Welcome to the NHL Status Report. Here is the latest lineup\/injury news around the NHL.<\/p>\n
Boston Bruins<\/p>\n
David Pastrnak<\/a> remains out because of an undisclosed injury and will not travel with the Bruins for their game against the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena on Tuesday (7 p.m. ET; FDSNDET, NESN, SNO, SNE). The forward, who will miss his third straight game, did not practice Monday. \u201cIt\u2019s still day to day,\u201d coach Marco Sturm said. \u201cWe were hoping he could skate by now, but he didn\u2019t. So, that\u2019s why. We\u2019ll see how it is the next few days, but he will not travel.\u201d Pastrnak played 18:35 in Boston\u2019s 3-1 win at the New York Islanders on Nov. 26. He leads the Bruins with 29 points (11 goals, 18 assists) in 25 games. \u2026 Forward Viktor Arvidsson<\/a> (lower body) is expected to return Tuesday; he\u2019s missed the past seven games.<\/p>\n Buffalo Sabres<\/p>\n Josh Norris<\/a> will be back for the Sabres against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday (7:30 p.m. ET; MSG-B, Prime) after the forward missed 25 games with a lower-body injury he sustained in their season opener on Oct. 9. Norris centered the top line at the morning skate between Zach Benson<\/a> and Tage Thompson<\/a> and was on the top power-play unit. “Woke up early this morning,\u201d Norris said. \u201cI couldn’t really sleep too well last night, just excited to get back in the lineup.” To make room for Norris, the Sabres reassigned defenseman Zach Metsa<\/a> to Rochester of the American Hockey League.<\/p>\n Vegas Golden Knights<\/p>\n Carter Hart<\/a> practiced with the Golden Knights on Monday and could make his debut for them against the Chicago Blackhawks at T-Mobile Arena on Tuesday (10 p.m. ET; HULU, ESPN+, SNO, SNE). The goalie signed a two-year, $4 million contract ($2 million average annual value) with Vegas on Oct. 15 and played three games for Henderson of the AHL, going 1-2-0 with a 3.07 goals-against average and .839 save percentage. Hart became eligible to return to NHL play on Monday, with his last NHL appearance having taken place on Jan. 20, 2024, as a member of the Philadelphia Flyers. He was one of the five members of Canada\u2019s 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship team acquitted of sexual assault charges following a trial this summer. Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy said a decision on whether Hart would start against the Blackhawks would be made Tuesday morning. \u201cI think for me, preparation is everything,\u201d Hart said after practice. \u201cI\u2019ve worked my [rear end] off to get back to this point. \u2026 I\u2019ve done everything I can to be prepared, and I\u2019ll be prepared if I get the call tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n Utah Mammoth<\/p>\n Logan Cooley<\/a> will be a game-time decision for Mammoth at the San Jose Sharks on Monday (10 p.m. ET; Utah16, NBCSCA). The forward participated at the morning skate after he sustained an apparent lower-body injury in the third period of a 1-0 loss at the St. Louis Blues on Saturday in a knee-on-knee collision with Blues forward Alexey Toropchenko<\/a>, who was assessed a major penalty for kneeing and a game misconduct. “That was great to see him walk the next day and to be on the ice this morning,\u201d Utah coach Andre Tourigny said. \u201cThat was really encouraging. You don’t want any of your players to have a significant knee injury. It’s good to see he is on his leg already.” Cooley leads Utah with 23 points (14 goals, nine assists) in 26 games.<\/p>\n Columbus Blue Jackets<\/p>\n Boone Jenner<\/a> is “close” to returning from an upper-body injury, according to coach Dean Evason, but the Blue Jackets captain will miss his 10th straight game at the New Jersey Devils on Monday (7 p.m. ET; FDSNOH, MSGSN). Jenner, a forward, hasn’t played since Nov. 11. He has 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in 16 games this season.<\/p>\n San Jose Sharks<\/p>\n Michael Misa<\/a> and Jeff Skinner<\/a> each participated in the Sharks’ morning skate on Monday prior to their game against the Mammoth (10 p.m. ET; Utah16, NBCSCA). It was the first time each skated since sustaining a lower-body injury. Misa, a forward, has not played since Nov. 1; he has three points (one goal, two assists) in seven games after being the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. Skinner, also a forward, has seven points (four goals, three assists) in 17 games; he has not played since Nov. 13. Neither will play Monday. … Defenseman Vincent Desharnais<\/a> (upper body) was placed on injured reserve.<\/p>\n Winnipeg Jets<\/p>\n Neal Pionk<\/a> (lower body) participated in the morning skate, but the Jets defenseman will miss his fourth straight game Monday against the Sabres (7:30 p.m. ET; MSG-B, Prime). Pionk was injured in the first period of a 3-0 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Nov. 23. He has five points (one goal, four assists) in 21 games while averaging 22:44 of ice time.<\/p>\n Vancouver Canucks<\/p>\n Conor Garland<\/a> (upper body) did not practice with the Canucks on Monday, two days after missing a 2-1 overtime loss at the Los Angeles Kings. The forward had an assist in 24:28 on Friday in a 3-2 loss at San Jose. … Nils Hoglander<\/a> (lower body) practiced Monday in a noncontact jersey; the forward has yet to play this season after having surgery on Sept. 29. … Goalie Jiri Patera<\/a> was recalled from Abbotsford of the AHL under emergency conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to the NHL Status Report.
