Robby Fabbri C | MIN
Wild's Robby Fabbri: First point with new team
Fabbri scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Fabbri hasn't gotten many chances to play with the Wild since he was claimed off waivers from the Blues in early March. He got a look late in the season while the Wild rested some regulars. Fabbri ends the regular season with five points, 30 shots on net, 44 hits and a minus-4 rating over 21 appearances, and he may not play often during the playoffs.

Bo Horvat C | NYI
Islanders' Bo Horvat: Nets 300th career goal
Horvat scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
It was the 300th goal of Horvat's career, a milestone he reached in his 881st game. That puts a positive spin on the end of the campaign, though Horvat will no doubt be disappointed to miss the playoffs. He snapped an eight-game goal drought Tuesday and ends the season with 31 tallies, 57 points, 226 shots on net, 51 hits, 38 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 68 appearances. That matches his point total from 81 regular-season contests a year ago, and this was the fourth time in five years he got over the 30-goal mark.

Mark Jankowski C | CAR
Hurricanes' Mark Jankowski: Deposits game-winner
Jankowski scored a goal and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Islanders.
Jankowski has three goals over his last three games. The 31-year-old played a larger role while the Hurricanes rotated some players out of the lineup over the last week of the season. Expect Jankowski to be a regular on the fourth line in the playoffs, though Jesperi Kotkaniemi could come in if Jankowski struggles. Over 68 appearances this season, Jankowski produced 21 points -- the most he has had since his 32-point year with the Flames in 2018-19. He also added 63 shots on net, 45 hits, 45 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 68 appearances.

Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Scores lone goal in loss
Jenner scored a goal on four shots and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.
Jenner has three points over his last three games, his longest streak since he got on the scoresheet in four straight contests from Dec. 29 to Jan. 4. The 32-year-old had another steady campaign with 13 goals, 25 assists, 132 shots on net, 147 hits, 66 blocked shots and 44 PIM across 67 appearances. He is poised to be an unrestricted free agent in the summer if he doesn't reach an extension with the Blue Jackets.

Flames' Blake Coleman: Scores 20th goal of season
Coleman scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Coleman snapped a four-game goalless skid by finding the back of the net in the first period of this 3-1 loss with a tip-in. The goal allowed Coleman to reach the 20-goal plateau for the fourth time in his career. He'll head into Thursday's regular-season finale with 35 points (20 goals, 15 helpers) across 68 appearances.

Mason McTavish C | ANA
Ducks' Mason McTavish: Scores twice vs. Minnesota
McTavish scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.
McTavish accounted for all the offense the Ducks could muster in Tuesday's loss. The 23-year-old playmaker is ending the regular season on a hot streak with points in five of his last six appearances, tallying three goals and three assists over that stretch. He has 17 goals and 40 points through 74 appearances this campaign.

Hunter Haight C | MIN
Wild's Hunter Haight: Reassigned to minors
Haight will report to AHL Iowa, Minnesota announced Wednesday.
Haight completed the NHL regular season with a goal and two points in nine appearances with Minnesota. He also has 18 goals and 32 points in 51 outings with Iowa, which has not finished its regular-season schedule. Iowa won't make the playoffs, so Haight won't get much more work in the minors this campaign.
