Lindholm will be back in the Hurricanes lineup on Tuesday.

Lindholm served as a healthy scratch on Saturday, but will be back in tonight in Anaheim. He will return to the top-line with Eric and Jordan Staal. He has 20 points (9G / 11A) in 48 games, which puts the 20-year-old just two points away from a new career-high.

The Sabres have suspended Nikita Zadorov for failure to report.

Zadorov was in the Dominican Republic during the All Star break. He was unable to return in-time to make practice on Monday, so he has been suspended by the team. He will not play tonight, but is expected to join the team at some point during their road-trip this week.

The Bruins will keep David Pastrnak past the nine-game mark.

Pastrnak appeared in his ninth game last night, and the Bruins announced that he will be sticking with the team, burning the first year of his entry-level contract. He has recorded four goals, one assist and a plus-6 rating in nine games. He is the type of game-breaking offensive talent the Bruins needed.

The Bruins have sent David Pastrnak back to Providence (AHL).

Pastrnak served as a healthy scratch in the Bruins win over Arizona on Saturday. The 2014 first round pick (25th overall) had one assist in five games during his recall. He heads back to the AHL where he has five goals and 13 assists (18 points) in 18 games.

On Wednesday, the Hurricanes recalled Elias Lindholm from Charlotte (AHL).

Lindholm had been reassigned to the Swedish team for the 2014 International Ice Hockey Federation’s World Junior Championship. Lindholm scored two goals and added seven assists (9 points) in six games during the tournament, helping Sweden capture the silver medal. Carolina’s first-round selection, fifth overall, in the 2013 NHL Draft, Lindholm has played 21 NHL games for Carolina this season, totaling seven points (3G / 4A).

The Hurricanes are trying to get Elias Lindholm to Buffalo for Tuesday's game.

Lindholm was with Team Sweden in Sweden for the World Junior Championships. Weather is making it difficult for him to get to Buffalo, but should he make it, he will likely be in the lineup on Tuesday. Lindholm was tied for seventh in tournament scoring with two goals and seven assists (9 points) in seven games.
