasn’t played a pro hockey game since Nov. 30, 2012 against the Binghamton Senators. In that game, he suffered his second concussion in a year’s time. He had a concussion with the Flyers prior to that, but didn’t tell anyone because he feared losing his spot in the lineup but the 24-year-old defenseman is finally at the point where he can return to game action. Although Bourdon was shut down for a while, he’s been skating for about eight months. He was hopeful he would get cleared to participate in training camp to start this season, but he never was.
Parise has missed 13 games because of a broken foot, said he might begin ramping it up during Monday’s practice by taking contact and getting into more gamelike situations. “I’m just waiting for the green light to get him more involved in practice,” Wild head coach Mike Yeo said.
Wild head coach Mike Yeo said the team will “keep going day to day and figure out how he’s feeling. He’s making progress and he looks good and I’m kind of waiting for a final word or a little bit more information as far as what I’m told from the trainers and the doctors.”
Lapierre is expected to practice on Monday but is doubtful to play. He has missed the last three games, but should return to the Blues' fourth line next week.
Despite his presence at the Islanders practice there is still no timetable for Visnovsky's return from a concussion. The 37-year-old defenseman has been out since October 19, but appears to be nearing a return.
Hamonic has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, it seems highly unlikely that he will play on Monday afternoon.
Kane has missed the last four games with a hand injury, but his presence at practice is a good sign that he should be ready to go on Tuesday in Anaheim, barring a setback. Since returning from his lower-body injury on December 16, Kane has recorded seven goals and four assists (11 points) in 12 games. Monitor his status leading up to Tuesday.
Hedman was injured while blocking a shot on Saturday. He has travelled with the team to Carolina but it seems unlikely that he will play. He underwent x-rays which came back negative so even if he does not play today, he isn't expected to be out longterm.
Sedin was questionable to play on Saturday, but he was in the lineup but only saw 12:11 TOI, before retiring to dressing room for the night. Monitor his status before Tuesday's game in Edmonton.
This is another positive step forward for Ward who continues to work back from a lower-body injury that has kept him out since January 31. The Hurricanes have had good goaltending from Anton Khudobin with Ward out, so there is no need to rush Ward back.
Versteeg didn’t play the third period on Friday night, after he collided with teammate Bryan Bickell at the end of the second. Versteeg was down for a few moments before going off under his own power. The Blackhawks right wing, who practiced with the team on Saturday, said it was more precautionary that he didn’t return in the Blackhawks’ 4-2 victory over Anaheim.
Yakupov suffered a head injury following a hit by Wild forward Matt Cooke on Thursday. He has been placed on IR and will not play for at least one week. Jesse Joensuu will enter the lineup.
In 17 games this season he has only recorded three assists with a minus-7 rating. While those are ugly numbers, it is worth noting that he has scored 130 goals with 111 assists over the last five season. In his last four full seasons he has scored at least 20 goals in each season and in 2009-10 he had a career-high 35. He will likely find himself skating on the top-line with Daniel and Henrik Sedin. At 33-years-old the twins are not what they once were, but they are still among the NHL’s best and playing with them should help Burrows resurrect his season.
Martin was expected to return to practice this weekend and it looks like he is on schedule to play on Monday vs. Florida. Monitor his status on Monday morning just to be sure.
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.
