He has not played since Game 6 of Stanley Cup Second Round on June 9, 2021. He had surgery in July to repair a torn labrum in his right hip. … Moore will not play after the defenseman sustained a lower-body injury during the second period of a 5-1 win against the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday. … Lewington will make his season debut. ... Giroux, Konecny, Sanheim, Provorov and Braun each cleared NHL COVID-19 protocol earlier this week and are expected to play. … Brown was placed on injured reserve Wednesday after the forward sustained a sprained MCL in his knee during a 3-2 overtime loss against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday.
