The Boston Bruins are facing some injury issues as forward Mark Kastelic is skating, but not yet ready for game action. Defenseman Hampus Lindholm is also practicing alone, with no set timetable for his return, as confirmed by Coach Joe Sacco.

Defenseman Charlie McAvoy has been placed on IR due to a lingering injury, retroactive to January 11th, while Lindholm was placed on LTIR earlier. Cole Koepke had to leave a game due to a hit, creating further uncertainty for the Bruins.

In other league news, Frederik Andersen of the Carolina Hurricanes has been placed on IR but is expected to return soon. Meanwhile, the Columbus Blue Jackets' Zach Aston-Reese is back on the ice following an upper-body injury, and Detroit's Tyler Motte left a game with an injury without an update on his status.

Patrick Kane's clutch overtime power-play goal propelled the Detroit Red Wings to a thrilling 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators at Little Caesars Arena, marking the Red Wings' fifth consecutive win. The game concluded a challenging nine-game road trip for the Senators, who struggled to find their footing despite a commendable performance by goaltender Anton Forsberg, who saved 30 of 33 shots.

The scoring kicked off with Dylan Larkin netting a power-play goal after a clever passing play involving Lucas Raymond and Alex DeBrincat. This lead, however, was precarious as Ottawa's Thomas Chabot equalized with a slap shot, benefiting from a deflection off Tyler Motte.

As the game progressed, Brady Tkachuk scored to give the Senators a short-lived 2-1 lead. But Joe Veleno's early third-period goal rekindled hope for Detroit. Forsberg's extraordinary glove save on Marco Kasper was pivotal in keeping the game tied, preventing a potential go-ahead goal for the Red Wings.

Ultimately, Kane sealed the victory with a wrist shot during a power play in overtime, further deepening Ottawa's woes as they dropped to 1-4-1 in their last six contests. The Senators now await a much-needed home game against the Buffalo Sabres, having concluded their road trip with a respectable 4-4-1 record.

The New Jersey Devils capitalized on the Detroit Red Wings' struggling penalty kill, securing a 5-4 victory with three power-play goals from Dougie Hamilton, Timo Meier, and Jack Hughes. Detroit's penalty kill remains the worst in the NHL, successfully stopping only 60% of penalties.

Despite the loss, Lucas Raymond extended his scoring streak to five games, while the Devils continued their strong performance on the road, winning four of their last five games.

The Detroit Red Wings are making significant changes to their forward lines in an effort to improve their even strength scoring, which has been underwhelming. Head coach Derek Lalonde has retained one line intact while reshuffling others, notably adding Vladimir Tarasenko to the top line with Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond.

New combinations include Marco Kasper, Patrick Kane, and Alex DeBrincat as the second line, with Tyler Motte stepping in for Joe Veleno. The effectiveness of these new lines will be closely monitored as fans await their debut in the upcoming game.

Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff mentioned that Zach Benson could play in tonight's game. Columbus Blue Jackets GM Don Waddell provided an update on Kent Johnson's recovery from a shoulder injury, indicating progress but no set return date.

Detroit Red Wings coach confirmed Tyler Motte's availability for Wednesday after an upper-body injury. Meanwhile, New Jersey Devils' Nathan Bastian will be sidelined for weeks due to a jaw injury.

New York Islanders' Alexander Romanov and Mike Reilly are day-to-day, while Ottawa Senators' Artem Zub may return soon after missing games due to a concussion. Philadelphia Flyers' Sam Ersson and Cam York missed practice, with uncertainty about Ersson's travel.

Pittsburgh Penguins coach Mike Sullivan announced that Matt Nieto and Bryan Rust will join the team on their road trip. Lastly, the Tampa Bay Lightning had no updates on Brayden Point's status after he exited a recent game early.
