Chychrun was a minus-3 last night in Chicago and will get the night off tonight in St. Louis. Kevin Connauton is expected to draw in and replace the third-year defenseman, who has five goals and 14 assists (19 points) in 47 games this season.

With Antti Niemi struggling mightily as of late, Lindgren comes up as a third goalie and could give Carey Price some rest down the stretch. The 25-year-old has gone 11-14-1 with a 2.94 GAA and 884 SV% in the AHL this season and is 7-8-2 with a 2.78 GAA and .914 SV% in 17 career NHL appearances.

Jenner missed the Blue Jackets morning skate and will not play against the Islanders. Eric Robinson will suit up and skate with Nick Foligno and Josh Anderson.

Kampf has missed the last 12 games with a right foot injury but will play tonight vs. the Sabres. Kampf, who has three goals and 13 assists (16 points) in 50 games this season, will centre the fourth line with Chris Kunitz and Marcus Kruger.


Jenner stayed back in Columbus while the team went to Chicago for a quick one-game road-trip, but is ready to play Monday vs. the Lightning. Jenner will replace Anthony Duclair in the lineup and comes into play with 26 points (10G / 16A) in 53 games this season.

Jenner will not play Saturday in Chicago due to an undisclosed injury, so look for Kole Sherwood to make his NHL debut in his place.

Kampf is expected to miss at least 2-3 more weeks, so he was moved to IR to open up a roster spot. Expect Dylan Sikura to remain with the Blackhawks while Kampf is out.


Kampf was forced to leave Tuesday’s game in Edmonton with a foot injury and will miss at least three weeks. Brendan Perlini figures to draw back into the lineup to replace Kampf on Thursday.


Jenner has missed the last three games but was on the ice for Monday’s practice and will be a game-time decision in Colorado. Jenner is expected to skate on the third line with Josh Anderson and Anthony Duclair if he plays.


The injuries continue to pile-up for Arizona, who are without Chychrun, Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Jason Demers on the blueline as they head to San Jose. “He tweaked something and we just want to nip it in the bud,” head coach Rick Tocchet told reporters.

The Capitals return to the ice on Friday and Ovechkin will not play vs. the Flames. With their top-left winger out, Chandler Stephenson will move to the top-line with Nicklas Backstrom and T.J. Oshie. Ovechkin will be back in the lineup Sunday vs. the Bruins.
