Lindholm (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Friday.

Lindholm has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury but took line rushes with Brandon Montour at the Ducks morning skate. There is no official word whether Lindholm will be back in the lineup or not, so consider him as a game-time decision for now.

The Ducks placed Hampus Lindholm (lower-body) on IR.

Lindholm missed last night’s game with a lower-body injury and was moved to IR. This is another big loss for the Ducks’ blueline that is already without Cam Fowler. Lindholm’s move to IR means that he will miss at least the next two games. Brandon Montour stepped up huge in Lindholm’s absence on Sunday, collecting one goal and two assists in the overtime loss.
