NHL Injury Notes

Corey Masisak: Colorado Avalanche defenseman Jack Johnson left practice to go to the hospital to get five stitches after he was hit in the face. Johnson said he’ll be ready for tonight.

Harman Dayal: Vancouver Canucks GM Patrik Allvin said that forward Ilya Mikheyev wants to play tonight but they don’t want to push him: “I would believe that he’s pretty close to returning here”

Puck Pedia: The Vegas Golden Knights have placed defenseman Zach Whitecloud ($2.75 million) on the LTIR.

Kaedan Korczak will carry $863,000 and not his $789,000 cap hit because the Golden Knights didn’t have enough LTIR performance bonus room.
