Crookshank was limited to only 3:37 time-on-ice in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild before exiting the game with a lower-body injury. The 24-year-old Crookshank has three points (2G / 1A) in 13 games with Ottawa this season.
After not missing a single game due to injury, Rielly has missed four straight due to an upper-body injury. The 30-year-old All-Star defenseman has enjoyed a very strong year leading the Maple Leafs' point, with seven goals, 51 points, 165 SOG, 27 PIMs and a +8 plus/minus through 65 games. Mark Giordano will likely be the odd man out of the lineup, allowing Rielly to make his return on Wednesday.
Couturier played only 3:21 before exiting Monday's 4-3 loss to the New York Islanders with an undisclosed injury. The 31-year-old Couturier has only one point in his last 15 games and is averaging only 10:11 time-on-ice in the last six games since being a healthy scratch.

Siegenthaler has been sidelined with a concussion since March 11th. He'll draw back into the Devils' lineup as they continue to make a push for an unlikely postseason bid. The Devils did not confirm who will come out to make room for Siegenthaler, who has nine points (1G / 8A) in 49 games this season.
Verhaeghe left Monday's loss in Toronto and will be sidelined for at least one week. The Panthers are hopeful that he'll be back for the postseason, but this is obviously a huge blow to their top-6, which will also be without Matthew Tkachuk (illness) on Tuesday. Look for Vladimir Tarasenko to move up to the top line in Verhaeghe's absence.
Tkachuk will not play Tuesday in Montreal, which would be a big blow by itself, but with Carter Verhaeghe also sidelined, the Panthers are down two of their top scorers. Nick Cousins will draw into the lineup to replace Tkachuk.

Kulak left Saturday's game with an injury but will not miss any additional time as he is available to play in St. Louis for Monday's game. With Cody Ceci returning to the lineup vs. the Blues, Troy Stecher will be the odd-man out on the Oilers' blue-line.
Danault did not play on Saturday due to an upper-body injury and will miss a second straight game on Monday against the Winnipeg Jets. Danault has 42 points (17G / 25A) in 72 games this season but has been held off the scoresheet in his last three.

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.
