Dach isn't in the lineup for Game 4 in Anaheim on Sunday due to an illness, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Dach is being replaced in the lineup by Jason Dickinson, who missed the previous two games in this series because of an undisclosed injury. Dach has recorded 15 hits while averaging 8:53 of ice time so far in the 2026 postseason. Game 5 is set for Tuesday in Edmonton.

Kozak (undisclosed) didn't finish Sunday's 6-1 win over the Bruins in Game 4, per Justin Alpert and Jourdon LaBarber of the Sabres' official site.

Kozak generated an even-strength assist and a plus-1rating in 10:59 of ice time prior to exiting in the third period Sunday. Head coach Lindy Ruff said that the team talked about Kozak returning to the game, but the Sabres elected to keep the forward out since they were up 6-0 in the final frame. Until there is an update on his status, Kozak should be considered day-to-day ahead of puck drop in Buffalo for Game 5 on Tuesday.

Dickinson (undisclosed) will suit up in Game 4 on Sunday in Anaheim, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Dickinson was sidelined for the previous two games in this series after scoring two goals on two shots in a 4-3 win in Game 1 on Monday. The 30-year-old will center the third line between Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jack Roslovic for this pivotal game in Anaheim before the series shifts back to Edmonton for Game 5 on Tuesday.

Krebs produced a goal and an assist Sunday during the Sabres' 6-1 win over the Bruins in Game 4 of their first-round series.

The 25-year-old opened the scoring early in the first period before helping to set up Alex Tuch for the Sabres' final tally in the third. Krebs has opened his playoffs with a four-game point streak, piling up two goals and five points, and he'll look to extend it in Game 5 on Tuesday as Buffalo tries to punch its ticket to the second round.

Norris (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Game 4 against Boston on Sunday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Norris remains day-to-day and will miss his second straight game. He also didn't participate in Saturday's practice. Norris hasn't earned a point in two appearances this postseason, but he has posted two shots on net, one blocked shot and six hits.

Sturm registered an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Stars in Game 4.

Sturm set up a Marcus Foligno goal in the third period. This effort ended a five-game point drought for Sturm, who has played the last two contests while both of Yakov Trenin (upper body) and Mats Zuccarello (upper body) are out of the lineup. Sturm was limited to 11 points over 49 regular-season appearances this year, and prior to this campaign, he had a total of five points in 30 career playoff outings.

Greig will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety for roughing Sean Walker during Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

The incident in question surrounds a post-whistle scrum in which Greig punched Walker while Walker was engaged with another player. The 23-year-old Greig was not penalized on the play, but the Department of Player Safety will take a look regardless. The Senators were eliminated with Saturday's loss, so if a suspension is handed down, Greig would have to serve it at the beginning of next season.

Duchene produced two power-play assists Saturday in the Stars' 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild in Game 4 of their first-round series.

The veteran center helped set up tallies by Jason Robertson early in the first period and Miro Heiskanen late in the second, but Dallas couldn't find any more offense. Duchene has reeled off three straight multi-point performances and five of his seven points during that stretch, including both his goals, have come with the man advantage. He'll look to stay hot in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Fisker Molgaard scored twice in AHL Coachella Valley's 5-4 win over Bakersfield in Game 2 on Saturday.

Fisker Molgaard had the Firebirds' last two goals of the game, keeping their season alive for one more day, at least. He had 34 points over 49 regular-season appearances in the AHL, and he added two assists in 13 NHL contests with the Kraken. The Danish forward still has a bit to prove in the AHL, but he may see more time in the NHL in 2026-27.

Jarvis logged two assists in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Senators in Game 4.

Jarvis had gone six games without a point entering this contest. He also rested three times prior to the start of the postseason, but the Hurricanes got through a first-round sweep of the Senators without getting much out of the top line. Jarvis had 66 points over 71 regular-season outings this year. In his playoff career prior to this year, he picked up 19 goals and 43 points across 55 appearances.
