[March 26, 2015]  March 25 (The Sports Xchange) - New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist will dress for Thursday night's game against the Ottawa Senators and serve as backup to Cam Talbot.

Lundqvist hasn't played since Feb. 2 because of a vascular injury in his neck, which he suffered Jan. 31 when a shot deflected off a stick and hit him in the throat.

The NHL's motion to dismiss a class-action concussion lawsuit was denied Wednesday by a federal judge in Minnesota.

The lawsuit by six former NHL players claims the league knew the dangers of head injuries and failed to protect players.

The St. Louis Blues assigned defenseman Petteri Lindbohm to the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League.

Lindbohm, 21, has dressed in 23 games for the Blues this season, posting three points (two goals, one assist) and 26 penalty minutes.
