New York Rangers center Nick Bonino is nursing a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day. The veteran couldn't practice on Wednesday and could miss his first game of the season when the Rangers face Nashville on Thursday. Bonino has started the season centering the Rangers' fourth line. He's gone scoreless so far with one shot on goal while averaging 11:07 of ice time. Jimmy Vesey should jump into the lineup Thursday if Bonino isn't available. The veteran winger has made one appearance this season, recording an assist and two shots on goal in a 5-3 loss to Columbus on Saturday.

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Nick Bonino had to step out of the lineup Saturday versus Philadelphia due to a kidney laceration. He was injured Thursday against the Islanders and is now recovering from surgery. The team considers Bonino week-to-week. It's an unfortunate blow for the veteran who has only just returned to the team. Bonino was brought back in a trade deadline move, but he managed to skate in only three games for the Penguins before getting sidelined. Alex Nylander took Bonino's place in the lineup Saturday.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have brought back Nick Bonino to the team, acquiring him in a three-team trade from the San Jose Sharks. The deal also involved the Montreal Canadiens, who picked up half of Bonino's salary. The Penguins gave up the rights to defenseman Arvid Henriksson, a conditional 2024 fifth-round selection and a 2023 seventh-round pick. Bonino also played in Pittsburgh for a couple of seasons a few years back, winning back-to-back Stanley Cup championships with the team. The veteran was with the Sharks since last year and has posted 10 goals and 19 points in 59 appearances this season. He's played a very marginal role in fantasy hockey and that won't change with the move, but Bonino brings a lot of experience and know-how for the team's playoff push.

San Jose Sharks forwards Alexander Barabanov and Nick Bonino are both battling an illness and are considered questionable for Saturday's matchup against Nashville. Head coach Bob Boughner faces a selection headache if neither player is ready to go. However, there is at least some good news for San Jose as well, with Rudolfs Balcers (upper body) likely returning to the lineup. He's missed the past four games and based on practice lines, the Latvian might make his return on the top line, which will give his fantasy value a very big boost.
