Brown returns to the lineup, pushing pugilist Jay Rosehill to the bench. Last season he scored three goals and eight points while adding 69 PIM. He probably won't help your fantasy hockey team.
Not an encouraging sign that Staal will start the season. The team's top defender scored seven goals and 29 points last season. Expect him to miss part of the season, which should severely decrease his draft price.
Certainly not an encouraging sign for a developing power forward. Last season, Glennie scored 35 goals and 91 points for the Brandon Wheat Kings of the WHL, proving he was ready for the next step. Keep an eye on this situation as it may directly effect his NHL future.
The Sabres aren't planning on rushing Hecht back just to play in an exhibition game. Hecht only scored 12 goals and 29 points over his 67 games last season but has eclipsed 40 points seven times in his career. Keep him off your radar as this injury sounds long term.
Markov has no timetable although it sounds like he won't miss the entire season. Every season it seems like his previous season's injuries make him a value pick but Markov has not played a full season in almost three years now. Draft knowing he will likely miss substantial amounts of playing time.
When healthy, Moen will be expected to help the team's bottom two lines. He managed six goals and 16 points through 79 games for the Habs, adding 96 PIM. Don't expect much more from him in fantasy hockey terms.
Eller scored seven goals and 17 points in his rookie season for the Habs. In his second season with the organization he is expected to move up to a full-time role on the third line. Expect him to make the jump, if healthy, to the 30 point range.
Eager very well could push himself into a setback if he is not careful. If healthy, Eager should have another Eager-like season, agitating and fighting by trade. The 27-year-old produced 120 PIM or more over the last three seasons while adding a few points.
Right now Whitney is no lock to start the season healthy. Last season, the former fifth overall pick scored two goals and 27 points over 35 games, leading to an inflated ADP. He should produce around 40 points for the Oilers but should not be expected to rise to an elite level until fully healthy as his track record indicates he should not be relied on for much more.
Again, not good news for Clemmensen, who was expected to battle Jose Theodore for the starting goalie gig. The 34-year-old veteran posted a respectable 8-11-7 record with a 2.62 GAA and .911 SV% over 31 games last season. Look for Tyler Plante to take his role as the team's backup.
Staal has not joined the team yet which puts his immediate return in jeopardy. While we skated with the team earlier in training camp, his absence from the current road trip is telling and could derail the team's early season attempt at momentum. Stay tuned for a further update on the blue-line's leader.
Certainly good news for Foster, who should return to the team at some point in October. The offensive defenseman posted eight goals in each of his last two seasons. He could find similar success in Anaheim if given any significant PP time.
Regin's injury was initially deemed serious but sounds like a day-to-day ailment. Last season he only scored three goals and 17 points as he battled through inconsistency and injury. While the Sens have an insurance plan in Mika Zibanejad, they likely hope their Danish playmaker can return to the 15 goal, 30+ point range.
Sharp returning the lineup is a welcome addition with the injuries to Ben Smith and Viktor Stalberg. Last season he scored 34 goals and 71 points while centering the second line and manning the point on the PP. Expect similar results and for the versatile forward to only possibly miss the first week of the season.
Over his four professional seasons, Kaleta failed to play more than 55 games. The 25-year-old recently committed himself to staying healthy but likely misses some time following this practice incident. Expect similar games played along with close to 100 PIM and up to 15 points for the season.
Sounds like Ruff expects Roy to start the team on the top line. . Last season, Roy scored 10 goals and 35 points in as many games before missing the rest of the season. Feel free to draft him if you are in need of a solid playmaker.
Byfgulien isn't expected to miss the season opener against the Canadiens which is a good sign for Byfuglien or any Jets owner for that matter. Last season, he broke career highs in goals, assists and points while adding a gaudy 347 shots on goal. He should be expected to reach those totals, or more, if he plays forward.
Hope doesn't sound like a definite so keep an eye on his status moving forward. Iginla should return to the lineup and score his usual 30+ goals. Last season, Iginla scored 43 goals and 86 points over 82 games while captaining the Flames. If age isn't a concern, this minor injury should't be even though he hasn't missed a game in five of the last six seasons.
Stuart likely will be held out as to prevent any further injury. Last season he scored three goals and 20 points while playing primarily next to Nicklas Lidstrom. He figures to play alongside Niklas Kronwall to begin the season. Should he not be healthy for the season opener, look for younster Brendan Smith to take his spot.

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.
