24.11.25 NY Islan.

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

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 LA Kings

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

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. Coach Marco Sturm said McAvoy is recovering at home, but there is no timeline yet for his return. Before the injury, McAvoy had 14 assists in 19 games this season.

17.11.25 Montreal

Montreal forward Kirby Dach will miss four to six weeks with a fractured foot, adding to a growing list of significant injuries for the Canadiens. The team is already without Kaiden Guhle (up to 10 weeks), Alex Newhook (four months), and Patrik Laine (three to four months). Dach, limited by major injuries in recent seasons, has five goals and seven points in 15 games.

16.11.25 Chicago

Chicago Blackhawks captain Nick Foligno will miss about four weeks after a shot deflected off his hand during Saturday's win over the Maple Leafs. The 38-year-old forward left late in the second period and did not return. Foligno's absence further thins Chicago's forward group, with Jason Dickinson already on injured reserve.

15.11.25 Montreal

The Montreal Canadiens will be without forward Alex Newhook and defenseman Kaiden Guhle for the next few months due to injuries. Newhook fractured his ankle in Thursday's loss to the Dallas Stars and will be sidelined for four months. Guhle, who had been dealing with a lower-body injury since October 16, will miss 8 to 10 weeks after undergoing surgery for a torn adductor muscle.

14.11.25 Toronto

Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews may be out for up to a week after suffering a lower-body injury from a hit by Boston's Nikita Zadorov on Tuesday. This is Matthews' first injury absence of the season. Toronto is also without goalie Anthony Stolarz, who is day-to-day, and placed Scott Laughton on injured reserve.

13.11.25 Carolina

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Charles-Alexis Legault underwent surgery to repair multiple torn extensor tendons in his right hand after being cut by a skate during a game in Toronto. The 22-year-old rookie was injured when Nick Robertson's skate accidentally sliced his hand during a first-period scrum. Legault was placed on injured reserve and is expected to miss three to four months. The Hurricanes thanked the Maple Leafs' medical staff for their quick response.

12.11.25 Toronto

Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews left Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Boston Bruins with a lower-body injury and did not return for the third period. The injury came after a second-period hit from behind by Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov, which drew criticism from Leafs coach Craig Berube, though no penalty was called on the play. Berube said there's no timeline yet for Matthews' return.

11.11.25 Buffalo

Buffalo Sabres center Jiri Kulich will miss significant time due to a blood clot, coach Lindy Ruff announced Monday. The 21-year-old last played on Nov. 1 and has five points in 12 games this season. Ruff called the condition serious but said Kulich could return later this season depending on his recovery.

10.11.25 Washing.

Washington Capitals forward Pierre-Luc Dubois will miss three to four months following surgery for abdominal and adductor injuries, the team announced Sunday. Dubois, 27, has been sidelined since Oct. 31 and has yet to record a point in six games this season. The injury halts his momentum after a career-best 66-point campaign in 2024-25.
