NHL Status Report: Heiskanen doubtful for Stars

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

Dallas Stars

Miro Heiskanen is doubtful to play for the Stars against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday (8 p.m. ET; Prime Video, NBCSCA). The defenseman did not play in a 2-1 shootout loss at the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday. He left early in the second period of a 6-5 win at the Washington Capitals on Tuesday after he was hit into the boards by Justin Sourdif. After Saturday, the Stars don't play again until Nov. 12. "If he's ready tomorrow, we would use him, but I think that's doubtful. We'll see," coach Glen Gulutzan said Friday. "If he's not ready for tomorrow, those four days are really going to help." Heiskanen has 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in 15 games and is averaging 24:53 of ice time per game.

Boston Bruins

James Hagens was placed on injured reserve Saturday with an undisclosed injury. The rookie forward was injured in a 6-2 win at the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday. He left early in the third period after taking a crosscheck to the back from defenseman Samuel Girard. Hagens has 12 points (six goals, six assists) in 17 games this season and is tied for the NHL rookie lead in points. Forward Mikey Eyssimont was recalled from Providence of the American Hockey League ahead of Boston's game against the Florida Panthers on Sunday (1 p.m. ET; SCRIPPS, NHLN, NESN, SN1, TVAS).

Florida Panthers

Anton Lundell will not play for the Panthers at the Washington Capitals on Saturday (12:30 p.m. ET; SCRIPPS, MNMT, SN). The forward is day to day with an undisclosed injury. He has six points (four goals, two assists) in 16 games this season.

Ottawa Senators

Linus Ullmark could return for the Senators against the Utah Mammoth on Saturday (7 p.m. ET; SN1, TVAS-D, NHLN, Utah16, Mammoth+). The goalie has been out since suffering a lower-body strain in a 5-1 win against the Florida Panthers on Oct. 21 and has missed the past seven games. Ullmar practiced fully Friday. "Haven't talked to our medical team yet, but he looked good today, so we'll see where he's at," coach Travis Green said. Ullmark is 7-1-0 with a 1.33 goals-against average and .945 save percentage this season. … Green also said forward Ridly Greig (undisclosed) won't play and will miss his second straight game. He is day to day.

Calgary Flames

Jonathan Huberdeau skated in a regular jersey Friday but remains on injured reserve while recovering from hip surgery. The forward hasn't played since Feb. 4 before being shut down and having surgery in March, causing him to miss the rest of the season. He suffered a setback and has not played this season. "Not reading too much into (the jersey), he's doing what he has to do right now and he's going to be in more of our practices here as we continue moving forward," Flames coach Ryan Huska said. "When you look at a lot of what he does, he's typically the first guy here, last to leave. When you see him check some of the boxes that he's doing right now, you're obviously really happy for him. No timeline."
