Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi (back) will sit out the start of training camp next week. According to Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka, Domi remains "out indefinitely" due to complications from offseason surgery. Domi played through injury last season but missed only two games. He recorded 12 goals and 36 points. Because he is still recovering from surgery, Domi may also miss some time at the start of the regular season. Toronto will open its season on Sept. 29 at home against the Montreal Canadiens.

Columbus Blue Jackets center Sean Monahan is fully healthy for the start of the season, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports. Monahan was banged up all year last season and struggled to perform. After being a point-per-game guy in 2024-25, the 31-year-old tallied only 36 points (13 goals, 23 assists) in 78 games. Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell said Monahan is feeling "great" ahead of the new campaign. He didn't require any surgeries to get healthy. With no injuries, Monahan could comfortably reach 50-60 points in 2026-27.

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin will report to training camp despite requesting a trade this offseason, ESPN's Emily Kaplan reports. Larkin hasn't gotten his desired move away from Motown, but he could very well start the season with the Red Wings. However, the 2026 Olympic champion won't be the team captain anymore after the Red Wings announced that they will begin the campaign without a captain. In 2026-27, Larkin will aim to post his sixth consecutive 30-goal season. He has notched at least 67 points in each of the past five seasons.

Vegas Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone inked a two-year, $18 million contract extension on Saturday. The Golden Knights locked up their captain for a pair of more years, with Stone's current contract ending in 2027. Stone will take a small pay cut with his new deal, as the average annual value of his contract will drop from $9.5 million to $9 million. Although having Stone rostered often frustrates fantasy managers because of his health issues, the veteran forward is extremely productive when on the ice -- he averaged 1.22 points per game last season.
