    • Departs Wednesday's game
      Tanev (lower body) did not return to Wednesday's Game 4 after blocking a shot in the second period.

      Advice: The Stars initially labeled Tanev as questionable to return, but his inability to get back on the ice in this contest is not a positive sign. The 34-year-old defenseman is a key part of the Stars' defensive structure, so a potential absence for Friday's Game 5 or beyond could spell trouble for the team. If Tanev is unable to play, Nils Lundkvist is the most likely player to draw into the lineup, though he has seen very sheltered minutes when he's played during the postseason.

    • On unconditional waivers
      Nousiainen was put on unconditional waivers by Los Angeles on Wednesday for the purpose of terminating his contract, per John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio.

      Advice: Nousiainen had nine assists in 52 regular-season contests with AHL Ontario in 2023-24. He also registered two helpers in eight minor-league playoff outings. If the 23-year-old clears waivers as expected, he might return to his native Finland. Before signing a three-year, entry-level contract with the Kings in March 2022, he spent parts of four seasons with the KalPa Kuopio of Finland's Liiga. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:21 pm
       
    • Won't play Wednesday
      Hakanpaa (lower body) isn't expected to play in Game 4 against Edmonton on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

      Advice: Hakanpaa hasn't been in the lineup since March 16, and it's unclear when he might be able to return. He had two goals, 12 points, 196 hits and 123 blocks in 64 appearances during the regular season. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:29 am
       
    • Signs with Chinese team
      Clendening inked a one-year contract with Kunlun Red Star, the KHL's China-based franchise Wednesday.

      Advice: Clendening spent last season playing in Finland for Ilves Tampere, registering eight goals and 20 assists in 40 games before adding three more points in five postseason contests. The 31-year-old defenseman hasn't logged an NHL game since the 2018-19 campaign when he was with Columbus. When he eventually hangs up his skates, Clendening will likely retire having played in 90 NHL games in which he tallied four goals and 20 assists. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:09 am
       
    • Ankle surgery coming soon
      Stecher is slated to have ankle surgery at some point this summer, per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton.

      Advice: Stecher managed to play in 54 regular-season games this year, recording one goal and six assists to go along with 51 shots on goal. The 30-year-old will look to be healthy before next season starts in October. He is eligible for unrestricted free agency in the summer. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:06 am
       
    • Posts helper in Game 3 win
      Lindell provided an assist, four hits and three blocked shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Lindell helped out on a Jason Robertson goal in the third period, which ended up being the game-winner. All four of Lindell's points this postseason have come in the last eight games, including a goal and an assist over his last two contests. The veteran defenseman is seeing a huge role as a shutdown player while adding 26 hits, 39 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 16 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:07 pm
       
    • Unavailable Monday
      Hakanpaa (lower body) will not be available Monday against the Oilers, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

      Advice: Hakanpaa has not played since March 16 and there's been little update on his return status. The 32-year-old tallied 12 points in 64 games during the regular season. Rotowire.com Monday, 5:16 pm
       
    • Bags apple in loss
      Mikkola logged an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

      Advice: Mikkola helped out on an Aleksander Barkov goal in the third period. The helper was Mikkola's first point in nine games since the start of the second round, though his lack of offense hasn't cost him a spot on the Panthers' second defense pairing. The 28-year-old has just three points to go with 11 shots on net, 43 hits, 20 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 14 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:16 pm
       
    • Hands out helper Sunday
      Schneider recorded an assist, four hits, six blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

      Advice: Schneider set up the first of Barclay Goodrow's two goals in the game. This was Schneider's second point (both assists) this postseason. The 22-year-old blueliner has been a fixture on the Rangers' third pairing, adding 28 hits, 27 blocks, 12 shots on net, 16 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 13 playoff appearances.
