    • Not traveling to New York
      Pesce (lower body) won't travel with the Hurricanes ahead of Game 1 against the Rangers on Sunday, ruling him out for the first two games of the series, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

      Advice: Pesce missed the final three games of Carolina's opening-round series after suffering a lower-body injury in Game 2 against the Islanders. The 29-year-old blueliner has one assist in two playoff games after tallying three goals and 13 points in 70 regular-season contests. Tony DeAngelo will likely remain on the Hurricanes' second pairing until Pesce can return. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago
       
    • Skating Saturday
      Matthews (illness) skated at practice, though his status remains unclear for Saturday's Game 7 against the Bruins, Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: It's the first time Matthews has practiced since he left Game 4 with an illness. He has missed the next two games of the series. Getting Matthews back would be a massive boost for the Leafs in Game 7, though it appears he'll remain a game-time decision for now. Rotowire.com Today, 9:27 am
       
    • Not playing Saturday
      McMann (lower body) will not be in the lineup for Game 7 in Boston on Saturday, according to Joshua Kloke of The Athletic.

      Advice: The good news is that McMann is getting closer after participating in Saturday's morning skate. The 27-year-old winger will miss his ninth straight game, but he could return in time for the start of Round 2 -- should Toronto advance past Boston. McMann had 15 goals, nine assists and 117 hits across 56 regular-season games in 2023-24. Rotowire.com Today, 9:23 am
       
    • Summoned from AHL
      Lavoie, Lane Pederson, Adam Erne, Cam Dineen, Benjamin Gleason, Philip Kemp and Olivier Rodrigue were recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Saturday.

      Advice: Following the Condors' elimination from the AHL playoffs, the seven call-ups will be depth players during the Oilers' postseason run. Lavoie didn't earn a point in seven NHL regular-season games during the 2023-24 campaign. Rotowire.com Today, 9:09 am
       
    • Returns to Milwaukee
      Gravel was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Saturday.

      Advice: With Nashville eliminated from postseason contention, Gravel will return to AHL Milwaukee for their playoff run. The 32-year-old defenseman last played in the NHL in the 2022-23 season, where he logged one assist in 23 games. Rotowire.com Today, 8:10 am
       
    • Returned to AHL affiliate
      Parssinen was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Saturday.

      Advice: Parssinen was in the lineup Friday in Nashville's 1-0 loss to Vancouver in Game 6. The defeat eliminated the Predators from the postseason, so the 23-year-old forward will get to play in the AHL playoffs instead. In 44 regular-season games for the Predators in 2023-24, Parssinen had eight goals and four assists. Look for him to suit up as a middle-six forward for Nashville's next campaign.

    • Game-time decision Saturday
      Per Bell Fraser of The Hockey News, Heinen (undisclosed) participated in the morning skate and will be a game-time decision versus Toronto on Saturday in Game 7.

      Advice: Heinen missed Thursday's 2-1 loss in Game 6 because of the injury. He skated with the second power-play unit to start the practice session before being replaced by Justin Brazeau. Coach Jim Montgomery stated that Heinen's availability for the game will depend on how the 28-year-old forward feels later in the day. If Heinen is unavailable, John Beecher will take his place in the lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 7:56 am
       
    • Supplies helper in win
      Pietrangelo recorded an assist, four shots on goal and four blocked shots in Friday's 2-0 win over the Stars in Game 6.

      Advice: The helper was Pietrangelo's first point in six playoff outings. The veteran defenseman has added 10 shots on net, eight hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. Pietrangelo is seeing top-four minutes, but he's also being leaned on for his defense, so his chances to produce points may be limited. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:58 pm
       
    • Gets on scoresheet Friday
      Karlsson registered an assist in Friday's 2-0 win over the Stars in Game 6.

      Advice: After a 60-point regular season, Karlsson was silenced for the first five games of the first round. He broke the slump by setting up Mark Stone's empty-netter Friday, though that's hardly a sign of good things to come for Karlsson. The veteran center is stuck in a third-line role, and his defensive skills are strong enough to prevent him from getting more favorable matchups. Karlsson has added nine shots on net, six hits and a plus-3 rating through six playoff outings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:56 pm
