Devon Toews to Miss at Least Two Weeks

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Devon Toews (upper body) is expected to miss a minimum of two weeks. He was unavailable for a second straight game on Tuesday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Samuel Girard has replaced Toews on the first defensive pairing, with Ilya Solovyov slotting into the lineup on the third pairing. While Girard has yet to make a significant fantasy impact despite an expanded role, Solovyov produced an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay. It was his first point in 11 appearances this season.

Gabriel Landeskog Out for Several Weeks

Colorado Avalanche winger Gabriel Landeskog (upper body) will be sidelined for several weeks. "He's going to miss some weeks," Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar said on Tuesday. "I don't know exactly how long [he'll be out]; we'll have a better idea when we get back. We'll see how he's feeling, but he's going to miss some time." Landeskog suffered an upper-body injury on Sunday in a collision with the goalpost in a matchup against the Florida Panthers. In Landeskog's absence, Artturi Lehkonen was promoted to the top line in Tuesday's loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, while Victor Olofsson shifted up to the second line.

Jamie Drysdale Makes Early Exit Tuesday

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale (undisclosed) was injured during Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks. The 23-year-old was limited to 5:56 of ice time, exiting the contest after absorbing a big open-ice hit from Ducks forward Ross Johnston, who was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct for interference. Drysdale is having a nice bounce-back campaign in 2025-26, with 18 points (three goals, 15 assists) and 41 blocks in 41 outings. He needs only three more points to surpass his scoring total from last season. If Drysdale misses time, Noah Juulsen will likely be used as his replacement in the lineup.

Bobby Brink Injured in Tuesday's Win

Philadelphia Flyers right wing Bobby Brink (upper body) had a very brief night at the office on Tuesday against the Anaheim Ducks, leaving the game after his first shift. He suffered an upper-body injury on a hit. Brink has notched 11 goals and 20 points in 41 appearances this season. His spot in the lineup could be filled by Matvei Michkov (foot), who missed Tuesday's 5-2 win after being a game-time call. If the Russian forward needs more time to recover from his foot injury, Nicolas Deslauriers is another option to step into the lineup.

Adam Henrique Expected to Miss Time

Edmonton Oilers center Adam Henrique (undisclosed) is expected to miss time after sustaining an injury during Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Nashville Predators, Robert Tychkowski of the Edmonton Journal reports. The veteran logged only 2:26 of ice time in the contest before leaving with an undisclosed injury. After the game, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said Henrique might be out "a little while." Working as Edmonton's third-line center, Henrique has contributed two goals and eight assists in 43 games this season. Trent Frederic and Andrew Mangiapane, both healthy scratches on Tuesday, are candidates to fill Henrique's spot in the lineup on Thursday versus the Winnipeg Jets.

Brad Marchand Dealing With Lingering Health Issue

Florida Panthers winger Brad Marchand (undisclosed) did not play in the third period of Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Panthers head coach Paul Maurice told reporters postgame that Marchand is dealing with a lingering issue. "He's been dealing with something," Maurice said. "It just got to the point we didn't want to make it worse. We're a little sensitive about injuries here now and do our best to keep guys healthy. So, that was a coach's decision." Marchand has so far missed only one game this season. He recently had a 10-game point streak and has been a regular scorer all year, leading the Panthers with 46 points (23 goals, 23 assists) in 41 games.

Haydn Fleury Hospitalized Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Haydn Fleury (upper body) was hospitalized on Tuesday after he was injured in a matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights. Fleury had to be stretchered off the ice in the first period after Golden Knights forward Keegan Kolesar shoved him, causing him to crash back-first into the boards. On Tuesday, Fleury filled in for Logan Stanley (suspension) in the Jets' defense. He only recently returned from a concussion and could now be looking at another extended spell on the sidelines. Fleury has made 17 appearances this season, recording 26 blocks and 23 hits but no points.

Mason Marchment Out Tuesday

Columbus Blue Jackets left wing Mason Marchment (lower body) won't be in the lineup on Tuesday against the San Jose Sharks, Max Miller of NHL.com reports. The 30-year-old re-aggravated a lower-body injury during the morning skate. Marchment has been a great fit in Columbus since being acquired from the Seattle Kraken, logging seven points (five goals, two assists) in as many games. Fortunately for the Blue Jackets, Sean Monahan (undisclosed) will return to the lineup, helping to compensate for the loss of Marchment. It's a favorable fantasy matchup for Columbus' frontline, as San Jose allows the second-most goals in the league (3.54).

Sean Monahan Available Tuesday

Columbus Blue Jackets center Sean Monahan (undisclosed) will play in Tuesday's contest against the San Jose Sharks. He has missed four games due to an undisclosed injury. In his last appearance, Monahan produced two assists. However, it hasn't been a great campaign for the 31-year-old, as his impact on the offensive end has been limited to 19 points (five goals, 14 assists) in 37 games. Monahan is currently on an 11-game goalless streak, but he will have a good opportunity to end that drought on Tuesday when Columbus faces the NHL's second-weakest defense.

Jason Zucker Set to Return From 11-Game Absence

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (lower body) is expected to make his return from an 11-game absence on Tuesday against the Vancouver Canucks. The veteran has been out of commission for nearly a month due to a lower-body injury. At Monday's practice, Zucker joined Josh Norris and Alex Tuch on the second line and worked with the first power-play unit. Zucker has averaged nearly a point per game this season. In 21 outings, he has produced nine goals and nine assists. Half of his 18 points have come with the man advantage. On Tuesday night, Zucker is in a great position to find more success on the power-play, as Vancouver has the third-worst penalty-killing efficiency in the league (73.9 percent).

Matvei Michkov a Game-Time Call Tuesday

Philadelphia Flyers winger Matvei Michkov (foot) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's tilt against the Anaheim Ducks. His status is uncertain after he injured his foot in Saturday's win over the Edmonton Oilers. Michkov missed Monday's practice. Still, he appears to be trending toward playing, as Michkov took part in the team's optional morning skate. After a good rookie campaign, Michkov has taken a step back in 2025-26, recording 23 points (nine goals, 14 assists) in 40 games. He has managed just one goal since the start of December.

Matthew Schaefer Cleared for Action Tuesday

New York Islanders defenseman Matthew Schaefer (illness) will suit up on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. Initially, he was considered a game-time call after Schaefer had to skip Monday's practice due to illness. Schaefer has scored three goals over his last two appearances, reaching 28 points for the season. The 18-year-old sits third among rookies in scoring, posting 12 goals and 16 assists in 42 appearances. On Tuesday, Schaefer will attempt to post his first four-game point streak since beginning the campaign with a six-game run.

Adam Fox Landing Back on Long-Term Injured Reserve

New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox (lower body) will be placed on long-term Injured Reserve, Stephen Whyno of AP reports. Fox had just returned from an upper-body injury and is now dealing with a lower-body issue. He played all of regulation on Monday against the Utah Mammoth but didn't log a single shift in overtime. His placement on long-term Injured Reserve rules Fox out for at least 10 games. When in the lineup, Fox has been very impactful this season, posting 28 points (four goals, 24 assists) in 30 games with 45 blocks. Vladislav Gavrikov is expected to see increased power-play time while Fox is out.

Seth Jarvis Back for Hurricanes Tuesday

Carolina Hurricanes winger Seth Jarvis (upper body) will return from an eight-game absence on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. He will re-enter the lineup on the third line, skating with Jordan Martinook and Jordan Staal. Additionally, Jarvis will work on the first power-play unit. Getting Jarvis back is a big boost for the Hurricanes, as he leads the team with 19 goals. Across 34 outings, Jarvis has also contributed 10 assists. He makes his return in a favorable matchup against a team that allowed three-plus goals in seven of its last eight games.

Jake McCabe to Sit Out One Week

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe (lower body) will be sidelined for one week, head coach Craig Berube announced. The 32-year-old went down with a lower-body injury in Saturday's loss to the New York Islanders. After 41 games, McCabe leads Toronto with 104 blocks and has picked up 16 points (three goals, 13 assists). He has joined fellow blue-liners Brandon Carlo (foot) and Chris Tanev (groin) on the shelf. However, Carlo participated in Monday's practice and could be ready to fill in for McCabe on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers.

Hampus Lindholm to Miss Time

Boston Bruins defenseman Hampus Lindholm (undisclosed) is poised to miss some time, Conor Ryan of Boston.com reports. "It's not going to be a day-to-day thing," Bruins head coach Marco Strum said about Lindholm's injury. "Hopefully it's not too long, but he's definitely going to be out for a little bit. We'll have to do more testing when we're back in Boston so we can go from there." Lindholm has made 34 appearances during the campaign, recording 14 points (three goals, 11 assists), 60 shots, and 59 blocks. After missing five weeks, Henri Jokiharju (undisclosed) practiced fully on Monday and could step into Lindholm's spot in the lineup on Tuesday versus the Seattle Kraken.

Flyers Sign Christian Dvorak to Five-Year Extension

Philadelphia Flyers center Christian Dvorak has signed a five-year, $25.75 million contract extension. After picking Dvorak up as a free agent on a one-year deal in the summer, the team has moved quickly to lock him up long-term. Following a four-year stint in Montreal, a change of scenery has suited Dvorak superbly, as he is having a career year. Currently, he is on track for a 50-point campaign, sitting on nine goals and 18 assists after 39 outings. While Dvorak has made the score sheet just twice in his last seven appearances, it should only be a matter of time before he ends the slump, as the 29-year-old skates with Philadelphia's top scorers, Trevor Zegras and Travis Konecny.

Igor Shesterkin Exits With Lower-Body Injury Monday

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin (lower body) exited Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Utah Mammoth in the first period. The former Vezina Trophy winner couldn't carry on after being involved in a collision with Mammoth forward JJ Peterka. Shesterkin, who saved all nine shots he faced, was replaced in the crease by Jonathan Quick. While exiting the ice, he was unable to put weight on his left foot. Despite the Rangers' home struggles in 2025-26, Shesterkin maintains a solid 17-12-4 record. He has posted a 2.45 goals-against average, a .913 save percentage, and one shutout. Quick, who is 3-6-2 for the season, faces an increased workload if Shesterkin misses time.

Joel Armia Hurt in Monday's Win

Los Angeles Kings right wing Joel Armia (upper body) didn't complete Monday's 4-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild. The Finnish forward departed the game in the second period due to an upper-body injury. With Trevor Moore (illness) out, Armia has recently been on second-line duty. The Kings also lost Anze Kopitar (lower body) on Monday night, meaning further tweaks in the top six could be coming for Wednesday's matchup against the San Jose Sharks. Armia has totaled 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) in 41 games during his first season with the Kings.

Anze Kopitar Sustains Lower-Body Injury Monday

Los Angeles Kings center Anze Kopitar (lower body) exited Monday's 4-2 win over the Minnesota Wild after the first period. He logged 4:54 of action in the first frame and was ruled out for the rest of the game with a lower-body injury. The Kings captain missed time in October with a foot injury and may now have to sit out some action again. Kopitar, who has announced this is his final season in the NHL, is currently on track to match his lowest career scoring total of 42 points. In 37 appearances, he has managed 21 points (six goals, 15 assists). Alex Turcotte, who has recorded assists in back-to-back games, could land a top-six spot on Wednesday against the San Jose Sharks if Kopitar isn't ready to play.
