Sanderson suffered the injury towards the end of the first period of Wednesday's game and did not return. We should expect to receive an update on the injury and a possible timeline for his return following the conclusion of Wednesday's game.
Lewis recorded an assist, snapping a 15-game pointless streak, on Sunday while playing 11:36 time-on-ice. Lewis will skate with Alex Turcotte and Carl Grundstrom on the Kings' fourth line after being a game-time decision on Wednesday against the Nashville Predators.
Carrier played only 8:01 time-on-ice before exiting Monday's game against the Ottawa Senators with an undisclosed injury. The 27-year-old defender has 44 hits and 92 blocks while averaging 18:09 time-on-ice through 46 games this season. Carrier's absence will make way for Tyson Barrie to return to the Predators' lineup.
Kyle Burroughs will draw back into the lineup on Wednesday, replacing Emberson, who will not play due to an upper-body injury. Emberson played the last two games for the Sharks, recording an assist in both along with four hits.
Hertl left the Sharks' contest Saturday vs. Buffalo after just 16:50 TOI due to a lower-body injury and did not play Tuesday. The 30-year-old's injury is not expected to be severe enough to hold him out from representing San Jose at the 2024 NHL All-Star games after collecting 15 goals, 34 points, 113 SOG, 22 PIMs and a -26 plus/minus in 48 games before his injury.
Fantilli was limited to only 7:30 time-on-ice on Monday before exiting the game with a calf laceration. The 19-year-old rookie will miss approximately eight weeks, a devastating blow for a Blue Jackets team that has struggled all season. In 49 games this season, Fantilli had 27 points (12G / 15A), 115 shots, and 46 hits, one of the few bright spots on the Blue Jackets' season.
Lyubuskin has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but will draw back into the lineup on Wednesday against the San Jose Sharks. In his last three outings, Lyubushkin has a -4 plus/minus, one shot, and two hits.

After missing two straight games with an illness, Byfield will draw back into the lineup for the Kings on Wednesday evening.

Carrier played only 8:01 time-on-ice before exiting Monday's game against the Ottawa Senators with an undisclosed injury. The 27-year-old defender has 44 hits and 92 blocks while averaging 18:09 time-on-ice through 46 games this season. Carrier will be a game-time decision on Wednesday, but don't be surprised if he can't play, as Tyson Barrie has already been confirmed to return to the Predators lineup.
Husso wasn't scheduled to start on Wednesday but will be out of the lineup entirely after coming down with an illness. Husso has not played a game since returning to the lineup last week and will likely continue to be a secondary option between the pipes as long as Alex Lyon continues to give the Red Wings solid goaltending regularly.
Andersen was diagnosed with deep-vein thrombosis and subsequent pulmonary embolisms in November. Andersen has resumed off-ice activities without complication and will not begin limited on-ice conditioning. Andersen remains without a timetable to return to the lineup.

Quinn suffered the injury during Saturday's game in San Jose. The only initial update given by the team was that it was more serious than a day-to-day situation, and that was certainly accurate given the eight-week timeline announced today. Quinn was enjoying a nice start to his season after returning from an Achilles injury in mid-December, registering five goals and seven assists in 17 games. The timeline of his latest injury puts him on track to return around the end of March.

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.
