Welcome to the 2022-23 NHL Training Camp Buzz. Training camp is underway for all 32 teams and NHL.com has you covered with all the latest news.
Ilya Mikheyev is week to week for the Canucks because of a lower-body injury.
The forward did not practice Tuesday after he was injured during a 3-2 overtime loss to the Calgary Flames in a preseason game Sunday. Mikheyev had no shots on goal in 7:31 of ice time and left after getting hit into the boards 4:17 into the second period.
Mikheyev was playing on a line with center Elias Pettersson and wing Andrei Kuzmenko. He was replaced by forward Nils Hoglander.
Forward Conor Garland moved onto the top line with center J.T. Miller in place of Brock Boeser, who will miss 3-4 weeks after having hand surgery Monday. Kuzmenko moved onto the top power-play unit.
“When you don’t have two of your top six guys, you’re shuffling the lines a bit,” Canucks coach Bruce Boudreau said. “When one guy goes down another guy has got to step up. If they’re good enough they’ll make it tough on anybody that returns. That’s the way I would look at it if I was the player. What a great opportunity.”
Defenseman Travis Dermott was helped off the bench after leaving practice early Tuesday.
“He looked like he got hit there and just feeling a little woozy and we just … if you’re feeling feel a little woozy, just take the rest of the day off,” Boudreau said. “We don’t need anybody else getting hurt.”

Nico Hischier was limited to 6:24 of ice time in a 2-1 preseason win at the Montreal Canadiens on Monday because of cramping.
The Devils captain played nine shifts, all in the first period. The ailment wasn’t considered serious, according to coach Lindy Ruff.
“Last night was more precautionary,” Ruff said Tuesday. “He’ll undergo some tests today just to make sure everything is good. I had a really good conversation with him, leading me to believe he’ll be playing again in the preseason, but you never know where some of these things lead.”
Hischier centered the top line with left wing Tomas Tatar and Jesper Bratt on Monday. Jesper Boqvist, Tyce Thompson and Aarne Talvitie were the other three centers against the Canadiens.
Hischier, who set NHL career highs in goals (21), assists (39) and points (60) in 70 games last season, will not play when the Devils host the New York Islanders on Tuesday. — Mike G. Morreale
Kirill Kaprizov did not practice Tuesday and will not play for the Wild in their preseason game against the Colorado Avalanche.
The forward was hit in the ankle by a shot from teammate Frederick Gaudreau in the third period of a 3-2 overtime win against the Avalanche in a preseason game Sunday. He hobbled to the bench and took his next shift before leaving late and not playing in overtime.
“No issues,” Wild coach Dean Evason said Monday. “He’s not going to skate today. He doesn’t need to skate today. But he’s fine. It’s just simply he got a shot there in the foot. Why put his boot in it today? Let’s let it calm right down and get better.”
Kaprizov will be evaluated daily to see if it makes sense to have him participate or keep him out.
“We’ll make sure we’re doing the right things,” Evason said. “In all honesty, I don’t think he’s scheduled to play again until the next home game.”
The Wild play their next four preseason games on the road before hosting the Chicago Blackhawks on Oct. 6. They open the regular season at home against the New York Rangers on Oct. 13. — Jessi Pierce
Jeff Carter is day to day with an upper-body injury for the Penguins.
The forward was injured midway through a scrimmage Saturday and did not return. Carter is expected to play center on the third line behind Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin this season.
Kasperi Kapanen had been right wing next to Carter through the first three days of training camp. He did not participate in the morning skate Tuesday prior to the Penguins’ preseason game against the Detroit Red Wings at PPG Paints Arena because of an illness. Most of the Penguins regulars are scheduled to play.
Kapanen’s illness is not expected to be long term, coach Mike Sullivan said.
“‘Kappy’ was supposed to play tonight, but he’s not feeling well,” Sullivan said Tuesday. “So we held him out.”
Carter had 45 points (19 goals, 26 assists) in 76 games last season. Kapanen had 32 points (11 goals, 21 assists) in 79 games.
Teddy Blueger replaced Carter at third-line center during the morning skate, with Radim Zohorna taking Kapanen’s spot at right wing. Brock McGinn was the left wing. — Wes Crosby
Carter Hart will not play for the Flyers in their preseason game against the Washington Capitals on Wednesday but has been cleared to practice.
The goalie did not practice Sunday because of a lower-body injury but was a full participant on the ice Tuesday and is expected to practice Wednesday. Monday was an off day for the Flyers.
Hart was out the final nine games of last season because of a lower-body injury.
Reid Schaefer, the Oilers’ first-round pick (No. 32) in the 2022 NHL Draft, was returned to Seattle of the Western Hockey League.
The forward had no points and one shot on goal in two preseason games but received praise during his first NHL training camp.
“I think Reid Schaefer is going to be a real good Edmonton Oiler one day,” Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft said after a 3-0 loss at the Seattle Kraken on Monday. “He’s someone who obviously has some natural gifts. He’s a big man (6-foot-3, 215 pounds), shoots the puck very well, skates well for a big man, he’s in great shape. And he’s left a real positive impression on the management and coaching staff, and most importantly on his future teammates.
“He’s had a really good camp. There’s been some learning moments for him and that’s all part of it when you go to your first NHL camp. I think he’s left a really good impression here.”
