Ducks' John Moore: Dealing with undisclosed injury
Rotowire
Moore will not be in training camp due to a lingering undisclosed injury, the team announced Wednesday. Additionally, the blueliner was designated for injured reserve, according to the team's training camp roster.
Moore was part of the failed Evgenii Dadonov trade last season but was never asked to move from Anaheim as part of his previous trade deal. Over the last two years, the veteran has logged a combined 12 contests in which he notched a meager three assists, 15 assists and 11 blocks. With Moore entering the final year of his contract, this could be the end of his NHL career if he isn't able to recover from this undisclosed injury.

The trade that sent Moore and Ryan Kesler from Anaheim to Vegas in exchange for Evgenii Dadonov and a second-round draft pick Monday has been retroactively invalidated.

Anaheim traded Moore and Ryan Kesler (hip) to Vegas in exchange for Evgenii Dadonov and a second-round draft pick Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Moore was sent from Boston to Anaheim in the recent Hampus Lindholm deal and now he's heading to Vegas. The 31-year-old blueliner will likely join AHL Henderson but could be used as an injury replacement by the big club at some point this season.

Moore has appeared in just 12 NHL games over the last two seasons and still has one year left on his $2.75 million AAV deal. The 31-year-old blueliner will likely fill a similar depth role with the Ducks. He has one point and 11 blocked shots in seven games with Boston this season.

Bruins' John Moore: Exits with upper-body injury
Rotowire
Moore (upper body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Canadiens.
Moore was hurt on a hit in the second period that immediately sent him to the locker room. With Derek Forbort and Connor Clifton both in the COVID-19 protocols, losing Moore for any amount of time leaves the Bruins thin on the blue line. He'll be evaluated, but he's likely questionable at best for Thursday's game versus the Flyers.
