Here’s a roundup of recent NHL injury updates for several teams:
- Buffalo Sabres: Goaltender Alex Lyon was sidelined for last night’s game due to a lower-body injury.
- Colorado Avalanche: Coach Jared Bednar stated that forward Nazem Kadri’s availability for the next game hinges on his pain tolerance. Kadri is dealing with a finger injury that could sideline him for a few games, but his playoff participation is not believed to be in jeopardy.
- Detroit Red Wings: Forward Michael Rasmussen will miss several games after blocking a shot in a similar area to a previous injury. He could potentially be out for the remainder of the season with his lower-body injury. Forward Dylan Larkin had a maintenance day, while Mason Appleton remains out.
- Edmonton Oilers: Goaltender Connor Ingram was pulled as a precautionary measure in the second period due to discomfort. Forward Jason Dickinson left last night’s game in the third period after blocking a shot on his left leg.

- Montreal Canadiens: Defenseman Kaiden Guhle had a maintenance day after missing Tuesday’s game.
- New York Islanders: The team has not ruled out the possibility of forward Kyle Palmieri returning during the playoffs, should they qualify and make a deep run. Defenseman Tony DeAngelo is a game-time decision, but his return seems likely.
- Toronto Maple Leafs: Defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson rejoined the lineup after missing Saturday’s game. Goaltender Anthony Stolarz exited last night’s game in the first period with an apparent left leg injury, unable to put weight on it. Forward Dakota Joshua left in the second period with an upper-body injury after an awkward collision with the boards. Defenseman Brandon Carlo departed last night’s game after the second period with a lower-body injury.
