Zibanejad suffered an upper-body injury against the Bruins on Sunday and will not be in the lineup vs. Tampa Bay. Zibanejad will be replaced by Filip Chytil, who was recalled from Hartford (AHL) on Monday. Zibanejad is officially day-to-day.
Wagner missed Sunday's game in New York but draws back into the lineup on Tuesday. Wagner has just two assists in 10 games this season but ranks in the top-20 in the NHL in hits (3.1 hits/gm). He'll skate in his familiar fourth-line spot tonight.
Krejci has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but will play Tuesday vs. the Sharks. Krejci will be back on the second line with Jake DeBrusk and Danton Heinen on his wings and will also skate on the second power-play unit. Krejci has one assist in five games this season.
The Avalanche are already without Mikko Rantanen on a week-to-week basis and now Landeskog could miss an extended period of time with a lower-body issue. This is a massive blow for the Avalanche and leaves Nathan MacKinnon on an island on their top-line. The Avalanche should release a more detailed timetable in the coming days.
Erne has missed the last four games with an undisclosed injury but could play Tuesday vs. the Oilers. Erne skated on Tuesday morning but is still awaiting medical clearance to return to the lineup.
Abdelkader is set to miss his third straight game with a lower-body injury and he was moved to IR to open up a roster spot to bring up Joe Hicketts from Grand Rapids (AHL). He is eligible to come off of injured reserve and play in the Red Wings next game (Friday in Carolina.)
Motte suffered the injury while blocking a shot on Friday and is expected to miss at least one week. With Motte out, Loui Eriksson will be back in the Canucks lineup on Monday and Adam Gaudette was summoned from Utica (AHL).
Carrick broke his finger while blocking a shot in practice last Thursday and will be sidelined until at least late-November. This injury opens the door for one of Matt Tennyson or Mirco Mueller to remain in the lineup once Will Butcher is back.
Zibanejad suffered an upper-body injury on Sunday and was not on the ice for Monday’s practice. Brett Howden was bumped up into the top-6 and Ryan Strome was on the first power-play unit after Zibanejad got hurt. Look for them to play expanded roles and for Jesper Fast (personal) to replace him in the lineup if Zibanejad can’t play.
Fast missed Sunday’s game against the Bruins due to personal reasons but is expected to draw back in on Tuesday. Fast would likely replace Mika Zibanejad, who is questionable with an upper-body issue. Fast has two goals and three assists in eight games this season.
Dumoulin has missed the last four games with a lower-body issue but was a full participant in Monday’s practice. He is officially listed as a game-time decision for tomorrow’s game and would likely replace Jusso Riikola if he plays.
Galchenyuk was a full participant in Monday’s practice and could be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Galchenyuk, who has been out since October 8th, will be a game-time decision and had two assists in his first three games with the Penguins.
Appleton will miss at least one month with a broken foot that he suffered while playing football during the Heritage Classic. His move to IR opened up a roster spot for the Jets to recall Logan Shaw from Manitoba (AHL).
Forsberg skated in a non-contact sweater during Monday’s practice, suggesting that he’s not quite ready for Tuesday’s game vs. Chicago. His return to practice is a good sign that he is nearing a return and could be back this week (TUE vs. CHI, THU vs. CGY & SAT vs. NYR).
Malkin returned to the ice on Monday but will not play Tuesday vs. the Flyers. Instead, Malkin is hoping to be back in the lineup vs. the Oilers on Saturday. Continue to monitor Malkin’s status as the weekend approaches.
Dermott has missed the first 13 games of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery in May. Dermott will replace Kevin Gravel and skate with Justin Holl in his season debut. The 23-year-old blueliner had 17 points (4G / 13A) in 64 games last season.
Tarasenko left last Thursday’s game vs. Los Angels with an injury that we now know will require surgery. This is a devastating blow for the defending Stanley Cup Champions. Tarasenko has missed just 15 games over the last five years but will be out until at least late-March, effectively ending his 2019-20 campaign. The in-house replacement for Tarasenko appears to be Robert Thomas for now but with Tarasenko heading to LTIR, don’t be surprised if the Blues make a move for a winger.
Texier was forced to leave Saturday's game with a knee injury and is expected to be out until mid-November. Jakob Lilja is expected to replace Texier in the lineup on Wednesday.
Murray suffered a broken hand in the Blue Jackets loss to the Flyers on Saturday. Markus Nutivaara will replace him on Wednesday if he is able to return from his lower-body injury. Don't expect to see Murray until mid-to-late November.
Richardson will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury which means that Barrett Hayton will remain in the lineup on Monday. Richardson skated this morning which suggests he could be back for Wednesday's game vs. the Canadiens.
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. Seeing timely updates to the NHL injury report can make a major impact on your daily fantasy sports picks and wagers on a particular game. All information provided on the NHL injury report is provided directly by the NHL and each respective franchise to ensure accuracy.
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.
