Player Notes

  • Questionable for Game 1
    McMann (lower body) missed Friday's practice and is questionable for Game 1 versus Boston on Saturday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

    Advice: McMann was absent for Toronto's final two regular-season contests due to the injury. He finished the 2023-24 campaign with 15 goals, 24 points, 52 PIM and 117 hits in 56 appearances. The 27-year-old averaged just 11:34 of ice time during the regular season and would likely see his minutes be similarly limited if he is an option for the postseason opener.

  • Solid in fourth-line role
    Greer produced 12 points and 100 hits over 59 contests in 2023-24.

    Advice: Greer's numbers are right in line with what he did with the Bruins in 2022-23, though he spent far less time in the sin bin. The 27-year-old expressed interest in re-signing with the Flames, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reported Friday, though it's unclear if the interest is mutual. Greer is a low-maintenance player capable of handling a fourth-line role, so Calgary or some other team should be able to get him under contract for 2024-25. Rotowire.com Today, 11:07 am
  • Offers helper
    Mangiapane recorded an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

    Advice: Mangiapane was able to achieve a 40-point season for the third straight year, earning 14 goals and 26 assists over 75 appearances. The winger also put up 122 shots on net, 89 hits, 47 PIM and a plus-7 rating despite seeing middle-six minutes. Mangiapane's proven at this point to be a solid all-situations winger, but he rarely stands out in any one area. Rotowire.com Today, 10:57 am
  • Back at practice Friday
    Domi (undisclosed) returned to practice Friday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

    Advice: Domi missed the final two games of the regular season, but he is primed and ready to play in Game 1 versus Boston on Saturday. Domi was back on the top line, alongside Auston Matthews and Tyler Bertuzzi, where he excelled the last month of the season. Domi ended the campaign with nine goals and 38 assists in 80 games -- including a goal and 12 points in his last 13 appearances with Matthews and Bertuzzi. Rotowire.com Today, 10:52 am
  • Supplies assist Thursday
    Kuzmenko registered an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

    Advice: Kuzmenko was one of the top players in April with seven goals and six assists over nine contests. The 28-year-old winger had more points in 29 games with the Flames (25) than he had in 43 contests with the Canucks (21) prior to a midseason trade. He added 121 shots on net and a minus-9 rating this season. Kuzmenko's offense can be streaky, but he could be a top-six fit for the Flames heading into 2024-25. Rotowire.com Today, 10:51 am
  • Not playing Sunday
    Barron (lower body) will not play in Game 1 versus Colorado on Sunday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

    Advice: Coach Rick Bowness would not say who would replace Barron on the fourth line, but it is believed that either David Gustafsson or Cole Perfetti will be in the lineup. Barron had a career high 11 goals, as well as 11 assists and 122 hits in 80 games. Rotowire.com Today, 10:35 am
  • Reassigned to minors
    Erne was demoted to AHL Bakersfield on Friday.

    Advice: Erne went pointless in his last 11 outings, which no doubt factored into the decision to return him the the Condors for their playoff run. On the year, the 28-year-old forward played in just 24 NHL games while garnering a mere two points. Given his limited productivity, Erne shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of offensive upside. Rotowire.com Today, 10:30 am
  • May not play Sunday
    Motte (lower body) is questionable for Sunday's tilt in Florida, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports.

    Advice: Motte missed the last three games of the regular season with the injury. He ended the season with six goals and nine points in 69 appearances. Look for Motte to play in a bottom-six role up front, once he returns to action. Rotowire.com Today, 10:15 am
  • Gathers helper Thursday
    McCann posted an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

    Advice: McCann faltered late in the campaign with four points over eight outings in April. It was still a strong year for the 27-year-old forward, who produced 29 goals, 33 helpers, 216 shots on net and a minus-10 rating over 80 appearances. McCann will continue playing this spring with Team Canada at the IIHF World Championship, per Darren Dreger of TSN, so it appears McCann is not too banged up at the end of the NHL campaign.
