Holden is considered just day-to-day, but he didn't join the club as it embarked for a four-game road trip beginning Friday at Carolina, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holden can safely be ruled out of Friday's game and seems highly unlikely to join the team a day later against Florida. There's a chance he could surface with the club at some point on the trip, but, if he can't, the blueliner's next opportunity to return would come Feb. 9 against the Blue Jackets.
