NHL Player News

Pinto (lower body) was injured versus the Rangers on Thursday and won't return to the game.

Pinto can be considered day-to-day until more information is available. He was injured on a hit in the first period. His status should be updated prior to Saturday's game versus the Blues.

Seguin (knee) is on injured reserve, per the NHL media site.

Seguin was already expected to be out long term, so this move isn't surprising. He has seven goals and 17 points in 27 appearances this season. The full extent of his ACL injury isn't known, but if it's a tear, then this will likely be the second straight regular season in which Seguin has logged fewer than 30 games.

Edstrom (lower body) will miss Thursday's game against Ottawa, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Edstrom also missed Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Dallas. He has two goals and four points in 24 appearances this season. Edstrom might draw back into a fourth-line spot once he's healthy.

Rossi (lower body) will not join the team on its current four-game road trip, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports Thursday.

The Wild opened the road trip Tuesday with a 1-0 win in Edmonton. Rossi will miss his 10th straight game Thursday in Calgary. Rossi had four goals and nine assists in 17 games before he was placed on injured reserve.

Kapanen scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Jets.

Kapanen also led the Canadiens' forwards with 20:07 of ice time as the team relied heavily on its top six. The 22-year-old has two goals and two helpers over his last eight games. He's played well enough to carve out consistent middle-six minutes from the start of the season, but he's definitely trending up with 16-plus minutes in three straight games. On the year, he has eight goals, six helpers, 38 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 14 hits and a plus-3 rating through 26 outings.

Glendening's point drought reached 15 games in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Stars.

While none of the Devils had a particularly good game Wednesday, Glendening has now gone over a month without a point. That's to be expected for a player who sees mostly defensive usage in a fourth-line role. The 36-year-old has three assists, 16 shots on net, 35 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 27 appearances this season. Glendening's place in the lineup should remain safe until Jack Hughes (finger) is healthy, which isn't expected to happen until early January.

Monahan (undisclosed) will play in Thursday's game against the Red Wings, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Monahan exited Monday's win over New Jersey due to an undisclosed injury, but he'll be able to suit up a few days later. He hasn't yet missed a game this season, and he's recorded five goals, eight assists, 17 hits, eight PIM and six blocked shots while averaging 18:31 of ice time over 26 appearances.

Eller (undisclosed) will sit out Thursday's game against the Rangers, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Eller was likely injured Tuesday in Montreal, as he logged only 10:49 of ice time. He has been without a point in his last 14 games and has two goals and six points in 26 appearances this season. The Senators recalled Stephen Halliday from AHL Belleville to replace Eller in the lineup.

Pinelli was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Thursday.

The 20-year-old made his NHL debut Nov. 26 against Toronto and has played three games with the Blue Jackets, picking up two shots on goal in each contest. Pinelli had five goals and five assists in 13 AHL games before his promotion.

Halliday was recalled from AHL Belleville on Thursday.

Halliday made his NHL debut two weeks ago and played four games with the Senators, picking up one assist before returning to Belleville. The 23-year-old center had three assists in two AHL games on the weekend, giving him one goal and 18 helpers with Belleville before his recall Thursday.
