Overview

  • Lundeström’s IR placement is retroactive to Dec. 27 after a lower-body injury at practice, and he was labeled week-to-week.
  • Under NHL rules, he is first eligible to return Sunday against the Penguins.
  • The club turned to Dysin Mayo from AHL Cleveland on an emergency basis as defensive options narrowed.
  • Zach Werenski and Erik Gudbranson remain on injured reserve, leaving Columbus with limited healthy defensemen.
  • Pro Hockey Rumors indicates Brendan Smith may be the defenseman unavailable for Wednesday’s game against the Devils, though the team has not confirmed this.
