#CBJ have placed Ivan Provorov on injured reserve. Club says he's week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

🚨 Team Update 🚨 We've placed D Ivan Provorov on Injured Reserve. He's considered week-to-week with a lower body injury. 📝 https://t.co/AjMi9JRF41 CBJ x @OHHeartofitAll https://t.co/S3B9AITo5I

@charlieo_conn · 10/1

With the Provorov injury, Emil Andrae takes over the 2LD job in Columbus. Hope he does well, always liked Andrae.

@Aportzline · 10/1

#CBJ Provorov has never missed a game due to injury in his 778-game NHL career. The only 3 games he’s been forced to skip were due to COVID-19 protocols during the 2021-22 season when he played for Philadelphia. “He’s heartbroken,” Bowness said. “Absolutely heartbroken.”

A great play from Charlie Coyle that starts with Denton Mateychuk. Sillinger finishes with the first opening night goal of his NHL career. #CBJ

As @PierreVLeBrun wrote about after talking with #Isles GM Mathieu Darche, the belief was that Marchenko would have signed an extension with NYI. Once Knies became available for #CBJ, Darche -- no one in the #NHL -- was able to compete with that offer.

@AlexDaugherty1 · 9/30

Opening night is tomorrow! Before the game, stop by Sports and Social on 2nd Ave where I’ll be live in person with @georgeplastertn from 5:45-6:30. We will talk Preds, take your questions, and have giveaways courtesy of White Claw. @ThePlasterShow https://t.co/Ja65oG9apA
