  • Ridly Greig C | OTT

    Senators' Ridly Greig: Possible for Tuesday

    Greig (upper body) is a possibility for Tuesday's matchup against Utah, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

    Greig was a full participant in Monday's practice. If he receives the green light to return from a three-game absence, he could occupy a bottom-six spot and get power-play time against Utah. Greig hasn't earned a point in two appearances this season. With David Perron (personal) away from the team, Cole Reinhardt might play Tuesday if Greig is unavailable.

  • Ryan Strome C | ANA

    Ducks' Ryan Strome: Dealing with illness

    Strome didn't practice Monday due to an illness, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

    Strome has recorded points in three consecutive appearances, including goals in his last two outings. However, it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Tuesday's game against the Sharks due to his illness. If he's sidelined, Brett Leason could see additional work for the Ducks.

  • Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Ruled out for another two weeks

    General manager Mike Grier said Monday that Celebrini (lower body) will miss at least two more weeks, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

    Celebrini has been unavailable since Opening Night on Oct. 10, when he recorded a goal and an assist in 17:35 of ice time against the Blues. Although Celebrini recently resumed skating, he's considered week-to-week and will be sidelined until at least early November. Mikael Granlund should continue to see work on the Sharks' top line while Celebrini remains sidelined.

  • Sam Steel C | DAL

    Stars' Sam Steel: Traveling with club

    Steel (undisclosed) will be on the Stars' two-game road trip, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports Monday.

    In five games this season, Steel has tallied one goal on five shots, one assist and three hits while averaging 13:28 of ice time. If the Alberta native does suit up against the Sabres on Tuesday or the Bruins on Thursday, it figures to be in a bottom-six role where he will offer minimal offensive upside.

  • Senators' Matthew Highmore: Designated for waivers

    Highmore (upper body) was placed on waivers by Ottawa on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    In order to put Highmore on waivers, he would have needed to be medically cleared, meaning he should be ready to get back into the lineup. The 28-year-old center figures to start his season with AHL Belleville as he works his way back from injury but should be a strong candidate for a call-up later in the season.

  • Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Sporting non-contact jersey

    Karlsson skated in a non-contact sweater at practice Monday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

    Karlsson seems unlikely to suit up versus the Kings on Tuesday considering he is still in a non-contact jersey. He could be progressing toward a return with an eye to the upcoming back-to-back versus Ottawa and San Jose on Friday and Saturday, respectively. Once cleared to play, Karlsson figures to slot into a top-six role, which could see Tanner Pearson pushed down the depth chart.

  • Flyers' Scott Laughton: Status unclear for Tuesday's game

    Head coach John Tortorella said Monday that he isn't yet sure whether Laughton (personal) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Capitals, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

    Laughton is awaiting the birth of his child, so it's not yet clear whether he'll be with the team for Tuesday's matchup. The 30-year-old has been relatively efficient early in the season, totaling two goals and two assists while averaging 13:21 of ice time over five contests.

  • Tyler Seguin C | DAL

    Stars' Tyler Seguin: Set to travel with team

    Head coach Peter DeBoer said Monday that Seguin (lower body) will travel with the Stars for their road trip that begins Tuesday in Buffalo, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.

    Seguin has missed the last three games due to a lower-body injury, but it's slightly encouraging that he'll be with the team on the road. However, DeBoer didn't indicate whether he expects Seguin to play Tuesday against the Sabres or Thursday against Boston. The 32-year-old Seguin was productive over his first three appearances of the season, tallying two goals and an assist while averaging 14:55 of ice time.

  • Cody Glass C | PIT

    Penguins' Cody Glass: Pockets helper in loss

    Glass recorded an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.

    Glass has earned two helpers over seven appearances to begin his Penguins tenure. The 25-year-old forward also has 10 shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. He's filling a bottom-six role and figures to do so as long as he can stay healthy, which has been a concern throughout his career.

  • Jets' Vladislav Namestnikov: Stays warm with goal

    Namestnikov scored a goal in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.

    Namestnikov has erupted with five points over his last two games, taking advantages of porous defenses by the Sharks and Penguins. The 31-year-old is centering the Jets' second line, and he's added four shots on net, five hits, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over five appearances this year. He's not a particularly steady scorer, but he's in a good spot alongside Cole Perfetti and Nikolaj Ehlers on a scoring line.
