  • Sent to minors
    Balinskis was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Wednesday.

  • Battling illness
    Girard is dealing with an illness, according to Brennan Vogt of The-Rink.com, so he's questionable for Thursday's contest versus the Rangers.

    Advice: Girard has three goals, 18 points, 68 hits and 92 blocks in 51 outings in 2023-24. If the 25-year-old can't play Thursday, then Caleb Jones will likely draw into the lineup for the first time since March 13. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:32 pm
  • Manages helper Tuesday
    Ceci posted an assist, three hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

    Advice: Ceci has two helpers over his last four contests. The 30-year-old defenseman isn't relied on for offense, though he's had mixed results overall in 2023-24. He's at 20 points, 83 shots on net, 100 blocked shots, 77 hits and a plus-5 rating through 70 appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:50 am
  • Questionable versus Washington
    Rielly (upper body) is considered questionable for Thursday's matchup with Washington, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

    Advice: Rielly missed Tuesday's loss to the Devils due to his upper-body issue, and it looks like his status for Thursday's contest may boil down to a game-time decision. Rielly's racked up seven goals and 51 points through 65 contests this season -- fantasy managers should plan on keeping a close eye on his status ahead of puck drop Thursday.
