Trudeau (upper body) was placed on injured reserve and is considered week-to-week, the team announced Friday.

Trudeau has no points, two shots, three hits and two blocks in three outings this season. He exited Thursday's 5-2 win over Montreal because of the injury. Jack Ahcan, who has been a healthy scratch in two of Nashville's four games, is likely to play more regularly while Trudeau is on the shelf.

Solovyov was put on waivers by Pittsburgh on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Solovyov made Pittsburgh's Opening Night roster, but he was a healthy scratch for the Penguins' first four games. He's expected to be sent to the minors to get playing time if he goes unclaimed. The 26-year-old had a goal and eight points in 30 regular-season appearances between Colorado and Pittsburgh in 2025-26.

Stanley recorded two assists, two hits, three blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Stanley was left unsigned late into the preseason before inking a one-year deal with the Islanders. That signing looks to be beneficial for the team, who will be without Alexander Romanov for 6-8 months following a torn ACL that required surgery. Stanley slotted into Romanov's usual top-pairing slot alongside Matthew Schaefer for Thursday's contest. Through four games, Stanley has four assists, two shots on net, 11 hits, eight blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-4 rating. He had a career-high 26 points in 76 regular-season outings between Winnipeg and Buffalo last year, and if he continues to be a top-pairing option, he could get back in that neighborhood this year.

Miller scored a goal and added two PIM in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Canucks.

Miller set the tone in this blowout win, scoring just 1:18 into the game. The 26-year-old defenseman has a goal, an assist, four shots on net, five hits, seven blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-2 rating over five appearances this season. He's in a top-four role at even strength, but his power-play usage has fluctuated as he competes with Sean Walker for a spot on the second unit.

Morrissey (upper body) will not be in action versus Anaheim on Friday but is still considered day-to-day, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Through four games this season, Morrissey has registered three assists and 12 shots but has yet to find the back of the net. With the 31-year-old blueliner on the shelf, Haydn Fleury is expected to see minutes with the No. 2 power-play unit, while Tyrel Bauer will step back into the lineup.

Severson (shoulder) has been added to the Devils' roster ahead of Friday's clash with the Penguins, per the NHL media site.

Severson is set to make his season debut for the Jackets after missing the opening two outings. Last year, the veteran defenseman notched eight goals and 24 assists, including four power-play points, in 71 regular-season tilts while averaging 21:04 of ice time.

Roy (lower body) won't play in Friday's game against the Rangers, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Roy will be unavailable for a second consecutive game due to a lower-body injury he sustained during Saturday's loss to the Lightning. However, head coach Spencer Carbery said Friday that Roy is "coming along" and remains day-to-day. Roy hasn't yet resumed skating on his own, so it's not yet clear whether he'll be in the mix to suit up for Sunday's game against Seattle.

Josi tallied two assists, including one on the power play, placed two shots on goal and recorded two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

Josi picked up his first multi-point game of the 2026-27 season Thursday. He slid the primary helper on Ryan O'Reilly's game-winning goal on a power play late in the third period before adding an assist on Adam Edstrom's second empty-net goal. Across four games this season, the 36-year-old Josi is up to four assists, five points, six shots on net, four hits and six blocked shots. As long as the 16-year NHL veteran can stay healthy, he's poised to be a top-20 blueliner in fantasy with an offensive ceiling that could have him ranked in the top-half of that range by the end of the new season.

Gostisbehere produced two power-play assists in Thursday's 7-2 rout of Vancouver.

Both helpers came in the first period on Andrei Svechnikov tallies as the defending Stanley Cup champs built a 3-0 lead before the 10-minute mark. Gostisbehere has a three-game point streak going that has seen him collect a goal and four points, all on the power play, as he looks to repeat last season's impressive showing of 50 points (13 goals, 37 assists) in just 55 regular-season contests.

Walker piled up four assists, one on the power play and one shorthanded, in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Canucks.

The veteran defenseman has helpers in every period, including on a K'Andre Miller tally just 78 seconds into the first period that got the rout rolling. Walker had been held without a point in the first four games of the season, but he's been contributing in other ways and has nine blocked shots, eight shots on net, six hits, six PIM and a minus-2 rating to begin the campaign.
