Kevin Orleman will stay in the lineup with Hartley’s continued absence. The veteran goaltender played 58 seconds last week, his first game action since February 19, 2023 for the Riptide. 

Warriors Innies 

Unfortunately for the Warriors, their injury woes do not seem to have gotten any better over the bye week. As of now, they have not announced the return of any of their injured players. 

Warriors Ouchies

Riley Lowen, Steph Charbonneau, Brad McCulley, and Ryan Sheridan 

Riley Lowen, Steph Charbonneau, Brad McCulley, and Ryan Sheridan all remain on the injured list and will be out Friday. 

San Diego Seals vs Colorado Mammoth

Seals Innies 

Kyle Jackson

The Seals activated Kyle Jackson this week, who will look to make his first appearance of the 2024-2025 season. Jackson had previously been on the holdout list but had 15 goals and 20 assists last season in 16 games for the Seals. 

Seals Ouchies 

Tre Leclaire, Patrick Shoemay, Trevor Baptiste, Jacob Power

The injuries have piled up for San Diego, as they added Tre Leclaire to the Injured Reserve on Saturday. Leclaire missed the Seals overtime loss against the Swarm Saturday night. Patrick Shoemay, Trevor Baptiste, and Jacob Power continue to remain on the Injured List as well. 

Mammoth Ouchies 

Brett Craig, Ryan Mclean, Aj Mercurio, Tyson Gibson, Brent Mitchell

The Mammoth released their injury report Friday morning ahead of the game. Brett Craig, AJ Mercurio, and Ryan McLean remain OUT for the Mammoth, while Tyson Gibson and Brent Mitchell are listed as questionable. Neither Gibson nor Mitchell played last weekend in the victory over Vegas. 

Vegas Desert Dogs vs Philadelphia Wings 

Vegas Ouchies 

Marshal King, Justin Geddie 

Marshal King and Justin Geddie remain out for the Dogs, who will be otherwise healthy Saturday

Wings Ouchies 

Tony Malcom, Michael Sowers 

Tony Malcom was added to the Injured List by the Wings on Wednesday, and was replaced by Nathan Fehr. Fehr has yet to make his NLL debut after playing in the OJLL this past summer for the St. Catharines Athletics. 

Sowers was acquired from the Wings in a trade, but is not expected to play this week for the Wings. 

Wings Innies 

Ryan Wagner

Wagner was activated from the Short Term Holdout list on December 6th. The long-time Philadelphia defender has yet to play this season.

Calgary Roughnecks vs Albany Firewolves 

Roughnecks Innies 

Tyler Pace 

The headliner of the whole league this weekend, Tyler Pace finally signed this week for the Roughnecks and was added to the Active Roster. He is set to make his debut this season on Saturday. The 29 year old is 10th all time in Roughnecks scoring, with 337 points in his career. 

Roughnecks Ouchies 

Haiden DIckson, Nathaniel Kozevnikov

While Dickson remains on the Injured Reserve, Kozevnikov was released by the Roughnecks to make room for Pace. 

Firewolves Innies 

Ethan Walker 

Walker was sent to the short-term holdout list before the game in Toronto for undisclosed reasons. If he can return this week for the Firewolves, their already potent offence will get even sharper. 

Firewolves Ouchies 

Nick Chaycowsky

The Team Canada defender was sent to the Injured Reserve before their game in Toronto last week and has yet to be activated to the Active Roster. However, Head Coach Glenn Clark did tell Adam Levi this week that Chaykowsky was expected to play this week.

Toronto Rock vs Georgia Swarm 

Rock Innies 

Brad Kri 

A little bit of good news for the Rock came this week with Kri being activated from the Holdout list this morning. He has yet to make his season debut this year but has been one of the best defenders in the league for the Rock for several seasons.

Chris Corbeil, Latrell Harris, Challen Rogers, Tom Schreiber, TD Ierlan

The worst injury situation in the league right now is without question the Rock. Missing nearly their entire leadership group, the Rock are heading to Georgia significantly short-handed. Corbeil was added to the Injured Reserve this morning, while the other four all missed last week’s game against Albany. 

Georgia Innies 

The Swarm have not added anyone to the Injured Reserve this season and look to be at full strength on Saturday. 

Halifax Thunderbirds vs Saskatchewan Rush

Thunderbirds Innies

Jake Withers 

After serving a one-game suspension which carried over from last season, Withers is set to make his season debut Saturday night. Waiting for him is new Rush faceoff man Jake Naso, who was one of the NCAA’s best during his career at Duke. 

Thunderbirds Ouchies

Cody Jamieson

The Thunderbirds announced Friday that Cody Jamieson would not play this weekend while being placed on the holdout list due to a personal matter.

Enjoy the action and check back next week for more!
