Lyubushkin has played five straight for the Maple Leafs, registering two assists, a +1 plus/minus, and 25 hits. Simon Benoit will replace Lyubushkin on Tuesday, but he has not been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Capitals.
Lauzon's departure from the Predator's blueline will cause a noticeable void for a team amid a push for the playoffs. The hard-hitting Lauzon has an absurd 321 hits, 97 blocks, and 13 points (6G / 7A) in 68 games this season.
Foote last appeared in an NHL contest nearly a year ago on March 24th, 2023 and has suffered a setback after being activated from injured reserve on Monday.

Marino has been battling an upper-body injury and will sit out on Tuesday for the third time in the last four games. Marino played 24:24 time-on-ice in the Devils' last contest, recording a -1 plus/minus rating.
Lindgren left the Rangers' game on Sunday after a horrific leg injury and is luckily only considered week-to-week and is expected to return by season's end. The 26-year-old defensemen likely closes out his regular season with two goals, 13 points, 60 SOG, 30 PIMs and a +19 plus/minus through 66 games played before his injury.
Bortuzzo has been a healthy scratch for the Blues' previous two games and has been officially removed from the Long-Term Injured Reserve due to a lower-body injury on Monday.

Bjugstad was limited to only 7:24 time-on-ice before exiting Saturday's 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils with an undisclosed injury. The 31-year-old Bjugstad is enjoying a productive season with the Coyotes, tallying 37 points (17G / 20A), 143 shots, and 106 hits in 67 games.
Arvidsson has played only four games this season due to various injuries, with his most recent lower-body ailment preventing him from playing the last 13 games. His return to practice on Monday is a promising sign for the high-volume shooting winger. He has two points (0G / 2A) and 12 shots in four games.
Bjork has spent the entirety of the 2023-24 campaign with the Rockford IceHogs (AHL), registering 27 points (10G / 17A) in 40 games. The 27-year-old will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery.

Marner has not practiced in nearly two weeks, has missed three games, and will miss at least two more with his high-ankle injury. Marner's timeline began as day-to-day, but the severity of his injury has elevated over the past week. The talented right-winger was scoring at a torrid pace before his injury, with 21 points (3G / 18A) in his last 13 games.
Lyubushkin has played five straight for the Maple Leafs, registering two assists, a +1 plus/minus, and 25 hits. The Maple Leafs play back-to-back games on Tuesday and Wednesday but Lyubushkin is unlikely to play the front-end against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Markstrom has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury and will miss at least one more. Dustin Wolf has filled in admirably so far since Markstrom's injury, saving 67 of 70 shots (.957 SV%), winning both of his starts, and will start again Monday against the Washington Capitals.
Eriksson Ek has not played the last two games due to a lower-body injury and will miss at least two more. Eriksson Ek has been tremendous for Minnesota this season and, although the severity of his injury seems minor, it creates a sizeable void down the middle in the lineup. Through 66 games this season, Eriksson Ek already has 60 points (29G / 31A), only one shy of his career-high set last season.
The Panthers do not play until Thursday, March 21st, so Bobrovsky's absence from practice due to illness could be a moot point by then. The veteran netminder has been terrific this season but has struggled lately, allowing three or more goals in three straight (1-2-0), including allowing four goals on 15 shots (.733 SV%) in a 5-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning in his last outing.

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.
