The Canucks announced Wednesday that Blueger (lower body) suffered a setback in his recovery and hopes to resume skating in the coming days, David Quadrelli of CanucksArmy.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Canucks indicated Sunday that Blueger had resumed skating, but he'll require a few days to rest after experiencing his setback. Assuming he's able to resume skating in the coming days, it seems as though he'll still be in the mix to return to game action sometime in late November or early December.

McAvoy has undergone facial surgery, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

There's no timetable for McAvoy's return, but it seems fair to believe that he'll be out for a while after having surgery. The 27-year-old defenseman has 14 assists, 26 PIM, 25 shots, 26 hits and 32 blocks in 27 outings this year. Jonathan Aspirot might play regularly during McAvoy's absence.

Garland (undisclosed) will be in action versus the Stars on Thursday, David Quadrelli of Canucks Army reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garland was sidelined against the Panthers on Monday due to his undisclosed injury but won't miss any additional time. In his last six outings, the 29-year-old forward has found the back of the net twice while chipping in zero assists, 12 shots and two blocks while averaging 18:43 of ice time. Despite having missed four games this year, Garland should still be capable of challenging for the 50-point threshold this year.

Korpisalo will defend the road crease against Anaheim on Wednesday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Korpisalo has seen limited playing time this season, but he's picked up wins in three of his last four outings, posting a 2.69 GAA and .907 save percentage during that time. He started at home against the Ducks on Oct. 23 and allowed six goals on 29 shots in a loss.

Hartman (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

By shifting Hartman to injured reserve, the Wild opened up a roster spot for Hunter Haight. In terms of replacing Hartman, it looks like Danila Yurov will get the first crack at the top-line role, though Joel Eriksson Ek should also be in the mix. Prior to getting hurt, Hartman was struggling offensively, as he was stuck in a seven-game goal drought during which he generated one assist and a mere five shots.

Haight was recalled by the Wild on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Haight made two appearances for Minnesota earlier this year and was held without a point with two hits while averaging 9:22 of ice time. He'll provide additional depth for the Wild after Ryan Hartman (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Kuemper is slated to start at home against Boston on Friday, per John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio.

EDGE Analysis

Kuemper won't be in the lineup Thursday in San Jose so that he can rest for Friday's game. He has a 7-4-3 record, 2.42 GAA and .904 save percentage in 14 appearances this season. Kuemper had a 1-0-1 record while stopping 35 of 39 shots (.897 save percentage) in two outings versus the Bruins during the 2024-25 regular season.

Copley was summoned from AHL Ontario on Wednesday, per John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio.

EDGE Analysis

Copley has a 3.84 GAA and an .870 save percentage in seven appearances with Ontario this year. Darcy Kuemper won't travel with the team for Thursday's game in San Jose, which keeps him fresh for Friday's home tilt against Boston. Copley will instead serve as the backup goaltender Thursday, while Anton Forsberg is expected to get the start.

Forsberg is expected to be between the pipes on the road against San Jose on Thursday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Forsberg will be making his seventh appearance in the crease, having gone 3-22-1 with a 2.96 GAA and one shutout in his last six outings. With the Kings heading into a back-to-back, the team will let Darcy Kuemper skip the trip to San Jose, which means Pheonix Copley will serve as the No. 2 option versus the Sharks.

Poehling (upper body) isn't expected to return Wednesday versus Boston, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

EDGE Analysis

Anaheim is expected to deploy the same lineup that earned a 3-2 overtime victory over Utah on Monday. Poehling has a goal, six points, four PIM, seven hits and 13 blocks in 16 appearances this year. He hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 11.
