Overview
- The Bruins said Hampus Lindholm sustained a lower-body injury and did not return against the Blackhawks after logging 4:25 across six shifts.
- The Rangers announced Vincent Trocheck exited with an upper-body injury and did not return against the Sabres.
- Wild coach John Hynes told reporters Jonas Brodin remains out following offseason upper-body surgery but described his return as imminent.
- Lindholm missed most of last season with a broken kneecap, appearing in only 17 games after averaging heavy minutes and regular special-teams work when healthy.
- Trocheck centers Artemi Panarin and works both special teams, including the top power play and key penalty-kill minutes, raising short-term lineup and special-teams questions if he misses time.
