Ducks' Radko Gudas: Likely won't play in Florida
Gudas (lower body) is not expected to be available for Tuesday's road matchup versus the Panthers, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Gudas will likely miss his second game of the season after sitting out Saturday's loss to the Lightning. Ian Moore will remain in a third-pairing role until Gudas is ready to return to the lineup. The 35-year-old's next chance to draw into the lineup will be Friday against Detroit.

Shayne Gostisbehere D | CAR
Hurricanes' Shayne Gostisbehere: Activated Tuesday
Gostisbehere (lower body) has been removed from injured reserve ahead of Tuesday's clash with Vegas, per the NHL media site.
Gostisbehere will not only resume his partnership with Jalen Chatfield, but the former also should be back on the No. 1 power-play unit. In his five games this year, the 32-year-old defenseman has managed one goal, six assists and six shots, including one power-play helper.

Darren Raddysh D | TOR
Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Didn't travel with team
Raddysh stayed back in Tampa Bay for the birth of his child and will miss Tuesday's matchup with Nashville, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Raddysh figures to be back in the lineup when the Bolts return home to face the Stars on Thursday, though that hasn't been officially confirmed. The team went with seven blueliners in their most recent contests, but without Raddysh available, the Lightning will likely reinsert forward Curtis Douglas into the lineup.

Nick Leddy D | SJ
Sharks' Nick Leddy: Moves to IR
Leddy (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
The Sharks recalled Patrick Giles from AHL San Jose in a corresponding move. Leddy will miss his third straight game against the Kings on Tuesday, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to action. He has posted two assists, one shot on goal, 10 blocked shots and two hits across seven appearances this season.

Tom Willander D | VAN
Canucks' Tom Willander: Promoted from AHL
Willander was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Tuesday.
The Canucks are dealing with multiple injuries on the blue line, so Willander might draw into the lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers if Quinn Hughes (lower body) is unable to suit up. The 20-year-old Willander has yet to make his NHL debut, so he'd likely receive sheltered minutes on the third pairing if he's forced into action in the near future.

Derek Forbort D | VAN
Canucks' Derek Forbort: Shifts to LTIR
Forbort (undisclosed) was placed on long-term injured reserve Tuesday.
In corresponding moves, the Canucks put Victor Mancini (upper body) on injured reserve and recalled Tom Willander from AHL Abbotsford. Forbort has already missed the last eight games. He will be eligible to play against Chicago on Nov. 5, but it's unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup.

Victor Mancini D | VAN
Canucks' Victor Mancini: Lands on IR
Mancini (upper body) has been placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Mancini was injured during Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over Edmonton, and he'll now miss at least the next three games. His placement on IR is retroactive to Oct. 26, so he'll be eligible to return to the lineup in Nashville on Monday. If Quinn Hughes (lower body) is unable to play against the Rangers on Tuesday, Tom Willander, who was recalled from AHL Abbotsford, will be an option to draw into the lineup, likely in a third-pairing capacity.

Oskar Back C | DAL
Stars' Oskar Back: Dealing with upper-body injury
Back (upper body) isn't expected to play against Washington on Tuesday, according to Stars beat writer Robert Tiffin.
After missing the first eight games of the season due to an undisclosed injury, Back scored a goal and logged 8:28 of ice time against Nashville on Sunday. However, he is dealing with another injury and is considered day-to-day. With Matt Duchene (upper body) and Roope Hintz (undisclosed) also unavailable, Dallas will probably dress 11 forwards and seven defenseman against the Capitals, with Kyle Capobianco entering Tuesday's lineup.

Zach Bogosian D | MIN
Wild's Zach Bogosian: Not close to returning
Bogosian (lower body) was labeled week-to-week Tuesday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Bogosian was injured against the Capitals on Oct. 17, and he was placed on injured reserve Oct. 21 as a result. The right-shot defenseman has missed five consecutive games after not recording a point across his first five appearances in 2025-26. David Jiricek has been skating on the third pairing due to Bogosian's absence.
-
Michael Kesselring D | SJ
Sabres' Michael Kesselring: In lineup versus Jackets
Kesselring (lower body) will be in action against Columbus on Tuesday, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.
Kesselring's return to the lineup will likely see Jacob Bryson (concussion) given at least one more game to fully recover. In 82 regular-season games for the Mammoth last year, the 25-year-old Kesselring notched seven goals and 22 assists, both career highs, while chipping in just three power-play points.
