NHL Injury Updates
Eric Stephens: Anaheim Ducks defenseman Hampus Lindholm is eligible to be activated from the IR on Thursday but it’s not known if he will be. His lower-body injury has been a lingering issue since the last week of October.
Joe Haggerty: Boston Bruins forward Jake DeBrusk (lower-body) appears unlikely for Tuesday’s game. They are hopeful that he’ll be ready for the weekend’s game against the Maple Leafs.
Boston Bruins: Coach Bruce Cassidy said that forwards Joakim Nordstrom and Par Lindholm appear to be ready to return to the lineup.
Forward David Backes is feeling better but there is no further update.
