Oliver Moore C | CHI
Blackhawks' Oliver Moore: Set for extended absence
Head coach Jeff Blashill said Monday that Moore will miss a significant amount of time due to a lower-body injury, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.
Moore sustained the injury Sunday in Dallas. The full extent of Moore's injury has not been revealed, but there is a possibility the 21-year-old gets shut down for the rest of the season at some point in the near future, depending on how his recovery goes. Moore will probably land on injured reserve as well, with a forward being recalled from AHL Rockford in a corresponding move -- the Blackhawks currently have only 12 healthy forwards on their roster.

Canucks' Evander Kane: Dealing with UBI
Head coach Adam Foote said after Monday's 2-0 loss to Ottawa that Kane is contending with an upper-body injury, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Kane sat out Monday's loss due to his upper-body injury. It currently remains to be seen if the veteran winger will be an option for Thursday's home game versus Nashville. The 34-year-old has accounted for 11 goals, 27 points, 78 PIM, 146 shots, 102 hits and a minus-18 rating over 61 appearances in 2025-26.

Jack St. Ivany D | PIT
Penguins' Jack St. Ivany: Taken off IR
St. Ivany (hand) was removed from injured reserve Monday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.
Per the NHL media site, St. Ivany is no longer listed on the Penguins' IR list. The move comes just hours after he was designated for a conditioning loan with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. While it's unclear when his assignment in the minors is expected to conclude, he likely won't return to the Penguins' lineup until he's healthy and has a few more games at the AHL level under his belt.

Evander Kane LW | VAN
Canucks' Evander Kane: Sidelined for Monday's tilt
Kane (upper body) will miss Monday's game against the Senators, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
After missing Monday's morning skate, Kane didn't join the Canucks on the ice for warmups and will miss his second game across Vancouver's last four matchups. In his absence, Max Sasson will take his place on the third line. If he can practice over the coming days, Kane's next chance to return to action is Thursday against the Predators.

Brock Boeser RW | VAN
Canucks' Brock Boeser: Playing against Ottawa
Boeser (undisclosed) will suit up for Monday's home matchup versus the Senators, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Boeser left Monday's morning skate early, which put some doubt into his availability for this game against Ottawa. The right-shot winger will avoid missing his eighth game of the season, and he will skate on the second line with Liam Ohgren and Marco Rossi.

Maksymilian Szuber D | UTA
Mammoth's Maksymilian Szuber: Called up to majors
Szuber was recalled from AHL Tucson on Monday.
With Szuber set to join the Mammoth, his call-up indicates that Mikhail Sergachev (lower body) isn't ready to return to the lineup. Szuber has been a steady contributor in the AHL this season with 10 goals, 15 assists and 78 shots on net across 50 games this season. The move gives him his first chance to suit up in Utah after playing one NHL game when the franchise was in Arizona during the 2023-24 season.

Mikhail Sergachev D | UTA
Mammoth's Mikhail Sergachev: Still out Monday
Sergachev (lower body) is not available for Monday's game in Chicago, according to the NHL media site.
Sergachev is set to miss his third consecutive game. Monday's matchup is the first half of a back-to-back for the Mammoth, so the team is seemingly being very cautious with Sergachev, who was a late scratch for Saturday's contest in Columbus. Utah promoted Maksymilian Szuber from the minors prior to Monday's game to provide depth on the blue line.

Erik Gudbranson D | CLB
Blue Jackets' Erik Gudbranson: Won't travel on road trip
Gudbranson (upper body) will not travel with the Blue Jackets for their upcoming three-game road trip, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Monday.
Gudbranson sustained his upper-body injury during Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings. The Blue Jackets open their road trip Tuesday in Tampa Bay and close it out Saturday in Philadelphia, so the earliest Gudbranson can return to the lineup is March 17 for a home divisional matchup against the Hurricanes. Egor Zamula and Jake Christiansen will compete for a spot on the third pairing while Gudbranson is sidelined, but Zamula might have the inside track to play more regularly during that time.

David Kampf C | WAS
Capitals' David Kampf: Out for Monday's game
Kampf (not injury related) will not play in Monday's home game against the Kings, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
After being traded to the Capitals from the Canucks on Friday, he is actively dealing with the immigration process from Canada and will miss a second contest. He'll likely need to join the team for practice before Wednesday's road game in Philadelphia if he's to make his team debut without missing any more time.

Travis Konecny RW | PHI
Flyers' Travis Konecny: Set to play Monday
Konecny (upper body) will play in Monday's home clash against the Rangers, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.
Konecny was present during the team's warmups and ultimately joined the team for line rushes, indicating he's ready to go. He'll play alongside Christian Dvorak and Alex Bump on Philadelphia's second line after missing each of the team's last three games. Konecny will look to pick up where he left off, as he posted three points over his last two games prior to the injury.
