Edmonton Oilers

Forward Zach Hyman missed Oilers' practice on Monday as he is dealing with a shoulder injury suffered Saturday night in a loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.

According to head coach Dave Tippett, the 29-year-old is day-to-day, but could still play Tuesday night against his former team in the Toronto Maple Leafs. 

Hyman has 11 goals and eight assists over 26 games with the Oilers this season after signing a seven-year, $38.5 million contract this summer. 

Pittsburgh Penguins

Star forward Evgeni Malkin, who hasn't played all season due to a knee injury, skated at Pens' practice on Monday and took part in power-play work. 

"Geno skated for a half hour then joined the team for practice. He's making really good progress," said coach Mike Sullivan. "Every week the limitations are less and less."

The 35-year-old wore a non-contact jersey during practice. 

Montreal Canadiens

Head coach Dominique Ducharme told the media on Monday that it is likely defenceman Jeff Petry (upper-body) will be able to return the lineup on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins, but could be back on Saturday alongside Brendan Gallagher and Sami Niku, who both should be ready to come out of COVID protocol.

Winnipeg Jets

Jets forward Blake Wheeler will be out "weeks not days", head coach Paul Maurice told reporters on Monday. 

Wheeler suffered an apparent leg injury Friday night in a game against the Canucks. 

Maurice added that the swelling will take another three-to-four days to go down before they know the extent of the injury.

St. Louis Blues 

The team announced on Monday that forward David Perron has been placed on the long-term injured reserve (retroactive to Nov. 27) and also placed forward Robert Thomas and Brayden Schenn on the injured reserve. Tyler Bozak and Justin Faulk were activated from COVID-19 protocols while forward Alexei Toropchenko was recalled from the Springfield Thunderbirds.

Florida Panthers

The Panthers claimed goalie Jonas Johansson off waivers from the Colorado Avalanche on Monday. 

Johansson, 26, posted a 3.73 goals-against average and .885 save percentage in nine games this season. The Swedish netminder last appeared for the Avalanche on Dec. 8 against the New York Rangers.
