NHL Player News

Rielly (upper body) won't play versus the Devils on Tuesday.

Rielly's injury was reported earlier Tuesday, and it will cost him at least one game. Simon Benoit will draw into the lineup, while Rielly's next chance to play is Thursday versus the Capitals.

Gustafsson (upper body) will not be an option versus Philadelphia on Tuesday, per NHL.com.

Gustafsson will be out of the lineup for just the second time this season. In his 70 appearances this year, the 32-year-old blueliner has managed six goals and 24 assists, including nine power-play points. Without Gustafsson in the lineup, Brandon Scanlin is expected to make his NHL debut.

Gudas (upper body) did not travel with the team and won't play Tuesday versus Seattle, according to Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune.

If Gudas doesn't join the Ducks at some point during the team's five-game road trip, he could be out until April 5 versus the Kraken. The 33-year-old blueliner hasn't played since March 14 due to his upper-body issue. Gudas has compiled six goals, 16 points, 124 PIM, 142 blocked shots and 213 hits in 60 appearances this season.

Evans (lower body) won't play Tuesday against Anaheim, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports.

Evans is considered day-to-day with his lower-body injury, so he likely won't be sidelined for long. The 22-year-old rookie has picked up eight points, five of which have come on the power play, through 25 contests this season.

Dunn (upper body) remains day-to-day and won't play Tuesday against Anaheim, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports.

Dunn will miss a 10th straight game Tuesday, but the fact that he's now considered day-to-day suggests he could be ready to return sooner rather than later. Justin Schultz will likely continue to skate on the No. 1 power-play unit until Dunn, who's racked up 45 points through 57 contests this season, is ready to return.

Brown (illness) will return to action Tuesday against Columbus, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.

Brown should return to a third-pairing role following his one-game absence. He's picked up six points and 64 PIM through 40 contests this season.

Walman (lower body) won't play against Washington on Tuesday, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

Walman was hoping to be available against the Capitals, so although he'll miss a fourth straight game Tuesday, his absence might not last much longer. He's collected 12 goals, 21 points and 150 blocks through 61 contests this season.

Petry (illness) will play Tuesday versus the Capitals, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

Petry is expected to skate on the second pairing against Washington. He's tallied 19 points through 62 games this campaign.

Edmundson (undisclosed) is expected to miss the next three games, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Edmundson's tallied just six points through 51 games split between Washington and Toronto this season, so his absence shouldn't impact any fantasy lineups. Connor Timmins could see regular usage until Edmundson is ready to return.

Rielly (undisclosed) "hasn't been ruled out fully" for Tuesday night's game versus the Devils, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Rielly's status against New Jersey could boil down to a game-time decision. Simon Benoit could draw into the lineup Tuesday if Rielly is unable to go.
