  • Out Thursday
    Fleury (undisclosed) won't return for Game 3 on Thursday, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.

    Advice: Fleury hasn't been in the lineup since April 6 because of the injury. He has a goal and five points in 24 contests this season. Fleury might be deployed on the third pairing once he's recovered, but it's also possible Tampa Bay would make him a healthy scratch. Rotowire.com Today, 3:35 pm
     
  • Available for Friday
    Myers (illness) is expected to draw back into the lineup for Game 3 against Nashville on Friday, per Adam Kimelman of NHL.com.

    Advice: Myers had five goals, 29 points, 77 PIM, 110 hits and 136 blocks in 77 contests during the regular season. He missed Tuesday's 4-1 Game 2 loss to Nashville because of the illness. Now that Myers is healthy, he'll probably serve on the second pairing while Noah Juulsen might be scratched. Rotowire.com Today, 1:05 pm
     
  • Up from minors
    Seeley was summoned from AHL Chicago on Thursday.

    Advice: Seeley has two goals and 14 points in 58 contests with AHL Chicago in 2023-24. The 21-year-old hasn't appeared in the NHL yet and is unlikely to draw into the lineup for the Hurricanes during the playoffs. Rotowire.com Today, 12:23 pm
     
  • Signs six-year contract
    Vlasic signed a six-year, $27.6 million contract extension Wednesday, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The 22-year-old blueliner managed two goals, 14 assists, 56 hits and 148 blocked shots in 76 appearances this season. He played against all the top lines, as he was part of the No. 1 pairing alongside Seth Jones. Expect 25-30 points from Vlasic next season, making him a fringe fantasy asset in deeper pools.

  • Pots goal in loss
    Kulak scored a goal and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

    Advice: Kulak got the Oilers on the board in the first period after a slow start. The 30-year-old defenseman hadn't scored since March 2, earning just six assists over 25 contests between tallies. Kulak's spot in the lineup appears to be safe, but he's been limited to a third-pairing role after posting 16 points, 94 shots on net, 88 blocked shots and 77 hits over 82 regular-season games.

  • Garners helper
    Spence logged an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Oilers in Game 2.

    Advice: Spence set up a Kevin Fiala tally in the third period. After posting 24 points over 71 regular-season outings, Spence has maintained a third-pairing role in the postseason. He'll likely see limited minutes, but he could provide some depth offense and solid non-scoring numbers after racking up 67 hits, 55 blocked shots and 80 shots on goal in the regular season.

  • Notches helper in overtime win
    Anderson registered an assist, two shots on goal, five hits and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Oilers in Game 2.

    Advice: Anderson has been surprisingly productive with a goal, an assist, three shots on net, seven hits and four blocked shots over two playoff contests. He was limited to one helper over his last 12 regular-season outings. Anderson's game is primarily defensive, but he'll get his chances to add depth scoring while playing alongside Drew Doughty on the top pair during the playoffs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:09 pm
     
  • Tallies in win
    Doughty scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Oilers in Game 2.

    Advice: Doughty got loose on a breakaway and converted for the Kings' third goal of the contest. The defenseman has two points, four shots on net, two hits and three blocked shots over two playoff contests. Doughty should continue to see massive minutes in all situations, so there will be chances for him to produce steady offense. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:56 pm
     
  • Grabs power-play helper
    Heiskanen logged a power-play assist, four hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 2.

    Advice: Heiskanen set up Jason Robertson's first-period tally. The 24-year-old Heiskanen has earned an assist in each of the first two postseason contests. He's seeing heavy minutes in a top-pairing role and has also chipped in four shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:28 pm
