Injured ReserveEach team will have one Injured Reserve slot. Players on IR count against the cap, but do not count against the roster size, allowing for teams to add a replacement player via FA or call-up from minors while the injured player is out. Any player missing games for any type of injury, whether they're day to day or out longterm, is eligible for IR. Basically, if there's a red flag next to their name on Fantrax, they are eligible. Once a player on IR is healthy and back to NHL action they may remain on IR until the end of the current season, at which point all IR players who are healthy will be added back to their teams 30 man roster. Longterm Injured ReserveEach team will have one Longterm IR slot. Players on LTIR do not count against the cap. LTIR is intended for players who are expected be out for an extended period of time: at least 10 games or 24 days. Once a player on LTIR is healthy and back to NHL action they may remain on LTIR until the end of the current season, at which point all LTIR players who are healthy will be added back to their teams 30 man roster.
