-
Colton Sissons has been out with an upper-body injury for Vegas, with updates through early 2026 indicating he was not in the lineup for several games and then returned as the team managed a busy schedule around Olympic-related absences. CBS Sports noted he was out for multiple games around January 2026 and was not expected to return until after the Olympic break, with the team describing him as day-to-day earlier in the year [CBS Sports, 2026-01-19]. The Vegas rotation and timing around the Olympic break were repeatedly cited in various outlets as factors affecting his availability [CBS Sports, 2026-01-19].
-
He did return to action in late February 2026, with reports confirming he was available for a game against the Los Angeles Kings after missing roughly 12 straight games prior to the break [CBS Sports, 2026-02-24]. Subsequent updates in April 2026 indicated he remained in the mix as a depth forward on a Vegas team dealing with injuries and schedule congestion, with some outlets noting he was on the checking line and potentially moving up if needed [FOX Sports, 2026-04-19].
-
For context, earlier seasons show Sissons dealing with a mix of upper- and lower-body injuries, keeping him in and out of the lineup at times and affecting his fantasy value; several outlets have tracked his injury status and availability across seasons, including 2024–25 and earlier [Yardbarker, 2024-05-05; DailyFaceoff, 2024-11-09].
One quick note: injury timelines in professional hockey can shift rapidly with team conditioning plans, Olympic breaks, and back-to-back games, so the latest official status may have changed after these reports. If you’d like, I can pull the absolute latest update from a current sports news source and summarize it with citations.
