Perhaps more than any other team in the league this season, the Colorado Avalanche have been really battling the injury bug. While they have been getting some key players back in the lineup over the last couple weeks, they had another one go back on the injury list as winger Jonathan Drouin is week-to-week: https://twitter.com/jessemontano_/status/1861796250062143827 [...]
It was a busy day in Montreal news as winger Joshua Roy was recalled from the AHL. Despite making it to the NHL last season, he started the 2024-25 campaign in Laval with eight goals and eight assists in 16 games, averaging 3.4 shots per game. At practice on Monday, he was skating on Jake [...]
It has been a very tough go for Carolina goaltender Frederik Andersen over the last few years. There have been a slew of injuries, notably the blood clot that kept him out of action for most of the 2023-24 season. As for this season, it looks like he may be out at least until late [...]
Toronto hosted Vegas on Wednesday night, and the Maple Leafs were already without Auston Matthews, who has been out of action for over two weeks. The recent update on Matthews was that there’s a hope he can return to action sometime next week, but given that he’s been day-to-day for most of November already, we [...]
As of Tuesday, it has been over two weeks since Brayden Point was in the lineup for the Tampa Bay Lightning, and any injury lasting more than a week always raises some eyebrows. The Lightning, and fantasy managers, got some good news on Monday, though, as he was back at practice. He was skating on [...]
Buffalo had a thrilling game with Montreal on Monday afternoon resulting in 12 goals and multiple lead changes.

There was an update on Wednesday as to the status of all three [...]
The good news for Matvei Michkov fantasy owners is that he was back in the lineup on Monday as the Philadelphia Flyers hosted San Jose Sharks. The bad news is that he was skating on the second line with Ryan Poehling and Anthony Richard. Not that Flyers lines stay together for very long, but this [...]
Across Philadelphia’s first nine games, the only forward to have more ice time per game than Matvei Michkov was Travis Konecny. However, in his next four games, Michkov failed to reach 16 minutes in any of them, and averaged 14:41. This team is still coached by John Tortorella, so the writing was on the wall, [...]
It was October 28th when Edmonton’s Connor McDavid left a game early after jamming his foot into the boards. He escaped serious injury, but the timeline was 2-3 weeks before a return. We can throw that timeline out the window because just nine days later, McDavid returned to action on Wednesday night with the Oilers [...]
The injury to Mathew Barzal has put the New York Islanders in a tough spot. He is easily their best playmaker and despite his slow start (five points in 10 games), they need him if they want to consistently look dangerous offensively. In response to the injury, the Islanders changed their PP units on Sunday [...]
