The NHL injury report reveals significant updates for several teams as the season progresses. The Buffalo Sabres are facing a tough start as they're missing key players, including their star center, Jack Eichel, who’s sidelined due to a lingering injury. The team has struggled to find consistency without him, impacting their offensive dynamics and pressure in the Eastern Conference.
Meanwhile, the Calgary Flames are also feeling the weight of injuries, particularly with their goaltender, Jacob Markstrom, dealing with a lower-body injury. His absence has raised concerns about the team's defensive stability, prompting discussions about potential call-ups to strengthen their lineup. The Flames are hopeful for his return soon to regain crucial points in the standings.
In the Central Division, the Chicago Blackhawks continue to navigate challenges with their roster. Notably, winger Patrick Kane is recovering from a recent injury and is expected to return to action shortly. His experience and scoring ability are critical for the team's playoff aspirations as they vie for a competitive edge in a tightly contested division.
Additionally, the New Jersey Devils and Edmonton Oilers are also dealing with their own injury woes, affecting their lineup depth as they prepare for upcoming matchups.

Doctors are monitoring Hughes closely, and his condition will determine their next steps. The Oilers also have concerns with their forwards, specifically Leon Draisaitl, who is managing some minor ailments but is expected to be game-ready in no time.
