Archibald missed Saturday’s game vs. the Kings due to illness and is expected to miss his second straight game on Tuesday. Markus Granlund will remain in the Oilers lineup with Archibald out.
Chiasson is expected to miss his second straight game with an illness. With Chiasson sidelined, Patrick Russell will remain in the Oilers lineup against the Islanders. Chiasson is day-to-day.
Despite being placed on IR on Monday night, Athanasiou was on the ice for the morning skate and will play Tuesday vs. the Ducks. Head coach Jeff Blashill confirmed that Athanasiou will play and is expected to centre the second line with Luke Glendening and Taro Hirose on his wings.
Morrissey missed Sunday’s game with an upper-body injury and will miss Tuesday’s game despite taking part in practice on Monday. The Jets are also without Dmitry Kulikov (personal), so Sami Niku and Nelson Nogier were recalled from Manitoba (AHL). Morrissey should be back in vs. the Wild on Thursday.
Little has missed the first three games of the season and has been moved to IR to open up a roster spot for the Jets to recall Nelson Nogier from Manitoba (AHL) for Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh.
Steel missed Saturday’s game vs. the Sharks with what the Ducks described as a “mid-body” injury. Isac Lundestrom replaced him on Saturday but Steel could play in Detroit after accompanying the team on the road trip. Monitor his status after the team’s morning skate.
Ericsson has missed the first two games of the season and heads to IR to open up a roster spot to recall Oliwer Kaski from Grand Rapids (AHL). Ericsson still isn’t practicing, so there’s no timetable for his return.
Daley was forced to leave Sunday’s game after playing just 7:25 TOI and did not return. The Red Wings traded for Alex Biega after the game, which led some to speculate that Daley will be out for an extended period of time. Madison Bowey will likely replace him in the lineup on Tuesday but Biega was also recalled from Grand Rapids (AHL) following Daley’s move to IR.
Nielsen took a puck to the face late in Sunday’s win and his movement to IR is likely related to that incident. With Nielsen on IR, the Red Wings have recalled Evgeny Svechnikov from Grand Rapids (AHL) to take his spot on the roster.
Athanasiou has missed the first two games of the regular season and was moved to IR, retroactively to September 20th, which means he can be activated whenever he is healthy. Athanasiou practiced on Friday, which suggests that he shouldn’t be out too long, so monitor his status throughout the week.
Heed was absent from Monday’s practice with an upper-body injury and is questionable for Tuesday’s game in Nashville. Trevor Carrick skated on the third pairing with Heed, Radim Simek and Dalton Prout al injured.
Crouse missed Monday’s practice with an upper-body injury which makes him questionable heading into Thursday’s game vs. the Golden Knights. With Crouse hurt, Barrett Hayton will likely make his NHL debut this week.
Cole is on injured reserve as he recovers from offseason hip surgery but he is nearing his season debut. Cole was on the ice for Monday’s practice and was cleared for contact. Look for Cole to potentially be inserted into the Avalanche lineup at some point this week.
Kadri took a shot off of his foot on Saturday and is sore, but head coach Jared Bednar expects him to play vs. the Bruins on Tuesday. Kadri is still searching for his first point with the Avalanche, but has four shots and has averaged 15:55 TOI/gm through two games.
Morrissey missed Sunday’s game against the Islanders but was back at practice this morning and could be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Morrissey skated on the top pair and top power-play unit, which is a good sign for him suiting up in Pittsburgh. Morrissey has averaged an absurd 26:01 TOI/gm through two games on the Jets' new-look blueline.
Kulikov has left the Winnipeg Jets to attend to a “personal family matter.” Josh Morrissey was back on the ice for Monday’s practice and took Kulikov’s spot. Sami Niku will also be recalled from Manitoba (AHL) to provide the Jets with blueline depth while Kulikov is away.
Both Bjugstad and Evgeni Malkin are expected to miss extended periods of time with lower-body injuries. The Penguins were deep down the middle heading into the season and now will have to rely on players like Jared McCann and Teddy Blueger to centre their middle-6. Bjugstad has missed at least 15 games in three of the last four years.
Durability has always been a concern for Malkin, who has missed 20 percent of the games over the last six years, and now he is expected to miss a large chunk of 2019-20. With Nick Bjugstad also out “longer-term," the Penguins are going to lean heavily on Jared McCann and Teddy Blueger to stabilize their second and third lines.
Kempny was on the ice for Monday’s practice but is not ready to play vs. Dallas. Jonas Siegenthaler is expected to be recalled from Hershey (AHL) and will skate on the top-pair with John Carlson. Kempny remains day-to-day and Thursday is a possible return date for him.
Anderson played 16:54 and 16:01 TOI in his first two games of the season but will come out of the lineup vs. Buffalo. Anderson battled a lingering shoulder injury throughout training camp but there’s no evidence that it’s the same injury. Sonny Milano will replace Anderson in the Blue Jackets lineup.

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.
