NHL Player News

Dickinson aggravated his previous shoulder injury in Thursday's game against the Jets, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Dickinson has been dealing with this injury for a few weeks, and it cropped up again during Thursday's contest. The 30-year-old's status is questionable for Saturday versus the Oilers. If Dickinson is forced out of the lineup for a stretch, the Blackhawks could opt to put him on injured reserve to free up a roster spot.

Jarvis suffered an apparent lower-body injury Thursday versus the Islanders, and head coach Rod Brind'Amour was not optimistic about the forward's status after the game, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

The Hurricanes have already dealt with a number of injuries this season, but losing Jarvis for any length of time would be a massive blow to the team's structure. He has produced 11 points over 10 games, including four game-winning goals, and he plays in all situations. More information on Jarvis' status should be available prior to Saturday's game in Boston, but fantasy managers should start looking for fill-in options now, as it appears he'll miss some time.

Zegras had two goals and an assist in a 4-1 win over the Predators on Thursday.

One goal came on the power play. Zegras has started to warm up -- he's on a three-game, seven-point (four goals, three assists) scoring streak that includes two three-point efforts. He also has four goals, eight assists and 16 shots in 10 games this season. The Zegras resurrection may be in progress, but we'll temper expectations for a bit longer. However, he's had an encouraging start to the year.

Dickinson (undisclosed) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Jets.

It's not clear what caused Dickinson's exit from the game. The 30-year-old forward was dealing with an injury a few weeks ago, so it's possible he aggravated the issue, though his playing style does lead to some injury risk. The Blackhawks have five more games on the road during their current trip, which may necessitate a call-up if they're not comfortable inserting Sam Lafferty into the lineup.

Lindholm suffered a lower-body injury and won't return to Thursday's game against Buffalo.

Lindholm had a plus-1 rating in 9:37 of ice time before exiting Thursday's game. If he's not available for Saturday's tilt against Carolina, then Fraser Minten will likely shift into Boston's top six, and John Beecher might draw into the lineup.

Nyquist (undisclosed) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Blackhawks.

Nyquist had an assist in 1:28 of ice time during the contest. The exact nature of his injury remains unclear, leaving his status in doubt for Saturday's game versus the Penguins. If he misses time, Nikita Chibrikov or Brad Lambert are the healthy forwards available to take Nyquist's place in the lineup.

Couturier (undisclosed) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Predators.

Couturier sustained an injury in the first period, though he was able to play through it until the intermission. More information on his injury should be available prior to Saturday's game against the Maple Leafs.

Aman is no longer on the Canucks' NHL roster, indicating he was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Thursday, per the NHL media site.

Aman was swapped out for MacKenzie MacEachern. The 25-year-old Aman will need to get into one game for Abbotsford before he is eligible to be recalled, which would likely happen if the Canucks suffer any injuries to their current group of centers.

Barzal will not play Thursday versus the Hurricanes after being late to the morning skate, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Head coach Patrick Roy is holding Barzal accountable by sitting him out for one game. It's fully expected Barzal will be back for Friday's contest versus the Capitals. The Islanders will dress seven defensemen for Thursday's game since Calum Ritchie wasn't able to get to Carolina in time to play.

Sissons won't play Friday versus Colorado, per Hannah Kirkell of Vegas Hockey Now on Thursday.

Sissons has one assist, 13 PIM and 11 hits in nine outings this year. He's still regarded as day-to-day, so Sissons might be an option for Tuesday's tilt against Detroit. Sissons will probably serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's healthy.
