Gregor scored twice in AHL Charlotte's 8-1 win over Springfield in Game 1 on Wednesday.

Gregor had 17 points over 26 regular-season contests in the AHL, as well as nine points over 37 NHL outings. The 27-year-old will get to play frequently for Charlotte throughout the AHL playoffs. He is set for free agency in the summer.

Studnicka scored twice and added two assists in AHL Charlotte's 8-1 win over Springfield in Game 1 on Wednesday.

Studnicka's strong performance came in Charlotte's playoff opener. The forward put up 30 points over 41 regular-season appearances. Prior to this game, he had logged just three points across eight previous playoff outings at the AHL level.

Dickinson (undisclosed) won't play Wednesday in Game 2 versus the Ducks, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.

Dickinson was able to play in Game 1 on Monday, but it appears he's come out of the contest worse for wear. Curtis Lazar will draw into the lineup to cover Dickinson's absence. It's unclear at this time if Dickinson will be able to play Friday in Anaheim in Game 3.

Trenin (upper body) won't play in Game 3 versus the Stars on Wednesday.

Trenin will be out of action after sustaining the injury in Game 2 on Monday. The 29-year-old will be replaced by Nico Sturm for Game 3. Trenin's next chance to play is Saturday in Game 4.

Krebs scored a goal, added two PIM and logged two hits in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Bruins in Game 2.

Krebs pulled the Sabres within two goals at 15:08 of the third period, but the Bruins were able to avoid blowing a four-goal lead. With a pair of points over two playoff contests, as well as four hits and a plus-4 rating, Krebs' first postseason run is off to a strong start. He is seeing top-six minutes at even strength, though he'd be a candidate to get shuffled down to the bottom six if the Sabres need to adjust their lines.

Zacha scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Sabres in Game 2.

Zacha has a goal, an assist, three shots and two hits over two playoff games so far. Both of his points have come on the power play, where he's seeing time on the first unit. The 29-year-old had a career year in the regular season with 30 goals and 65 points across 78 appearances. Zacha is in the playoffs for the fourth time in his career -- over the previous three postseason runs, he totaled a goal and 12 points in 25 contests.

Geekie scored a goal and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Sabres in Game 2.

Geekie's tally came from the neutral zone, with the puck evading Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen on what should have been a harmless shot. Those are the kinds of bounces a player who shot 21.5 percent in the regular season can get. Geekie has earned four points over two playoff outings and has a total of seven goals and two assists across his last six games.

Dickinson (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Game 2 against Anaheim on Wednesday, per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton.

Dickinson was also a game-time call ahead of Game 1 on Monday. He ended up playing a huge role in that clash, scoring two goals in 12:01 of ice time. Curtis Lazar will probably draw into the lineup if Dickinson can't play.

Trenin (upper body) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's Game 3 against the Stars.

Trenin sustained an upper-body injury during Monday's Game 2 against Dallas, and he'll be monitored in the hours leading up to Wednesday's puck drop before the Wild determine his status. If he's unable to suit up in Game 3, Robby Fabbri and Nico Sturm are candidates to enter the lineup.

Ostlund (upper body) might be able to play in Game 3 against Boston on Thursday, per Jourdon LaBarber of the Sabres' official site.

Ostlund had 11 goals and 27 points in 60 regular-season appearances with Buffalo in 2025-26. He missed the Sabres' final 10 regular-season games and their first two playoff outings due to the injury. Jordan Greenway might be a healthy scratch if Ostlund is available Thursday.
