Faulk has missed the last three games and is expected to miss his fourth consecutive game on Tuesday. Faulk’s loss is huge for the Hurricanes, so potentially getting him back at the end of the week is huge news for the Canes and Faulk owners alike.
Faulk got hurt in the Hurricanes’ last game before the break and will miss at least a few weeks. This is a huge blow for the Hurricanes and will get Ryan Murphy back in the lineup with Faulk sidelined.
Witkowski had one assist in his last four games and has just that one assist in eight games with the Lightning this season. The 26-year-old returns to Syracuse, where he has three assists in 11 games this season.
Krug was absent from the Bruins’ morning skate on Monday, but head coach Claude Julien said that Krug will try and give it a go tonight. Krug has had a hard time finding the back of the net in his first 25 games, scoring just one goal on 77 shots, but it’s only a matter of time before the puck starts bouncing the right way for the talented defenseman.
Bjugstad missed the first 19 games of the season with a broken hand, but will make his season debut Tuesday. There was no word on where Bjugstad would fit into the lineup, but expect a full update during Tuesday’s morning skate. The Panthers went 10-8-1 without Bjugstad, but his return will help immensely. He had 34 points (15G / 19A) in 67 games a season ago.
Buchnevich will sit out for a second straight game because of back spasms. Buchnevich has been impressive in his first 10 games, collecting eight points (4G / 4A). Consider him day-to-day.
Faulk has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, but will be back in the lineup tonight vs. San Jose. Faulk has collected three goals and three assists in 11 games so far this season.
Bjugstad’s season debut continues to be pushed back as it looks like he won’t be able to return until Saturday at the earliest. Bjugstad’s return adds a ton of depth to the Panthers’ lineup. Monitor his status leading into the weekend.
Faulk has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, but he appears to be on-track to return on Friday. Head coach Bill Peters has not ruled Faulk out for Tuesday, but it doesn’t seem likely that he will play until later this week.
Witkowski, 26, has picked up three assists in 11 games with Syracuse this season. His call-up is likely related to Anton Stralman’s injury and suggests that Stralman may not be available vs. the Islanders. Witkowski has no points in 20 career NHL games.
Faulk was listed as week-to-week, so his movement to IR creates a roster to recall a defenseman from Charlotte (AHL). Faulk will likely miss at least two weeks.
Faulk was injured in Sunday’s game vs. the Devils and will likely miss at least two weeks with an upper-body injury. With Faulk out, Jaccob Slavin and Brett Pesce will make up the Hurricanes’ top-pair. Noah Hanifin should take over Faulk’s duties on the top power-play unit.
Faulk left Sunday’s game vs. the Devils with an undisclosed injury and it will keep him out of Monday’s game. Faulk is arguably the Hurricanes’ most important player, so this is a huge loss. Consider him day-to-day until more information on his injury is released.
Bjugstad was expected to return this week, but head coach Gerard Gallant said that he will likely miss seven more days. Continue to monitor Bjugstad’s status as the week progresses, but don’t expect him to make his season debut until next Tuesday at the earliest.
Bjugstad has missed the first 10 games of the season with a broken hand and will miss at least two more games. Head coach Gerard Gallant said Bjugstad is getting close and should return to the lineup next week.
Buchnevich has missed the last five games with a back issue, but will be back in the lineup on Friday. Buchnevich has one assist in two NHL games and will take Josh Jooris’ spot in the lineup.
Buchnevich will miss his fifth consecutive game with a back injury, but he reportedly worked very hard in practice on Wednesday and is expected to return to the lineup on Friday. Buchnevich has one assist and four shots in two games this season.
Buchnevich has missed the last four games with a back injury, but he remains day-to-day and is not expected to play vs. the Bruins on Wednesday.
Buchnevich will miss his third consecutive game with back spasms. He remains day-to-day and with the Rangers having a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, expect him to miss both contests.
