Horvat (undisclosed) will miss the rest of the 2025 IIHF World Championship, Hockey Canada announced Tuesday.

A reason for Horvat's removal from Team Canada was not provided, and it's unclear if he suffered an injury in the tournament. The left-shot center banked four goals (two on the power play) and four assists over six appearances with the Canadians. Porter Martone, a highly regarded prospect in the upcoming 2025 NHL Entry Draft, will replace Horvat on the roster.

McMann produced an assist, three shots on goal and five hits in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 7.

McMann had two assists over the last two games of the playoffs. In total, he picked up three helpers, 18 shots on net, 49 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-2 rating in 13 postseason outings while filling a third-line role. McMann can do better than that, though this was his first year of playoff experience. He had 20 goals and 34 points in 74 regular-season outings and should be a viable depth pick in fantasy for 2025-26.

Domi scored a goal and added three hits in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 7.

Domi's tally 2:07 into the third period gave the Maple Leafs a brief hope of a comeback, cutting the Panthers' lead to 3-1 at the time. Those hopes were quickly dashed, as Eetu Luostarinen tipped in a goal 47 seconds later, allowing Florida to cruise into the Eastern Conference Finals. Domi put up three goals, four assists, 19 shots on net, 17 hits, 33 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 13 playoff appearances while primarily serving as Toronto's third-line center.

Rodrigues notched an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7.

Rodrigues missed two games due to an undisclosed injury. He was able to return to a top-six role and saw 17:41 of ice time as the Panthers closed out the Maple Leafs to get into the Eastern Conference Finals. Rodrigues continues to be a decent depth forward with four assists, 16 shots on net, 19 hits and a minus-1 rating over 10 playoff appearances.

Barkov logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7.

Barkov helped out on Seth Jones' opening tally in the second period and also fed Sam Reinhart with a faceoff win for the Panthers' fifth goal. This was Barkov's first multi-point effort since the playoff opener versus the Lightning on April 22. The 29-year-old center is up to three goals, seven assists, 27 shots on net, 32 hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 12 postseason contests. He'll continue to be busy in the Eastern Conference Finals, where his two-way skills will be tested by the Hurricanes' relentless puck possession and grinding playing style.

Lundell scored a goal on four shots, blocked four shots and went plus-3 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7.

Eetu Luostarinen's shot generated a big rebound, and Lundell was there to knock it home at 7:18 of the second period. That goal stood as the game-winner in the series-clinching win. Lundell continues to fill a third-line role to great success, picking up four goals, six assists, 25 shots on net, 15 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 12 playoff outings. His line with Luostarinen and Brad Marchand could be an X-factor in the Eastern Conference Finals versus the Hurricanes.

Reinhart scored a goal, added four hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7.

A quick faceoff win by Aleksander Barkov left Reinhart with space to shoot, and Reinhart's shot was true to give the Panthers a 5-1 lead midway through the third period. The 29-year-old winger earned five points over the last five games of the second round. Overall, he's at four goals, 11 points, 41 shots on net, 27 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating across 12 playoff outings in a top-line role.

Luostarinen scored a goal on four shots, dished two assists, added four hits and went plus-3 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7.

Luostarinen set up Anton Lundell's game-winning goal at 7:18 of the second period. In the third, Luostarinen added a tip-in goal and also fed Brad Marchand for the empty-netter. It has been a fairly effective postseason for Luostarinen, who is up to three goals, nine assists, 16 shots on net, 54 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 12 playoff outings. It's a luxury for the Panthers to have him with Lundell and Marchand on the third line, giving the team plenty of depth to contend with the Hurricanes' stout defense in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Rodrigues (undisclosed) is expected to play against Toronto on Sunday in Game 7, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Rodrigues will probably return to a top-six role after missing the last two games. He has contributed three assists, 16 shots on goal and 19 hits across nine appearances this postseason. Rodrigues will replace Jesper Boqvist in Sunday's lineup versus the Maple Leafs.

Vilardi recorded an assist in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 6.

Vilardi picked up four points over six games in the second round. That was an improvement for the 25-year-old after he was held off the scoresheet in three first-round outings following his return from an upper-body injury. Vilardi added 21 shots on net, 11 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over nine playoff outings. He was a regular in the Jets' top six in 2024-25, earning 27 goals and 61 points in 71 regular-season games. He's a restricted free agent this offseason, but he should be back in the fold for 2025-26 once he signs a new deal.
