Stillman has missed the last three games with a knee injury but will be a game-time decision in Washington. Stillman would replace Calvin de Haan (back) if he were to play.

Kulak has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury but will return to the lineup on Thursday. Kulak will replace Mattias Norlinder in the lineup.

Brown returned to the lineup on Monday but played just 2:35 TOI before departing with an upper-body injury. Brown will be out until after the Christmas break and could be sidelined until mid-January.

Stecher will be out until at least late February after undergoing wrist surgery. Stecher played a huge role for the Red Wings last year (17:19 ATOI) but the additions of Moritz Seider and Nick Leddy has pushed him down the depth chart (14:28 ATOI), so this isn't a huge loss for the Red Wing, who will continue to use Gustav Lindstrom on the third pair.

Stillman suffered a left knee injury early in Sunday's win over the Canucks and his designation for IR means he'll miss at least the next three games. Wyatt Kalynuk was recalled from the AHL to take Stillman's spot on the roster in Calgary.

Janmark missed the morning skate but the Golden Knights are optimistic that he will play vs. the Blue Jackets. Janmark has been quiet so far this season, picking up just two assists in 12 games.

Nurse will be out until at least early November with a broken finger, which means that Philip Broberg should get an extended look with the Oilers. Evan Bouchard should take on more power-play usage as well.

As previously reported, Nurse is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks with an undisclosed injury. Nurse and Slater Koekkoek are going on IR together, opening up roster spots for Philip Broberg and William Lagessson to be called up from the AHL.

Nurse was hurt in Thursday's win over the Jets and is expected to miss at least the Oilers last four games of November. Philip Broberg will be promoted from the AHL to help replace him.
