NHL Injury Updates & Roster Moves

Defensive depth across the league faced immediate adjustments as the Colorado Avalanche confirmed forward Nazem Kadri will miss an unspecified number of games due to a finger injury, according to coach Jared Bednar. Conversely, the Ottawa Senators are set to welcome back defenseman Thomas Chabot for Thursday's contest against the Panthers, returning just 2½ weeks after suffering a broken arm. Meanwhile, the New Jersey Devils elected to shut down defenseman Luke Hughes to undergo an undisclosed procedure, sidelining the young blueliner indefinitely.

In personnel news, the Minnesota Wild bolstered their defensive corps by signing former UConn standout Viking Gustafsson Nyberg to a two-year, entry-level contract that immediately kicks in for the remainder of the current season, providing organizational depth.
