Seeler missed Monday’s practice with some “soreness” and he will miss Tuesday’s game vs. the Hurricanes as well. The rookie defenseman has two assists in 11 games with the Wild since being recalled and all be replaced by Gustav Olofsson tonight.
Seeler has 12 points (2G/10A) in 49 games with Iowa (AHL) this season. The Wild have not announced who will draw out of the lineup in favour of Seeler.
Thompson returned to practice Monday but has yet to be cleared to play. He's getting closer but remains without a timetable for his return.
Thompson has missed some time with a lower-body injury earlier this season and has re-aggravated the injury. Thompson joins Mark Stone, Derick Brassard, Bobby Ryan and Gabriel Dumont as injured Senators forwards, so they will go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen tonight—a call-up from Binghamton (AHL) will be made this afternoon as well.
Thompson will miss his second straight game tonight and will miss the next two games before the break as well. With Thompson still out, Colin White will remain in the Senators lineup tonight.
Thompson missed Saturday’s game vs. the Lightning after getting hurt on Friday and will miss at least two more games. Thompson could be back when the Senators return from their bye week.
Thompson left Friday’s game vs. the Sharks with a lower-body injury after playing just 1:09 TOI. With Thompson sidelined for Saturday’s game, the Senators recalled Colin White from Belleville (AHL) and he will make his season debut tonight.
Jaromir Jagr was unavailable for Tuesday’s game vs. the Maple Leafs so Hathaway’s recall suggests that Jagr won’t be available on Thursday. The heavy winger (6-foot-2 / 208 lbs.) has registered 11 goals and eight assists (19 points) in 18 games with Stockton this season.
This summer’s No.10 overall pick lasted seven games with the Panthers, registering one goal over that span. Tippett will return to Mississauga, where he had 44 goals 31 assists (75 points) in 60 games last season.
