Rotowire
Iginla suffered an undisclosed injury and is considered day-to-day, Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports reports Thursday.
Iginla's injury is reportedly unrelated to offseason hip surgery, which is good news for fantasy managers. At this point in his career, the 19-year-old forward is more of a long-term project for dynasty formats than an option in annual re-draft leagues. Once cleared to play, Iginla will likely be loaned back to WHL Kelowna for the 2025-26 campaign.

Rotowire
Iginla was reassigned to WHL Kelowna on Wednesday.
Iginla will have to wait until the end of the season for a chance to make his NHL debut after being sent back to his junior club.

If he performs well, Iginla could link up with Utah in the closing days of the 2024-25 season.
