Other notable injuries include Chicago Blackhawks' Laurent Brossoit, who will be sidelined for six weeks, and Colorado Avalanche's Josh Manson, who suffered an upper-body injury. The New Jersey Devils' Tomas Tatar also left a game with a lower-body issue.

Meanwhile, the Toronto Maple Leafs are dealing with Bobby McMann's lower-body injury, and the New York Rangers' Chris Kreider and Filip Chytil remain day-to-day. As the season unfolds, teams are closely monitoring their players' conditions.
