    • Game-time call
      Nylander (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision prior to Saturday's game versus Boston, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

      Advice: It would be a major blow to the Maple Leafs if Nylander is forced to miss Game One. The 27-year-old winger posted 40 goals and a career-high 98 points this season. If Nylander does ultimately sit, Noah Gregor would likely slot into the lineup with Tyler Bertuzzi moving up to the top power-play unit. Rotowire.com Today, 8:30 am
       
    • Game-time decision Saturday
      Per Andrew Gross of Newsday, coach Patrick Roy said Pageau (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's playoff opener versus Carolina.

      Advice: Pageau was injured Wednesday versus the Penguins in the final game of the regular season. He completed the year with 11 goals, 22 assists, 101 shots on net and 196 hits in 82 outings. Should Pageau be unavailable Saturday, expect to see Simon Holmstrom enter the lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 7:40 am
       
    • 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 Nylander 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 Yesterday, 11:53 am
       
    • Questionable for Game 1
      Pageau's (lower body) status for Game 1 versus Carolina on Saturday is questionable, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

      Advice: Pageau was injured in the first period Wednesday against Pittsburgh and did not return. He finished the regular season with 33 points in 82 games. Should Pageau be unable to go Saturday, look for Simon Holmstrom to enter the lineup on the fourth line. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:32 am
       
    • Enters in relief
      Pickard stopped 13 of 14 shots in relief of Stuart Skinner on Thursday in a 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.

      Advice: Pickard started the second period in net after Skinner surrendered four goals in the opening frame. Colorado would ease off the throttle, scoring just once on Pickard, though Edmonton couldn't overcome the early deficit, leaving Skinner with the loss. The 32-year-old Pickard was solid in a backup role during the regular season, going 12-7-1 with a .909 save percentage and 2.45 GAA. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:07 am
       
    • Back in action
      Jarvis (rest) returned to practice Thursday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

      Advice: Jarvis sat out the Hurricanes' season finale as coach Rod Brind'Amour decided to rest a few key players. Jarvis had a career-high 33 goals and 67 points in 81 games during the regular season. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:01 am
       
    • Returning to action Thursday
      Zuccarello (personal) will be back in the lineup Thursday versus Seattle, according to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

      Advice: Zuccarello missed the last three games of the regular season, but he'll slot into a second-line role for the final game of the campaign. He has 11 goals and 62 points in 68 appearances this season. Zucc is expected to return to the top line with Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson Ek. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:58 am
       
    • Busy to end regular season
      Sorokin stopped 40 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Penguins.

      Advice: The 28-year-old goalie will take some momentum into the postseason. Sorokin made 40 or more saves in each of his last two starts, and he's gone 3-0-1 over his last four appearances while giving up nine goals on 133 shots (.932 save percentage). He'd been splitting work again with Semyon Varlamov to close out the regular season though, and Varly has won five straight starts of his own while posting a .945 save percentage. As a result, Varlamov seems to be the favorite to get the nod between the pipes Saturday when the Isles begin their first-round series in Carolina. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:24 am
       
    • Gives up four goals in loss
      Pickard allowed four goals on 23 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Coyotes. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

      Advice: Pickard has lost four of his last six outings, giving up 19 goals in that span. The 32-year-old dropped to 12-7-1 with a 2.48 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 22 appearances this season. The Oilers are locked in to the No. 2 spot in the Pacific Division, so they have no motivation to play starter Stuart Skinner versus the Avalanche on Thursday in the regular-season finale, but the team has not announced its goaltending plan for that contest yet.
