It's unclear when or how Petry suffered the injury, but he was unable to join his teammates for the third period. We can expect to receive an update on the injury prior to the Red Wings' game against the Predators on Saturday.

Barkov suffered the injury late in the third period of Thursday's game after falling feet first into the boards and appeared to be unable to put any weight on his right leg while being helped off the ice. We can expect to get an update on the injury prior to Florida's game in Buffalo on Saturday.

Bobrovsky was unspectacular in the Panthers' season-opening 6-4 win over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday but was good enough to secure the victory, saving 24 of 28 shots (.857 SV%). The 36-year-old Bobrovsky is coming off his best season in nearly a decade, finishing third in Vezina-trophy voting and posting a solid 2.37 GAA and .915 SV% in 58 games (36-17-4). Bobrovsky will return to the crease for the Panthers on Thursday in a matchup against the Ottawa Senators, where they are -133 road favorites.

Entwistle was a member of the Chicago Blackhawks for the first four seasons of his NHL career and will likely begin his 2024-25 campaign with the Charlotte Checkers (AHL) after being sent down on Wednesday. In 193 career games, all with the Blackhawks, Entwistle has 35 points (15G / 20A).

Verhaeghe has established himself as one of the premier goal scorers in the NHL and has been rewarded with an eight-year, $56 million contract extension. Over the past two seasons, in addition to some clutch playoff performances, the 29-year-old Verhaeghe has tallied 145 points (76G / 69A) and 521 shots in 157 regular-season games. He is currently suiting up on the top line and top powerplay unit for the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers.

Nosek suffered an upper-body injury in a September preseason contest and remains week-to-week. Nosek signed a one-year contract with the Panthers in the offseason after spending last season with the New Jersey Devils, scoring six points (2G / 4A) in 36 games.

Fresh off their first Stanley Cup championship, the Panthers will likely turn to Bobrovsky between the pipes in their season opener against the Boston Bruins, a rematch of their second-round playoff matchup. Last season, Bobrovsky touted an impressive 2.37 GAA and .915 SV% in 58 games (36-17-4), his best totals since the 2018-19 season as a member of the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Panthers enter the action on Tuesday as -147 home favorites against the Bruins. That said, Bobrovsky boasts an ugly 3.62 GAA and .891 SV% in 21 career games against the Bruins (4-11-4), his lowest totals against any club.

Samoskevich has been dealing with an upper-body injury since the beginning of training camp but was cleared to join practice on Wednesday. Head coach Paul Maurice said he expects Samoskevich to be full contact by Friday and make his pre-season debut on Saturday.

Samoskevich has been dealing with an upper-body injury throughout training camp but was a limited participant on Tuesday.

Florida has officially had its first preseason injury causality after it was announced Tuesday that Tomas Nosek will be out week-to-week after suffering an upper-body injury in Nashville on Sunday. It is an unfortunate start to the 32-year-old's time in Florida after signing a one-year, $775,000 contract in the offseason. In 36 games with New Jersey in 2023-24, he had two goals, six points, 38 SOG and a -11 plus/minus.

Marchand underwent elbow, groin and abdominal surgeries in the offseason and is still getting up to speed.

The Flames are down to one final RFA (Ilya Soloyev) after they signed Cole Schwindt to a one-year, two-way contract worth $800,000 on Wednesday. The 23-year-old has appeared in seven NHL games across the last two seasons but has yet to pick up his first career NHL point. He spent the majority of the 2023-24 season with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) and had 14 goals, and 36 points in 66 games played.

New Jersey solidified their forward depth on Monday as they signed 23-year-old left-winger Nolan Foote to a one-year, two-way contract extension. The 6'3" winger was Tampa Bay's 2019 1st-round pick (27th overall) but has failed to ever truly crack the Devils roster as he has appeared in seven or fewer games in each of the Devils' last four seasons. In 2023-24, he had a goal and six SOG while averaging 10:06 TOI in four games and yet another short showing with New Jersey.

Lundell was a massive piece in Florida's first-ever Stanley Cup victory with 17 points (3G/14A) in 24 playoff games and has earned himself a six-year extension worth $30.0 million ($5.0M AAV). The 22-year-old was Florida's 2020 1st round pick (12th overall) and has 112 points (43G/69A) in 216 career games played in three seasons.

Entwistle will return to Chicago for a fifth season after signing a one-year, two-way contract extension with the Blackhawks on Tuesday. The 24-year-old has yet to surpass 12+ points in any of his four NHL seasons but had five goals, 11 points, 47 PIMs and a -29 plus/minus in 67 games played in 2023-24.

Studnicka will join his fourth team in six seasons after he agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with Los Angeles on Monday. The 25-year-old Windsor native has six goals and 16 points in 107 career NHL games. He spent 2023-24 between Vancouver and San Jose and had one goal, no assists, six PIMs and a -12 plus/minus through 22 games played.

Florida continues to fill out its bottom six after signing Jesper Boqvist to a one-year deal on Monday. The 25-year-old has five years of NHL experience under his belt but struggled to produce in his first season in Boston in 2023-24 with just six goals and 14 points in 47 games played.

Florida added some grit on Monday as it signed A.J. Greer to a two-year contract worth $1.7 million ($850K AAV). The 27-year-old left-winger tied his career high in points (12) in 2023-24 with Calgary, picking up six goals, 12 points, and 35 PIMs in 59 games played.
