Frederic exited Wednesday's practice after suffering an undisclosed injury, Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Brar believes Frederic was struck in the face with the puck. The 27-year-old Frederic has two goals, three points, 25 PIM and 71 hits in 30 appearances this season. If he can't play Thursday versus Detroit, then Edmonton might need to call a forward up from the minors.

Bjugstad (upper body) will be out of action for the next five days, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports Wednesday, which means he will be out for the Blues' next three games.

Bjugstad was injured against Boston on Tuesday and will now be facing about a week out of the lineup. In Bjugstad's stead, the team signed Robby Fabbri to a two-way contract and will insert him into the lineup versus the Predators on Thursday. For his part, Bjugstad has struggled offensively this year with just five points in 25 appearances. Don't be surprised to see Bjugstad land on injured reserve, given his recovery timeline.

Bobrovsky is set to start on the road against Utah on Wednesday.

Bobrovsky allowed six goals on 31 shots in his last start Saturday, but he still earned a 7-6 overtime victory over Columbus. He's 11-8-1 with a 2.98 GAA and an .881 save percentage in 20 appearances this season. Utah is in a four-way tie for 15th in goals per game with 3.00.

Soderstrom logged an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

The helper was Soderstrom's first point in three appearances for the Bruins this year. He's added a plus-3 rating, two shots on net and three blocked shots. The 24-year-old should play regularly until at least one of Charlie McAvoy (face), Henri Jokiharju (undisclosed), Michael Callahan (lower body) or Jordan Harris (ankle) returns to action. Soderstrom should still be expected to see most of his ice time with AHL Providence this year unless the Bruins' injury woes get worse.

Kuraly logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

Kuraly had been limited to just one helper over his previous 14 games. The 32-year-old had a hand in both of Mark Kastelic's tallies in Tuesday's contest. Kuraly is at eight points, 45 shots on net, 29 hits, 22 blocked shots and 20 PIM over 31 appearances this season, serving as a penalty killer and fourth-line center.

Zacha scored an empty-net goal on six shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

Zacha has three goals and two assists over his four-game point streak to start December. He was limited to six points over 13 outings in November, but he's bounced back well even with his ice time trending downward a little bit. For the season, the 28-year-old center is at eight goals, 22 points, 49 shots on net, 29 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 30 appearances, primarily in a second-line role.

Buchnevich notched two assists and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.

Buchnevich finally earned his first multi-point effort of the season. He's on a four-game point streak and has three goals and six assists over his last 10 outings in one of his best stretches of the campaign. The 30-year-old is at 16 points, 51 shots on net, 19 hits and a minus-11 rating over 31 appearances, but he may be worth considering again now that he looks to have turned things around.

Walker logged an assist and six blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Walker hasn't scored in 14 games, but he has earned four assists over his last 11 outings. His play from early November was never going to last, but he is still in a top-four role as one of the Hurricanes' most reliable defensemen in his own zone. He's at a total of 10 points, 65 shots on net, 47 hits, 46 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-2 rating in 29 appearances. Considering he had just 16 points in 82 regular-season contests in 2024-25, he's on track for a much better year.

Svechnikov notched two assists, two shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Svechnikov has amassed five helpers over eight games since he last scored a goal Nov. 21 in Winnipeg. The 25-year-old winger has returned to a bit of streaky offense after piecing it all together in November, but fantasy managers should still have room for his all-around contributions. He's up to 17 points (six on the power play), 84 shots on net, 39 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 29 appearances.

Robinson scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Facing one of his former teams, Robinson was able to snap a 10-game goal drought. He had just one helpers in that span. For the season, the 30-year-old winger has been a regular on the Hurricanes' fourth line, earning eight points, 27 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-6 rating in 23 appearances. He won't often score enough to help in fantasy, but his place in the lineup looks to be mostly secure.
