Oilers' Adam Henrique: Won't play Sunday
Henrique (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Golden Knights, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
Henrique was considered a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup, and he'll officially be forced to miss at least one contest after suffering a knee injury while blocking a shot against the Hurricanes on Friday. Josh Samanski will presumably enter the lineup against Vegas, while Henrique's next opportunity to play will be Tuesday against Colorado.

Blackhawks' Oliver Moore: Ruled out for Monday's game
Moore (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Monday's home matchup against the Mammoth, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
Moore did not return to Sunday's game in Dallas after colliding into the end boards with Colin Blackwell. Head coach Jeff Blashill did not have an update on Moore's status other than to say that the 21-year-old will not be an option for Monday's contest. Chicago will face Utah again on the road Thursday, so more information on Moore's health should be available before then.

Hurricanes' Ryan Suzuki: Three assists in AHL loss
Suzuki logged three assists in AHL Chicago's 7-6 loss to Texas on Sunday.

He's added a plus-18 rating, as the Wolves are having one of their better seasons with a hearty crop of prospects biding their time for a call-up to the Hurricanes.

The 24-year-old forward could be a call-up candidate for late in the season, but that's far from guaranteed to happen, as the Flyers have other prospects to get a look at.
