Tennyson has not be in the lineup for the last four games and will go on IR to open up a roster spot to recall Kyle Criscuolo from Rochester (AHL).
Fedun played just 10:22 TOI in Tuesday’s overtime loss in Pittsburgh, suggesting he left early with an undisclosed injury. In a corresponding move, the Sabres recalled Casey Nelson from Rochester (AHL).
Nelson has one goal and three assists in 14 games with the Americans this season. The 25-year-old defenseman has four assists in 18 career NHL games and could make his season debut in Detroit on Friday.

Paul was sent back to Belleville after the Senators got home from Sweden because they had four days off. On Wednesday the Senators skated with 11 forwards and seven defensemen, but Paul’s call-up suggests that he may play and Chris Wideman will be a healthy scratch. The 22-year-old has five assists in 12 AHL games this season and five points (2G / 3A) in 26 career NHL games.
Lindback has gone 8-3-0 with a 2.46 GAA and .918 SV% in 11 starts with Milwaukee this season. With Juuse Saros struggling with the Predators, Lindback comes up to serve as the Predators’ No.2 netminder for the time being. The 29-year-old has a 2.87 GAA and .904 SV% in 130 career NHL games.
It looked like Saros would have a chance to carve out a nice role this season after going 10-8-3 with a 2.35 GAA and .923 SV% last year. This year did not start well, with the 22-year-old going 1-3-0 with a 3.94 GAA and .855 SV% in his first four starts. Anders Lindback has been recalled to serve as the Predators No.2 netminder.

Lindholm was at the rink this morning but did not take part in the morning skate, leaving him as a game-time decision against the Bruins. It’s a late start, making Lindholm a very risky daily fantasy pick, but monitor his status when the Ducks hit the ice for warmups.
Gibson allowed two goals on 37 shots in the Ducks’ loss to the Lightning on Sunday and the game would have been much more lopsided if it weren’t for Gibson’s play. Gibson comes into Wednesday on a personal four-game losing streak, posting a 3.14 GAA and .906 SV% in the process.
Dubnyk stopped all 30 shots that he faced in the Wild’s shutout win over the Flyers on Tuesday. Dubnyk has now posted three straight shutouts, turning aside all 103 shots that he has faced.

Grimaldi picked up one goal and two assists in five games with the Avalanche during his call-up, but he will swap placed with Vladislav Kamenev and head back to San Antonio and await another opportunity.
Kamenev, 21, was acquired in the Matt Duchene traded and has picked up four assists in four games with San Antonio since, bringing his season total to 12 points (3G / 8A) in 14 AHL games. Kamenev will likely make his Avalanche debut Thursday vs. the Capitals—he will skate with Sven Andrighetto and Nail Yakupov.
Anderson stopped all eight shots that he faced after replacing Mike Condon in the Senators win over the Avalanche on Saturday. The win moved Anderson to 3-1-0 with a 2.60 GAA and .895 SV% in four November appearances and tonight he makes his first start of the season vs. Pittsburgh. The 36-year-old comes into Thursday at 4-3-3 with a 3.45 GAA and .886 SV% on home ice this season.
