Coach Claude Julien said after the 2-1 victory that it was "obviously a lower body injury where he couldn't come back" and that Seidenberg would be evaluated after the team returned to Boston.

Monitor his status following Thursday's morning skate for an injury update.
Gionta twisted his ankle in practice on Tuesday but is good-to-go tonight. Gionta is not fantasy relevant, he has one assist in 19 games.
Duchene will miss Thursday's game vs. Phoenix and Saturday against Los Angeles. He could return next Wednesday when the Avalanche take on the Blues.
Stars coach Lindy Ruff did not have much of an update after practice. “I know he got hit in the face and he’s going to be evaluated,” Ruff said. “He hit him pretty hard, so we are concerned there might be some damage.” At this point, Chiasson’s status for Thursday’s game against the New York Rangers at is up in the air.
Backstrom would be eligible to return whenever he is healthy. There has been no word on how Backstrom is feeling or how serious his concussion is. Consider him out indefinitely as the Wild will continue to roll with Josh Harding as their starter and Darcy Kuemper as his backup.
Marleau was reportedly fine after the accident and his presence on the ice this morning confirmed that. He is good to go for Thursday vs. Tampa Bay.
Burns has missed 13 games, but could be back tomorrow. We have been here before with Burns and this injury - it looks like he is close and then he doesn't play. I won't get anyone's hopes up, monitor his status following tomorrow's morning skate.

Whitney has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury that he suffered on November 9. He is on IR retroactive to the 9th, which means he is eligible to return when he is healthy. The 41-year-old veteran has one goal and seven assists in 17 games this season. Monitor his status following Thursday's gameday skate.

Weiss will miss his fifth straight game. He has been disappointing in his short time in Detroit, recording just two goals and one assist in 17 games. Monitor his status prior to Saturday's game with the Senators.

Quick will likely be out until Christmas, which means Ben Scrivens will serve as a viable fantasy option for another month. Scrivens is 4-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA and .963 SV% with two shutouts since becoming the Kings starter.

This is a tough break for Quick, because this could hurt his chances of making Team U.S.A's Olympic team.

While the minimum amount of time spent on the injured reserve list is seven calendar days, there is no maximum amount of time that a player can be placed on the injured reserve list. If a player is set to be sidelined for longer than 24 calendar days or 10 NHL games, then a club may opt to place them on the long-term injured reserve instead. This allows franchises with the ability to exceed the salary cap while a player is placed on this reserve list.
No injury recovery timeline is the same as another as there are several factors that go into the rehab process for a player being affected by injury. Factors include but are not limited to, injury severity, player injury/medical history, age, as well as the location of the injury. Some injuries are able to clear up in a matter of days, while others may take an athlete out of action for the entirety of a season.
