  • Promoted from minors
    Raty was elevated from AHL Tucson on Tuesday.

    Advice: Raty's promotion could be an indication that one or both of Nick Bjugstad (upper body) or Barrett Hayton (lower body) will not be an option to face the Oilers on Wednesday. If the 22-year-old Raty does get into Wednesday's contest, it would mark his NHL debut after having spent the entirety of the 2023-24 campaign in the minors with the Roadrunners.

    Advice: Voronkov is expected to be replaced by Luca Del Bel Belluz, who is being recalled from AHL Cleveland. With Voronkov's absence, he will end his rookie season having notched 18 goals and 16 assists, including eight power-play points, in his last 75 appearances. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
  • Won't play Wednesday
    Hakanpaa (lower body) won't be in the lineup Wednesday against St. Louis, according to Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

    Advice: Hakanpaa will miss his 13th straight contest. He still could be available for the beginning of the playoffs, but the Stars won't rush him back into action. The 32-year-old blueliner will conclude the 2023-24 regular season with two goals, 12 points, 56 shots on net, 123 blocked shots and 196 hits in 64 games. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
  • Game-time call Wednesday
    Dadonov (lower body) will be a game-time decision versus the Blues on Wednesday, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.

    Advice: Dadonov would probably benefit from getting into a game before the playoffs, especially considering he has been on the shelf since Feb. 10 versus Montreal. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran forward was struggling to produce on offense with just three points in his previous nine outings. Even if Dadonov does play Wednesday, it will likely be in a bottom-six role. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago

    Guentzel (rest) will sit out Tuesday's regular-season finale against Columbus, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

    Advice: Guentzel has been scorching hot since being traded to Carolina from Pittsburgh, logging eight goals and 17 assists in 17 games played. He'll look to stay hot on the power play during the playoffs - he's racked up 22 points with the man advantage through 67 games between the Penguins and the Hurricanes this season.
