Player Notes

  • Questionable for Thursday
    Nichushkin is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rangers because of a lower-body injury, per Aarif Deen of Mile High Sports.

    Advice: Nichushkin has 26 goals and 50 points in 48 outings in 2023-24. His injury is not expected to keep him out long term, but if he does miss Thursday's tilt, then Zach Parise might slide into a top-six role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:13 pm
  • Practices in non-contact jersey
    Grundstrom (lower body) practiced in a non-contact jersey Wednesday, per Eric Stephens of The Athletic.

    Advice: It's an encouraging step forward for Grundstrom, who was last in the lineup Feb. 13. He has eight goals, 12 points and 115 hits in 60 games this season. Grundstrom will likely serve on the fourth line once he has recovered from his lower-body injury. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:39 am

  • Contributes helper
    Zary posted an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Blackhawks.

    Advice: The helper was Zary's first point in three games since he returned from an upper-body injury. He's been back in his usual spot alongside Nazem Kadri, so there's still potential for Zary to get his game on track late in the campaign. The 22-year-old rookie has 30 points, 71 shots on net and a plus-16 rating through 53 appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:57 am
  • Nabs assist
    Foegele logged an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

    Advice: Foegele had gone four games without a point prior to Tuesday. The 27-year-old winger set up a Leon Draisaitl tally in the second period. Foegele's best bet for sustained offense is playing on the second line, but the Oilers are still mixing and matching wingers there when Draisaitl centers his own line. Foegele is up to 36 points, 164 shots on net, 77 hits, 45 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 70 appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:48 am
  • Ruled out two more games
    Marner (ankle) will not play either Thursday or Saturday against the Capitals or Sabres, respectively, but he'll practice Friday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

    Advice: Marner's return to practice could open the door for him to get back on the ice versus the Panthers on Monday. Still, with two more matches on the shelf, the 26-year-old winger's missed game total will increase to 10 due to his ankle problem. Prior to getting hurt, Marner was rolling with 19 points in his previous 12 games, including seven power-play points. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:43 am
