Player Notes

  • Gets on scoresheet with assist
    Soucy notched an assist and four hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Predators in Game 4.

    Advice: The helper was Soucy's first point in 23 games since he returned from a hand injury in early March. The 29-year-old defenseman has been a steady presence in the lineup since his return, but he plays a physical game in a bottom-four role that hasn't led to much room for scoring. He had a mediocre six points with 29 shots on net, 65 hits and 64 blocked shots over 40 regular-season appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:17 pm
  • Joins big club
    Broberg was promoted from AHL Bakersfield on Sunday.

    Advice: Broberg will likely serve as a depth option for the Oilers after AHL Bakersfield was knocked out of the postseason. He had two assists in 12 NHL games this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:08 pm
  • Good to go Sunday
    Jensen (upper body) is in Sunday's lineup against the Rangers, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

    Advice: As expected, Jensen will return from a five-game absence and make his first appearance of the postseason. He tallied 14 points while averaging 19:38 of ice time in 78 games during the regular season. Jensen will skate in a top-four role Sunday as the Capitals look to avoid a first-round sweep.

  • Still not skating
    Hague (lower body) isn't expected to play Monday in Game 4 versus Dallas, according to Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

    Advice: Hague, who hasn't resumed skating yet, is poised to miss his third straight contest. He supplied four goals, 17 points, 72 shots on net and 165 blocked shots in 55 appearances during the regular season. Alec Martinez will probably remain in the lineup for Game 4 due to Hague's absence. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:06 pm
  • Available to play
    Fleury (undisclosed) will be available to return to the lineup in Game 5 against Florida on Monday, according to Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida.

    Advice: Fleury sat out the final five games of the regular season and the first four games of the playoffs after colliding with a referee against Pittsburgh on April 6. Despite being an option for Monday's matchup, Fleury may serve as a healthy scratch following Tampa Bay's 6-3 win over the Panthers on Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:40 am
  • Deemed day-to-day
    Raddysh (undisclosed) is listed as day-to-day, per Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida.

    Advice: Raddysh didn't play Saturday in Game 4 after averaging 17:06 of ice time in the series' first three games. Emil Lilleberg and Max Crozier will likely fill out Tampa Bay's bottom pairing if Raddysh can't play Monday in Game 5. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:39 am
  • Out Sunday
    Dillon (hand) won't play Sunday against the Avalanche, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

    Advice: While Dillon has been ruled out for Game 4, there's a chance he could return Tuesday when the Jets return home for Game 5. Still, it's a tough blow for Winnipeg -- the veteran blueliner had three assists through the first three games of the series. Logan Stanley is expected to work on the second pairing in Dillon's absence. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:21 am
  • Won't play Sunday
    Iorio (upper body) won't play Sunday in Game 4 against the Rangers, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

    Advice: Iorio stayed out late with Washington's expected scratches after participating in the morning skate in a non-contact capacity. He will miss his third straight outing due to an injury he sustained in the team's playoff opener last Sunday. However, the Capitals will get some reinforcements on the blue line because Rasmus Sandin (upper body) and Nick Jensen (upper body) are set to return to the lineup. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:27 am
  • Ready to rock
    Sandin (upper body) will return to action Sunday in Game 4 against the Rangers, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

    Advice: Sandin will be back in the lineup after missing the final five games of the regular season and the first three contests of the playoffs. He registered three goals, 23 points, 79 shots on net, 106 blocked shots and 75 hits in 68 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign. Sandin will replace Trevor van Riemsdyk (upper body) in Sunday's must-win matchup. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:17 am
