Klingberg (lower-body) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Klingberg's MRI revealed positive results and the star defenseman could end up missing just a couple of weeks. Klingberg likely won't be out more than a month and his injury opens the door for Miro Heiskanen to play massive minutes at even-strength and on the power-play.

White (hip) has been activated from IR and assigned to Belleville (AHL) on a conditioning stint.

White will miss his seventh straight game on Thursday but he was sent to Belleville to practice with the team this week. White is 2.5 weeks into a 3-to-5 week timetable, so it looks like he could return on the front-end of that timetable.

Nutivaara (upper-body) will not travel on the Blue Jackets' three-game road trip.

Nutivaara played just 5:20 TOI before leaving Tuesday's game vs. the Golden Knights with an upper-body injury. Nutivaara did not travel with the team which means he'll miss at least three games, putting Columbus down two regular defensemen. Scott Harrington is expected to draw-in and replaces Nutivaara on Thursday and Adam Clendening was recalled from AHL to serve as the No.7 defenseman.

Markus Nutivaara
Klingberg (lower-body) will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his injury; expected to miss at least two weeks.

Klingberg left Tuesday's game with a lower-body injury and the initial diagnosis is that he will miss 2-to-4 weeks. Klingberg will undergo an MRI to determine exactly how serious it is and the Stars will likely release a detailed timetable in the coming days.

Toffoli will be back in the Kings lineup on Saturday.

Toffoli served as a healthy scratch against the Canucks on Wednesday but will play against Chicago on Saturday. Toffoli will skate on a line with Blake Lizotte and Ilya Kovalchuk and re-enters the lineup with five points (3G / 2A) in 12 games.

Tyler Toffoli
Toffoli is expected to be a healthy scratch on Wednesday.

Toffoli has not registered a point in four straight games and was an ugly minus-4 during the Kings' loss in Chicago on Sunday. Toffoli rotated on the Kings' fourth line in Tuesday's practice, suggesting that he will come out of the lineup vs. the Canucks.
