NHL 2026/2027 Hockey

16.10.26 Ottawa Senators: Injuries

Ottawa Senators forward William Eklund is expected to miss 10 to 12 weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ankle tendon. The 23-year-old was injured last week following a hit by Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Simon Benoit. Acquired from the San Jose Sharks in June, Eklund has recorded one goal and one assist in four games this season.

14.10.26 Carolina Hurricanes: Injuries

Carolina Hurricanes forward Taylor Hall suffered an upper-body injury during a 4-2 win over the Washington Capitals and did not return to the game. Coach Rod Brind'Amour expressed concern, saying the injury "doesn't look good," but provided no further details. The Hurricanes are already without captain Jordan Staal, who will miss one to two months with a torn calf muscle.

13.10.26 Minnesota Wild: Injuries

Minnesota Wild forward Nico Sturm was taken to a hospital for precautionary evaluation after being struck in the helmet by a teammate's slap shot during a 4-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. Coach John Hynes had no update on Sturm's condition and said he was unlikely to travel for Tuesday's game against Winnipeg. The incident raised concerns as defenseman Brock Faber remains out indefinitely with a fractured skull from a similar injury.

11.10.26 New York Rangers: Injuries

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a right knee injury against the Washington Capitals. Shesterkin, who started the season with a 3-1 record and a 1.79 goals-against average, leaves the Rangers short on goaltending options, with backup Joonas Korpisalo also on injured reserve. Dylan Garand is expected to take on a larger role as the team explores alternatives.

3.10.26 Detroit Red Wings

Dylan Larkin was booed by Detroit fans during opening-night introductions as the Red Wings moved him to non-roster injured reserve while continuing to address his trade request. Detroit then lost 2-0 to the Rangers, going scoreless in its season opener without its former captain.

1.10.26 Vegas Golden Knights: Transfers

William Karlsson has agreed to a two-year, $13.5 million extension with the Vegas Golden Knights, keeping him under contract through 2028-29. The 33-year-old center, one of the franchise's original "Golden Misfits," has battled injuries recently but remains a key two-way player and penalty killer.

28.9.26 New York Islanders: Transfers

The New York Islanders have signed defenseman Logan Stanley to a one-year deal ahead of their season opener against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 28-year-old left-shot defenseman posted career highs with seven goals and 26 points last season but struggled in the playoffs with Buffalo.

27.9.26 Carolina Hurricanes: Transfers

The Carolina Hurricanes signed goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov to a two-year, $7.9 million extension through the 2028-29 season. The 27-year-old will continue as part of Carolina's goaltending tandem after going 6-2 with a 2.33 GAA in nine appearances last season.
