Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski is out on a week-to-week basis with a lower-body injury, coach Pascal Vincent said Thursday.

Werenski was injured in the second period of Wednesday night's overtime loss to the Devils when he got tangled up with New Jersey forward Ondrej Palat. Werenski left the game unable to put any weight on his left leg.

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Sean Kuraly was released from a local hospital after he went down with an abdominal injury in Saturday's 4-1 home loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, the team announced Sunday.

Anaheim Ducks rookie forward Leo Carlsson will be out for four to six weeks with a sprained right knee ligament.

The Ducks announced the extent of the injury for the No. 2 overall pick in last summer's draft before they hosted the Seattle Kraken on Saturday night in their final game before the holiday break.

After missing 20 games with a lower-body injury, Anaheim Ducks forward Trevor Zegras will return to the lineup Saturday against the Seattle Kraken.

The No. 9 overall pick in the 2019 draft, Zegras moved into the No. 1 center role between Alex Killorn and Troy Terry at practice Friday. He took the spot of 2023 No. 2 overall pick Leo Carlsson, who suffered an apparent lower-body injury Thursday and was still being evaluated as of Friday.

The defending Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights will be without goalies Adin Hill and Logan Thompson for Thursday night's game at the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Nolan Patrick, the No. 2 pick in the 2017 NHL draft, appears to have ended his playing career at age 25.

Plagued by a migraine disorder, Patrick last appeared in a game with the Vegas Golden Knights in March 2022.

Reports of his retirement surfaced Tuesday after The Power Play, a hockey coaching and mentorship program, announced his employment as a skills specialist and video coach in an Instagram post.

The post referred to Patrick as a "retired pro with significant NHL experience."

Buffalo Sabres forward Jack Quinn could make his return from a ruptured Achilles on Tuesday, coach Don Granato said Monday.

The Sabres host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night.

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Patrik Laine will be off the ice for six weeks because of a fractured clavicle, the team said Friday.

He suffered the injury Thursday night in a 6-5 win over the Maple Leafs when Toronto defenseman William Lagesson tripped him during the second period.

Laine, 25, missed nine games earlier this season because of a concussion.

Seattle Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer was placed on injured reserve Sunday, the team announced.

Grubauer (lower body) and defenseman Justin Schultz (upper body) both left Saturday night's 4-3 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. The goalie stopped 21 of 23 shots before exiting and did not factor into the decision.

In his second game after returning from long-term injured reserve, Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot suffered a leg injury and will miss a minimum of four weeks, per a TSN report Thursday.

The oft-injured Chabot missed Tuesday's 6-2 win over the visiting New York Rangers after injuring his leg Saturday in a 2-0 home victory over the Seattle Kraken.

Chabot, 26, is expected to land on long-term injured reserve, per a Postmedia report. He won't need surgery, but he will be required to miss 10 games and 24 days.
