Drysdale (undisclosed) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Ducks.

While officially an undisclosed injury, Drysdale was on the receiving end of a high elbow from Ross Johnston. The 23-year-old Drysdale can be considered day-to-day for now. If he misses time, Noah Juulsen will draw into the lineup.

Fleury (upper body) was sent to the hospital after crashing into the end boards during Tuesday's game versus the Golden Knights.

Fleury's head and back took the brunt of the hit as he was shoved by Keegan Kolesar and fell into the boards. A timeline for Fleury's return will be established after he is thoroughly evaluated. He just came back from a concussion Dec. 19 after missing more than a month. Logan Stanley (suspension) will likely retake a spot in the lineup Thursday versus the Oilers.

Morrow was recalled from AHL Hartford on Tuesday.

Morrow has generated a mere three points in 16 NHL games for the Rangers this year, so fantasy managers probably shouldn't be expecting him to produce much in the way of offense even if he does get into the lineup. With Adam Fox (lower body) placed on long-term injured reserve, Morrow may be in New York for the long haul.

Fox (lower body) will be placed on long-term injured reserve, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports Tuesday.

Fox had one goal, one assist, five shots on net and four blocked shots in three games after missing 14 contests because of an upper-body injury. He won't be eligible to return until at least Jan. 31 against Pittsburgh, but an exact timeline for his recovery is unclear. He has registered four goals, 28 points, 56 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and 15 hits in 30 appearances this season.

Jones was recalled from AHL Rochester on Tuesday.

Jones figures to provide emergency depth on the Sabres' blue line after Michael Kesselring (lower body) was designated for injured reserve. If the 25-year-old Jones does make an appearance for Buffalo, it will mark his first outing for the team after joining from the Rangers in the summer.

Lindholm (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

The Bruins activated Henri Jokiharju (undisclosed) in a corresponding move. Lindholm was absent from Monday's practice and doesn't have a timeline for his return. He has contributed three goals, 14 points, 60 shots on net and 59 blocked shots across 34 appearances this season.

Jokiharju (undisclosed) was taken off injured reserve ahead of Tuesday's clash with Seattle, per the NHL media site.

Jokiharju will be back in the lineup following a 16-game stint on the shelf due to his undisclosed injury. The 26-year-old blueliner has yet to find the back of the net in 25 outings this year while generating six assists, 13 hits and 22 shots while averaging 17:23 of ice time.

Kesselring (lower body) was put on injured reserve Tuesday, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.

Kesselring will miss his second straight game against Vancouver on Tuesday, and it's unclear when he will be available to return. He hasn't posted a point in 16 appearances this season while collecting 23 shots on goal, 22 blocked shots and 14 hits.

Mukhamadullin (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Mukhamadullin will miss at least the next three games, starting with Tuesday's matchup against Columbus, after being moved to the IR list. However, it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has chipped in two goals, four assists, 18 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and 11 hits in 23 appearances this season.

Rifai was assigned to AHL Toronto on Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

The Maple Leafs activated Brandon Carlo (foot) from injured reserve in a corresponding move. Rifai has two assists in five minor-league outings this season.
