Eric Engels of Sportsnet is reporting that the Montreal Canadiens have placed forward Colin White on the injured reserve, and have activated forward Rafael Harvey-Pinard from it. Earlier reporting suggested that White suffered an upper-body injury in practice, and is only considered day-to-day.
White originally joined the Canadiens organization via waiver claim on February 22nd, coming over from the Pittsburgh Penguins. In 16 games this season, five of which have been in Montreal, White has been unable to register any points so far. He has received more ice time with the Canadiens but is still receiving playing time in the bottom six nonetheless.
Harvey-Pinard, on the other hand, has had his season mired by injuries. With injury concerns limiting him to 24 games on the year, Harvey-Pinard has scored one goal and seven points for the Canadiens this season. Hoping for health moving forward, Montreal will be waiting to see if they can get back last year’s version of Harvey-Pinard, who scored 14 goals and 20 points in 36 games.
Other Atlantic notes:
- There is still no official timeline on the return of Boston Bruins’ defenseman Hampus Lindholm, but Conor Ryan of the Boston Globe is reporting that Lindholm is close to a return. Lindholm has been out for a little over a week with an upper-body injury which has marked his first significant injury since the 2021-22 season. Seeing a marketable decrease in his production this season, Lindholm has put up one goal and 19 points in 56 games for the Bruins this year.
- Absent from the team’s practice today, Toronto Maple Leafs forward David Kampf is reportedly out with an illness (X Link). The Maple Leafs do play against the Buffalo Sabres tomorrow night, and Kampf’s status is currently up in the air. In 47 games for Toronto this season, Kampf has produced at a respectable level, scoring five goals and 11 points overall.
- Sticking in Toronto, Mark Masters of TSN is reporting that defenseman Conor Timmins is back at practice for the first time since his mononucleosis diagnosis back in early February. It is undetermined when Timmins will be able to re-enter the lineup for the Maple Leafs, but he has scored one goal and six points in 16 games for Toronto already this season.
I’m doubting Lindholm’s decreased production is ‘marketable.’
Is it just my imagination or have there been a very high number of illnesses on the Leafs this year? Did they hire Poppie from Seinfeld as the new team chef?
I have never seen a more uneventful, Pedestrian rebuild like Montreal’s, They don’t even have a single young prospect that they can build around.
Suzuki,Caufield,Slafkovsky, Reinbacher, Roy,Hutson, dach,newhook, Ghule,Mailloux, Farrell, Fowler..
They dont have a big prospect like bedard but they have multiple pieces for that rebuild..
wrong Colin White link, this is linked to a “John Colin White”
When there are duplicate names (i.e., the two Matt Murrays or Sebastian Ahos), we can’t control which player they link to. That’s a bug on Hockey Reference’s end as we use their plug-in to hyperlink players – it’s not something we add manually.
‘Mustank Dally’ is tearing it up for the Stars, now up to 8 points in 6 games. Best 3rd Line in Hockey – Stankoven, Johnston, and Benn. Dallas vs. Florida for the Cup. But Dallas loses in Game 7 to a controversial call – karma pay back for Brett Hull’s skate in the crease.
On the bright side, you’ll always have Mustank Dally’s 24-25 Calder Trophy win to gloat over, Big D fans.
