NHL Status Report: Lindgren out 4-6 weeks for Kraken

Welcome to the NHL Status Report. Here is the latest lineup/injury news around the NHL.

Seattle Kraken

Ryan Lindgren was placed on injured reserve and will be out 4-6 weeks because of an upper-body injury, the Kraken announced Thursday. The defenseman was injured in the first period of a 6-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday. He has no points in four games this season and is averaging 12:49 of ice time per game. Seattle visits the Detroit Red Wings on Friday (7 p.m. ET; Prime Video, DSN, KONG, KING).

Montreal Canadiens

Goalie Sam Montembeault sustained an undisclosed injury at practice Wednesday and will see a doctor Thursday to determine the length of his absence. "You never want to see anybody go down with an injury, and especially a guy like that, that's worked to get his game back and looked pretty good, so hopefully it's not too long and we can get him back up here," Canadiens forward Cole Caufield said.  Jacob Fowler made his first start of the season against the Nashville Predators on Thursday, making 15 saves on 18 shots in a 5-2 loss. The 21-year-old goalie was recalled from Laval of the American Hockey League on Wednesday. He was 9-6-2 with a 2.43 goals-against average and .908 save percentage in 17 games with Montreal last season.

Vegas Golden Knights

Victor Olofsson is week to week for the Golden Knights. The forward scored twice before leaving with an injury at 8:03 of the third period of a 6-2 win against the Kraken on Tuesday after being hit into the boards by Ben Meyers. Meyers received a five-minute major and a game misconduct for boarding. Olofsson has four goals in four games this season for Vegas, which defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3 in a shootout on Thursday. "He is a loss for us, the way 'Oli' has started the year, not just his scoring but his overall play," coach Ryan Craig said. "... We'll miss him, but that leads to opportunity for someone else."

Jarvis progressing for Hurricanes in recovery from shoulder surgery

Ottawa Senators

Linus Ullmark started for the Senators in their home opener against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday, making 28 saves in the 2-1 victory, but defenseman Jake Sanderson (undisclosed) missed his third straight game. Ullmark, who left after the second period of a 4-1 win at the Boston Bruins on Monday following a collision with Boston forward JJ Peterka, did not dress Tuesday at Detroit. "Looks great. Good, he looks good," Senators coach Travis Green said before the game. Sanderson did not participate in the morning skate Thursday; he left a 3-2 win at Toronto on Saturday. He also missed part of training camp because of an undisclosed injury.

Detroit Red Wings

J.T. Compher was placed on injured reserve by the Red Wings on Thursday, retroactive to Oct. 4 with an undisclosed injury. The forward did not play in a 5-3 win against the Senators on Tuesday. ... Defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker (upper body) was activated from injured reserve and could make his season debut against Seattle on Friday (7 p.m. ET; Prime Video, DSN, KONG, KING).

Columbus Blue Jackets

Damon Severson is expected to make his season debut for the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday against the Pittsburgh Penguins (7 p.m. ET; CBJHN, CBJNHL, SN-PIT, SN+, TVAS). The defenseman has been out with shoulder injury that he had surgery for in April but practiced on the top pair with Zach Werenski on Thursday. "He's got so much skill, he makes so many plays out there," Weresnki said. "I feel like he's very easy to read off of and he just makes the play that is available to him."

New Jersey Devils

Jonas Siegenthaler did not practice with the Devils on Thursday, but the defenseman has not been ruled out to play against the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET; MSGSN, SNP, SNO, SNE). Siegenthaler sustained an undisclosed injury after falling awkwardly at 3:50 of the third period of a 5-3 loss to the Utah Mammoth on Tuesday. "I think it's better than originally thought," coach Sheldon Keefe said. "I think he's going to try to skate (Friday) and see how that goes and we'll make a decision from there." Siegenthaler has no points, three blocked shots, and is averaging 18:54 of ice time in three games this season. ... Jack Hughes took a maintenance day Thursday, but Keefe said his top center will return to the ice Friday.

Celebrini misses 2nd straight game for Sharks

Minnesota Wild

Nick Foligno did not play in a 3-2 loss at the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday because of an upper-body injury, coach John Hynes said. The forward left a 3-2 overtime loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday late in the first period and did not return. He will also miss their game at the Florida Panthers on Saturday.

New York Islanders

Mathew Barzal skated on his own Thursday for the first time since prior to training camp, which the forward missed after aggravating a prior injury. Barzal has yet to play this season for the Islanders, who defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 on Thursday. He led New York with 72 points (19 goals, 53 assists) in 81 games last season.

Colorado Avalanche

The Avalanche announced prior to their game at the Calgary Flames on Thursday that Logan O'Connor is taking time away from the team to be with his family after the death of his father. The forward has not played this season because of a lower-body injury.
