NHL Status Report: Markstrom out 'a couple of weeks' for Devils

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

New Jersey Devils

Jacob Markstrom will be out "a couple of weeks" for the Devils, coach Sheldon Keefe said. The goalie sustained a lower-body injury after coming in relief of Jake Allen in a 3-2 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday. Markstrom made eight saves after replacing Allen, who was cramping. “[It’s] good news, based on what had happened,” Keefe said. “I don’t consider it to be too serious at this point, but he’s going to have to miss a little bit of time.” New Jersey recalled goalie Nico Daws from Utica of the American Hockey League on Wednesday ahead of their home opener against the Florida Panthers on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; SCRIPPS, MSGSN). Forward Zack MacEwen (upper body) was placed on injured reserve.

Detroit Red Wings

Lucas Raymond did not play in a 4-1 win against the Panthers on Wednesday because of an upper-body injury. He is day to day. The forward originally left a 3-2 win at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday in the second period following a hit from Maple Leafs defenseman Chris Tanev.

Dallas Stars

Matt Duchene (undisclosed) is day to day but has not been ruled out to play against the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday (8 p.m. ET; Victory+, SN1). The forward left the Stars' 5-2 win against the Minnesota Wild at 2:19 of the third period after a hit from defenseman Jake Middleton. Duchene has one goal and one assist in three games.

Columbus Blue Jackets

Miles Wood will be out at least a week for the Blue Jackets. The forward took a high stick to the face from Devils defenseman Dougie Hamilton during a 3-2 loss Monday. Wood has one goal in three games this season, his first with Columbus since being acquired in a trade from the Colorado Avalanche on June 27.

Los Angeles Kings

Anze Kopitar and Darcy Kuemper are each day to day for the Kings because of a lower-body injury. Kopitar, a center, had an assist in 19:39 of ice time in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild on Monday. Kuemper, a goalie, made 23 saves in that game. Los Angeles recalled goalie Erik Portillo from Ontario of the AHL on an emergency basis ahead of their game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday (10 p.m. ET; FDSNW, SN-PIT). The Kings also acquired goalie Pheonix Copley from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday for future considerations.

New York Rangers

Will Borgen did not practice Wednesday because of a lower-body injury. The defenseman played 20:32 in a 2-0 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. Defenseman Scott Morrow was recalled by the Rangers from Hartford of the AHL on Wednesday ahead of their game at Toronto on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; TSN4, MSG). Forward Vincent Trocheck (upper body) was placed on long-term injured reserve; he will have to miss 10 games and 24 days and has missed three games so far.

Philadelphia Flyers

Cam York could make his season debut against the Winnipeg Jets at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; NBCSP, TSN3). The Flyers defenseman missed the first three games of the season because of a lower-body injury. York practiced for the third straight day Wednesday, but for the first time alongside his regular defense partner Travis Sanheim. "It's day to day," coach Rick Tocchet said. "He's possible. We haven't penciled him yet but we'll talk tomorrow."

San Jose Sharks

Defensemen Timothy Liljegren (upper body) and John Klingberg (lower body) are each day to day for the Sharks, who next play against the Utah Mammoth on Friday (9 p.m. ET; HULU, ESPN+).
