Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! Regardless of which, if any, holiday is celebrated, I hope everyone can find some downtime to relax with family and friends. The NHL is on its holiday break, so I thought I would take today to do something a little more fun. Let’s go around the league and do a Christmas [...]
Columbus forward Yegor Chinakhov has missed three weeks with an upper-body injury. It is unfortunate for him, but also because Kent Johnson has missed 14 games and Dmitri Voronkov has missed nine. In fact, the team has only had those three, and Kirill Marchenko, in the lineup for 3/32 games this season. It is a [...]
Between the Rangers losing 11 out of their last 14 games, Jacob Trouba being traded, management making it clear that New York was open for business, and Kaapo Kakko’s comments critical of the way the coaching staff was handling healthy scratches, it was clear there was another shoe to drop on the trade front. That [...]
Edmonton winger Viktor Arvidsson was at the team’s morning skate before the game Monday night at home against Florida. Arvidsson has been out over a month with an undisclosed injury, though he seems to be on the mend. Edmonton has three games later this week, including a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday. We will see [...]
There was a bevy of crucial injury updates that came down on Thursday so let’s start with those. The Anaheim Ducks announced that forward Trevor Zegras will miss at least six weeks after surgery to repair a torn meniscus. When the injury first happened, it certainly seemed as if things would be a lot worse [...]
Rasmus Dahlin suffered an injury in training camp, missed some time, but was back in the lineup when Buffalo played their games in Europe. He managed to play every game right up until December 3rd, but the game on Wednesday night was his fourth straight out of action. It always gets a bit nerve-wracking when [...]
The Vancouver Canucks have been on a nice little run of late, going 5-3-1 in their last nine games and that has been good enough to push them into third place in the Pacific. All those games have been without centre JT Miller as he’s been on a leave of absence from the team. The [...]
The Dallas Stars went into Wednesday night with a 16-8 record, so it has been a great start. However, it seems as if they need another top-6 winger to round out their top-9 forwards, and now may need two such wingers. The team announced on Wednesday that forward Tyler Seguin will likely miss the rest [...]
Detroit goaltender Cam Talbot was injured on Sunday, and he had been having an excellent season for the Red Wings. This may have implications for the Four Nations Cup – more on that later – but it clearly has implications for Detroit. As a result of the injury, and the one to Alex Lyon, the [...]
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 [...]
