Welcome to the NHL Status Report. Here is the latest lineup/injury news around the NHL.
Edmonton Oilers
Tristan Jarry is going to “be out a couple of weeks,” Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said Sunday. The goalie was placed on injured reserve because of an undisclosed injury he sustained during the second period of a 3-1 win against the Boston Bruins on Thursday. It was Jarry’s third game since being acquired in a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Dec. 12. “Nothing too specific,” Knoblauch said. “… We won’t see him until the New Year at some point. That’s it.” Jarry is 3-0-0 with a 3.08 goals-against average and an .887 save percentage since the trade. Edmonton next hosts the Calgary Flames on Tuesday (9 p.m. ET; SN360, SNW).
New York Rangers
J.T. Miller is week to week for the Rangers after the forward sustained an upper-body injury during a 5-4 shootout win against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. The injury is not expected to hinder his chances of being named to Team USA’s roster for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. Miller, who is Rangers captain, was injured from a hit to the right shoulder by Nick Seeler midway through the third period. He has 22 points (10 goals, 12 assists) in 35 games this season. “He just means so much to this team,” coach Mike Sullivan said on Sunday before New York’s 2-1 loss to the Nashville Predators. “I think he’s the leader of this group in so many ways, emotionally with how he plays the game. I think his game was really building too. … And we’re just going to have to work through that, but J.T. is not an easy guy to replace. He’s a terrific player first and foremost, but he impacts this team in so many different ways.” Miller was placed on injured reserve Monday, and forward Brett Berard was recalled from Hartford of the American Hockey League. The Rangers visit the Washington Capitals on Tuesday (7 p.m. ET; MNMT2, MSG 2, SNP, SNO, SNE).
