Justin Danforth has been placed on injured reserve with a torn labrum

Danforth suffered the upper-body injury in Columbus' 6-3 loss over Pittsburgh Saturday. He was not in the lineup for their 5-1 victory against the New York Rangers on Sunday. He is expected to miss approximately six months as he recovers from surgery for a torn labrum. It is very unfortunate news as the 29-year-old was enjoying a nice start to the season as he had two goals and three points off 10 shots in six games played for the Blue Jackets.

Georgiev will start Tuesday in New York.

Georgiev returns to New York for a revenge game after winning his last outing Sunday off a strong 33-save effort (.943 SV%) in a 3-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. The Avs netminder has yet to lose in regulation (3-0-1) in his brief Colorado career while producing an average .908 SV% and 2.75 GAA for the 3-2-1 Avalanche. They will head to New York to take on a Rangers team that lost 5-1 to Columbus their last time out but loves to get pucks on net as they rank seventh in the NHL in SOG (35.3).

Norris is expected to miss "at least a couple of weeks" with a shoulder injury.

Norris left Saturday's game vs. the Coyotes with a shoulder injury and is expected to be sidelined for at least a few weeks. The Senators are still waiting on his MRI results, so they don't have a definitive timeline, but he's expected to be out for multiple weeks at the very least.

Norris (shoulder) is not expected to play on Monday.

Norris left Saturday's game with a shoulder injury and did not return. The Senators have yet to provide an update on Norris' status because they need to wait for the swelling to subside before further evaluation. Because of that, it's highly unlikely that Norris will be available for Monday's game vs. the Stars. Expect Shane Pinto to play an expanded role in Norris' absence, and Derick Brassard could make his season debut in the bottom-6.

Jordan Greenway will make his season debut Thursday

Greenway will make his season debut Thursday lining up alongside Joel Eriksson Ek and Marcus Foligno. The 25-year-old underwent offseason surgery on an upper-body injury and was expected to miss 5-10 games, making his return after three games a nice surprise for the struggling Wild.

Georgiev will start Wednesday vs. the Jets.

Georgiev will man the crease for the Avalanche as they take on the Winnipeg Jets at home Wednesday. Georgiev is starting his second contest in as many games after stopping 36 of 39 shots in a victory over the Wild on Monday. The 26-year-old will hope to keep his undefeated record in tact as he encouragingly takes the crease for the third time this season.

Jack Quinn will be out of the lineup Tuesday as a Healthy Scratch.

Head coach Don Granato claimed "He won't be out long" in reference to 21-year-old Jack Quinn being left out of the lineup Tuesday. The 2020 No.8 overall pick has struggled to find ice time early on this season averaging 10:29 TOI through his first two games while putting up zero points.

Georgiev is expected to start Monday in Minnesota.

Georgiev will likely start Monday as the Avalanche head to Minnesota for a battle of Central division rivals. Georgiev had a shakey first start in Colorado's opening night 5-2 win over Chicago, allowing two goals on 17 shots while ultimately securing the victory. He will be looking to add another victory to the win column as he battles Pavel Francouz for starts all season in the Avalanche crease.

Timmins left Saturday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return.

Timmins has had an atrocious time trying to stay healthy since being drafted No.32 overall in 2017. Last season he was limited to just six games and is hurt just two games in 2022-23. Consider him questionable to play Monday until the Coyotes provide more details on his status.

Georgiev led the Colorado Avalanche onto the ice for warm-ups Wednesday

Georgiev will get his first start as a member of the Stanley Cup-winning Colorado Avalanche Wednesday in Chicago. The Avalanche's new netminder will draw the first start of back-to-back games as the Avalanche play Calgary on Thursday. The 26-year-old will be looking to prove he deserves the fantasy-rich number-one spot in Colorado after posting a .898 SV% while backing up with the Rangers in 2021-22.

The Sabres have signed Mattias Samuelsson to a seven-year contract worth $30.0 million ($4.29M AAV).

Samuelsson gets a huge extension despite only appearing in 52 NHL games over the last two seasons. The 2018 No.32 overall pick had 10 assists in 42 games last season and projects to be a huge part of the Sabres' blueline this season, skating with Rasmussen Dahlin at 5v5.
