Where this injury report comes from
Statuses and expected returns come from the ESPN injury report, checked several times a day and matched to NHL player ids, plus healthy scratches from game-day lineups. The Carolina Hurricanes have 3 out and 1 day-to-day or scratched right now. "Who replaces him" is the player who took his line or power-play spot in recent games, or the next man up when he has not missed a game yet.
Return dates are estimates and slip often, especially for "upper body" and "lower body" listings. A replacement seen once is a guess; one who took the spot in several games is a pattern. Who Benefits numbers are only as good as the games without the player: two or three games is a hint, shrunk toward no change.
For fantasy, the replacement on the power play matters most: a PP1 spot is worth more than a line promotion at even strength. Check the status again close to puck drop, since day-to-day players are often decided at the morning skate.
