Noah Dobson Heads To Injured Reserve

New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson (lower body) has been placed on IR due to an injury suffered on Monday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Dobson will be sidelined week-to-week, but his injury will not require surgery. The Islanders already have trouble scoring goals, so missing their powerplay quarterback and top offensive defenseman will hurt […]

Tony DeAngelo Signs One-Year Deal With Islanders

The New York Islanders have signed defenseman Tony DeAngelo to a one-year, league-minimum contract for the remainder of the 2024-25 season. DeAngelo was playing for St. Petersburg SKA in the KHL earlier this season, scoring 32 points (six goals, 26 assists) in 34 games before being released from his contract due to locker room issues. […]

Patrick Kane Not Ready To Return

Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane (upper body) won't play on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Kane also missed Thursday's game, but head coach Todd McLellan said that Kane remains day-to-day. It is unfortunate timing for the 36-year-old, who had been on a heater recently, scoring 16 points in his last 13 games. Vladimir Tarasenko […]

Matthew Knies Has No Timeline To Return, Deemed Day-To-Day

Toronto Maple Leafs winger Matthew Knies (upper body) is day-to-day after leaving Wednesday's game early with an upper-body injury. Knies wasn't given a timeline to return, so it is unlikely that he will come back for Saturday's game against the Ottawa Senators. Knies has been a key part of Toronto's first line this season, scoring […]

Anthony Stolarz Returns To Practice, Expected Back Soon

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz (knee) skated at practice on Friday and is on schedule in his recovery from a procedure that removed a loose body from his knee. Stolarz hasn't practiced since December 12 and was given a four-to-six-week recovery time, meaning he should be able to return in the next week or […]

Jacob Markstrom Set To Miss 4-6 Weeks With MCL Sprain

New Jersey Devils goaltender Jacob Markstrom (knee) will be out four-to-six weeks after undergoing imaging that revealed an MCL sprain. Markstrom was injured in Wednesday's game after a collision and will now miss the remainder of the Devil's games leading into the Four Nations break, which starts on February 12. Markstrom has been brilliant in […]

Philipp Grubauer Day-To-Day, Ales Stezka Called Up

Seattle Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer (undisclosed) will miss Friday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights as he deals with an injury suffered at home. The injury doesn't appear to be serious, as he was on the ice Friday morning, but it is enough to keep him out for at least one game. Ales Stezka was […]

Shane Pinto Could Return Saturday

Ottawa Senators center Shane Pinto (undisclosed) has been skating with the team and has a good chance to return on Saturday against the Boston Bruins. Pinto has missed seven games after suffering an injury on October 22. The 23-year-old has three points in six games so far this season and will likely return to his […]

Jakob Chychrun Skating, Unlikely To Play Friday

Washington Capitals defenseman Jakob Chychrun (upper body) was at team practice in a regular jersey, but doesn't seem to be ready to go for Friday's contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Chychrun has missed the last four games due to an upper-body injury suffered on October 29, but he is progressing and should return soon. The […]

Alex Lyon Dealing With Lower-Body Injury, Ville Husso Called Up

Detroit Red Wings goalie Alex Lyon (lower body) tweaked an injury in practice on Thursday and won't play in either of the team's back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday. Cam Talbot will get Friday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, while Ville Husso was called up from the AHL and will start Saturday against the […]

Thatcher Demko Progressing In Recovery From Knee Issue

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko (knee) could return before the end of November. Demko has been dealing with an uncommon knee injury that dates back to the 2024 playoffs and hasn't played in any games yet this season. He has been skating at optional skates and individually before team practices as he gets himself ready […]

Auston Matthews Placed On Injured Reserve

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (upper body) has been placed on Injured Reserve, retroactive to Nov. 3. Matthews will be out for at least this weekend's games due to an upper-body injury but could return next week if things go well for him. He has not skated since Sunday, so it is unsurprising that […]

Aleksei Kolosov Injured In Pregame Skate On Thursday

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Aleksei Kolosov (undisclosed) suffered an apparent injury during the team's skate on Thursday and is unlikely to start against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Kolosov was the expected start for the Thursday night game, but it looks like Ivan Fedotov will have to fill in. Kolosov may be able to back up Fedotov […]

Jake Walman Will Not Play Thursday

San Jose Sharks defenseman Jake Walman (upper body) will not play on Thursday due to an upper-body injury. Walman has had a weird couple of weeks, first contributing seven points in a three-game stretch last week, then getting healthy scratched for disciplinary reasons on Tuesday, and now missing Thursday's game with a new injury. It's […]

Anthony Mantha Headed To Injured Reserve

Calgary Flames winger Anthony Mantha (lower body) was placed on IR on Thursday after suffering a lower-body injury in the first period of Tuesday's game against the Montreal Canadiens. Mantha will be out for at least the next three games while on IR. It is unfortunate timing for the 30-year-old, who seemed to be finding […]

Auston Matthews' Status Up In The Air

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (upper body) did not skate on Thursday and remains day-to-day heading into the weekend. Matthews did not play on Tuesday due to an upper-body injury, and coach Craig Berube said he isn't sure if Matthews will be ready to go for the Leafs' back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday. […]

Matvei Michkov Will Be A Healthy Scratch On Thursday

Philadelphia Flyers winger Matvei Michkov won't play on Thursday night. Nothing is wrong with Michkov, as head coach John Tortorella has simply decided to scratch the rookie phenom. It is an interesting choice, as the Flyers have struggled to score and Michkov has 10 points (four goals, six assists) in 13 games to start his […]

Samuel Ersson Misses Monday Practice

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson (lower body) wasn't at Monday's team practice after leaving Saturday's game against the Boston Bruins in the first period. Ersson was seen pointing to his left leg before being taken out. The 25-year-old has been the undisputed number-one goalie in Philly, and if he is set to miss a significant […]

Connor McDavid Ahead Of Schedule In Recovery

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid (ankle) skated on Monday and is now considered day-to-day. McDavid was originally given a two-to-three-week timeline to return from an ankle injury suffered on October 28, but appears to be slightly ahead of schedule. The 27-year-old superstar didn't rule out a return against Vancouver this Saturday, something both the Oilers […]

Philip Broberg Will Miss Several Weeks With Lower-Body Injury

St. Louis Blues defenseman Philip Broberg (lower body) will miss the next four to six weeks due to a leg injury suffered on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Valeri Nichushkin Will Return When First Eligible

Colorado Avalanche winger Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) will return on November 15th from the NHLPA Player Assistance Program.

Zach Benson Could Play Next Week

Buffalo Sabres winger Zach Benson (lower body) has a chance to return next week if his recovery continues to go well, according to head coach Lindy Ruff. Benson has missed the last three games due to a lingering lower-body injury that has hampered him all season. He won't play Friday against the New York Islanders […]

Jani Hakanpaa And Connor Dewar Sent On Conditioning Stint

Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Jani Hakanpaa (knee) and center Connor Dewar (shoulder) have been sent on a conditioning loan to the Toronto Marlies of the AHL. Hakanpaa and Dewar both haven't played this year due to injuries suffered before the season started. Both should have a good chance to get into the lineup once their […]

Dmitri Voronkov Ready For Season Debut Friday

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Dmitri Voronkov (upper-body) is set to make his season debut on Friday against the Winnipeg Jets. Voronkov missed the first nine games of the season after suffering an upper-body injury in the final game of the preseason. The 24-year-old had a solid rookie season last year, notching 34 points (18 goals, […]

Mathew Barzal Getting Tests Done For Upper-Body Injury

New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal (upper-body) has traveled back to New York to see team doctors about an upper-body injury. Barzal played in Wednesday's game against Columbus, logging 22:46 TOI, but evidently something happened late in that game or the day after. Barzal will not play Friday against Buffalo and could be looking at […]

Vladimir Tarasenko Ready To Go For Saturday

Detroit Red Wings winger Vladimir Tarasenko (illness) appears to be over his sickness and should play on Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres. Tarasenko missed Wednesday's game while dealing with the flu, but is back at practice Friday. The 32-year-old is off to a rough start with his new team, as he has just two goals […]

Mark Stone Misses Practice Due To Birth Of Child

Vegas Golden Knights winger Mark Stone (personal) will not practice on Friday for personal reasons and is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Utah. Stone is welcoming his second child into the world, so he shouldn't miss too much time, if any. The 32-year-old is on pace for career-highs in goals, assists, and points […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Causes Havoc On Basepaths

New York Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. made his presence known in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday, swiping three bags and scoring an important run late in the game. Jazz stole third base in the top of the 10th and scored on a fielder's choice right after, giving the Yanks a […]

Giancarlo Stanton Keeps On Raking In Postseason

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton did it again in Game 1 on Friday, smacking a two-run homer to give the Yanks a 2-1 lead. They would end up losing 6-3, but Stanton cannot be faulted. He now has a whopping six homers in 39 postseason at-bats, and has homered in four straight. His […]

Freddie Freeman Hits First Ever Walk-Off Grand Slam In World Series

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman played the hero in Game 1 of the World Series, hitting a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the 10th to send the crowd into a frenzy and give the Dodgers a 6-3 win. Freeman demolished the first pitch he saw from lefty Nestor Cortes, who was […]
