Good morning, good afternoon, and good night! Welcome again to the Harm Ward. My identify is Logan Clarkson and each Wednesday and Sunday I will probably be taking you thru damage information and updates from across the NHL. I am going to do my greatest to supply helpful evaluation and opinion because it pertains to fantasy all through. On the finish of the article is the Quarantine part, the place any gamers out as a consequence of sickness will probably be listed. As all the time I’d wish to thank each single one in all you for studying. So, on to the unhealthy (and a few good) information.
Accidents / Leaves
Tom Wilson / Washington Capitals – Wilson (decrease physique) will probably be a game-time name forward of Wednesday’s conflict with Vancouver, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Submit reviews. Nice information for Washington and Tom alike. Wilson shot 19.4% final season and has even pushed it a bit additional this season with a 22.7%. He is one of the crucial precious gamers in bangers leagues presently, even with a small drop off in hits to date this yr he’s nonetheless received 110 by way of 41 video games.
Darcy Kuemper / Los Angeles Kings – Kuemper (higher physique) left the sport and didn’t return for Tuesday’s sport versus the Rangers. Darcy hasn’t been dwelling fairly as much as his numbers of final season, the place he posted an exceptional 0.922 SV% over 50 video games. He is presently at a .904 SV% on the yr to date in 2025-26 with a 12-9-9 report. Anton Forsberg will probably be seeing a lot of the internet within the meantime, and Pheonix Copley will probably be watching from the bench on most nights.
William Nylander / Toronto Maple Leafs – William Nylander / Toronto Maple Leafs – Nylander (groin) was positioned on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media web site. Nylander aggravated his final damage that stored him out for 4 video games. Seeing him go out and in of the lineup has been irritating for house owners, not solely as a result of he was a excessive decide in most drafts however as a result of he has irrefutably been producing as such. 12 factors in his final six video games performed, and a 106 level tempo on the season actually has individuals with their head of their arms getting the damage notification each second week.Underneath the hood, Willy has really seen a drop off in SOG/g this season, from 3.1 to 2.0 and a rise in S% from 17.7 to 22.7. That signifies him slowing down sooner or later when he does return, but when he is been doing it whereas injured half the season within the first place I’m not going to be calling my bookie to ask for odds on that decelerate.
Shayne Gostisbehere / Carolina Hurricanes – Head coach Rod Brind’Amour mentioned Wednesday that he hopes Gostisbehere (decrease physique) will begin skating once more quickly, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey Information reviews. Excessive threat, excessive reward this season with the Ghost bear. He is scoring at a ridiculous 0.91 PTS/GP within the 35 video games he has featured in, and is even over 2 SOG/GP on the season. The Hurricanes powerplay has figured it out during the last two weeks with out him, having 9 PPG of their final eight video games. Related pacing to early on within the season when Shayne put up some much more gaudy numbers throughout its first burst of manufacturing. Nikishin has been occupying the blueline in his absence.
Troy Terry / Anaheim Geese – Head coach Joel Quenneville mentioned Monday that Terry (higher physique) is day-to-day and will play on the staff’s upcoming highway journey, Patrick Current of The Hockey Information reviews. Troy has 42 factors in 43 video games to date this yr, and has executed so with linemates reminiscent of Leo Carlsson, Cutter Gauthier, Kris Kreider, and Mikael Granlund. It is all the time nice to see guys with this type of potential get the assistance they want and switch in profession years.
Frank Nazar / Chicago Blackhawks – Nazar (higher physique) is anticipated to play in Thursday’s sport towards the Hurricanes, per Scott Powers of The Athletic. Frank has been relegated to the spare components bin since December twentieth, and sadly solely had one level within the eight video games previous to his exit. He ought to return to powerplay one, and with Connor Bedard again wholesome there’s potential there for him to choose it up. Nazar’s nonetheless had some streaks this season and is sitting at 0.64 PTS/G, a lot increased than final season’s 0.49. Shot totals are up a bit, and I imagine within the participant to do nicely if he is getting that linemate assist.
Kris Letang / Pittsburgh Penguins – Letang missed observe Tuesday due to an upper-body damage and is taken into account day-to-day. The times of Kris Letang serving to you win your league have just about handed us by until there’s 20 groups in mentioned leagues. Regardless, he is executed okay for himself this season scoring at a 0.52 PTS/G tempo, largely assists. His SOG/GP is kind of regarding although having fallen off a cliff to simply 1.58 /GP this season.
Erik Karlsson / Pittsburgh Penguins – Karlsson (decrease physique) is not going to be in motion versus Calgary on Wednesday however did observe in an everyday jersey, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reviews. Karlsson is the opposite aspect of the coin from Letang in Pittsburgh, and remains to be taking part in upwards of 24 minutes an evening managing a 0.75 PTS/G tempo. His photographs are down a bit too, however he is receiving 71.5 % of obtainable powerplay time and the Penguins are holding their very own in a fairly robust Japanese convention.
Dan Vladar / Philadelphia Flyers – Vladar (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per Jordan Corridor of NBC Sports activities Philadelphia. Outdoors of Trevor Zegras, Vladar might be the very best story in Philadelphia this yr. With a 16-7-4 report and a .905 SV% earlier than damage, he is managed 21 high quality begins and a 12.12 GSAx. The choices behind him are extraordinarily skinny, Samuel Ersson has not been getting the job executed in any respect. The Flyers have given up an terrible 28 targets of their final six video games performed, so I do not suppose I’ve to inform you guys it is most likely greatest to avoid their goaltending in the mean time.
Anthony Stolarz / Toronto Maple Leafs – Stolarz (higher physique) was reassigned to AHL Toronto on a conditioning task Tuesday. I will be watching Stolarz’ efficiency stats within the AHL earlier than his return with curiosity, though we have lately seen with Connor Ingram simply how flawed evaluating goalie performances between the 2 leagues could be. Stolarz struggled mightily within the early season, going 6-5-1 with simply an 0.884 SV% over 13 video games performed. Perhaps a little bit of it was as a consequence of being overworked, and a bit as a consequence of lacklustre play from the staff in entrance of him, however he’ll have some work to do to solidify himself after watching Dennis Hildeby put in some stable work whereas he was away.
Seth Jones / Florida Panthers – Jones (higher physique) was moved from common IR to long-term injured reserve Monday, per PuckPedia. Jones was additionally changed on Group USA’s roster for the Milan Olympics by Jackson Lacombe of Anaheim after the announcement. Jones has 24 factors in 48 video games up to now this season, getting almost 62% of powerplay time from the blueline. Uvis Balinskis has taken over for him for the reason that damage, and he has a pair PPP in his final 4 video games.
Carter Hart / Vegas Golden Knights – Normal supervisor Kelly McCrimmon mentioned Monday that Hart (decrease physique) isn’t scheduled to be out there till after the 2026 Winter Olympics, SinBin.vegas reviews. With the return of Adin Hill, and Akira Schmid taking part in nicely this makes issues a bit simpler for the Golden Knights decisions-wise. Hart has been fairly terrible as of late.
Luke Hughes / New Jersey Devils – Hughes has reportedly dislocated his shoulder. The damage is of concern, and reviews from New Jersey point out that he’s consulting together with his Colorado physician. Will probably be a few days earlier than we all know the complete extent of the damage and his absence, however at greatest we’re two or three weeks and at worst – the season. He has already been positioned on LTIR.
