Fabbro (upper body) is expected to miss at least a month, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Sunday.

Fabbro was placed on injured reserve Friday due to an upper-body injury he sustained during Monday's preseason game against the Red Wings. It's not yet clear whether Damon Severson (shoulder) will be ready for Opening Night, but the Blue Jackets are in the process of trying to sign Carson Soucy after he spent camp with the team on a professional tryout agreement.

Reinhardt was placed on waivers by the Panthers on Sunday, per PuckPedia.

After factoring in for the Golden Knights and Panthers during the 2025-26 season, Reinhardt is currently on his way to open the upcoming campaign in the minors. Across 59 regular-season games, the 26-year-old winger posted nine goals, 15 points, 49 shots on net and 129 hits between Vegas and Florida. He played the majority of his time in 2025-26 with the Panthers, and the organization will likely keep him in mind during the upcoming season if their forward core runs into injury trouble. For now, he will suit up for AHL Charlotte if he clears waivers.

Schwindt was put on waivers Sunday, PuckPedia reports.

Schwindt chipped in five goals, seven points, 25 shots on net and 39 hits in 29 appearances for Florida during the 2025-26 regular season. If he clears waivers, he will probably begin the 2026-27 campaign in the minors with AHL Charlotte.

Petrovic was placed on waivers Sunday, per PuckPedia.

Petrovic registered 10 points, 57 shots on net, 77 blocked shots, 88 hits and 47 PIM in 54 appearances for Dallas during the 2025-26 regular season. He signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract with Florida in the summer. Petrovic could head to AHL Charlotte to begin the 2026-27 campaign if he clears waivers.

Sebrango was placed on waivers by the Panthers on Monday, PuckPedia reports.

Sebrango made 42 regular-season appearances between Ottawa and Florida last year and recorded no goals, eight assists, 77 hits, 68 PIM and 32 blocked shots while averaging 15:06 of ice time. He'll presumably begin the 2026-27 campaign in the minors but will be a candidate to rejoin the NHL club if the Panthers deal with injuries at some point.

Beecher was moved to the waiver wire Sunday, according to PuckPedia.

Beecher picked up three goals, seven points, 37 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and 23 hits in 35 regular-season appearances between Boston and Calgary in 2025-26. He signed a one-year, two-way contract with Florida in July. If he clears waivers, Beecher could open the 2026-27 campaign with AHL Charlotte.

Mitchell was placed on waivers by the Ducks on Sunday, per PuckPedia.

Mitchell was a surprise addition on Sunday's waiver list, as the Ducks currently have multiple key defensemen either listed as day-to-day or out, including Pavel Mintyukov (illness), Drew Helleson (lower body) and Ian Moore (lower body). The 26-year-old Mitchell played nine regular-season outings with the Islanders in 2025-26, but he primarily played with AHL Bridgeport, posting a goal and 17 points across 58 regular-season games. While he'll head to AHL San Diego if he goes unclaimed, he could return to Anaheim in the near future if the team's defensive core has their current health issues persist.

Toninato was put on waivers Sunday, per PuckPedia.

Toninato notched 16 goals and 43 points in 52 regular-season games for AHL Rockford in 2025-26. If he clears waivers, he will likely return to Chicago's top minor-league affiliate for the start of the 2026-27 campaign.

Romanov was placed on waivers by the Blues on Sunday, PuckPedia reports.

Romanov signed a two-year, two-way contract with St. Louis during the offseason and is set to begin the regular season in the minors since the Blues will keep Joel Hofer and Jordan Binnington as their two goaltenders on the roster for the start of the year. Romanov made 28 regular-season appearances with AHL Springfield last year and went 9-12-4 with a 3.29 GAA and .896 save percentage.

Holtz was placed on waivers Sunday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Holtz contributed three goals, six assists, 30 shots on net and 29 hits in 28 appearances for Vegas during the 2025-26 regular season. He will likely begin the 2026-27 campaign with AHL Henderson if he clears waivers.
