Head coach Travis Green said Thursday that Chabot (upper body) is expected to miss approximately 10 more days, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Chabot has appeared in just one of the Senators' last nine games, and he was placed on injured reserve Saturday. While he's already eligible to return, he'll require more time on the shelf before he's in the mix to return to game action. Dennis Gilbert is slated to make his season debut Thursday against the Rangers as the Senators continue to adjust their defensive pairings in Chabot's absence.

Crozier (undisclosed) was activated from injured reserve Thursday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Crozier missed eight straight games with his latest injury and has sat out 18 of the last 22 contests. He has three assists in eight games this season. He is slated to see third-unit minutes alongside Declan Carlile on Thursday against the Penguins.

Callahan (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

The defenseman suffered the injury Tuesday against Detroit. Callahan has yet to hit the scoresheet in five NHL games this season. The Bruins recalled Victor Soderstrom from AHL Providence in a corresponding move.

Soderstrom was called up from AHL Providence on Thursday, per Scott McLaughlin of WEEI.

The Bruins were down to five healthy defensemen after Michael Callahan suffered a lower-body injury Tuesday. Soderstrom will likely see third-pairing minutes if Callahan is unable to go, alongside Mason Lohrei. Soderstrom, who was selected 11th overall in 2019 by Arizona, had one goal and nine points in 18 AHL appearances before his recall.

Lindell collected two assists while adding five blocked shots, one hit, one shot on net and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Devils.

It was Lindell's first multi-point performance since Oct. 14, while the five blocked shots were his highest total since he rang up seven blocks Nov. 20 against the Canucks. Lindell is putting together another strong defensive campaign for the Stars, producing three goals, 10 points, 57 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating through 28 games.

Heiskanen scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over the Devils.

The 26-year-old blueliner opened the scoring midway through the second period by going high blocker side from the faceoff circle to the left of Jacob Markstrom, and that was all the offense Jake Oettinger would need. Heiskanen snapped a 14-game goal drought with the tally, and on the season he's produced four goals and 24 points in 28 contests, including 10 points (one goal, nine helpers) on the power play.

McDonagh (undisclosed) agreed to terms on a three-year, $12.3 million contract extension with Tampa Bay on Thursday.

McDonagh -- who is currently on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury -- is on his second stint with the Lightning, having spent five seasons with the organization from 2017-2022. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran blueliner was chipping in well offensively with three goals and three helpers in 15 appearances. While McDonagh won't be much of a factor with the man advantage, he should still be capable of pushing for the 30-point threshold -- assuming he gets back into the lineup sooner rather than later.

Lamoureux recorded an assist, two hits, three blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.

This was Lamoureux's first outing with the Mammoth this season after racking up nine helpers in 19 games with AHL Tucson. The 21-year-old will get a chance to establish himself as a physical presence in a bottom-four role after the Mammoth decided Dmitri Simashev needed some developmental time with the Roadrunners. Lamoureux had three points in 15 games for Utah last season, and he could chip in enough offense to be intriguing in fantasy if he sticks in the lineup over Nick DeSimone.

Durzi logged an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.

The helper was Durzi's first point in five games since he recovered from an upper-body injury that cost him six weeks. The 27-year-old blueliner has two helpers, 10 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-4 rating over seven appearances this season. While his numbers aren't all that great, Durzi is still seeing top-four usage and time on the second power-play unit.

Cole scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, blocked two shots, logged two PIM and went plus-5 in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.

Cole is rarely a big contributor on offense, but he was right in the middle of a breakout performance for the Mammoth. He set up Dylan Guenther on the team's second goal before scoring the third one himself. Through 28 appearances, Cole is at two goals, 11 points, 23 shots on net, 31 hits, 59 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-11 rating. He's been a bottom-four fixture in the lineup, but he's on track to top the 20-point mark for the first time since 2019-20.
