Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Matt Grzelcyk (upper body) will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season, Jack Bushman of Chicago Hockey Now reports. He suffered an upper-body injury in March and has sat out five games. The early end of Grzelcky's campaign means that he will finish the season without scoring a single goal. After a career-high 40 points (one goal, 39 assists) in Pittsburgh last season, Grzelcyk's offensive contributions were limited to 11 assists in 69 games this term. Chicago has lost Artyom Levshunov (hand) until the end of the season, giving Kevin Korchinski and Ethan Del Mastro opportunities to play.

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Artyom Levshunov (hand) won't return to action this season, Jack Bushman of Chicago Hockey Now reports. The 20-year-old rookie sustained a fractured hand last week and has already sat out two games. Levshunov will wrap up the campaign with 24 points (two goals, 22 assists), 84 SOG, 75 blocks, 98 hits, and a minus-41 rating in 68 games. The No. 2 pick of the 2024 draft clearly has to improve his even-strength play to boost his fantasy stock. He is expected to be a big part of the Blackhawks' future.

Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Mathieu Olivier (upper body) won't be available for a couple of weeks, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. He suffered an upper-body injury on Sunday against Boston and might be done for the rest of the regular season. The Blue Jackets will wrap up their schedule on April 14. Olivier averages 3.4 hits per game and has notched 26 points (15 goals, 11 assists) in 61 games. Kent Johnson slotted into the lineup as his replacement in Tuesday's loss to Carolina and might now play regularly until Olivier returns. However, Johnson's productivity has nosedived this season and won't be much help to fantasy teams.

Florida Panthers forward Evan Rodrigues (finger) will have season-ending surgery, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports. The 32-year-old broke a finger last week, and it was reported that he was expected to miss the rest of the campaign. With him now scheduled for surgery, Rodrigues' absence for the remainder of the season is confirmed. He will finish the year with 31 points (11 goals, 20 assists) in 69 games. Florida has also lost Sam Reinhart (foot), Brad Marchand (lower body), Anton Lundell (ribs), and Jonah Gadjovich (upper body) until the end of the season, so the team's offense will look very different in the final few games.
