Several NHL injuries and roster moves ripple through fantasy rosters. Josh Norris will miss a significant stretch for Buffalo with an upper-body injury. Jaccob Slavin is preparing to be evaluated after a limited third period for Carolina. Sam Girard is week-to-week for Colorado with an upper-body issue, and Dmitry Kulikov lands on IR for Florida with a possible surgery ahead.

Pietrangelo is on season-ending LTIR for Vegas, Barkov remains eligible to play (not on LTIR), Dadonov fractures and is out long-term, Trocheck is week-to-week for the Rangers, Rust is back for Pittsburgh, Lorentz exits for Toronto, and Fleury leaves Winnipeg’s game. These moves create shifts in minutes and fantasy value across the league.

Detroit raced past Toronto 6-3, flashing speed and depth as DeBrincat set up Kasper and Larkin fed Raymond to spark a comeback, while Kane’s late first-period strike swung the momentum. Domi evened things before the third, and Detroit closed with late power play and empty-netters. Ekman-Larsson moved to the right side on the bottom pair to mixed results, while Järnkrok and Roy pounced on turnovers for the early goals. The rematch is moved to 2 p.m. Monday at Scotiabank Arena, streamed on Amazon Prime.

Maple Leafs head into the final prep days with a wrench in their bottom six: Scott Laughton is out indefinitely after an exhibition injury, leaving a clear hole and forcing reshuffles around Steven Lorentz and rookie Easton Cowan.

David Kampf was placed on waivers, hinting at a near-term departure to clear cap and depth. Nick Robertson returns for the last preseason game in Detroit, giving him a legitimate shot to earn opening-night minutes. The team must balance opportunity with roster reality as Laughton’s timeline remains unclear.

The Leafs push to define lines as Robertson, Lorentz, and Cowan vie for roles while Laughton’s absence tests depth and the overall early-season plan.
