Injury Updates: Dunn, Bjugstad, Steel, Eklund

October 18, 2024 at 9:00 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose Leave a Comment

Kraken defenseman Vince Dunn missed a game last week due to an upper-body injury and now he’s banged up again.  Kate Shefte of the Seattle Times notes that the 27-year-old is listed as day-to-day after being injured in Friday’s victory over Philadelphia; he didn’t play in the final 23 minutes of the contest.  Head coach Dan Bylsma didn’t have a timeline for his return, stating that Dunn is still waiting on further evaluation.  Dunn is off to a solid start to his season with a goal and two assists in his first four appearances while logging a little under 19 minutes per night.

Other injury news from around the NHL:

  • Utah HC center Nick Bjugstad is seven to ten days away from returning, per Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune (Twitter link). The 32-year-old has yet to play this season due to an upper-body injury that kept him out at the start of training camp.  He’s coming off one of his best seasons offensively after putting up 22 goals and 23 assists in 76 games with Arizona and was originally expected to miss all of October.  Now, it appears he might be able to beat that by a game or two.
  • Stars center Sam Steel was injured on his final shift on Thursday against Washington and is listed as questionable for Saturday’s contest versus Edmonton, mentions team radio analyst Bruce LeVine (Twitter link). The 26-year-old has a goal and an assist through his first five appearances this season.  With Tyler Seguin already out, Dallas would need to bring up a forward if Steel can’t play.  However, they can’t even afford a recall making $800K per PuckPedia which will limit their options.
  • Sharks forward William Eklund missed tonight’s game due to an upper-body injury, relays Max Miller of The Hockey News. He had been listed as a game-time decision on Thursday but he managed two assists in the loss; head coach Ryan Warsofsky acknowledged postgame that the 22-year-old isn’t fully healthy.  With that in mind, holding him out of a back-to-back certainly made sense.
