Lindholm left Friday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return.
It's getting close to decision time on whether or not to burn Lindholm’s first year of his entry level deal. Lindholm’s recurring "upper-body" problems could make that decision a little easier on Carolina. Consider his day-to-day.
Lindholm will play tonight.
Lindholm status for tonight was up in the air after suffering an arm laceration on Sunday. He will be back in his regular spot as the Hurricanes fourth line centre.

Lindholm played just 7:34 with a minus-1 rating yesterday. He went to the locker room briefly because of an arm laceration, but did return. He continued to practice on the first power-play unit this morning so he should be considered probable for tomorrow's game.
Elias Lindholm (shoulder) is back at practice today, skating on the fourth line with Brett Sutter and Kevin Westgarth.
He missed the tail-end of the preseason with the shoulder ailment. The fifth overall pick cracked the roster regardless of the injury and appears set to make his NHL debut on Friday.
Rutherford said Elias Lindholm (hand injury) would be on the opening night roster. Then decision to be made if he needs games in Charlotte.
Lindholm was selected with the fifth overall pick in this year's draft. Lindholm has some of the best hands available in this year's draft. Keep an eye on Lindholm early in the season, he would be a great pickup (especially in a keeper league) if he sticks with Carolina.
The Carolina Hurricanes on Monday signed their top 2013 NHL Draft pick, 18-year-old forward Elias Lindholm, to a three-year, entry-level contract during a news conference to introduce him to the local media.
Lindholm's game is said to be more of a two-way style so while GM Jim Rutherford expects Lindholm to be with the Canes when training camp starts, he isn't expected to have much fantasy impact.
