How we rank NHL injuries
Each injury gets a 1 to 10 score from the player's DraftKings points per game over the last season and his ice time.
A player who has already missed 10 or more team games scores lower, because his salary and the lines already reflect the absence.
The Who benefits column lists teammates at the same position on the top two lines or the first power play unit, with tonight's projection.
Where the data comes from
The ESPN injury report, Daily Faceoff line combinations and our own NHL projections. The page refreshes every 30 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
What does priced in mean?
The player has missed at least 10 team games. The market and DraftKings salaries have already adjusted to his absence.
Is an injured reserve player out tonight?
Yes. Players on injured reserve do not play and project for zero.
Who benefits when a top center is out?
Usually the next center up the lineup and the forward who takes his spot on the first power play unit. The table lists them by projection.
