Buffalo Sabres

Tyler Ennis (concussion) might still return before the end of the 2015-16 campaign. Obviously there's not much time left, but Ennis has been skating and could practice with the Sabres in the very near future. He has three goals and 11 points in 23 contests this season. - Sabres.nhl.com

Evander Kane's season is over due to an upper-body injury. It's expected to take Kane another three-to-four weeks to recover. - Source: Sabres.nhl.com


Columbus Blue Jackets

Fedor Tyutin (undisclosed) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice. Tyutin will likely miss his third straight game on Thursday. Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella described him as "somewhere between day to day and week to week." - Columbus Dispatch
 

Los Angeles Kings

Matt Greene (shoulder) participated in Wednesday's practice, but isn't close to being able to play. "They’re doing me a favor right now of being out there. I think that’s basically the equivalent of riding the stationary bike," Greene said. "I’m just trying to get into shape, and I’m a long ways off of playing." The good news is that his elbow is feeling better after he recently underwent a minor procedure on it. He's been limited to three games this season due to a shoulder injury. - LAKingsInsider.com

Carey Price took part in the morning skate today, marking his first practice with teammates since his November 25 injury. Luc Gelinas of RDS tweeted, “(Therrien) hopes that Price could play before the end of the season but he can’t guarantee anything.” - TSN

P.K. Subban will not make his return to action tonight in Tampa. - TSN

The plan is for newly-signed Charlie Lindgren to make his NHL debut before the end of the season. - TSN

Coach Dave Cameron says Mark Stone has been cleared to travel and is heading back to Ottawa‎. He will not play Saturday in Philadelphia. - TSN

The club has recalled defenceman Ben Harpur on an emergency basis from its American Hockey League affiliate, the Binghamton Senators. The NHL recall is the first of his career. - Team Release
 

Pittsburgh Penguins

Brian Dumoulin (upper body) took part in Thursday's practice. Dumoulin shouldn't be expected to return to the Penguins' lineup on Thursday though. "Today was my first day practicing with the guys... We'll see how it is tomorrow," he said. Dumoulin has 16 assists in 74 games this season. - Penguins.nhl.com
