  • Oilers' Tristan Jarry: Set to start Saturday

    Jarry will start Saturday's road game against San Jose, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.

    Jarry and Devon Levi have shared time in the crease to begin the year, and that trend will continue during the Oilers' second week of regular-season play. Levi will draw a third consecutive start Wednesday in Anaheim, while Jarry will make his second start of the year Saturday. Jarry wasn't particularly sharp during his Opening Night start, as he allowed six goals on 23 shots (.739 save percentage) in a 6-5 overtime loss to the Canucks at home.

  • Blackhawks' Andrew Mangiapane: Deemed week-to-week

    Mangiapane (lower body) is week-to-week, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times on Monday.

    Mangiapane has already missed the last two games after getting hurt in Chicago's 5-2 loss to Vegas last Tuesday. It's unclear when he will be ready to return. Mangiapane registered eight goals, 16 points, 58 shots on net and 65 hits in 62 regular-season appearances between the Blackhawks and Oilers in 2025-26.

  • Andrew Peeke D | UTA

    Mammoth's Andrew Peeke: Pots first goal for new team

    Peeke scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.

    Peeke has collected two points, five shots, four hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over three contests this season. He's filling a third-pairing role and also working on the penalty kill, as expected. Peeke has logged at least 10 points in each of the last five years but has never reached 20, and his spot in the lineup may not be secure if the Mammoth want to give Nick DeSimone a look.

  • Rangers' Joe Veleno: Won't play Tuesday

    Veleno (lower body) won't be in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the Islanders, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.

    Veleno sustained the injury in Sunday's 4-2 win over Utah. He didn't participate in Monday's practice and will miss at least one game. Veleno has gone without a point in four games this season, but he has posted two shots on net, five blocked shots and seven hits.

  • Gabe Perreault RW | NYR

    Rangers' Gabe Perreault: Tallies in Sunday's win

    Perreault scored a goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth.

    Perreault's tally sparked a three-goal third period for the Rangers in the win. The 21-year-old is handling top-line responsibilities well so far with two goals, one assist, four shots, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over four contests. Perreault also features on the second power-play unit. The young winger was steady with 27 points in 49 outings in 2025-26, and he's poised for a bigger breakout as a full-time NHL player this year.

  • Blue Jackets' Damon Severson: Expected back Friday

    Severson (shoulder) is trending toward a return to the lineup against the Penguins on Friday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

    Severson still needs to be activated off non-roster injured reserve, but all signs point to him being ready to play Friday. In 71 regular-season games last year, the 32-year-old blueliner notched eight goals and 24 assists, but that included just four power-play points.

  • Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Starting against Dallas

    Askarov was the first goalie off the ice during Monday's morning skate, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Dallas.

    Askarov has picked up overtime wins in each of his first two starts of the 2026-27 regular season, posting a 3.31 GAA and .885 save percentage during home outings against the Panthers and Kings. He'll remain in the crease as the Sharks head on the road for the first time this season and will attempt to maintain his winning streak.

  • Connor Brown RW | NJ

    Devils' Connor Brown: Set to miss at least one week

    Brown (lower body) won't play against Utah on Tuesday and Vancouver on Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

    Brown has already missed the first two games of the 2026-27 campaign. He has been skating on his own, but it's unclear when he will be ready to return. Brown earned 18 goals, 43 points and 116 shots on net in 75 appearances for New Jersey during the 2025-26 regular season.

  • Rangers' Matthew Robertson: Held out Monday

    Robertson was being held out of practice Monday for "roster management reasons," Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.

    Robertson could land on the waiver wire later Monday, or there could be a trade in the works, but either way, the 25-year-old defenseman looks unlikely to play against the Islanders on Tuesday. With the emergence of Alberts Smits, the 25-year-old Robertson has yet to get into a game for the Rangers this season and has become an expendable piece of the roster.

  • Matt Roy D | WAS

    Capitals' Matt Roy: Considered day-to-day

    Roy (lower body) is day-to-day, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News on Monday.

    Roy didn't participate in Monday's practice after getting hurt in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay. If the 31-year-old Roy isn't available for Wednesday's home opener against Pittsburgh, Dylan McIlrath will probably make his 2026-27 debut.
