Lindgren (upper body) is not expected to be ready for Wednesday's Opening Night matchup with the Penguins, Jim Cerny of NHL.com reports.

Lindgren has been trending toward sitting out the first game of the NHL season since he was originally expected to miss 2-3 weeks due to his upper-body problem. Without Lindgren in the lineup, Victor Mancini has been making a push for a spot on the blue line, though he'll need to edge out veteran Chad Ruhwedel for a place on the third pairing.
