Ponomarev is being evaluated for an upper-body injury suffered in Tuesday's preseason game versus the Red Wings.
Ponomarev has had a strong preseason, but this injury could hinder his chances of making the Opening Night roster. The 22-year-old exited the game in the second period after a hard collision with the boards. He is day-to-day ahead of Thursday's preseason game in Columbus.
