Ristolainen (triceps) will miss at least another week, according to Kevin Kurz of The Athletic on Wednesday.

Head coach Rick Tocchet added that Ristolainen should be back within a month, which covers a much wider range. Ristolainen hasn't played yet this season due to the injury. The 31-year-old will likely serve in a top-four capacity once he's healthy, and his return would make it harder for Noah Juulsen to feature in the lineup with any regularity.
