NHL Player News

Andrae was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Andrae has collected five assists in six minor-league outings this season. During his lone NHL appearance this year, he posted one shot on goal and logged 10:22 of ice time in a 5-2 win over Florida on Oct. 13. Andrae will be an option for Tuesday's game against Pittsburgh, but it's unclear if he will be in the lineup.

Pesce (upper body) is expected to be out for at least a month, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Tuesday.

Pesce sustained the injury in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over Colorado. He has contributed three assists, eight shots on goal, 24 blocked shots and four hits in nine appearances this season. With Pesce unavailable, Simon Nemec should see an increased role, while Seamus Casey will be in the lineup against the Avalanche on Tuesday.

Hughes (lower body) will remain sidelined for Tuesday's home matchup against the Rangers, per Canucks Army.

Hughes will miss another game after sitting out his first of the season Sunday versus the Oilers. The severity of the 26-year-old blueliner's injury is unknown, but his next chance to return to the lineup will come Thursday in St. Louis. Marcus Pettersson will continue to skate next to Filip Hronek on the No. 1 pairing in Hughes' stead.

Gudas (lower body) is not expected to be available for Tuesday's road matchup versus the Panthers, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Gudas will likely miss his second game of the season after sitting out Saturday's loss to the Lightning. Ian Moore will remain in a third-pairing role until Gudas is ready to return to the lineup. The 35-year-old's next chance to draw into the lineup will be Friday against Detroit.

Gostisbehere (lower body) has been removed from injured reserve ahead of Tuesday's clash with Vegas, per the NHL media site.

Gostisbehere will not only resume his partnership with Jalen Chatfield, but the former also should be back on the No. 1 power-play unit. In his five games this year, the 32-year-old defenseman has managed one goal, six assists and six shots, including one power-play helper.

Raddysh stayed back in Tampa Bay for the birth of his child and will miss Tuesday's matchup with Nashville, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Raddysh figures to be back in the lineup when the Bolts return home to face the Stars on Thursday, though that hasn't been officially confirmed. The team went with seven blueliners in their most recent contests, but without Raddysh available, the Lightning will likely reinsert forward Curtis Douglas into the lineup.

Leddy (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

The Sharks recalled Patrick Giles from AHL San Jose in a corresponding move. Leddy will miss his third straight game against the Kings on Tuesday, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to action. He has posted two assists, one shot on goal, 10 blocked shots and two hits across seven appearances this season.

Willander was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Tuesday.

The Canucks are dealing with multiple injuries on the blue line, so Willander might draw into the lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers if Quinn Hughes (lower body) is unable to suit up. The 20-year-old Willander has yet to make his NHL debut, so he'd likely receive sheltered minutes on the third pairing if he's forced into action in the near future.

Forbort (undisclosed) was placed on long-term injured reserve Tuesday.

In corresponding moves, the Canucks put Victor Mancini (upper body) on injured reserve and recalled Tom Willander from AHL Abbotsford. Forbort has already missed the last eight games. He will be eligible to play against Chicago on Nov. 5, but it's unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup.

Mancini (upper body) has been placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Mancini was injured during Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over Edmonton, and he'll now miss at least the next three games. His placement on IR is retroactive to Oct. 26, so he'll be eligible to return to the lineup in Nashville on Monday. If Quinn Hughes (lower body) is unable to play against the Rangers on Tuesday, Tom Willander, who was recalled from AHL Abbotsford, will be an option to draw into the lineup, likely in a third-pairing capacity.
