  • Returns to minors
    Turcotte was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Friday.

    Advice: Turcotte had a goal and four points in 20 regular-season contests with LA in 2023-24. He's also supplied seven goals and 25 points across 33 appearances with Ontario. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Questionable for Game 1
    McMann (lower body) missed Friday's practice and is questionable for Game 1 versus Boston on Saturday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

    Advice: McMann was absent for Toronto's final two regular-season contests due to the injury. He finished the 2023-24 campaign with 15 goals, 24 points, 52 PIM and 117 hits in 56 appearances. The 27-year-old averaged just 11:34 of ice time during the regular season and would likely see his minutes be similarly limited if he is an option for the postseason opener.

  • Questionable for Saturday
    Nylander (undisclosed) missed Friday's practice, putting his availability for Game 1 against Boston on Saturday in question, per Joshua Kloke of The Athletic.

    Advice: Nylander set a new career high of 98 points and matched his personal best of 40 goals while playing in all 82 regular-season games. The Maple Leafs might experiment with having Auston Matthews, Mitchell Marner and William Nylander all on separate lines in an effort to spread their offense, so Nylander's absence would throw a significant wrench in that plan. If he can't play in Game 1, Noah Gregor, who is otherwise projected to be a healthy scratch, might serve in a bottom-six capacity. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Won't play Saturday
    Fast (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup for Game 1 against the Islanders on Saturday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

    Advice: Fast is currently stuck in a 24-game goal drought dating back to Feb. 13 versus the Stars. During his slump, the Swede notched six helpers, 23 shots and 30 hits while averaging 12:03 of ice time. Once given the all-clear, Fast should challenge Jack Drury or Stefan Noesen for a spot in the lineup. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago
     
  • Generates assist Thursday
    Kulak notched an assist, three shots on goal, four blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.

    Advice: A heavily rotated Oilers team stood no chance against the full force of the Avalanche's lineup. Kulak saw a season-high 20:49 of ice time in the contest, but he'll likely be back in his familiar third-pairing role for the start of the playoffs. The Oilers begin their first-round series against the Kings on Monday. Kulak concludes the regular season with 16 points, 94 shots on net, 88 blocked shots and 77 hits over 82 appearances.

  • Ends season out of lineup
    Gilbert was scratched for 20 of the Flames' final 23 games this season.

    Advice: Gilbert had a career year with seven points in 34 contests, but his playing time was sparse after the All-Star break. The physical defenseman is a pending unrestricted free agent and will likely have to settle for a two-way contract in 2024-25 after playing on a one-way deal the last two seasons.

  • Ready for Saturday
    Edmundson (rest) is set to play in Game 1 against Boston on Saturday, per Jonas Siegel of The Athletic.

    Advice: Edmundson didn't play in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to Tampa Bay so that he could get a breather for the playoffs. He finished the regular season with a goal, six points, 80 hits and 65 blocks in 53 contests between Washington and Toronto. Edmundson is projected to start the postseason on the third pairing alongside Timothy Liljegren. Rotowire.com Today, 11:07 am
     
  • Solid in fourth-line role
    Greer produced 12 points and 100 hits over 59 contests in 2023-24.

    Advice: Greer's numbers are right in line with what he did with the Bruins in 2022-23, though he spent far less time in the sin bin. The 27-year-old expressed interest in re-signing with the Flames, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reported Friday, though it's unclear if the interest is mutual. Greer is a low-maintenance player capable of handling a fourth-line role, so Calgary or some other team should be able to get him under contract for 2024-25. Rotowire.com Today, 11:07 am
     
  • Takes step back in 2023-24
    Duehr finished 2023-24 with seven points over 40 contests.

    Advice: Duehr played in a career-high number of games, but his production dropped from 2022-23 (11 points in 27 outings). The path to playing time doesn't get easier as more of the Flames' prospects become NHL ready. The 26-year-old winger has rarely been more than a fourth-liner in his career, and he'll have to compete for that spot in training camp in the fall. Rotowire.com Today, 11:04 am
