Yan Kuznetsov - NHL News & Rumors

Out for remainder of season Kuznetsov (upper body) will miss the rest of the 2025-26 regular season, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan on Tuesday.

Impact After sitting out Sunday's 4-1 win over Utah because of the injury, Kuznetsov won't play against the Avalanche and Kings on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively. He will conclude the 2025-26 campaign with four goals, 12 points, 64 shots on net, 103 blocked shots and 79 hits across 57 appearances.

Not an option Sunday Kuznetsov will be sidelined against the Mammoth on Sunday due to an upper-body injury is day-to-day.

Impact Kuznetsov didn't play in the final 10 minutes of Saturday's game in Seattle due to his injury, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan. If Kevin Bahl (lower body) doesn't suit up Sunday, Brayden Pachal will most likely draw into the lineup in a bottom-four capacity. The Flames have two more games remaining in their season following Sunday's matchup against Utah.

Moves past injury Kuznetsov (upper body) will be a healthy scratch for Monday's game in Colorado, per Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Impact Kuznetsov hasn't been in the lineup since March 14 versus the Islanders. Joel Hanley (upper body) will miss the rest of the 2025-26 campaign, so Kuznetsov is currently the Flames' seventh blueliner, but it remains to be seen when he'll get back into the lineup. Calgary's next game is Thursday in Vegas.

MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss another game Kuznetsov (upper body) isn't expected to play against Colorado on Monday.

Impact Despite participating in Monday's morning skate, Kuznetsov will miss his eighth straight game. He has picked up four goals, 12 points, 58 shots on net, 89 blocked shots and 75 hits across 52 appearances this season.

MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

Remains day-to-day Kuznetsov (upper body) won't play against Vancouver on Saturday.

Impact Kuznetsov is still day-to-day and will miss his seventh straight game. He has collected four goals, 12 points, 58 shots on net, 89 blocked shots and 75 hits across 52 appearances this season.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Still dealing with injury Kuznetsov is reportedly still dealing with his upper-body injury and is considered day-to-day, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports Friday.

Impact The nature of Kuznetsov's status has been rather unclear of late, as he has also been listed as a healthy scratch based on other reports. Either way, the 24-year-old blueliner has been out of the lineup for six straight games and figures to be questionable, at best, heading into Saturday's matchup with Vancouver.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Serving as healthy scratch Kuznetsov (upper body) will be a healthy scratch versus the Ducks on Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Kuznetsov missed time with an upper-body injury, having last played March 14 versus the Islanders, but has at least been upgraded to the healthy scratch category. At this point, fantasy managers will have to take a wait-and-see approach for when he might get back into the lineup.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Tuesday Kuznetsov (upper body) won't play against the Kings on Tuesday.

Impact Kuznetsov will miss his fifth straight game, but he participated in Tuesday's morning skate and appears to be getting close to returning to the lineup. He has contributed four goals, 12 points, 58 shots on net, 89 blocked shots and 75 hits across 52 appearances this season.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Out again but close Kuznetsov (upper body) will miss Sunday's game against the Lightning but is close to a return, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Kuznetsov has already missed three games and is set to miss a fourth Sunday against the Lightning. However, it seems that the 24-year-old could be ready soon with his next chance to come back being Tuesday against the Kings. He has 12 points (four goals, eight assists) in 52 games on the season.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Set to remain out versus Cats Kuznetsov (upper body) is expected to continue to miss out versus Florida on Friday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Kuznetsov will be out of action for his third straight game due to his upper-body problem. The blueliner is mired in an 18-game goal drought during which he has recorded just 23 shots and three assists. Given his offensive limitations, Kuznetsov's absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Wednesday Kuznetsov (upper body) isn't in the lineup Wednesday versus the Blues, Ryan Pike of Flames Nation reports.

Impact Kuznetsov will miss his second straight game with the injury. The 23-year-old's absence continues to be covered by Hunter Brzustewicz, who will skate on the second pairing. Kuznetsov's next chance to play is Friday versus the Panthers.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Monday Kuznetsov (upper body) won't play against Detroit on Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Kuznetsov is day-to-day after sustaining the injury in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders. He has earned four goals, 12 points, 58 shots on net, 89 blocked shots and 75 hits across 52 appearances this season. Due to Kuznetsov's absence, Hunter Brzustewicz will draw into Monday's lineup against the Red Wings.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Garners assist Monday Kuznetsov logged a shorthanded assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Kuznetsov has stepped up into a steady top-four role since the Flames offloaded two defensemen in the lead-up to the trade deadline. The 23-year-old plays more of a shutdown role, so he isn't likely to be a strong target in fantasy. He has 11 points, 54 shots on net, 70 hits, 85 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 49 appearances.

Pots goal in Saturday's win Kuznetsov scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.

Impact Kuznetsov ended a six-game point drought with the tally. The 23-year-old defenseman has proven himself capable in his own zone, but there's still not a lot of offense in his game. He's at four goals, five assists, 35 shots on net, 46 hits, 53 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 34 appearances. Kuznetsov could still take on a larger role in the event Rasmus Andersson is traded, though Andersson's power-play minutes are more likely to go to Hunter Brzustewicz or Zayne Parekh in the long run.

Two points including winner Kuznetsov scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Monday's 7-4 victory over the Sabres.

Impact It was the 23-year-old's first career game-winner in his 18th NHL contest, and his first multi-point performance.

Impact Kuznetsov has a goal and an assist over his last two games. He went nine contests without a point after earning an assist in his season debut. Despite the lack of offense, the 23-year-old's overall play has been strong enough to secure him a top-four spot on the blue line. He's earned three points, 14 shots on net, 18 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 12 appearances.
