DeBrusk missed one game prior to the All-Star break due to an undisclosed injury but was a full participant Sunday in Boston's practice and looks ready to return Tuesday vs. Calgary. The 27-year-old had been picking up his game as of late with five points (3G/2A) in his last five games before the injury but is still having a down year as a whole with only 12 goals and 25 points in 47 games total.

InjuryInjury
MacEachern (shoulder) will undergo surgery and miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season.

MacEachern has been out since December 30th due to a right shoulder injury and will undergo surgery which will cause him to miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season. The 29-year-old left-winger was appearing in his first NHL season since 2021-22 and had an assist, four SOG, and a -1 plus/minus while averaging only 7:52 TOI across eight games played.

InjuryInjury
Chytil (upper body) will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season after experiencing a recent setback.

Chytil scarily went down earlier in the week in the first skate upon his return from an upper-body injury and has announced through social media Sunday that he is going to miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season. The 24-year-old's announcement comes as a big disappointment after he produced a 22 goal, 45 point season as a 23-year-old in 2022-23.

InjuryInjury
Chytil (concussion) has suffered a setback directly related to his previous injury at practice Friday after attempting to return.

Chytil has been limited to 10 games this season, last playing on November 2nd when he exited the game with a concussion. Before his injury, Chytil was playing almost exclusively on a line with Artemi Panarin and Alexis Lafreniere. His most recent setback is devasting news as he was seemingly making progress towards a return.

Chytil has been placed on long-term injured reserve, retroactive to November 3rd, in a series of moves by the Rangers designed to create cap space for Adam Fox to return to the lineup on Wednesday. The 24-year-old Chytil was previously centring the Rangers' second line and had six assists, 22 SOG, and four PIMs in 10 games prior to the injury.

InjuryInjury
Filip Chytil (upper body) has been placed on the injured reserve.

Chytil left the Rangers' previous game vs. Carolina after just 10:23 TOI due to an upper-body injury and was placed on the injured reserve Friday. The 24-year-old's injury leaves a big hole in the Rangers lineup as he had been centring their second line and had six assists, 22 SOG, and four PIMs in 10 games prior to the injury.

InjuryInjury
Luke Schenn (lower body) is expected to miss 4-6 weeks.

Schenn's status has been up in the air after sitting out the last three games but is now been confirmed to miss the next four to six weeks with a lower-body injury. He recorded one block and four hits in 15:11 time-on-ice in his only game this season. Last season, Schenn had a league-leading 318 hits along with 22 points (4G / 18A) in 70 games. Dante Fabbro has, and will likely continue, to fill in on the back end in his absence.

InjuryInjury
Guillaume Brisebois (upper-body) has been placed on long-term injured reserve.

Brisebois has not skated in 10 days and has now been placed on the long-term injured reserve with an upper-body injury. The 26-year-old had a goal, two assists, 15 SOG, six PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through 17 games played in 2022-23. His move to the LTIR allows the Canucks to keep Jack Studnicka on the active roster after he was originally an emergency call up.

InjuryInjury
Schenn will not play in Thursday's game against the Kraken due to a lower-body injury.

Schenn presumably picked up the injury at some point during Tuesday night's opening affair with the Lightning, though there was no mention or report of an injury prior to warmups for Thursday's game against the Blues. The 33-year-old blue-liner rarely contributes offensively, but his absence will be felt in fantasy formats that reward blocked shots and hits. Dante Fabbro will slide into the lineup in place of Schenn.
