In a dramatic turn of events, the NHL injury landscape has heavily impacted teams heading into the final stretch of the season. The Edmonton Oilers, once formidable contenders, are now facing significant challenges due to injuries to key players like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

On the other hand, the Minnesota Wild are experiencing their own rollercoaster with player fitness. Injuries to both offensive and defensive units have tested the team's depth.

Not to be overlooked are the Nashville Predators, who are battling similar issues. With standout performances from Matt Duchene, the Predators are aiming to maintain their playoff position despite dealing with injuries. Their resilience and team spirit are commendable as they rally together in the face of adversity.
Meanwhile, the New York Islanders and the New York Rangers are gearing up for an intense rivalry matchup this weekend. Both teams have been closely monitoring their rosters, hoping for a clean bill of health as they prepare for what promises to be an exhilarating game under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden. As fans eagerly anticipate this clash, the importance of availability and tactical adjustments cannot be overstated, especially with their playoff hopes on the line.
