Stay on top of all the injury news and roster updates from across the NHL with daily Ice Chips.

Ottawa Senators

Forward Josh Norris and defenseman Artem Zub are expected to be in the lineup on Tuesday when the Senators face the Montreal Canadiens in a preseason game.

Norris, 25, did not play in the Senators’ preseason after undergoing a third surgery on his left shoulder in March.

Head coach Travis Green told the media that the plan had always been to play Norris on Tuesday and expected him to play 17 to 21 minutes per game.

The 180 cm tall center recorded 16 goals and 30 points in 50 games last season.

According to Postmedia’s Bruce Garrioch, Zub has not played every day due to a lower-body injury that is not considered serious.

The 180 cm tall defender has not played in the pre-season yet this year. Last season he scored five goals and 25 points in 69 games.

The Senators used these lines during their Tuesday morning skate before their game against the Canadiens.

In addition, striker Claude Giroux did not participate in Tuesday’s training due to a technical break.

Ullmark will start against the Canadiens on Tuesday and is expected to play the entire game, according to Green.

Goaltender Michael Hutchinson was released from his player trial contract with the Devils on Tuesday.

Hutchinson joined the Devils on a tryout on September 5, but played in all preseason games.

The 34-year-old played for the Detroit Red Wings last season, appearing in 32 games as the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins went 14-14-3 with an .892 save percentage and a 2.89 goals against average.

He also appeared in one game with the Red Wings, making 33 saves in a 3-2 win over the Devils on December 23.

Canadians from Montreal

Defenseman David Reinbacher underwent surgery on his left knee and the team announced Tuesday that he will be sidelined for five to six months.

Reinbacher left Saturday’s 2-1 preseason loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first period after being hit in the open ice.

The 19-year-old was selected by the Canadiens in the 2023 draft with the fifth pick.

The Canadiens recalled forwards Lucas Condotta and Luke Tuch from the Laval Rocket on Tuesday.

Condotta, 26, played in three Canadiens games last season and didn’t score a single point. He also recorded eight goals and 19 points in 65 games with the Rocket.

Tuch, 22, joined the Canadiens after finishing last season at NCAA affiliate Boston University and appeared in two games with the Laval Rocket last season.

The Rangers may be without forward Jimmy Vesey and defenseman Ryan Lindgren when they open the regular season on Oct. 9 against the Pittsburgh Penguins, according to head coach Peter Laviolette.

Laviolette told reporters Monday that Vesey will be sidelined “a few weeks” with a lower-body injury after missing Sunday’s practice because of soreness.

The 31-year-old scored 13 goals and 26 points in 80 games last season.

Lindgren suffered an upper-body injury during a preseason game against the New York Islanders on September 23 and was given a “few weeks.”

The 6-foot-4 guard scored three goals and 17 points in 76 games last season and signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal via arbitration in the offseason.

Wild Minnesota

According to Michael Russo of The Athletic, forward Matt Boldy participated in Wild practice for the first time since suffering a lower-body injury last week.

The 23-year-old recorded 29 goals and 40 points in 75 games for the Wild last season, and we hope he’ll be ready when the Wild opens the regular season against the Columbus Blue Jackets on October 10.

The Blue Jackets recalled defensemen Cole Clayton, Stanislav Svozil and goaltender Zach Savchenko from the AHL’s Cleveland Monsters on Tuesday.

Additionally, forward Jake Gaudet was added to the team’s training camp roster on a professional tryout basis.
