Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Wednesday that he hopes Gostisbehere (lower body) will start skating again soon, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

Gostisbehere has missed the last three games due to his lower-body injury, and he'll likely be unavailable for a fourth consecutive matchup Thursday against Chicago since he hasn't yet resumed skating. Over 35 appearances this season, he's recorded six goals, 26 assists, 42 blocked shots and 14 PIM while averaging 20:08 of ice time.

Sweezey was assigned to AHL Providence on Wednesday.

Sweezey hasn't made his Boston debut yet and was a healthy scratch in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to Dallas. He has one goal, 11 points and a plus-22 rating through 34 AHL games this season.

Mikkola (undisclosed) is expected to be available for Thursday's game against Winnipeg, per Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.

Mikkola suffered the injury during Monday's 4-1 loss to San Jose, but it seems he won't miss a full game due to the injury. He has a goal, eight points, 35 PIM, 49 shots, 79 hits and 52 blocks in 48 appearances in 2025-26.

Ahcan was recalled from AHL Colorado on Wednesday.

Ahcan has been in the minors since mid-November, but he'll rejoin the NHL club with two weeks remaining before the Olympic break. The 28-year-old blueliner will likely have an opportunity to play for the Avalanche until Devon Toews (upper body) is ready to return to the lineup.

Toews (upper body) will not be available for the Avalanche's next two games, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports Wednesday.

Toews is reportedly getting close to making his return, but he's unlikely to be an option for Wednesday's game against Anaheim and Friday's matchup against Philadelphia. The blueliner has already missed seven games due to his upper-body injury. Prior to his absence, Toews had a 15-game goal drought during which he generated five assists, 33 shots and 25 blocks.

Faber scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

That's now three goals and seven helpers over the last nine outings for Faber. The 23-year-old defenseman has been a steady source of offense all season, collecting 31 points (11 goals, 20 assists) over 51 appearances. He's added 111 shots on net, 108 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating while seeing steady top-pairing minutes.

Struble logged an assist and four hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

Struble had been out of the lineup for four of the last five games, and he'd gone five contests without a point. The 24-year-old has three assists over 18 appearances since the start of December. Struble is at seven helpers, 12 shots on net, 69 hits, 36 PIM, 17 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 37 appearances this season. With the Canadiens' blue line at full strength, Struble and Arber Xhekaj are most often competing for one spot in the lineup.

Guhle notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

Guhle was sidelined for 39 games due to a groin injury, and his helper Tuesday was his first point in five appearances since he returned. He's at three points, 13 shots on net, 11 PIM, 22 hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 10 contests. Guhle will likely be in the lineup a majority of the time, though he was scratched once since he returned to help manage his workload.

Carrier scored a goal on five shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

Carrier has four goals over his last five games. The 29-year-old defenseman isn't known for his offense, but he's finding ways to contribute from a bottom-four role on the blue line. He's up to five goals, 16 points, 40 shots on net, 113 blocked shots, 22 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-3 rating across 50 appearances this season. Carrier looks to be a fixture in the lineup thanks to his shutdown skills.

Morrow notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Kings.

Morrow nearly had his first goal as a Ranger, but it was later ruled that Will Cuylle got a touch on the puck before it went in. The 23-year-old Morrow has earned three helpers over his last four outings, doubling his total to six assists on the season. He's added 21 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 23 appearances. He'll continue to see bottom-four minutes until Adam Fox (lower body) returns from long-term injured reserve.
