Welcome back to the weekly Injury Report where we break down the latest injury news across the NHL and what it means for your fantasy teams. Let’s dive right into the details that could shake up lineups and impact playoff dreams across the league!

Joel Eriksson Ek (MIN)

In a disappointing turn of events, Eriksson Ek departed early from Tuesday's match and has been deemed week-to-week due to a lower body injury. This situation is particularly troubling as he was set to represent Team Sweden in the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.

Rasmus Dahlin (BUF)

Dahlin left the game against Montreal with back spasms, a recurrence of an issue that plagued him during training camp. While a break could rejuvenate him for the long haul, he still plans to play for Sweden in the upcoming tournament, which raises concerns about his long-term health.

Nikolaj Ehlers (WPG)

Ehlers has been sidelined for a week with a lower body injury but was having a standout season prior to his absence, tallying 25 points in 24 games. His role on the top power play this season had been a significant factor in his success, and fantasy managers will be hoping for a swift recovery.

Hampus Lindholm (BOS)

Lindholm has now missed three weeks and appears to be a ways from returning according to head coach Joe Sacco, who stated that he is "not close." This news is a blow for the Bruins, especially after fans expressed their disappointment over his exclusion from Team Sweden's roster for the upcoming tournament.

Ross Colton (COL)

In promising news for Avalanche fans, Colton participated in morning skate wearing a non-contact jersey. His role is crucial with many key players sidelined, and it remains uncertain how the Avalanche will juggle their lines in his potential return.

Yegor Chinakhov (CBJ)

Chinakhov has been labeled as day-to-day following an undisclosed injury and will not travel with the team initially on their five-game road trip.

Tyler Seguin (DAL)

Unfortunately, Seguin's injury news is severe; he's expected to be out four to six months following surgery related to a hip issue. This is a significant blow as he had been a critical scoring option for the Stars, especially alongside Matt Duchene.

Max Domi & Max Pacioretty (TOR)

Both players are absent from the lineup but are rumored to be close to returning. Their contributions will be vital for Toronto as they navigate an already challenging season.

Cam Talbot & Alex Lyon (DET)

Talbot is unavailable until at least the conclusion of the current road trip, while Lyon's absence is projected to be even longer. This creates a considerable gap in Detroit's goaltending lineup as they struggle to maintain consistency.

Samuel Ersson (PHI)

Ersson has returned to full practice, but the pressure will be on him if he’s thrust back into action against Florida on Thursday.

Jake Guentzel (TBL)
