NHL Player News

Carlo (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site.

Carlo was injured Monday in Colorado and missed Tuesday's tilt in Arizona. The defenseman has two goals, eight assists, 51 hits and 71 blocked shots in 39 games this season. Mason Lohrei replaced Carlo in the Bruins lineup Tuesday and has been partnered with Charlie McAvoy on the first pairing.

Heinola (ankle) has been medically cleared and will be reassigned to AHL Manitoba on Thursday, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

Heinola will suit up for the first time this season with the Moose but will have to wait a while to make his NHL season debut. Over the last four seasons, the 22-year-old blueliner has logged just 25 NHL contests. As such, fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on him featuring prominently for the Jets this year.

Suter logged an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Wild.

Suter -- who is still on the Wild's payroll after a buyout in 2021 -- was able to get a little revenge against his former team with one of his best outings of the season. The defenseman has two points and a plus-9 rating over his last six games. He's seen less ice time since his regular defense partner, Miro Heiskanen, suffered a lower-body injury. Suter is at eight points, 54 shots on net and 53 blocked shots through 40 outings but may be best suited for a bottom-four role at this stage in his career.

Trouba (personal) will play in St. Louis on Thursday, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Trouba missed practice Tuesday and there was some doubt that he'd be available versus the Blues, but that has been put to rest. Trouba has three goals, 13 assists, 95 hits and 123 blocked shots in 39 games this season.

Zub (illness) is slated to return to the lineup versus Buffalo on Thursday.

Zub will be back after just one game on the shelf due to his illness. With just one goal in his last 23 games to go with six helpers, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting an offensive burst out of the blueliner. With Zub returning and Josh Norris (upper body) unavailable, the Senators will utilize seven defensemen against the Sabres.

Sandin (upper body) will not be in the lineup versus Seattle on Thursday, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Sandin will be shelved for a third consecutive game due to his upper-body problem. While the blueliner has yet to score a goal this season, he was finding his offensive stride before getting hurt with five helpers in his last five contests, including a pair of power-play helpers.

Walman (illness) will play versus Edmonton on Thursday.

Walman missed practice Wednesday, but he has recovered enough to play against the Oilers. Walman has nine goals, eight assists, 22 PIM and 103 blocked shots in 37 games this season.

Lundkvist scored his first goal of the season and added an assist in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Wild.

The 23-year-old blueliner helped set up Matt Duchene for a tally in the second period before potting his own in the third. Lundqvist has found a groove since Christmas, delivering five points in his last six games with seven shots on net, six hits, six blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-7 rating. With Miro Heiskanen (lower body) sidelined, Lundqvist is also seeing time on the second power-play unit, although Thomas Harley has been the biggest beneficiary of Heiskanen's absence.

Lindell notched three assists in Wednesday's 7-2 rout of the Wild.

Seven different Stars found the back of the net, but Lindell was the main facilitator of the team's offense. It's the first three-point game of the season for the 29-year-old blueliner, and over the last 14 contests he's collected a solid two goals and nine points. Lindell hasn't topped 25 points since 2018-19, but he's currently on pace to surpass the career-high 32 points he produced that season.

Drysdale picked up a power-play assist in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Canadiens.

The former Duck wasted no time making an impact with his new club, feeding Morgan Frost for a tally midway through the second period that tied the game at 2-2. Drysdale saw a healthy workload in his Flyers debut -- only Travis Sanheim saw more ice time among the team's blueliners. Drysdale, the sixth overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, has the skill to provide an immediate jolt to a Philly power play that ranks 31st on the season with a woeful 11.4 percent success rate.
