After participating in two games in Finland as part of the NHL Global Series, Marchment has returned home with an undisclosed injury.

Jacob Bernard-Docker will be the odd man out of the lineup to welcome Zub's return.
Hague's injury will make room for Ben Hutton's season debut. Hague has one goal and zero assists in nine games this season.
Novak participated fully in warmups and his absence was not announced until just minutes before puck drop. We should expect to receive an update following the completion of Wednesday's game, but it seems likely Novak suffered some sort of injury in warmups.
Joshua is essentially day-to-day at this point, and he should be back in the Canucks lineup sooner than later. In mid-September, the Canucks announced that 28-year-old Dakota Joshua had been diagnosed with testicular cancer and successfully had a tumor removed but would not be ready for the start of training camp. The fifth-year winger is coming off his best season in 2023-24, with 18 goals, 32 points, 60 PIMs, 84 SOG, and a +19 plus/minus through 63 games played.
Forbort played 15:18 time-on-ice in the Canucks' previous game, returning from a six-game absence due to personal reasons, but has suffered a lower-body injury that will keep him out of the lineup for the foreseeable future.

Makar went down awkwardly in the 2nd period of Tuesday's win over Seattle and attempted to return for the 3rd period before leaving for the rest of the game with 15:07 TOI. The 26-year-old is an early leader for Norris Trophy votes with 23 points (5G/18A) in his first 13 games played.
Rust has missed four straight due to a lower-body injury but is nearing a return ahead of Pittsburgh's upcoming two-game road trip. Rust has four points (3G / 1A) and a -7 plus/minus in eight games.

Hayes is battling an upper-body injury and his status for Thursday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes is uncertain. The 32-year-old Hayes has four points (3G / 1A) in 14 games and has been held off the scoresheet in six straight.

McDavid was given a 2-3 week recovery timeline after suffering a lower-body injury on October 28th, but will return on Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights, well ahead of schedule. The 27-year-old McDavid, averaging an absurd 1.7 points per game over the previous four seasons, had begun the 2024-25 campaign off to a slow start by his elite standards, with 10 points (3G / 7A) in 10 games.
Roy exited Washington's season opener after playing only 8:39 time-on-ice and has not played since. The 29-year-old Roy signed a six-year contract with the Capitals in the offseason after spending the first six seasons of his career with the Los Angeles Kings. Roy's elite defensive skills and shot-blocking prowess will surely aid a Capitals club that already ranks seventh-best in the league defensively, allowing 33 goals through 11 games.
Makar went down awkwardly in the 2nd period of Tuesday's win over Seattle and attempted to return for the 3rd period before leaving for the rest of the game with 15:07 TOI. The Avalanche did not provide an update postgame on the extent of their star defensemen's injury but hope it was just a precautionary early pull. The 26-year-old was an early leader for Norris Trophy votes with 23 points (5G/18A) in his first 13 games played.
