NHL Player News

Ferraro (ankle) is playing in the Sharks' scrimmage Thursday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Ferraro's injured ankle didn't need offseason surgery, and it appears that he is back to 100 percent ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. During the scrimmage, Ferraro was paired with Timothy Liljegren, which could be a sign that the duo will link up for the upcoming campaign. For his part, Ferraro should be capable of producing between 15-20 points but provides the bulk of his fantasy value in hits and blocks.

Tucker (lower body) was skating with Colton Parayko during Thursday's training camp session, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

Tucker was injured back in April and briefly returned during the playoffs before getting hurt again. Pairing with Parayko, if it carries into the regular season, would likely bode well for Tucker's offensive upside, as he figures to pick up an extra assist here and there just being on the ice with the veteran. If Tucker can stay healthy and be an NHL regular, he could put up 20-plus points this year.

Lauzon (lower body) is healthy for the start of training camp, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Thursday.

Lauzon missed the second half of the 2024-25 campaign due to a lower-body injury, but he recovered during the offseason and should be ready to contribute for his new team in 2025-26. He was traded to the Golden Knights from the Predators during the offseason and will likely handle a bottom-four role in Vegas. The 28-year-old recorded an assist, 127 hits, 37 PIM and 34 blocked shots over 28 regular-season appearances last year.

Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said that Slavin didn't skate Thursday since he was "a little sore," Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Slavin has appeared in at least 80 regular-season games in each of the last two seasons, most recently logging six goals, 21 assists, 136 blocked shots and 21 hits while averaging 21:34 of ice time over 80 regular-season outings last year. Brind'Amour said Thursday that Slavin won't go until he's 100 percent healthy, but it seems unlikely that his soreness will limit his regular-season availability.

Josi (concussion) is healthy and available for the start of training camp, TSN reports Thursday.

Josi missed the end of last season due to a concussion, and he was later diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. However, he worked with experts during the offseason to manage his diagnosis, and he feels good to begin training camp. The 35-year-old was limited to just 53 regular-season appearances last year, and while he could get some occasional nights off during the 2025-26 campaign to manage his workload, it wouldn't be surprising to see him bounce back.

The Flyers announced Thursday that Bonk (upper body) is considered day-to-day.

The Flyers indicated earlier this week that Bonk is dealing with an upper-body injury, and it wasn't clear whether he'd be cleared for contact by the start of training camp. It appears as though he'll have some limitations to begin camp, but his day-to-day designation suggests that his injury is considered relatively minor. If he can return to full health early in training camp, the 20-year-old could have an opportunity to compete for a spot on the Opening Night roster.

The Canadiens announced Thursday that Jacobs is rehabbing a small injury, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

Jacobs hasn't appeared in an NHL game since the 2019-20 season, and his ailment to begin training camp this year could hinder his chance of earning a spot on the Canadiens' Opening Night roster. He made 26 appearances with AHL Laval last season and recorded a goal, four assists and 14 PIM. If he's left off the Canadiens' roster to begin the regular season, he'll likely head back to the minors.

Fehervary was skating in a non-contact jersey Thursday for precautionary reasons, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Fehervary suffered a knee injury late in the 2024-25 regular season and was unavailable for the playoffs. However, he resumed skating during the offseason and was expected to be ready for training camp. It's not yet clear whether Thursday's limitations were related to his knee issue, but it certainly seems possible that he'll be deemed healthy in time for Opening Night.

Reid is missing from training camp Thursday due to an upper-body injury, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.

Reid was almost certainly going to head back to OHL Kitchener for the upcoming season, but any missed days due to injury are only going to further cement his status as an OHL player. Selected by the Preds in the first round of the 2025 NHL Draft, Reid notched 14 goals and 40 helpers in 67 regular-season tilts for the Rangers before adding five assists in 14 playoff contests.

Miller (upper body) took the ice in a non-contact jersey at training camp Thursday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

It seems Miller hasn't fully recovered from offseason surgery to address an upper-body issue. There hasn't been any indication from the team that this problem will linger into the regular season, but it's certainly something fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on. Last season, the 25-year-old Minnesota native failed to get over the 30-point threshold but should be capable of achieving that mark if he avoids any lengthy stints on the sideline.
