The Ducks placed Hampus Lindholm (lower-body) on IR.

Lindholm missed last night’s game with a lower-body injury and was moved to IR. This is another big loss for the Ducks’ blueline that is already without Cam Fowler. Lindholm’s move to IR means that he will miss at least the next two games. Brandon Montour stepped up huge in Lindholm’s absence on Sunday, collecting one goal and two assists in the overtime loss.

Arvidsson will miss 6-8 weeks with a broken thumb.

Arvidsson missed three games with a lower-body injury before returning last Saturday, when he suffered a broken thumb. Arvidsson will be out until at least late-December, which means Kevin Fiala and Colton Sissons will continue to see expanded roles. Top prospects Elli Tolvanen could be called up to fill-in for Arvidsson.

McAvoy (concussion) will not travel on the Bruins upcoming road-trip.

McAvoy has missed the last eight games with a concussion and isn’t expected to return any time soon. McAvoy will not travel at the start of the Bruins road-trip, so he’ll miss at least Wednesday’s game in Colorado and likely their back-to-back on Friday and Saturday.

The Devils have recalled Pavel Zacha from Binghamton (AHL).

Zacha struggled to start the season with New Jersey, failing to pick up a point in his first 10 games. Since being sent to Binghamton, the former No.6 overall pick had five assists in four games. Zacha has been brought back up because Brian Boyle has landed on IR.

The Predators have placed Viktor Arvidsson (upper-body) on IR.

Arvidsson was activated from IR with a lower-body injury for Saturday’s game, but was forced to leave the game with an upper-body injury. Arvidsson was hurt while crashing into the boards and will miss at least the next three games. With Arvidsson back out, Kevin Fiala will likely move back to the top line.

The Predators have activated Viktor Arvidsson (lower-body) has been activated from IR.

Arvidsson has missed the last three games but is set to return on Saturday afternoon after being activated from IR. Arvidsson has picked up 12 points (8G / 4A) in 12 games this season and will likely reclaim his spot on the top line today.

Arvidsson (lower-body) is not expected to play on Wednesday.

Arvidsson was placed on IR on Monday, but was on the ice for Tuesday’s practice and Wednesday’s morning skate but is not expected to play in Colorado. It’s a good sign that Arvidsson was on the ice for two straight days, so there’s a chance that he plays Saturday in Dallas.
