Mintyukov left the Ducks' game Tuesday after 12:53 TOI due to an undisclosed injury and did not practice Wednesday. The 20-year-old rookie standout is without a timetable to return as the Ducks' have provided little updates with Anaheim on an off day Wednesday.

Carlsson seems to be ahead of his original four-to-six-week prognosis after suffering a sprained right MCL in an awkward collision with Mackenzie Weegar of the Calgary Flames in late December. The 2023 second-overall pick has eight goals and seven assists through the first 23 games of his rookie season.
Zegras played only 2:05 time-on-ice before suffering a lower-body injury and exiting the game in the first period.

Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman have almost exclusively split starting time this season, but if Ullmark is out of the lineup for any time, Swayman will take the reigns between the pipes.
Wood did not play on Saturday, was a game-time decision on Monday, and has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights as he battles the flu.

Despite scoring two points (1G / 1A) for the Sabres on Tuesday night, Skinner suffered an upper-body injury at some point and received an MRI on Wednesday.

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.
