Welcome to the NHL Status Report. Here is the latest lineup/injury news around the NHL.

Pittsburgh Penguins

Tristan Jarry will be out a minimum of three weeks for the Penguins with a lower-body injury after the goalie made 16 saves in a 4-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday. Jarry is 5-2-0 with a 2.60 goals-against average, .911 save percentage and one shutout in seven starts. ... Justin Brazeau, a forward who has missed the past two games, will be out a minimum of four weeks with an upper-body injury. ... Noel Acciari will be out a minimum of three weeks with an upper-body injury; the forward played two shifts against the Maple Leafs before leaving the game. ... Forward Danton Heinen, defenseman Ryan Graves and goalie Sergei Murashov were recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League on Tuesday. Pittsburgh hosts the Washington Capitals on Thursday (7:30 p.m. ET; HULU, ESPN+, SN).

Toronto Maple Leafs

Scott Laughton (lower body) was activated off injured reserve and made his season debut playing 10:57 in a 5-3 win against the Utah Mammoth on Wednesday. Forward Easton Cowan was sent to Toronto of the AHL. ... Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube said goalie Joseph Woll is close to playing for the first time this season. Woll took a leave of absence for personal reasons on Sept. 23 and returned to practice on Oct. 28.

Washington Capitals

Rasmus Sandin (upper body) returned to the lineup and had an assist in 16:58 in a 6-1 win against the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday. The defenseman missed five games and had been practicing in a noncontact jersey. … Pierre-Luc Dubois (lower body) will be out long term but is expected to return this season; the center came back from injury for three games but was injured again during the first period of a 3-1 loss to the New York Islanders on Friday. "No, we do not think it's going to be season-ending, just an extended period of time at this point," Capitals coach Spencer Carbery said Tuesday.

San Jose Sharks

Michael Misa (lower-body injury) did not play against the Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena on Wednesday after leaving the morning skate early. The forward chosen with the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NHL Draft has three points (one goal, two assists) in seven games and was a healthy scratch for a 3-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings in San Jose on Sunday. Adam Gaudette returned after missing four games with an upper-body injury. He skated at second-line right wing with Philipp Kurashev and Alexander Wennberg, which moved Jeff Skinner to left wing on the third line, where Misa was at center before departing.

Vancouver Canucks

Conor Garland returned against the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday. The forward missed three games for the Canucks because of an undisclosed injury.

Buffalo Sabres

Tyson Kozak could return to play against the Blues at KeyBank Center in Buffalo on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; FDSNMW, MSG-B) after missing six games with a lower-body injury. He took part in his first full practice with the Sabres on Wednesday, in his usual place as the center on the fourth line with Beck Malenstyn and Josh Dunne, after rejoining the team Tuesday for an optional morning skate. ... Mattias Samuelsson was given the day off from practice, coach Lindy Ruff said, and the defenseman is expected in the lineup Thursday. He was plus-1 in 21:17 of a 2-1 overtime loss to the Mammoth on Tuesday. ... Josh Norris (upper body) has began staking on his own, but there's no timetable for the forward's return. "He's not in that feeling great category yet, but he's feeling better," Ruff said. Norris has missed 12 games since the season opener, a 4-0 loss to the New York Rangers in Buffalo on Oct. 9. ... Forwards Jiri Kulich (ear issue) and Jason Zucker (illness) did not play against Utah. The latter was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Carolina Hurricanes

K'Andre Miller could make his return against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; FDSNWI, FDSNNO, FDSNSO). The Hurricanes defenseman missed his sixth straight game Tuesday, a 3-0 win against the Rangers, because of a lower-body injury. Coach Rod Brind'Amour said Miller should be able to play, but they won't know until after the morning skate.

Anaheim Ducks

Ryan Strome (upper body) participated in a morning skate for the first time this season on Tuesday, but the forward missed his 12th straight game in a 7-3 win against the Florida Panthers. Strome, who is on injured reserve and hasn't played this season, will travel with the Ducks on their two-game road trip that begins at the Dallas Stars on Thursday and concludes at the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday.

Detroit Red Wings

Patrick Kane could return to practice for the Red Wings on Thursday. The forward has not played since he sustained an upper-body injury after slamming into the boards late in a 2-1 overtime win against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Oct. 17. He missed his ninth straight game Tuesday, a 1-0 loss to the Golden Knights. "There's a real good chance he could skate with us Thursday," Detroit coach Todd McLellan said before the game. "... We'll see where it goes from there."
