Impact Appleton will return to the lineup against Washington on Sunday after missing the last 10 games.

DECEMBER 11 • NHL.COM

Moved to injured reserve Appleton (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Thursday.

Impact Appleton has already missed five games due to his lower-body problem, so his move to injured reserve won't impact his recovery timeline. In his 26 outings this year, the Wisconsin native has notched just three goals and six helpers to go with 28 shots. Even once cleared to play, Appleton figures to offer limited offensive upside in a bottom-six role.

Out at least one week Appleton is expected to be out for at least one week due to a lower-body injury, the team announced Tuesday.

Impact Appleton had already been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Boston due to an undisclosed injury, but the nature of what he's dealing with is now slightly more clear. He'll seemingly miss at least the next four games, with an optimistic return date being Dec. 10 in Calgary.

Won't play Tuesday Appleton (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup against Boston on Tuesday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Appleton didn't participate in Monday's practice, which was initially reported as a personal matter by Khan because his wife is expecting to give birth. In any event, Appleton won't play against the Bruins due to an injury and is day-to-day. He has collected three goals, nine points, 28 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and 28 hits across 26 appearances this season. Elmer Soderblom or Jonatan Berggren will replace Appleton in Tuesday's lineup.

Scores twice against Panthers Appleton had two goals, including an empty-netter, in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact Appleton broke the deadlock for the Red Wings with a snap shot at the 2:09 mark of the second period, and he'd later add an empty-netter with 1:57 left in the game to put the game out of reach. Appleton scored the game-winning goal against the Maple Leafs on Monday and now has three goals in his past two appearances. He might not be able to continue scoring at this rate, though, as he has found the twine three times on seven shots, so there might be some regression in the upcoming contests from an efficiency perspective.
