New Jersey Devils forward Cody Glass (undisclosed) logged only 4:02 of ice time in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime victory against the Chicago Blackhawks. After going into the boards late in the first period, Glass had only one shift in the second frame. Glass was playing in only his fourth game since returning from an upper-body injury. Unfortunately, he may have to sit out some time again. The 26-year-old has contributed three goals in 10 outings this season. Zack MacEwen (undisclosed) was also lost during Wednesday's contest, meaning Devils head coach Sheldon Keefe might have to make several changes to the forwards group for Saturday's tilt against the Washington Capitals.

Tampa Bay Lightning winger Brandon Hagel (undisclosed) was limited to only a couple of minutes of action in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the New York Rangers. He left the game with an undisclosed injury after a hit from Rangers defenseman Carson Soucy. Prior to Wednesday's tilt, Hagel had enjoyed a red-hot scoring stretch with 13 points in eight games. In total, he has tallied seven goals and 14 points in 16 games this season. Tampa's frontline seems to be cursed with injuries, as the team was already without Dominic James (undisclosed), Nicholas Paul (upper body), Pontus Holmberg (undisclosed), and Anthony Cirelli (upper body) on Wednesday night.

Edmonton Oilers winger Zach Hyman (wrist) will remain out on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Flyers but is expected to make his season debut this week. "Unfortunately, not ready for tonight," Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said about Hyman's status on Wednesday morning. "Definitely sometime this week. Maybe tomorrow if we're really lucky, but definitely by Saturday." Edmonton completes a back-to-back on Thursday against Columbus and wraps up this week's schedule with a clash against Carolina on Saturday night. Hyman hasn't played since dislocating his wrist during the 2025 Stanley Cup Western Conference Finals. We will likely see Hyman on the top line and the first power-play unit as soon as he's ready to return.

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Colten Ellis will make his second career start in Wednesday's matchup against the Utah Mammoth. He will attempt to make it two wins in two appearances, having beaten the Detroit Red Wings 4-2 with 29 saves on Oct. 22. The Sabres have allowed three or more goals in six of their last seven games, going 1-2-4, and desperately need a change in momentum. Ellis faces a tough challenge on Wednesday night, as Utah averages 29.3 shots and 3.19 goals per game. However, Buffalo catches the Mammoth at a good time, with André Tourigny's team having gone 1-5-0 over the last six games.

Dallas Stars left wing Adam Erne (lower body) is facing a multi-week absence. "He's going to be out for a little bit, here," Stars head coach Glen Gulutzan said Wednesday. "I would say we are talking weeks, a few weeks with a lower-body injury." So far, Erne has been a regular in the Stars lineup, though in a limited capacity. He has averaged 9:37 of ice time, recording two goals and one assist in 14 appearances. With 44 hits, Erne ranks second on his team. The Stars attack has already been without Matt Duchene (upper) and Jamie Benn (upper body) for an extended period, which has increased the fantasy value of Sam Steel and Tyler Seguin.

Philadelphia Flyers winger Tyson Foerster (lower body) has been removed from Injured Reserve, Jackie Spiegel of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. This is a strong signal that Foerster is ready to rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Edmonton Oilers. Earlier in the day, Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet labeled Foerster a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup. Due to a lower-body injury, Foerster has missed four contests. He has scored four goals and seven points in 11 games this term. On Wednesday, Foerster will make his comeback alongside his regular linemates, Noah Cates and Bobby Brink. The trio is also expected to operate on the second power-play unit.

Chicago Blackhawks winger Andre Burakovsky (undisclosed) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's meeting with the New Jersey Devils. The Swedish forward is dealing with an undisclosed injury and didn't skate on Wednesday morning. Chicago will be desperate to have Burakovsky available, as he has been on fire lately. The 30-year-old has recorded back-to-back multi-point games and has managed 10 of his 14 points this season over his past seven outings. Landon Slaggert is set to come into the lineup as his replacement if Burakovsky is deemed not healthy enough to play. However, Slaggert has only recorded one point this season across eight appearances in the NHL and AHL, so his impact on Wednesday's game will likely be minimal.

Chicago Blackhawks center Frank Nazar (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup on Wednesday against the New Jersey Devils. An undisclosed health issue will keep the young forward sidelined for a second consecutive contest. Although Nazar has not registered a single point in his last five appearances, he has generally had a good season. In 15 games, Nazar has produced 11 points (five goals, six assists). With Nazar out, Ryan Greene is expected to maintain a second-line role on Wednesday. Greene has totaled only three points (one goal, two assists) in 14 outings and should remain a free agent in fantasy leagues.

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Boone Jenner (upper body) left Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win against the Seattle Kraken in the second period. Initially, the team announced that Jenner was questionable to return, but he ended up sitting out the rest of the game. Considering there was a chance Jenner might return, his injury may only be minor, and the veteran forward could make a quick return. In his 13th NHL season, Jenner has recorded three goals and 10 points, along with 30 hits, in 16 games. Ahead of Tuesday's action, he had averaged a point per game across his last four outings.

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen was pulled by the concussion spotter in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Washington Capitals. He exited the game only a few minutes from the end, finishing with 24 saves on 27 shots. Pyotr Kochetkov wasn't forced into any saves after he took over the crease from Andersen. There have been a few rough outings for Andersen lately, and it would be another setback for the Danish veteran if he has to miss time. Andersen holds a 5-4-0 record and has a 3.00 goals-against average and a .892 save percentage. Kochetkov will share the Hurricanes' net with Brandon Bussi if Andersen needs to take some time off.

Colorado Avalanche winger Valeri Nichushkin (lower body) didn't complete Tuesday's 4-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks. He left the contest early in the third period. Prior to his exit, the Russian forward helped Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog score his first regular-season goal in three years. Nichushkin has contributed five goals and seven assists across 17 outings this season. His potential absence from the lineup for the upcoming games could give Landeskog or Viktor Olofsson a larger role in the Avalanche attack. Colorado will return to action on Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres.

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko (lower body) was limited to only one period of play in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. Demko has been banged up lately and missed a couple of games last weekend. On Tuesday, he reportedly suffered a lower-body injury unrelated to his previous issue. Against the Jets, Demko allowed three goals on eight shots before his exit. After he missed most of last season with a knee injury, it's unfortunate to see Demko dealing with health issues again. He has a 5-4-0 record this season with a 2.80 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage. Kevin Lankinen is set to carry a heavy workload if Demko misses further time.

Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot (upper body) played only the first period in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss against the Dallas Stars. According to Senators head coach Travis Green, Chabot sustained an upper-body injury while reaching for the puck. Chabot must shake off the injury by Thursday to avoid missing his first game of the season. The former All-Star has kept himself busy in all areas of the game, recording 10 points (two goals, eight assists), 19 shots, 35 blocks, and 11 hits with a plus-six rating in 17 appearances. If Chabot has to sit out some action, Nikolas Matinpalo will likely be re-inserted into the lineup. Meanwhile, Jake Sanderson and Tyler Kleven are expected to see an increase in ice time.

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz (upper body) played only one period in Tuesday's 5-3 defeat to the Boston Bruins. He left the contest due to an upper-body injury after allowing three goals on 11 shots in the first frame. Dennis Hildeby has 19 stops on 21 shots as his replacement. After the game, Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube told reporters that he didn't believe Stolarz's issue was "serious" and said he would be "fine." Joseph Woll (personal) is working his way back into shape and could be a good alternative for Stolarz, but it's unclear when he will be available for the Maple Leafs. The team assigned Woll to a conditioning stint in the AHL last week.

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (lower body) made an early exit against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night. He left the action after absorbing a hit from Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov, finishing with 10:51 of ice time. No update was provided on Matthews after the game. "I don't know exactly," Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said. "I can't give you a timeline or how serious it is right now. I'm not sure when he hurt it, to be honest with you." Matthews hasn't missed any games this season yet. However, the Maple Leafs captain has been off form, settling for 14 points (nine goals, five assists) in 17 games. He has finished scoreless in four of his last eight outings. Max Domi could get back into the top six if Matthews has to miss time.
