Welcome to the NHL Buzz. Each day during the regular season, NHL.com has you covered with all the latest news.

Utah Hockey Club

Dylan Guenther will be out indefinitely for Utah with a lower-body injury.

The 21-year-old forward sustained the injury on a hit from Aleksander Barkov during a 4-1 loss to the Florida Panthers on Wednesday.

Guenther leads Utah with 16 goals and is third on the team with 34 points in 40 games. He signed an eight-year contract on Sep. 20.

Coach Andre Tourigny said, "it's long, but not that long," when asked if the injury was season ending. Tourigny also said Guenther was in the building on Friday morning to start his rehab.

Forward Josh Doan was recalled from Tucson of the American Hockey League on Friday. He has 21 points (eight goals, 13 assists) in 25 games since being assigned there on Oct. 28.

Doan has two points (one goal, one assist) in 10 NHL games this season.

Calgary Flames

Connor Zary will be out indefinitely for the Flames because of a knee injury that will not require surgery.

The forward sustained the injury when he collided with Anaheim Ducks defenseman Drew Helleson at 6:34 of the second period during a 3-2 overtime win on the road Tuesday. Zary was helped off the ice and did not return.

Helleson received a major penalty for kneeing and a game misconduct.

Zary has 22 points (10 goals, 12 assists) in 40 games this season, his second in the NHL. He had 34 points (14 goals, 20 assists) in 63 games with the Flames last season. Zary was selected by Calgary in the first round (No. 24) of the 2020 NHL Draft.

The Flames recalled forward Rory Kerins from Calgary of the American Hockey League on Friday. He leads the AHL with 21 goals and is second with 34 points in 34 games this season.

Calgary hosts the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday (10 p.m. ET; CBC, SN, CITY, FDSNW).

Dallas Stars

Mason Marchment is expected to be out 3-4 weeks after the forward had surgery to repair facial injuries he sustained when he was hit in the face by a deflected shot in a game against the Minnesota Wild on Dec. 27.

Marchment was in front of the net when Stars teammate Logan Stankoven tipped a shot by Evgenii Dadonov that hit Marchment under his visor. He's missed the past six games.

"No further details other than he's had the surgery and they were thinking it would be 3-4 weeks from the surgical date before he could be back," Stars coach Peter DeBoer said Thursday. "We're still a long way to that. Nose and facial area, wasn't an orbital bone area. He had a lot of stuff going on there."

Marchment is fifth on the Stars with 27 points (12 goals, 15 assists) in 33 games. -- Adam Kimelman
