At the very least this harm doesn’t look like severe. He’s missed two video games already, and it stays to be seen if he’ll be again for Thursday’s sport in opposition to the New York Islanders.

Hughes is about to symbolize the USA on the Olympics subsequent week. Anticipate him to be cleared to play in that event. House owners ought to cross their fingers that he doesn’t undergo a bigger harm in Italy and miss the stretch.

In his absence, count on Nico Hischier and Dawson Mercer to maneuver up the depth chart.

A daily jersey normally means a line-up return is imminent. Anticipate Marchand to play on Wednesday in opposition to Boston. It’s laborious to think about an harm state of affairs that will maintain Marchand out of a sport in opposition to his previous crew.

Anticipate him to renew a top-six, first power-play position.

Bennett left Sunday’s sport after simply 5:11 of ice time. With the announcement yesterday that he’s changing the injured Anthony Cirelli, Tampa Bay Lightning, on Crew Canada on the Olympics, the harm doesn’t look like severe.

One necessary be aware: Darren Raddysh stays on Tampa’s prime energy play unit. There’s no approach Jon Cooper can take away him. In spite of everything, Raddysh is as much as 17 targets and 51 factors in 48 video games.

It’s usually stated {that a} participant can’t lose their job on account of harm. Nicely, I believe we’re seeing one of many few occasions they’ll. Raddysh has became an offensive juggernaut.
