Kindl has registered seven points (1G / 6A) in 13 games with Springfield this season. He has been called-up to serve as the Panthers’ seventh defenseman with Alex Petrovic out. Kindl had two assists in 19 games with the Panthers a season ago.
Kindl, 29, has cleared waivers twice this season and has split his season between Detroit and Grand Rapids (AHL). He has six points (2G / 4A) in 25 games with the Red Wings and four points (3G / 1A) in 10 games with the Griffins. He provides the Panthers with blueline depth for nearly nothing.
The Red Wings have sent Kindl to Grand Rapids to create a roster spot and salary space for Niklas Kronwall to be activated from IR for tonight’s game vs. the Blue Jackets. Kindl has three points (2G / 1A) in nine games with the Griffins this season.
With Mike Green out, Kindl will be back in the Red Wings lineup for the first time since December 29th. Kindl has five points (2G / 3A) in 23 games with the Red Wings this season and three points (2G / 1A) in nine games with Grand Rapids (AHL).
Kindl, who cleared waivers on Sunday, has been assigned to Grand Rapids to clear roster space and cap-room to activate Kyle Quincey from IR. Kindl has shuffled in an out of the lineup this season, registering five points (2G / 3A) in 23 games.
Kindl has been battling an eye infection but he was on the ice for Red Wings’ practice on Wednesday and is expected to be in the lineup on Friday vs. the Maple Leafs. Kindl is expected to play with Brendan Smith until Danny DeKeyser returns from injury.
Tonight will be Kindl’s first playoff game of the season. He has five points (1G / 4A) in 18 career NHL play off games. After serving as a healthy scratch in the first six games of the series, he will get in tonight because Marek Zidlicky is out with a concussion.
Kindl had one goal in two games during his conditioning stint. The Red Wings likely would have liked to keep him there for a few more games, but with Kyle Quincey questionable for Saturday, Kindl has been recalled as insurance.
Kindl has not played since December 27th because of an elbow injury. He will play a few games with the Griffins before returning to the Red Wings and likely replacing Alexey Marchenko on the blue line.
Kindl has missed the last five games with an elbow injury, but was back at practice on Friday morning. He is eligible to return to the lineup on Saturday vs. the Capitals, but there is no word if he will.
Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said that Kindl is “a little banged up” and won’t play tonight. Babcock wasn’t sure if Kindl will go on IR, but if he does expect Xavier Ouellet to be recalled. Brian Lashoff will be in the lineup tonight in Boston.
Kindl served as a healthy scratch in the Red Wings’ last four games, but will draw back into the lineup tonight vs. the Senators. He will be paired with Xavier Ouellet and man the point on the second power-play unit tonight. He has four points (2G / 2A) in 16 games this season.
Kindl has missed the last seven games with a sore knee, but will replace Brian Lashoff on the Red Wings blue line tonight vs. the Devils. Kindl has registered one goal and 10 assists with a minus-11 rating in 50 games this season.
Kindl has missed the last four games with a knee injury and will likely miss all four games this week.
Kindl missed the last two games before the break with a sprained MCL. His knee has not healed enough for him to return to the Red Wings lineup on Wednesday or Thursday. The Red Wings have recalled Ryan Sproul as their seventh defenseman. Look for Kindl to return next Tuesday vs. the Devils.
Kindl will be replaced by Brendan Smith in the remaining two games and should be 100 per cent following the two-week break.
Kindl has been a healthy scratch for the last four games, but he will return tonight with Washington in town. He has one goal and 10 assists in 47 games this year.
Kindl has just one assist with a minus-1 rating in his last 10 games. With Kindl coming out that likely means Danny DeKeyser moves to the top power-play alongside Niklas Kronwall, while Brendan Smith slides onto the the second unit.
