Marchand missed Sunday’s game against the Blackhawks but he will draw back into the lineup tonight. Marchand should be active in all formats, especially against Cam Ward and the Hurricanes who are in the second game of a back-to-back.
Raanta is expected to miss his fourth straight game with a lower-body injury. Darcy Kuemper was likely going to get the start against his former team tonight anyways, so look for Raanta to be ready for Thursday’s game vs. the Predators.
Matthias has been out since January 12th and just because he was activated this afternoon, the 30-year-old is not expected to draw into the Jets lineup on Tuesday. Matthias didn’t bring a lot of offence earlier in the season, picking up just three points (1G / 2A) in 25 games before getting hurt.
Backlund missed Monday’s practice but he is good-to-go for tonight’s game vs. the Oilers. Backlund will have Sam Bennett on his wing tonight though because Mathew Tkachuk is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Backlund has just one goal in his last five games.
Monahan missed Monday’s practice with a lingering issue, but he will be available tongiht vs. the Oilers. Monahan has cooled down recently, picking up just one goal and two assists in his last seven games, but he hit the 30-30 threshold for the second time in four years.
Tkachuk was not on the ice for the second straight day and will miss tonight’s game vs. the Oilers with a suspected concussion. With Tkachuk out, Sam Bennett will move up the lineup and play on the second line and Chris Stewart will draw back in the lineup. Tkachuk is officially listed as day-to-day.
Shattenkirk has been sidelined since the middle of January with a torn meniscus and it looks like his rehab will be pushed back a little bit. The Rangers season is over so there’s no need to rush Shattenkirk, but there is some hope in the organization that he will play again this season.
Dermott missed Tuesday’s practice with an illness, so his status for Wednesday’s game vs. the Stars is in doubt. Calle Rosen was recalled from Toronto (AHL) and will play if Dermott is unable to go.
Zaitsev missed Saturday’s game and both practices on Monday and Tuesday because of an illness, so it doesn’t look like he’ll be available for Wednesday’s game vs. the Stars. Zaitsev is officially listed as questionable, so monitor his status during tomorrow’s morning skate.
Murray has missed the last seven games with a concussion but he faced “full shots” before Tuesday’s practice and will accompany the team on their three-game road trip that starts Wednesday in New York. This doesn’t guarantee that Murray will start on the trip, but at least opens the door for him to practice with the team.
Bernier, who had to leave his first start after a concussion after being hit in the head by a shot, was reportedly feeling better on Monday but he remains out indefinitely. Bernier missed nearly one month the first time around, but head injuries and concussion recovery times always vary. Spencer Martin was recalled but Semyon Varlamov will likely start every game until Bernier is back.
Marchand took the ice for warmups but was a late scratch against the Blackhawks on Sunday afternoon. However, he was on the ice for the Bruins morning skate on Tuesday and should play despite being labeled as a game-time decision.
Seeler has missed the last three games with a biceps injury, but will replace Gustav Olofsson tonight vs. the Avalanche. The 6-foot-2, 200 lbs. defenseman has picked up two assists in 11 games since being recalled from Iowa (AHL).
Despite dealing with kidney stones, it looks like Desharnais will give it a go tonight vs. the Hurricanes. He will centre the fourth line though, so he has no fantasy relevance.
Versteeg practiced with the Flames AHL affiliate during their road-trip but was back on the ice with the Flames on Monday. It was his first full practice since hip surgery in late-November. Versteeg skated on the third line and could return to the lineup Tuesday vs. the Oilers.
Tkachuk was hurt late in Sunday’s game vs. the Islanders following a collision with Mathew Barzal and his absence from Monday’s practice makes him questionable for Tuesday’s game vs. the Oilers. Before panicking, check on Tkachuk’s status during tomorrow’s morning skate .
Kulikov was sent back to Winnipeg after suffering an upper-body injury in New Jersey last Thursday. With Kulikov out for the next two games, Joe Morrow will remain on the Jets blueline in Washington on Monday.
Mason posted a 31-save shutout after retuning from a concussion and immediately suffered a knee injury in the next practice and will be out until at least late-March. With Mason out, Michael Hutchinson will continue to see time as the Jets’ No.2 netidner.
Matthews was once again on the ice on Monday, but he has already been ruled out for Wednesday’s game vs. Dallas. However, head coach Mike Babcock said that he could “become an option to get back in at some point after that.” If he isn’t playing Wednesday vs. the Stars it seems unlikely that he will play in Buffalo on Thursday, but Saturday’s game vs. Montreal seems like a possibility.
Enstrom will not play for the sixth time in seven games, but he is improving and could return tomorrow in Nashville. Expect Enstrom to be a game-time decision vs. the Predators because the Jets likely won’t hold a gameday skate.
The NHL injury report is updated daily so that you can see the latest injury news ahead of puck drop in any of today’s matchups.

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.
