Meanwhile, the Buffalo Sabres are also dealing with injuries, impacting their depth.

His return is eagerly anticipated, as Aho is a pivotal part of the Hurricanes' offensive strategy. The team is optimistic that their injured players will be back in the lineup soon, bolstering their chances in a competitive division.

The Oilers are also in the spotlight regarding injuries as they assess the status of Connor McDavid. His health is crucial not only for Edmonton’s title chase but for the overall excitement of the league. As the season unfolds, fans will keep a close watch on how these injuries will shape the rosters and impact team dynamics across the NHL.
