Benoit (upper body) won't play versus the Golden Knights on Thursday.

Benoit was listed as out of the lineup, but the injury was only revealed just before puck drop. The 27-year-old defenseman hasn't missed a game due to an injury yet this season, though he has been out for five contests (three scratches, one personal, one illness). Philippe Myers will draw in on the third pairing Thursday to cover Benoit's absence.

Peeke (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Kraken.

Peeke must have been injured in the first period, as he didn't come out for the second. If the blueliner misses time, Vladislav Kolyachonok would likely take over his spot on the third pairing. The Bruins' next game is Saturday in Chicago.

Parekh (upper body) will miss Thursday's game against Chicago, per the NHL media site.

Parekh is believed to have sustained the injury while playing for Team Canada during the World Junior Championship. He has an assist in 11 outings with Calgary in 2025-26. He also contributed five goals and 13 points in seven appearances with Canada during the tournament. His next opportunity to return is Saturday versus the Islanders.

Ristolainen (upper body) will remain out Thursday versus Pittsburgh, per Flyers Director of Broadcasting Brian Smith.

Ristolainen also missed Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Buffalo. He has three assists in 13 outings in 2025-26. Noah Juulsen is projected to stay in the lineup, but Juulsen might be a healthy scratch once Ristolainen is ready to play.

Mateychuk is slated to miss Thursday's game versus the Canucks, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Mateychuk's second evaluation results haven't been revealed, but it looks like he'll need to miss a second contest. The Blue Jackets will get a boost on defense with the return of Erik Gudbranson (hip) and Damon Severson (illness). Once cleared to play, Mateychuk will have a little more competition for top-four minutes.

Montour (hand) was taken off injured reserve, per Sound of Hockey, which indicates that he'll play Thursday in Boston.

Montour hasn't been in the lineup since Dec. 16 due to the injury. He has six goals, 16 points, 21 PIM, 34 hits and 35 blocks in 27 appearances in 2025-26. Now that Montour is healthy, he'll probably serve in a top-four capacity, while Cale Fleury might be a healthy scratch against the Bruins.

Lambos was recalled from AHL Iowa on Thursday.

Jonas Brodin (lower body) was put on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Lambos has three goals, eight points and 28 PIM in 34 appearances with Iowa in 2025-26. He made his NHL debut with Minnesota on Dec. 18, recording one shot and one block in 10:16 of ice time, but he hasn't played at the top level since.

Brodin (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

The Wild announced earlier Thursday that Brodin is considered week-to-week, so his placement on injured reserve isn't particularly surprising. Head coach John Hynes said Thursday that he isn't sure whether Brodin's injury will impact his status for the Olympics in February, so whether the defenseman will be back in action before next month remains to be seen. Carson Lambos was recalled by the Wild in a corresponding move to provide additional depth in Brodin's absence.

Heiskanen (personal) will not be in the lineup Thursday in Utah, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

Heiskanen will miss his second consecutive game. He had not tallied a point in his previous four games, tied for his longest drought so far this season. Heiskanen has seven goals and 29 assists in 46 games this year, including one goal and 13 assists on the power play.

Broberg (concussion) could still be cleared in time for Friday's clash with the Lightning, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

According to head coach Jim Montgomery, Broberg still needs to clear some medical hurdles before he can play but hasn't been ruled out versus Tampa Bay. While the defenseman is currently stuck in a 27-game goal drought, he has managed eight helpers over that stretch while making 44 blocks.
