24.11.25 New York Islanders: Injuries

Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov will miss five to six months after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder, an injury sustained from a hit by Dallas' Mikko Rantanen in the final minute of regulation Tuesday. Romanov, 25, had to be helped off the ice and was placed on injured reserve with one assist through 15 games after signing an eight-year, $50 million deal last summer.

22.11.25 Winnipeg Jets: Injuries

Winnipeg goalie Connor Hellebuyck will miss four to six weeks for a minor knee procedure after lingering soreness from an injury dating back to training camp. He has posted an 8-6-0 record with a .913 save percentage this season for the Jets. Winnipeg recalled Thomas Milic to tandem with Eric Comrie while Hellebuyck recovers.

21.11.25 Los Angeles Kings: Injuries

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty was placed on injured reserve after taking a shot off his left foot, leaving him week-to-week, according to coach Jim Hiller. The 35-year-old exited Saturday's game in Ottawa and has missed the past two matchups. Doughty has eight points through 19 games and hopes to stay in the mix for Canada's Olympic roster.

20.11.25 Boston Bruins: Injuries

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy underwent surgery on Wednesday to repair facial injuries sustained after being hit in the mouth by a slap shot during Saturday's game against the Montreal Canadiens.

17.11.25 Los Angeles Kings: Transfers

The Los Angeles Kings have agreed to an eight-year contract extension with winger Adrian Kempe worth $10.625 million annually. Seen as a priority signing with Anze Kopitar nearing retirement, Kempe accepted slightly less money to remain in L.A., where he hopes to chase a Stanley Cup. The 29-year-old, a King for his entire 10-year career, leads the team in scoring for the past two seasons and has 19 points in 19 games this year.

6.11.25 Washington Capitals

Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin made NHL history Wednesday night, becoming the league's first player to score 900 career goals. The milestone came early in the second period of a 6-1 win over the St. Louis Blues, when Ovechkin backhanded in a rebound past goalie Jordan Binnington. In total, he has 977 goals including playoffs, trailing only Gretzky's 1,016.
