Keep updated on all the injury news and roster moves from around the NHL with daily Ice Chips.

Tampa Bay Lightning

The Bolts will be without centres Tyler Johnson, Vladislav Namestnikov and Cedric Paquette for Thursday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. All three were injured against the Minnesota Wild on March 9. However, injured captain Steven Stamkos skated after practice as he continues to recovery from having knee surgery four months ago. - Joe Smith, Tampa Bay Times

The team recalled 26-year-old forward Byron Froese from the American Hockey League. The Toronto Maple Leafs traded Froese to the Lightning as part of the Brian Boyle deal at the Trade Deadline. - Joe Smith, Tampa Bay Times

Winnipeg Jets

Defenceman Jacob Trouba is out for Thursday's clash against the New York Islanders with an upper-body injury, possibly suffered during a fight with Calgary Flames forward Sam Bennett on Saturday. The 23-year-old couldn't play Monday against the Nashville Predators either. Trouba has six goals and 21 assists over 52 games this season in Winnipeg, his fourth year with the team. On the other hand, it looks like Mark Scheifele (flu), Marko Dano (lower-body) and Nic Petan (healthy scratch past five games) will most likely be in the lineup against the Isles. Winger Shawn Matthias is also out with an undisclosed injury. – Ken Wiebe, Winnipeg Sun

Ottawa Senators

Backup goalie Mike Condon will get his second straight start for an ailing Craig Anderson Thursday when the Sens host the Chicago Blackhawks. Anderson suffered the undisclosed injury Saturday against the Colorado Avalanche, but head coach Guy Boucher said the injury "won't be a long-term thing." Condon allowed two goals on 37 shots Tuesday in an overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. -  Ottawa Citizen 

Anderson might play a backup role this weekend and the team is hoping he'll start against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday. - Brent Wallace, TSN

Minnesota Wild

Defenceman Marco Scandella missed practice on Wednesday with a lower-body injury, but is healthy enough to play against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday. - Michael Russo, Star Tribune

Buffalo Sabres

Defenceman Justin Falk will miss the Sabres' next two road games against the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks with a calf injury. Winger Justin Bailey is battling through a foot injury after blocking a shot on Tuesday and his status is up in the air Thursday against the Kings. Forward Hudson Fasching, who's been out since late October with a groin injury, is slated to make his return to the lineup in LA. - Buffalo News

Columbus Blue Jackets

Centre Lukas Sedlak, who's missed a month with an oblique strain, has been taken off the injured reserve list. - Team Release
