Player Notes

  • Not playing Friday
    Iorio (upper body) will remain out of the lineup for Game 3 against the Rangers on Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

    Advice: Iorio has not returned to practice since he was injured Sunday during Game 1 in New York. The 21-year-old blueliner was pointless in six NHL games during the regular season. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
  • Ready to rock
    Wennberg (undisclosed) will be in the lineup for Game 3 versus Washington on Friday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

    Advice: Wennberg took a maintenance day off Thursday, and was back on the ice for morning skate Friday. The 29--year-old will center the third line, between Will Cuylle and Kaapo Kakko, as well as seeing second-unit power-play time. Wennberg had only one goal and four assists in 19 games with the Rangers, since his trade from Seattle on March 6. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
  • Out of action Saturday
    Lomberg (illness) will not be in the lineup Saturday for Game 4 versus Tampa Bay, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

    Advice: Lomberg has missed the last two games and coach Paul Maurice said Friday that there will be no lineup changes. Lomberg was pointless in Game 1, but had four hits in only 6:32 of ice time. He managed five goals, two assists, 80 PIM and 179 hits in 75 games during the regular season. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
  • Could play Friday
    Sandin (upper body) will be a game-time decision Friday versus the Rangers, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

    Advice: Sandin has missed the last seven games, and finally was in a regular jersey at morning practice Friday. The blueliner had three goals and 23 points in 68 regular-season appearances. Look for Dylan McIlrath to come out of the lineup, should Sandin play in Game 3. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago
  • Game-time call Friday
    Jensen (upper body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Game 3 against the Rangers on Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

    Advice: Jensen was finally able to ditch the non-contact jersey at Friday's game-day skate, which would certainly seem to indicate he'll be back sooner rather than later. Still, coach Spencer Carbery wouldn't confirm that the blueliner will play in Game 3. Even if he does suit up, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting much offensively out of Jensen considering he went pointless in seven straight before getting hurt.

  • Suitting up Friday
    Milano (undisclosed) will be in action against the Rangers for Game 3 on Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

    Advice: Milano has scored just two goals in his last 13 outings while registering a mere 10 shots. Unless the 27-year-old winger starts shooting the puck more, he is unlikely to find the back of the net with any consistency. Nicolas Aube-Kubel figures to find himself watching from the press box with Milano available to play Friday. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago
  • Summoned from AHL
    Holm was recalled from AHL Colorado on Friday.

    Advice: Justus Annunen was unavailable for the first two games in Winnipeg, due to an illness, and he is likely questionable for Friday's Game 3, making the recall of Holm necessary. Holm was 6-6-0 with a 2.97 GAA and an ,887 save percentage in 12 AHL appearances in 2023-24. Rotowire.com Today, 8:07 am
  • Goal streak at three games
    Stamkos scored a goal on two shots and added six hits, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating Thursday in a 5-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 3 of the Lightning's first-round series.

    Advice: The 34-year-old has done his best to keep Tampa Bay afloat, finding the back of the net in three straight games to begin the playoffs, but his team still faces the prospect of getting swept after losing all three contests. Stamkos also has a couple career milestones in his sights -- he needs two more playoff goals for 50 in his career, and one more playoff point for 100 -- and he might need to reach both marks Saturday if the Lightning are going to stay alive.

  • Falls to Cats again in Game 3
    Vasilevskiy stopped 26 of 30 shots Thursday in a 5-3 loss to the Panthers, with Florida's final goal of Game 3 getting scored into an empty net.

    Advice: The 29-year-old hasn't been able to steal a game for the Lightning in the first-round series, and as a result Tampa Bay is staring at the possibility of getting swept. Vasilevskiy hasn't played poorly, allowing nine goals on 94 shots in the Bolts' three losses, but he'll likely need to find another gear if the team is going to stay alive past Saturday's Game 4.
