Dowd (upper body) is not on the ice for warmups and is not expected to play Wednesday versus the Oilers, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dowd is reportedly banged up and will sit out the first half of a back-to-back at a minimum. It's a tough on-ice loss for the Capitals, as Dowd's defensive instincts will be missed against the Oilers' top players. Sonny Milano will draw into the lineup Wednesday, while Dowd will try to be ready for Thursday's game in Montreal.

Laczynski was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Wednesday, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

EDGE Analysis

Laczytcnski was a healthy scratch in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rangers after being recalled from the minors. He has four goals and 13 points in 13 outings with Henderson this year, but hasn't made his NHL season debut yet.

Fisker Molgaard was recalled from AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Fisker Molgaard's promotion could see him make his NHL debut during the Kraken's three-game road trip, though he could also serve as a healthy scratch. In 14 games for the Firebirds this year, the 20-year-old center has tallied three goals and seven helpers. Even if the Dane doesn't make his debut this time around, he should see NHL action sooner rather than later after being selected by the team in the second round of the 2023 NHL Draft.

Eller (undisclosed) will be sidelined for Thursday's matchup with Anaheim, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eller appears to be dealing with an injury, which prompted the recall of Stephen Halliday from AHL Belleville on Tuesday. Ottawa hasn't released a clear timeline for Eller's return. The veteran center hasn't earned a point in his last seven outings, during which he's managed a paltry four shots. With Eller on the shelf, Halliday looks poised to make his NHL debut against the Ducks.

Warren was called up from AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Alexander Romanov (upper body) was put on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Warren has two goals and nine points in 10 appearances with Bridgeport this season. He also has two assists in two outings with New York.

Romanov (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given the force at which Romanov collided with the boards after a hit from behind courtesy of Mikko Rantanen, it would have been quite the surprise to see Romanov avoid missing any time. With the move to IR, the 25-year-old defenseman will be sidelined at least the next three games, though it could certainly be longer.

Tarasenko (lower body) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Carolina, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko remains day-to-day due to his lower-body injury, and he'll be unavailable for a third consecutive matchup Wednesday. His next opportunity to suit up will be against Pittsburgh, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be available.

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 he 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 12 shots on net and two blocks. Despite missing four games this season, Garland should still be capable of challenging for the 50-point threshold this year.
