Pius Suter - Dealing with upper-body issue Suter is day-to-day after suffering an upper-body injury, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports Wednesday.
Impact Suter has scored at least 14 goals in each of his four NHL seasons despite having played for three different teams over that stretch. If he can get back to 100 percent and avoid any injury stretches, he should be a near-lock to reach the 30-point threshold considering he fell one point shy of that mark last year despite logging just 67 regular-season contests.

Impact Suter still could be an option for Friday's preseason finale against Edmonton. If he isn't available to play against Calgary on Oct. 9, Nils Aman may replace him in the Opening Night lineup. The 28-year-old Suter notched 14 goals and 29 points in 67 games during the 2023-24 regular season.

Cole McWard - Sent to AHL McWard (lower body) was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Tuesday.
Impact McWard had been recovering from an injury for most of training camp, but his return to the minors indicates that he could return to action soon. He supplied four goals and 17 points in 57 regular-season outings with AHL Abbotsford in 2023-24.

Christian Wolanin - Demoted to minors Wolanin was placed on waivers Tuesday for the purpose of assignment to AHL Abbotsford.
Impact Wolanin will return to Abbotsford where he has been highly productive -- he's produced 84 points in 91 games there over the course of the last two campaigns. The left-shot defenseman hasn't made in appearance in the NHL since the 2022-23 campaign with Vancouver.

Impact Patera posted a record of 11-10-4 with a 2.99 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 25 outings with AHL Henderson during the 2023-24 regular season. He will likely remain in the minors for most, if not all, of the upcoming campaign.

Impact Smith notched 12 goals and 31 points in 60 regular-season contests for AHL Tucson in 2023-24. He didn't earn a point in four appearances with Arizona last campaign. Smith will probably spend most, if not all, of 2024-25 in the minors.

Impact Di Giuseppe generated five goals, five assists, 52 shots on net and 93 hits in 51 games with Vancouver during the 2023-24 regular season. If he starts the 2024-25 campaign in the minors, he could be among the first recalls to the NHL if injuries arise.
