Aho was hit in the head and the knee on a dangerous hit by Mark Giordano, that resulted in a match penalty for the defenseman. Aho was favoring his left leg as he was helped off of the ice, but luckily for the Hurricanes’ leading scorer, they have the next five days off with a bye week. Monitor Aho’s status heading into Saturday’s game in Detroit.
Aho was hurt over the weekend but practiced on Monday and took part in today’s morning skate. Head coach Bill Peters said that Aho “should be good to go” so look for the talented second-year forward to play in Tampa Bay. Aho has six goals and four assists (10 points) in his last seven games.
The Hurricanes called Aho day-to-day with a lower-body injury after he left Saturday’s game in Boston early. However, Aho was back on the ice on Monday morning in a full capacity and it looks like he should be good-to-go for the Hurricanes game in Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
Fast suffered the injury in the Rangers shootout loss to the Devils last night. Fast will be out until January and his injury means that Boo Nieves will likely draw back into the lineup on Saturday.
Hall left last night’s game vs. the Kings after scoring two goals in 16:31 of ice-time. Hall has been excellent in 30 games this season, recording 11 goals and 20 assists (31 points). Monitor his status before the Devils depart for Montreal.
Carrier is day-to-day with an upper-body injury so he will be held out of the lineup tonight vs. the Stars. Stefan Matteau is expected to draw in for his Golden Knights debut to replace Carrier.
Gostisbehere has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury that he suffered last Saturday in Toronto, but he was on the ice for today’s morning skate and he said he feels good enough to play. It sounds like Gostisbehere will return, but he is officially listed as a game-time decision.
Gostisbehere will miss the Flyers back-to-back on Wednesday/Thursday but has not been ruled out for Saturday’s home game against the Avalanche. With Gostisbehere still out, Ivan Provorov will continue to be leaned on as the Flyers’ No.1 defenseman.
Gostisbehere had to leave Saturday’s game in Toronto with a potential head injury after being blasted from behind by Leo Komarov. With Gostisbehere out, Robert Hagg is skating on the top-pairing with Ivan Provorov and Provorov is on the top power-play unit. Either Samue Morin or Mark Alt will draw into the lineup to game Gostisbehere’s spot.
Reilly picked up three assists in four games with the Wild before heading to Iowa, where he had a goal in his only game. The 24-year-old has a lot off offensive ability, but needs regular playing time to be a real fantasy asset.
