NHL Player News

Bussi will start Thursday's road game against the Islanders, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Bussi hasn't appeared in any of the Hurricanes' last five games, but he'll be back in the crease in a favorable matchup Thursday, as the Islanders have generated just 2.79 goals per game this year, which is the seventh-worst mark in the league. Across his six appearances to begin the regular season, Bussi has gone 2-2-2 with a 3.27 GAA and .865 save percentage.

Hall (upper body) is expected to be a game-time decision Thursday versus the Islanders, per Brian Compton of NHL.com.

Hall hasn't played since Oct. 13 because of the injury. He has three goals and five points in eight appearances in 2026-27. Hall will likely serve in a middle-six capacity if he's ready to play, which might result in Nicolas Deslauriers being a healthy scratch.

Brossoit is slated to start on the road against Edmonton on Thursday, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

Brossoit has won his two starts this campaign, but he stopped just 38 of 45 shots (.844 save percentage) over that stretch. It will be difficult for him to do better against the Oilers, who are tied for first in goals per game with 4.13. In particular, Connor McDavid has made life difficult for goaltenders with his season-opening 16-game scoring streak that's resulted in him recording nine goals and 40 points in 2026-27.

Durzi (undisclosed) was put on injured reserve Thursday, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Durzi's move to IR is retroactive to Oct. 26, when he last played for the Rangers. He has two goals and five points in 14 outings in 2026-27. Scott Morrow has played in the Rangers' past two games because of Durzi's absence.

Olofsson (undisclosed) has been cleared to return to action for Thursday's game against the Red Wings, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Olofsson spent the past several weeks on long-term injured reserve, but he appeared to be in the mix to return Thursday after the Golden Knights reassigned Jonas Rondbjerg and Viliam Kmec to AHL Henderson on Wednesday. Head coach Ryan Craig said Thursday that Olofsson has officially been cleared to return, and he'll skate alongside Tomas Hertl and Trevor Connelly on Thursday. Across Olofsson's first four appearances of the regular season, he recorded four goals, an assist and a blocked shot while averaging 13:08 of ice time.

Reimer was placed on waivers by the Rangers on Thursday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Reimer signed a one-year contract with the Rangers on Oct. 25, and he made one start during his time with the NHL club. While Dylan Garand has been named the starter for Thursday's home game against the Flyers and Joonas Korpisalo (foot) appears to be getting closer to returning, Reimer will likely head to the minors if he clears waivers. However, Reimer will still serve as Garand's backup against Philadelphia on Thursday, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Gustavsson (hip) will travel with the Wild during the team's upcoming three-game road trip, per Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Gustavsson has been sidelined since the start of the campaign due to the hip procedure he underwent in the offseason. His inclusion for the team's upcoming road trip is a sign that he hasn't had any major setbacks since being ruled out for at least another month in mid-October. His status will be monitored closely, and once he's able to return, he'll likely see somewhat frequent appearances in net, but he'll be behind Jesper Wallstedt on the depth chart.

The Flames activated Cooley (lower body) off injured reserve Thursday, Pat Steinberg of QR Calgary 770 AM reports.

Cooley sustained his lower-body injury during the Flames' Oct. 28 matchup against the Oilers, and he spent nearly a week on injured reserve. He was initially considered week-to-week but has been cleared to return after missing just four games. It's not yet clear whether he'll draw the start over Dustin Wolf during Friday's home game against the Ducks, but it appears as though Cooley will at least be able to dress as the backup.

Foligno (lower body) will travel with the Wild during the team's upcoming three-game road trip, per Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Foligno appeared in four games to begin the 2026-27 campaign prior to landing on injured reserve with an upper-body injury. During that time, he posted a plus-4 rating, four shots on net and 13 hits. Foligno was seen skating during Thursday's practice, which is a strong sign that he could appear in one of the earlier contests of the upcoming three-game road trip. However, he has to be activated from injured reserve prior to that point.

Foligno (upper body) will travel with the Wild during the team's upcoming three-game road trip, per Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Foligno has been sidelined since early October after he was forced to exit Minnesota's clash against the Sabres on Oct. 6 with his upper-body injury. Prior to going down, he posted a goal, a plus-2 rating and three shots on net across three games. It remains to be seen if he'll actually play during the upcoming road trip, but his inclusion on the travel plans means he could be nearing a return.
