Here's the latest injury news from across the NHL! If you're looking for information about a specific player and don't see their name in this article, there probably haven't been any significant updates about their progress since our last article. If you ever need injury updates for a specific player, shoot me a message on Twitter @BrennanDeSouza.

Rickard Rakell – An upper-body injury has kept Rakell out of the lineup for Anaheim's last two games. Some might say the Ducks are protecting a valuable asset as the trade deadline approaches.

Ryan Getzlaf – Is currently on Injured Reserve with a lower-body injury, but has been skating recently.  

Jakob Chychrun – The Coyotes defenseman will be sidelined for two to four weeks with a lower-body injury. He was rumoured to be on the move with the trade deadline approaching, but this injury could lower the chances of him getting traded this season.  

Oliver Kylington – The Flames defenseman is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Connor Mackey had been called up from Calgary's AHL affiliate while Kylington was sidelined but Mackey was just sent back down to the AHL on Tuesday. That could be a good sign for Kylington's availability against the Devils on Wednesday.

Seth Jarvis – Has been dealing with a bit of a hip injury lately but participated in Tuesday's limited practice. As I write this, Jarvis hasn't been ruled out of Thursday's clash with the Leafs.

Tony DeAngelo – The Hurricanes defenseman participated in a limited practice on Tuesday. On February 24th, we learned that DeAngelo would miss about a month with a midsection injury, so he could be back in another week or so.

Gabriel Landeskog – Colorado's captain had knee surgery on Monday, repairing an injury that had been bothering him for a while, which had gotten worse recently. The team hopes to have him back in time for the playoffs, but we should learn more about a possible timeline now that he's actually had the procedure. 

Samuel Girard – The Avalanche defenseman will be sidelined for about four weeks due to a lingering back injury.

Bowen Byram – Has been practicing with the team recently but hasn't been taking contact as he works his way back from a concussion. Byram didn't travel with the team to California, so he won't play against the Sharks on Friday.

Boone Jenner – Had been playing through a back injury for the past few weeks and it recently reached a point where he couldn't play through it anymore. He's officially out week-to-week. With 23 goals and 21 assists through 59 games, Jenner is having a career season thanks to an expanded role under coach Brad Larsen.

Jakub Voracek – Although he was on the receiving end of a dangerous knee-on-knee hit during Friday's game against the Wild, Voracek is expected to play against the Sens on Wednesday, after sitting out for just one game!

Adam Boqvist – An upper-body injury has kept the Blue Jackets defenseman sidelined for over two weeks now. He's participated in recent practices and hasn't yet been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Senators.

Braden Holtby – Hasn't been available recently due to minor lower-body issues. He was on the ice for Tuesday's morning skate, although he didn't suit up for Tuesday night's game against the Leafs. I guess we consider him day-to-day until we hear otherwise.

Miro Heiskanen – The Stars defenseman was diagnosed with mononucleosis ('mono') on Thursday and will be sidelined indefinitely. Fatigue is a common symptom of mono, so it may take Heiskanen some time to get back into game-shape after he recovers from the virus.

Robby Fabbri – The Red Wings forward will be sidelined for the rest of the season due to a torn ACL.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins – Has been skating on his own recently and coach Jay Woodcroft is hopeful Nugent-Hopkins will be able to join the team for practice next week. He's been sidelined since February 26^th due to a shoulder injury.

Jesse Puljujarvi – Has been skating with the team recently and could be an option for Thursday's game against the Sabres. On February 18^th, the team announced that Puljujarvi would be sidelined for four weeks with a lower-body injury. That timetable has just about run its course, so he should be back very soon.

Anton Lundell – The rookie remains day-to-day with a lower-body injury (no structural damage). Lundell didn't travel with the team as they began a seven-game road trip on Sunday, but the hope is he's able to join the Panthers at some point on this trip.

Dustin Brown – On March 13^th, Todd McLellan revealed that an upper-body injury would keep Brown sidelined for an extended period.

Matt Roy – Sustained a lower-body injury during Saturday's game against the Sharks and there's no timetable for his return.

Drew Doughty – The Kings defenseman is on Injured Reserve with an undisclosed ailment. He's officially day-to-day but is eligible to return as soon as he's healthy, since he's already fulfilled the week-long absence that comes with being placed on IR.

Josh Anderson – Missed Tuesday's clash with the Coyotes due to a lower-body injury. I'd consider him day-to-day until we hear otherwise.

Andrew Hammond – The Canadiens netminder is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.  

Christian Dvorak – Was recently cleared for contact and participated fully in Tuesday's morning skate. Dvorak has been day-to-day with an upper-body injury for some time now, but the fact that he's cleared for contact suggests he's nearing a return.

Jonathan Drouin – Was recently cleared for contact and participated fully in Tuesday's morning skate. In late January, the team announced that Drouin would be sidelined indefinitely with a wrist injury. There's no concrete timetable for his return but the fact that he's practicing with contact is certainly a good sign.

Jake Allen – Has participated in practice frequently over the past couple weeks and there's a fair chance he returns to the lineup on Thursday against the Stars. On January 21^st, the team announced Allen would miss eight weeks with a lower-body injury. That timetable has just about run its course!

Carey Price – Continues to skate and make progress but there's no concrete timetable for his return to practice. He's been on the ice recently, facing shots and making strong lateral movements. It's a delicate situation because he's been sidelined for so long and is still working his way back from a setback in his recovery, but he's been ramping up the workload lately and a return this season remains a possibility.

Mark Borowiecki – The 32-year-old defenseman remains day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

Kaapo Kakko – When asked about Kakko on March 14^th, coach Gerard Gallant said it would be at least a week before the young forward gets back on the ice.

Matt Murray – The Senators netminder is dealing with a neck injury and isn't expected to return any time soon.  

Drake Batherson – Has been participating in practice recently. Batherson has been feeling good during his skates and is targeting March 26^th against the Panthers as a potential return date. He's been sidelined with a high-ankle sprain since late-January.

Scott Laughton – Sustained a concussion during Thursday's game against the Panthers and there's currently no timetable for his return.

Adin Hill – After being sidelined for over a month, Hill returned to the lineup on Saturday and shut out the Kings. Unfortunately, he re-aggravated the lower-body injury which kept him sidelined previously and is now day-to-day.  

Alexander Wennberg – Missed Saturday's game against the Canadiens because of an upper-body injury.

Robert Thomas – Has been sidelined with a non-COVID illness recently and didn't participate in Tuesday's practice. Thomas hasn't been ruled out of Thursday's clash with the Penguins, but let's see if he practices on Wednesday.

Pavel Buchnevich – Was back on the ice for Tuesday's practice, having missed the past few games while in concussion protocol. Buchnevich wasn't taking any contact during practice, so I don't expect he'll be ready to play against the Penguins on Thursday.

Jack Campbell – On March 10^th, the Leafs announced that Campbell would be sidelined for at least two weeks because of a rib injury. Erik Kallgren shut out the Stars in his first start Tuesday night and could see a fair bit of action while Campbell is out – especially given Petr Mrazek's struggles this season.

Jake Muzzin – Skated with his teammates on Tuesday, for the first time since sustaining a concussion in late-February. Muzzin is recovering from his second concussion of the season, so the team is likely to be cautious with his recovery.

Elias Pettersson – Is officially day-to-day with an upper-body injury and the hope is he'll be able to play against the Red Wings on Thursday.

Max Pacioretty – Left Friday's game against the Penguins due to an undisclosed issue and has been sidelined since. There really isn't much information available regarding his status, but I don't think he's been skating recently. 

Robin Lehner – A lower-body injury forced Lehner toreturn home amidst the Golden Knights' five-game road trip – which ended in Winnipeg on Tuesday. Reports indicate Lehner is dealing with an injury that's "serious enough to require crutches". With that being said, when he was sidelined with an upper-body injury previously, Lehner shot down reports that he had been dealing with a torn labrum in his shoulder, so it's probably best to wait until we get an official update from the team.  

Reilly Smith – Is dealing with a knee injury, which sent him back home to Vegas while the team was on the road. Now that the Golden Knights are returning home from that five-game (winless) road trip, we should hopefully get some more substantial updates on their injured players (i.e., Brayden McNabb, Alec Martinez, Max Pacioretty, etc.)

Lars Eller – Entered COVID-protocol on Monday after he tested positive for the coronavirus during routine cross-border testing (following the Capitals' road trip through western Canada). As I write this, there's no word on how long Eller will have to isolate in Vancouver before he can enter the United States.

Andrew Copp – Left Sunday's game against the Blues after taking a hit to the head. Recovering from a head injury is an unpredictable process because progress is rarely linear. As I write this, there's no concrete timetable for Copp's return and he continues to be evaluated.
