Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson (thigh) was replaced on Team Sweden's Olympic roster on Tuesday by Minnesota Wild winger Marcus Johansson. Carlsson underwent a thigh procedure on Jan. 16 and was ruled out for 3-5 weeks. Unfortunately, he won't recover in time to play in the Olympics and will remain out through the international break. The Ducks have three more games before the Olympics, starting with Thursday's tilt against the Vancouver Canucks. Carlsson has had an excellent campaign in 2025-26, recording 44 points (18 goals, 26 assists) across 44 games. With Mason McTavish (upper body) also recently missing time, Mikael Granlund has served as Anaheim's top centerman. Ryan Poehling has seen action on the second line, putting together a three-game point streak.

Los Angeles Kings center Alex Turcotte (upper body) won't play on Tuesday night against the Detroit Red Wings. He will miss his second game of the season after sustaining an upper-body injury. The team considers Turcotte day-to-day. Anze Kopitar's (lower body) absence has recently given Turcotte a larger role. He has tallied six points (one goal, five assists) in January, bringing his season total to 12 points (three goals, nine assists). Alex Laferriere is expected to remain as the top-line center on Tuesday, with Joel Armia taking over as the third-line center. Warren Foegele is set to slot into the second line to fill out the lineup.

St. Louis Blues forward Dylan Holloway (ankle) won't play on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. He recently reaggravated an ankle injury and will be sidelined for a fourth consecutive game. While Holloway is considered day-to-day, it's unclear whether he can return to action before the Olympic break. The Blues will replace Otto Stenberg with Robby Fabbri on Tuesday night in the attack, while Jonatan Berggren is expected to continue in a top-line role. After starting well in St. Louis, Berggren has gone scoreless in eight consecutive appearances.

Vancouver Canucks center Marco Rossi (lower body) had a setback and will be out through the Olympics, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports. He has missed 13 games due to a lower-body injury and will be out for five more games. Rossi has made eight appearances for the Canucks since being traded by the Minnesota Wild, posting one goal and one assist. Filip Chytil will continue to work as the second-line center until Rossi's return. Chytil has just come back to the lineup after missing several months and hasn't registered any points in two outings.
