Sheldon Dries C | DET
Red Wings' Sheldon Dries: Heading back to Detroit
Dries was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday, per the NHL Media Site.
Dries was called up by the Red Wings on Tuesday in a corresponding move to Mason Appleton (undisclosed) being shifted to injured reserve. Prior to his call-up, the 32-year-old Dries was off to a strong start with AHL Grand Rapids, where he has three goals, four points and seven shots on net across two games. The Wings likely made the call-up for him to play Tuesday, so expect to see him in a bottom-six role ahead of his first NHL appearance of the campaign.

Macklin Celebrini C | SJ
Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Considered day-to-day
Head coach Ryan Warsofsky said Tuesday that Celebrini (lower body) is considered day-to-day, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Celebrini was a late scratch for Monday's road matchup against the Stars and is still being evaluated Tuesday to determine the severity of his lower-body injury. However, Warsofsky clarified Tuesday that Celebrini didn't sustain his injury during Monday's warmups. It's not yet clear whether Celebrini will be available for Thursday's game against the Blues, but he's expected to remain with the Sharks to conclude their road trip. If the 20-year-old is forced to miss additional time, Ty Dellandrea is a candidate to remain in the lineup.

Red Wings' Mason Appleton: Placed on injured reserve
Appleton (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Red Wings on Tuesday, per the NHL media site.
The Red Wings announced Tuesday that Appleton is week-to-week due to an unspecified injury, so it isn't particularly surprising to see him land on injured reserve. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but Carter Mazur is a candidate to see increased time in the lineup during Appleton's absence.

Jansen Harkins C | TB
Lightning's Jansen Harkins: Placed on waivers
Harkins was placed on waivers by the Lightning on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Harkins signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Lightning in July and began the regular season on the NHL roster. He appeared in just one of the team's first three games of the regular season, and he was held scoreless with four hits, one shot on goal and a minus-1 rating in 10:55 of ice time. He'll likely head to the minors if he clears waivers, and he should see more consistent playing time with the AHL club.
