Here's the latest injury news from across the NHL! Keep in mind that with the regular season winding down, some teams may rest their players in preparation for the playoffs. 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.

Kyle Okposo – Tweaked his ankle during Monday's practice, so his status for the final two games of the year is currently up in the air. After three-straight seasons of pacing for 30 points, Okposo is having a bounce-back campaign this year, scoring at a 50-point pace.

Craig Anderson – Was recently labelled day-to-day due to minor soreness. He hasn't been ruled out of the team's last two games just yet.

Jesperi Kotkaniemi – Has been skating recently but there's no concrete timetable for his return to the lineup. He's now missed five games after re-aggravating the same lower-body injury that was responsible for a previous eight-game absence.

Frederik Andersen – Is currently sidelined with a leg injury and should be evaluated again this week. Coach Rod Brind'Amour is hoping for an official update at some point on Wednesday, but early reports indicate that Andersen should be ready for the playoffs. 

Kirby Dach – It sounds like a shoulder sprain will keep him sidelined for Chicago's last two games of the regular season.  

Connor Murphy – Has been sidelined with a concussion for the past month but recently started skating with the team again. Despite the encouraging step forward, he isn't expected to play in Chicago's final two games of the season.

Mikko Rantanen – Had missed some time with a non-COVID illness but was back skating on Tuesday. He's expected to return to the lineup for Thursday's game against Nashville.

Gabriel Landeskog – Is expected to be back for game one of the playoffs, but is unlikely to return before then. Landeskog recently started skating again and is working his way back from knee surgery, which he had in mid-March.

Adam Boqvist – Has been sidelined for the team's past three games, due to a lower-body injury suffered in practice. No word yet on his availability for Columbus' last two games of the regular season. 

Boone Jenner – Columbus' captain won't be available for the team's final two games. He's been sidelined with a back injury since March 11^th. Thanks to an expanded role, Jenner managed a career-best 61-point pace this year.

Sean Kuraly – A broken toe will keep Kuraly sidelined for Columbus' final two games of the 2021-2022 campaign.

Patrik Laine – I haven't seen any substantial updates recently, but Laine has missed Columbus' past five games with an upper-body injury. His status for the team's final two games of the season – scheduled for Thursday and Friday – remains up in the air as I write this.

Darnell Nurse – Isn't expected to play in Edmonton's final two regular season games, but the Oilers are hopeful he'll be ready for their first game of the playoffs. He's dealing with a lower-body injury that's been described as "nothing major".

Jesse Puljujarvi – Was sidelined with a non-COVID illness but has been skating recently and there's a good chance he returns to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Sharks.

Jared Spurgeon – Is dealing with an upper-body injury and there's no concrete timetable for his return. Fortunately, the injury isn't as serious as the team initially feared, and they're encouraged by how Spurgeon's been feeling recently.

Matt Dumba – Coach Dean Evason expects Dumba to play in at least one of the team's final two regular season games. That means Dumba should make his return against the Flames on Thursday, or against the Avalanche on Friday. He's been sidelined for the past three weeks with what's believed to be a shoulder injury.

Mats Zuccarello – A lower-body injury kept him out of the team's past two games, but he's expected to play in at least one of Minnesota's final two regular season contests. Zuccarello has had a career-best campaign this year, tallying 79 points through 70 games.

Carey Price – On Wednesday, Price has an appointment with the same doctor who performed surgery on his knee last July. As such, he won't be available for Wednesday's game against the Rangers. Price's status for Friday's season finale against Florida will depend on how Wednesday's doctor's appointment goes.

Juuse Saros – Left Tuesday's game against the Flames with what looked like a lower-body injury. Coach John Hynes didn't have an update on his netminder after the game, saying that Saros was being evaluated, and more information would likely become available on Wednesday.

P.K. Subban – Missed Tuesday's game against Ottawa due to the flu, which has reportedly affected a few players on the team.

Nico Hischier – Hasn't been available recently because of a non-COVID illness. Hischier has quietly put together a breakout season, amassing 59 points in 69 games – which translates to 70 points over 82 games. 

Brock Nelson – Missed Tuesday's game against Washington due to a non-COVID illness.

Anthony Beauvillier – Is officially day-to-day with an upper-body injury, which has now caused him to miss four games. His status for New York's final two games of the regular season remains up in the air as I write this.

Kaapo Kakko – Will return to the lineup for Wednesday's clash with the Canadiens. The young forward has been sidelined with a lower-body injury since April 16^th.

Andrew Copp – Left Tuesday's game against the Hurricanes with a lower-body injury. After the game, coach Gerard Gallant said Copp was kept out for precautionary reasons and could have returned to the game had the stakes been higher. With the Rangers' playoff spot secured, don't be surprised if he sits out of the team's final regular season games. He won't play against the Canadiens on Wednesday.

Artemi Panarin – Left Tuesday's game against Carolina with an upper-body injury. According to coach Gerard Gallant, Panarin's injury isn't serious and the superstar winger was only sidelined out of caution. With New York's playoff position secured, don't be surprised if Panarin doesn't play in these last two games of the regular season. He won't play against the Habs on Wednesday.

Connor Brown – Is unlikely to play again this season because of a lower-body injury, which he's been battling through for the past six weeks.

Mathieu Joseph – An upper-body injury will prevent Joseph from playing in Ottawa's final two games of the regular season. He should fully recover shortly after the season ends.

Matt Murray – Injuries to his neck and upper-body will prevent Murray from suiting up for Ottawa's last two regular season games. He hasn't played since March 5^th. Murray finishes the year with an underwhelming 3.05 GAA and .906 save percentage through 20 appearances.

Rasmus Ristolainen – Due to an upper-body injury, Ristolainen Isn't expected to play in Philadelphia's final two games of the regular season.

Cam Atkinson – It sounds like a lower-body injury – which has kept him sidelined for the past two weeks – will prevent Atkinson from playing in Philly's final two regular season games. In his first year with the Flyers, Atkinson managed 50 points in 73 appearances.

Tristan Jarry – Hasn't been skating recently, so I feel like the Penguins might have to start the playoffs without their top netminder. Jarry is still week-to-week with a broken foot.

Erik Karlsson – Hasn't been skating recently and with just two games left in the Sharks' schedule, it's unlikely he plays again this year. The 31-year-old defenseman has missed San Jose's last six games with a lower-body injury and is officially day-to-day.

Vince Dunn – Wasn't on the ice for Monday's practice and is officially day-to-day after taking a high stick during Saturday's game in Dallas.

Jaden Schwartz – Isn't expected to play in Seattle's final three games of the regular season. Schwartz has been sidelined with an upper-body injury for the past month.

Brayden Schenn – Has been sidelined with an upper-body injury recently, but is expected to return to the lineup for Friday's game against the Golden Knights.

Michael Bunting – Has been skating recently and it sounds like he's progressing well, but he won't be available for Toronto's regular season finale on Friday. He'll be re-evaluated ahead of the playoffs.

Petr Mrazek – Has been skating recently is making good progress in his return from a groin injury – which has kept him out since late-March. The injury came with a minimum absence of six weeks, so it'll probably be another couple of weeks before Mrazek is available.

Ondrej Kase – On Tuesday, Kase skated with the team for the first time since sustaining a concussion on March 19^th, when he took an elbow to the head. Although this is an encouraging step in the right direction, there's still no concrete timetable for his return.

Rasmus Sandin – Participated in Tuesday's morning skate; the next step will be for him to take part in a full-contact practice. He's working his way back from a knee injury, which has kept him sidelined since March 19^th.

Thatcher Demko – Is officially day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, but it sounds like there's a good chance he's done for the season.

Jaroslav Halak – An upper-body injury will prevent the Canucks backup netminder from suiting up in the team's final two games of the regular season.

Bo Horvat – No recent updates on his status, but last we heard (April 19^th), his foot was in a bad state. With the Canucks officially eliminated from the playoffs, I wouldn't expect Horvat to be back for the team's final two games.

Tanner Pearson – Has missed Vancouver's last eight games with an upper-body injury. When Vancouver was still in the playoff race, reports indicated that Pearson could return for the team's regular season finale on Friday. Now that the Canucks have been eliminated, there isn't a reason to rush Pearson back into the lineup. 

Robin Lehner – Will be sidelined for the rest of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery. He sustained the injury on February 9^th and had done his best to battle through it, but the team ultimately decided that surgery was the best course of action.

Alex Ovechkin – Missed Tuesday' game against the Islanders and is officially day-to-day with an upper-body injury. When asked about Ovechkin's availability for Game 1 of the playoffs, coach Peter Laviolette said he didn't know, and that it would depend on how things progress.

Nate Schmidt – Is expected to play against the Flyers on Friday.

Mark Scheifele – Is not expected to play another game this season because of a shoulder injury, which has kept him out since April 10^th.
