Iorio was placed on waivers by the Rangers on Tuesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Iorio was placed on injured reserve by the Rangers on Monday before he ultimately ended up on waivers Tuesday. The 23-year-old blueliner had a shot to make the NHL roster after appearing in six regular-season games for the Rangers in 2025-26. If he clears waivers over the next 24 hours, he will report to AHL Hartford, where he could play a sizable role to begin the 2026-27 campaign.

Sheary (undisclosed) was placed on waivers Tuesday to be loaned to AHL Rochester.

Sheary suffered an injury in Buffalo's preseason opener against Pittsburgh on Sept. 21. He moved to injured reserve ahead of Monday's NHL roster deadline to be cap compliant for the 2026-27 campaign. However, Sheary returned to the ice for Tuesday's practice and is ready to play.

Savoie (lower body) is expected to be sidelined for around eight weeks.

Savoie was injured during an offseason training session, which caused him to miss the entirety of the Oilers' training camp. The 22-year-old forward is an exciting up and coming player who posted 18 goals, 37 points, 138 shots on net and 37 blocked shots across 82 regular-season games in 2025-26. In Savoie's absence, the Oilers will experiment with other young players in the lineup, such as Colton Dach and Owen Michaels, until he is ready to return. On his current timeline, expect the ninth-overall selection from the 2022 NHL Entry Draft to return sometime between late November and early December, barring any setbacks.

Dickinson (foot) is still "a bit" away from being ready to return, head coach Mike Babcock told NHL.com on Tuesday.

Dickinson is expected to miss at least the first week of the 2026-27 campaign, but he could be unavailable for longer. In 64 regular-season games between Edmonton and Chicago in 2025-26, he posted seven goals, 17 points, 73 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and 85 hits.

Andersen (knee) isn't expected back until "maybe" December, head coach Mike Babcock told NHL.com on Tuesday.

Andersen, who signed a one-year, $1 million contract with Edmonton in July, is still rehabbing from a knee injury. He posted a 16-14-5 record with a 3.05 GAA and an .874 save percentage in 35 appearances for Carolina during the 2025-26 regular season. Once he's ready to play in the 2026-27 campaign with the Oilers, Andersen could compete for starts with Tristan Jarry and Devon Levi.

Janmark (undisclosed) does not have a timetable for his return from injury.

Janmark underwent an undisclosed procedure earlier in the year, but he's currently shelved until further notice. The 33-year-old winger was limited in 2025-26, where he compiled a goal and eight points across 43 regular-season outings. In his absence, Mathieu Joseph and Max Jones are expected to serve as the team's left wingers in the bottom six to open the 2026-27 campaign.

Timmins (lower body) doesn't have a timeline for his return yet, according to Heather Engel of NHL.com on Tuesday.

After getting hurt in Saturday's preseason finale against Pittsburgh, Timmins is on injured reserve for the beginning of the 2026-27 campaign. He registered eight assists, 44 shots on goal, 81 blocked shots and 29 hits in 39 regular-season appearances with Buffalo in 2025-26.

Dobes will defend the road crease in Tuesday's Opening Night Matchup against the Maple Leafs, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Dobes was the top candidate to see Montreal's first reps of the season in net after his successful 2025-26 campaign. Across 43 regular-season games, the 25-year-old goalie put together a 29-10-3 record, a 2.78 GAA and a .901 save percentage before he appeared in 19 postseason outings. Dobes will be matched up against the new-look Maple Leafs, who traded away Matthew Knies and acquired Kirill Marchenko Monday. Dobes is a solid No. 2 option in fantasy ahead of his second full season in the NHL.

Bobrovsky will patrol the home crease in Tuesday's season opener against Montreal, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Bobrovsky struggled last season behind an injured Florida team that failed to make the playoffs. After signing a three-year, $21 million contract with Toronto in July, the veteran netminder is an intriguing bounce-back candidate for the 2026-27 campaign.

Vladar (upper body) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's Opening Night contest against the Penguins, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Vladar has been trending towards being available for the Flyers' season opener, and he confirmed that he'll be available for Wednesday's playoff rematch with the Penguins. The 29-year-old backstop had a breakout season in 2025-26, where he posted a 29-14-7 record, a 2.42 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 52 regular-season outings. It remains to be seen whether Vladar or Joseph Woll will get the start Wednesday. However, Vladar dominated against Pittsburgh in the postseason, compiling a 4-2-0 record, a 1.61 GAA and a .937 save percentage, so he could be in for a successful fantasy outing if the Flyers elect to roll with him over Woll.
