NHL Injury Report October Twenty First: Star Centers and Top Defenders Sidelined

Impacto en las apuestas: Barkov is the heart of this team. His absence for the next six to eight weeks is a massive downgrade for the Panthers' defensive structure and power play.

Impacto en las apuestas: Losing Marchand takes away a huge chunk of their scoring and veteran presence. Expect the Panthers to struggle with offensive consistency.

Impacto en las apuestas: With Markstrom out, the Panthers lose their primary safety net in net. This makes them a risky bet if the backup isn't having a career night.

Impacto en las apuestas: He's a depth piece, but his physical presence is missed on the fourth line. It won't move the line but it hurts their grit.

Impacto en las apuestas: Konecny is their most dangerous threat on the rush. Without him, the Flyers lack the explosive speed needed to back off opposing defenders.

Impacto en las apuestas: Tippett is a volume shooter. His absence means fewer pucks on net and less pressure on the Buffalo goaltender.

Impacto en las apuestas: York is a key part of their defensive rotation. His absence forces bottom pair guys into minutes they probably shouldn't be playing.

Impacto en las apuestas: He provides much needed size on the back end. But he is closing in on a return, so watch his status for the next game.

Impacto en las apuestas: Monitor pregame. If he can't go, the Flyers' wing depth becomes dangerously thin.

Impacto en las apuestas: He is out for the long term. This doesn't change much for tonight but it hurts their overall depth for the season.

Impacto en las apuestas: Monitor pregame. Dahlin is the engine of this team. If he plays, the Sabres' chances of winning jump significantly because of his elite puck moving skills.

Impacto en las apuestas: He's expected to debut tonight. His presence on the third line adds some much needed veteran scoring depth for Buffalo.

Impacto en las apuestas: Monitor pregame. He's a reliable depth center who helps with faceoffs and penalty killing.

Impacto en las apuestas: Monitor pregame. Danforth brings energy to the bottom six, but his absence won't move the betting line much.

Impacto en las apuestas: His flare up is a blow to their defensive mobility. The Sabres will miss his ability to exit the zone cleanly.

Impacto en las apuestas: A setback in his recovery means Buffalo has to rely on their other options in net for the foreseeable future.

Impacto en las apuestas: Another body out on defense. Buffalo is reaching deep into their system to fill these holes.

Impacto en las apuestas: Chabot eats massive minutes. Without him, the Senators' power play loses its quarterback and their breakout becomes much slower.

Impacto en las apuestas: He is out for months. This is a big loss for their secondary scoring and creative playmaking.

Impacto en las apuestas: A depth absence that doesn't impact the main betting lines but hurts their lineup flexibility.

Impacto en las apuestas: They lose some toughness in the lineup. But it won't change the scoreboard much.
