Jets' Cole Koepke: Shifted to injured reserve
Rotowire
Koepke (undisclosed) was moved to injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site.
Koepke has already missed two games due to his undisclosed injury and will now be out of action for at least one more. The 27-year-old winger is stuck in a season-long, 14-game goal drought during which he recorded a mere 13 shots. Even once given the all-clear, Koepke will be hard-pressed to secure a place in the lineup, especially with Gustav Nyquist (undisclosed) returning to action.

Jets' Cole Koepke: Officially out Tuesday
Rotowire
Koepke (undisclosed) will not play versus Vancouver on Tuesday but is considered day-to-day, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Koepke has been struggling offensively this season, as he is still looking for his first goal of the year and has notched just two helpers in 14 contests. Given his offensive limitations, the 27-year-old Minnesota native probably isn't going to help most fantasy managers, though he does put up a decent amount of hits, including 40 this season.

Jets' Cole Koepke: Set to play Thursday
Rotowire
Koepke (lower body) is expected to be in the lineup versus the Flyers on Thursday.
Koepke was injured against the Islanders on Monday but appears to have avoided a significant problem. With the 27-year-old winger slotting into a fourth-line role, Parker Ford will be relegated to a spot in the press box. Still, Koepke is far from a lock to play on a nightly basis and could find himself in the press box periodically.

Jets' Cole Koepke: Linking up with Winnipeg
Rotowire
Koepke signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Jets on Tuesday, according to Darren Dreger of TSN.
Koepke appeared in 73 games with the Bruins last season, producing 10 goals and 17 points. The 27-year-old will probably be a fourth-line staple with the Jets this coming season, especially considering the departure of Brandon Tanev, who signed a three-year deal with the Mammoth on Tuesday. While Koepke doesn't offer much value in terms of offensive production, he should be a good source of hits with his new team, as he racked up 177 in 2024-25.

Bruins' Cole Koepke: Available against Sabres
Rotowire
Koepke (upper body) will travel to Buffalo for Tuesday's matchup and will be an option to play, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.
Considering Koepke played in 44 of the Bruins' first 46 games this season, it seems very likely he'll get into the lineup ahead of Max Jones -- though Boston has won two straight games with Jones in action, so it's possible interim head coach Joe Sacco doesn't want to shuffle up his lines. Either way, Koepke should suit up sooner rather than later now that his upper-body injury is behind him. Since he has been reported as available for Tuesday, Koepke will be officially activated from injured reserve prior to the contest.

Bruins' Cole Koepke: Tallies Sunday
Rotowire
Koepke scored a goal and added four hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Koepke has scored twice over his last five games, but he has just four points across 16 contests since the start of December. The 26-year-old forward is unlikely to be a regular contributor since he is on the fourth line.

Bruins' Cole Koepke: Lights lamp Thursday
Rotowire
Koepke scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.
Koepke ended a five-game point drought with his second-period tally. The 26-year-old started the season in excellent form, but he has predictably cooled off, though he remains firmly in a bottom-six role in the lineup. Koepke has produced four goals, four assists, 23 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-11 rating over 15 contests, giving him a chance to exceed the 20-point mark for the first time in his career as he finally looks to be an NHL regular.

Bruins' Cole Koepke: Scores lone goal in overtime loss
Rotowire
Koepke scored a goal on five shots and added two hits in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to Utah.
Koepke has scored in back-to-back games, and he's up to three goals and three assists through six outings. The 26-year-old winger remains on the Bruins' fourth line for now, but with some of the team's middle-six forwards struggling early on, he could be due for a promotion. He's added 12 shots on net, a plus-9 rating and 19 hits, offering a bit of physicality and a strong defensive work rate in addition to his surprising success on offense.

Bruins' Cole Koepke: Stays warm with opening goal
Rotowire
Koepke scored a goal on four shots, added seven hits and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.
Koepke continues to be one of the best early stories in the league. His first-period tally Wednesday was his second goal and fifth point in five appearances, and his chemistry with Mark Kastelic and John Beecher has made that trio one of the Bruins' best lines early on. Koepke has added 17 hits and a plus-9 rating. He saw 14:00 of ice time Wednesday and could continue to see his role grow if he keeps up the strong play.

Koepke has played in 26 regular-season NHL games for the Lightning over the last two seasons, registering one goal, two assists and 21 shots.
