Jake DeBrusk has been placed on the long-term injured list (lower-body).

Debrusk was caught in a walking boot following Tuesday's Winter Classic game and will be out indefinitely as he deals with a fractured fibula. It is a huge loss for the Bruins and the 26-year-old who has been enjoying a true breakout season with 16 goals, 14 assists, 109 SOG and a +15 plus/minus through 36 games so far.

Aatu Raty will make his NHL debut Friday vs. Florida.

Raty has five goals, seven assists, 10 PIMs and was a +4 plus/minus through 23 games with Bridgeport (AHL) and will be called up for the first time in his NHL career to the Islanders. The 2021 2nd-round pick (52nd overall) will be looking to make his NHL debut if he finds his way into New York's lineup.

Paul Cotter has been placed on the injured reserve (upper body).

Cotter did not play in the Golden Knights game Wednesday and will head to the injured reserve due to an upper-body injury. Cotter had been playing well in his first full NHL season, with four goals, two assists, 29 SOG and eight PIMs through 22 games prior to the injury.

Filip Chytil will play Tuesday vs. the Penguins (upper body).

Chytil left the Rangers' previous contest vs. Chicago after just 4:48 TOI due to an upper-body injury but still managed to pick up a goal and an assist with two SOG in his limited time. There was a chance he would be forced to miss Tuesday, but he announced in the morning that he is "good to go" and will play vs. Pittsburgh.

Filip Chytil
Chytil (upper-body) is questionable to play Monday in Pittsburgh.

Chytil collected one goal and one assist in 4:48 TOI before exiting Sunday's game in Chicago with an upper-body injury. After Chytil left, Barclay Goodrow moved to centre, and Vitaly Kravtsov moved up the lineup, look for that to remain if he can't go Tuesday.

Brock Boeser will be a game-time decision Monday (illness).

Boeser has missed the Canucks last two games due to illness and will be a game-time decision Monday as they take on St. Louis. It has been a rocky season for the 25-year-old, dealing with trade speculations while putting up four goals, 12 assists, 48 SOG with a -14 plus/minus through 22 games played so far.
