"We'll know more when he gets off the ice," head coach Bill Peters said of Lindholm, who wore a no-contact sweater.
Not traveling with the team this week are forward Jordan Staal and goaltender Eddie Lack, who are both sidelined with concussions. Staal skated on Monday but according to Peters, "it didn't go great."
Lack, meanwhile, was spotted at RCI but has yet to rejoin the team.
"I think he's progressing], but you know, those are tricky situations," Peters said on Sunday. "It looks like it's going one way and then it can turn the other. I think it's going the right way, but I'm not sure 100 percent."
Defenseman Matt Tennyson did not practice on Tuesday. Peters said Tennyson, whose presence in the lineup has helped stabilize the team's defensive pairings, was given a maintenance day for a lower-body concern.
The Hurricanes' defense will become a bit more crowded, too, with the return of Ryan Murphy. His two-week conditioning stint with the Charlotte Checkers concluded on Monday, and with the Checkers already stationed in California, Murphy will join the Hurricanes upon their arrival.
"If we have eight [defensemen], we have eight. If we get down to seven, then it's obvious we have a decision to make," Peters said. "We have a guy in Murph who went down and played, and we've got a guy who has worked real hard looking to get back in the lineup in Dahlbeck. I've got a lot of confidence in both guys."
