Meanwhile, the Calgary Flames are concerned about Jonathan Huberdeau's status as he navigates through an off-season recovery process. Both teams are eager to see how these injuries will influence their roster, especially with the competitive nature of the upcoming season.

In Edmonton, the Oilers are monitoring Connor McDavid's condition closely after he was seen on the ice but still appears to be dealing with a minor ailment. His fitness will be crucial if they aim for a deeper playoff run. Similarly, the Florida Panthers are watching Aleksander Barkov, whose return from a recent knee injury remains uncertain. Fans and management alike are hopeful for a swift recovery, as his presence is vital for the team’s success.

The New Jersey Devils are also in the spotlight, with Jack Hughes still fighting his way back from a lingering injury. His absence was felt last season, and the Devils are prioritizing his health as they strive to improve their standings.
