  • Not playing Wednesday
    Nylander (undisclosed) is not on the ice for warmups, indicating he won't play in Game 3 versus the Bruins on Wednesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

    Advice: Nylander has been a game-time call throughout the playoffs, but he'll miss his third straight contest to open the first-round series. The 27-year-old's next chance to play is Saturday's Game 4 -- he may benefit from having an extra day to try to shake off the injury. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
     
  • Recovers from shoulder injury
    Jones has been cleared from his sprain shoulder injury, the team announced Wednesday.

    Advice: Jones missed the final 11 contests of the season because of the injury. He finished 2023-24 with five goals, 15 points, 33 PIM and 125 hits in 52 outings. The 26-year-old is set to become a restricted free agent this summer, and Jones figures to maintain his bottom-six role with the Ducks if they agree on a new contract.

  • Heads to AHL
    Prosvetov was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Wednesday.

    Advice: Prosvetov had a 3.16 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 11 outings with the Avalanche during the regular season. He has also supplied a 2.33 GAA and a .921 save percentage across 21 minor-league contests. Rotowire.com Today, 12:40 pm
     
  • Dropped to minors
    Wagner was sent down to AHL Colorado on Wednesday.

    Advice: Wagner passed through waivers Tuesday in order to make him available for the Eagles' playoff matchup with AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday. Even though Wagner was a healthy scratch for the Avs' first two postseason contests, Wagner will likely come back up to the NHL ahead of Game 3 versus Winnipeg on Friday.

  • Sent down to minors
    Hunt was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Wednesday.

    Advice: Hunt hasn't played in either of the Avs' first two playoff games. With the Eagles kicking off the Calder Cup playoffs against AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday, the blueliner should be expected to link up with the minor-league club. Don't be surprised to see Hunt recalled to the Avalanche ahead of Friday's Game 3 clash with Winnipeg, though he figures to remain an emergency depth option. Rotowire.com Today, 12:25 pm
     
  • Set to start Wednesday
    Talbot is expected to start on the road against Edmonton in Game 2 on Wednesday, per Tom Gazzola of Edmonton Sports Talk.

    Advice: Talbot will seek revenge after allowing six goals on 44 shots en route to a 7-4 loss to the Oilers on Monday. He had a 27-20-6 record, 2.50 GAA and .913 save percentage in 54 regular-season appearances. Edmonton, which ranked fourth offensively with 3.56 goals per contest during the 2023-24 campaign, will continue to be a challenging opponent for the veteran goaltender.

  • Is week-to-week
    Demko is regarded as week-to-week, coach Rick Tocchet told Thomas Drance of The Athletic on Wednesday.

    Advice: Demko was a key part of the Canucks' regular-season success, posting a 35-14-2 record, 2.45 GAA and .918 save percentage in 51 contests. He also stopped 20 of 22 shots en route to a 4-2 victory over the Predators in Game 1 on Sunday. The Canucks will likely lean on Casey DeSmith during Demko's absence.

  • Under the weather
    Myers was dealing with the flu, which caused him to miss Game 2 against the Predators on Tuesday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Myers had been rolling offensively prior to falling ill, recording five points in his last six games, including a short-handed goal. Without Myers in the lineup, Noah Juulsen stepped onto the blue line and likely will continue to fill in for Myers if he remains unavailable for Game 3 on Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:50 am
     
  • Out with lower-body issue
    Hague will not be available against the Stars for Game 1 on Wednesday due to a lower-body injury.

    Advice: Hague was officially classified as day-to-day, so he could still be an option for Game 3 back in Dallas. Given the blueliner's 20-game pointless streak, few fantasy players figure to be overly concerned about the blueliner's status. In his stead, Alec Martinez will return to action after sitting out the previous contest as a healthy scratch. Rotowire.com Today, 10:42 am
