Lia Assimakopoulos: Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz missed last night’s game with an upper-body injury. Hintz was able to participate in some practices this week but he didn’t get into one preseason game.
“He’s making a lot of progress,” DeBoer said. “I think it was close. I think if it’s a playoff game, he’s probably playing, but we have five days after tonight, so the risk-reward of it didn’t make sense.”
The Stars don’t play again until next Tuesday.
Derek Van Diest: Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett missed their game last night due to a lower-body injury.
“He won’t be too much longer, but he’s not here (in Minnesota),” Panthers coach Paul Maurice said Thursday.
Los Angeles Kings: The Los Angeles Kings have placed forward Viktor Arvidsson on the LTIR.
- Puck Pedia: “The #GoKingsGo sent Laferriere/Kaliyev down & called up Turcotte/Clarke, then put Arvidsson on LTIR. This reduced their LTIR capture by $11.5K, but by including Turcotte/Clarke when they set LTIR, they now have room for their perf bonuses while in LTIR.”
Sportsnet: Nashville Predators defenseman Luke Schenn missed last night’s game with a lower-body injury.
Sportsnet: Seattle Kraken forward Brandon Tanev missed last night’s game after being injured on Tuesday from a Brett Howden hit. Howden was suspended for two games for the hit.
Paul Delos Santos: Vegas Golden Knights forward William Carrier missed last night’s game with an upper-body injury. He suffered the injury on Tuesday against the Seattle Kraken.
Summary of all players on IR, LTIR or SOIR for declared opening rosters (customary h/t @CapFriendly).
As usual, not every player here will miss a game, some players injured but not on IR will miss the first game or more. Some notes on my classifications to follow… pic.twitter.com/RZAJ3nqNq3
