Evangelista was a surprise scratch on Wednesday, with the Predators not announcing his absence prior to warmups.

Jones did not play the last two games and will be out of the lineup for approximately four more weeks. Jones was enjoying a semi-productive season with the Blackhawks, averaging 25:43 time-on-ice and scoring 10 points (2G / 8A) in 17 games. Alex Vlasic has been serving as the quarterback on the top powerplay unit in Jones' absence.

Vanecek is not ready to return to the lineup but appears to be making progress. Mackenzie Blackwood started on Monday and will again on Wednesday against the Dallas Stars with Yaroslav Askarov as the backup.

Andrae has played 10 games with the Flyers this season, averaging 18:27 time-on-ice, recording three points (0G / 3A), 13 blocks, and 15 hits. Helge Grans, recalled from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL) on Monday, has been Andrae's replacement in the lineup.

Johnson has not played since October 17th due to an upper-body injury but is expected to return to the lineup on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 22-year-old Johnson showed signs of a true breakout campaign before his injury, with two goals and three assists in his first four games.

Domi will not play on Wednesday due to a lower-body injury but will be eligible to be activated from Injured Reserve before the Maple Leafs' following game on Novemeber 24th against the Utah Hockey Club.

Ovechkin exited Monday's game late in the third period after a knee-on-knee collision with Utah HC's Jack McBain. Ovechkin is listed as week-to-week and the Capitals have recalled Ivan Miroshnichenko from the Hershey Bears (AHL). Before the injury on Monday, Ovechkin had a two-goal game, adding to his impressive start to the 2024-25 campaign with a league-leading 15 goals. The 39-year-old Ovechkin was well on his way to surpassing Wayne Gretzky's all-time goal record (894), only 27 away, a feat that could be jeopardized if he misses extended time.

Ingram was pulled in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Washington Capitals after allowing four goals on 13 shots (.692 SV%). The 27-year-old Ingram, battling an upper-body injury, should not be sidelined for long, but the rest might do him well, as he is sporting an ugly 3.61 GAA and .871 SV% in 13 games (6-4-3). Karel Vejmelka should control Utah HC's crease during Ingram's absence.

Garland was not at the morning skate on Tuesday, with his wife expecting a baby, and will be a game-time decision against the New York Rangers. The Canucks are already without J.T. Miller (personal), and their offense will have trouble adapting if Garland's 13 points (4G / 9A) in 17 games are also absent.

Romanov has missed 10 of the previous 11 games due to an upper-body injury but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Calgary Flames. The 24-year-old Romanov has two points (0G / 2A), 19 blocks, and 14 hits in eight games this season.
