The Anaheim Ducks defense corps is about to receive a major boost.

Hampus Lindholm has finally obtained his work visa, and has now rejoined Anaheim on its three-game road trip through Columbus, Carolina, and Nashville this week, according to Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register.

It's still unknown if he'll be in the lineup versus the Blue Jackets on Wednesday night.

The 22-year-old signed a six-year, $31.5-million extension Oct. 27, but due to his contract stalemate with the Ducks, Lindholm has already forfeited a month of regular-season action.

Anaheim won six games, picking up 14 points, without its top defenseman.
