Injury and roll-in status updates ripple across the NHL as fantasy rosters shift daily. Dahlin and company in Buffalo sit with others out or week-to-week; Calgary’s Huberdeau is day-to-day while Hyman logged drills after practice in Edmonton; Lundell is day-to-day for Florida and Bolduc is listed day-to-day for Montreal. Kaprizov’s contract whisper could push Necas’ price higher, Panarin’s status remains cautious but improving, and Toews is day-to-day for Winnipeg. Goaltending plans hinge on Vasilevskiy’s readiness for the opener.

NHL betting season preview spotlights a three-peat bid by the Florida Panthers, a dethroning drive by the Vegas Golden Knights boosted by Mitch Marner, and strong futures for Colorado and Edmonton. The betting menu is rich: moneylines, totals, puck lines, prop bets, parlays and live in-play bets, with Panthers (+600), Avalanche (+800), Knights (+800) and Oilers (+850) drawing the most action for 2025-26.

For fantasy managers, off-season moves reshape value: Marner’s arrival sharpens Knights’ ceiling, while MacKinnon/Makar and McDavid/Draisaitl anchor top-tier contending duos. Track workload shifts, depth players who could surge when stars rest, and goaltending workloads to gauge risk and upside early in the year.

Bryan Rust navigates a rising trade rumor tide as his no-trade clause expires and Kyle Dubas says he would look at anything. The Penguins face structural questions, and Rust’s name keeps surfacing in a market where teams weigh cap, aging assets, and fit. Chinakhov’s situation amplifies the chatter around Edmonton, too, with Oilers balancing space and depth.

Edmonton’s goalie setup—Skinner’s development, a new goalie coach, and Janmark’s unsettled roster slot—along with Hyman’s delayed return and Tolvanen’s long-term Seattle link, threads a league-wide pattern: contracts, upside, and the risk of a cluttered market shaping fantasy value early in the season.

Training camps open with a flurry of injury notes and precaution rests across the NHL. Slavin will miss the start for Carolina as a precaution; Brossoit out long-term after hip surgery for Chicago; Hyman and Zuccarello sideline early, with Hyman eyeing a return in early November and Zuccarello possibly out to start the season. Predators’ Molendyk and Reid nursing lower-body issues; Josi cleared on the health front but dealing with POTS concerns. Kovacevic could miss January for New Jersey. Engvall and Varlamov limited for New York Islanders; Bonk day-to-day for Philadelphia. McGroarty, Acciari, Letang, and Sourdif noted with various injuries or medical considerations. Several players face extended timelines or are progressing back, shaping early-season depth and fantasy projections.
