Pinto notched an assist, three shots on goal and five hits in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 1.

Pinto has racked up eight points over 10 outings since the start of April. The 24-year-old opens the postseason in a third-line role, but he led all Senators forwards with 19:23 of ice time, so he'll be more of a factor than his place in the lineup suggests. The center set a career high with 37 points in 70 regular-season contests in 2024-25.

Cozens notched an assist, two shots on goal, five hits and 10 PIM in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 1.

Cozens set up a Drake Batherson tally in the first period to get the Senators on the board. The 24-year-old Cozens recorded seven points over the last seven regular-season games, and he should continue to carry some momentum while seeing second-line minutes and power-play time. He's a well-rounded option for fantasy, having posted 47 points, 188 shots on net, 205 hits, 68 PIM and a minus-17 rating over 82 regular-season appearances between Ottawa and Buffalo.

Greig scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 1.

Greig briefly cut the deficit to 4-2 in the third period before Morgan Rielly answered 45 seconds later. The 22-year-old Greig picked up 10 points over his last 13 regular-season contests as the Senators surged into the playoffs, and he looks to have kept some momentum up. He had a total of 34 points, 119 shots on net and 138 hits across 78 regular-season appearances this year.

Jarnkrok managed an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Senators in Game 1.

Jarnkrok helped out on Oliver Ekman-Larsson's opening goal at 7:09 of the first period. The 33-year-old Jarnkrok has a helper in three straight contests while sticking in a fourth-line role. The veteran forward was limited to 19 regular-season appearances, earning seven points, nine shots on net, 15 hits and nine blocked shots. He isn't expected to be a major factor on offense as long as he's confined to the bottom six.

Laughton notched an assist, two hits and two PIM in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Senators in Game 1.

Laughton set up Oliver Ekman-Larsson on the opening goal at 7:09 of the first period. For now, Laughton is holding down a role as the fourth-line center. He could move around the lineup once David Kampf gets back in, but Laughton is not expected to be a scratch. In the regular season, Laughton combined for 31 points, 125 shots on net, 178 hits, 54 blocked shots and a minus-18 rating over 80 appearances between Toronto and Philadelphia.

McMann recorded an assist, two hits and two PIM in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Senators in Game 1.

McMann helped out on a Morgan Rielly tally in the third period. The 28-year-old McMann opened the playoffs in a third-line role, which may make it difficult for him to put up steady offense, though he adds plenty of physicality. He had a career-best 20 goals and 34 points while adding 169 shots, 136 hits and a plus-12 rating over 74 regular-season outings, though he was limited to just one helper over his previous 11 games.

Matthews notched two assists, including one on the power play, and added six shots on net, four hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Senators in Game 1.

Matthews sprung Mitch Marner for a breakaway goal in the first period, and then did work closer to the net to set up Matthew Knies' power-play tally to close the scoring. The 27-year-old Matthews was hot in April with four goals and six helpers over eight contests to close the regular season at a total of 78 points in 67 outings. The superstar center is poised to play on the top line and first power-play unit throughout Toronto's playoff run.

Tavares scored a goal on six shots, added an assist and logged three hits in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Senators in Game 1.

Tavares' power-play goal at 4:07 of the second period stood as the game-winner. He also set up a William Nylander tally a few minutes later. Tavares was resurgent on offense with 38 goals and 74 points over 75 regular-season outings, though he was a little quieter with five points over eight games to begin April. He'll spend the bulk of his time on the second line while also playing on the first power-play unit, putting him in a good position to rack up points.

Glass sustained an undisclosed injury in Sunday's 4-1 loss to Carolina in Game 1, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Glass logged two hits and a minus-1 rating in 9:04 of ice time prior to departing. The right-shot center should be considered day-to-day ahead of Game 2 on Tuesday. If he's forced to miss any time, Curtis Lazar or Tomas Tatar could draw back into the lineup.

Draisaitl (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup for Game 1 against the Kings on Monday, Derek Van Diest of NHL.com reported Saturday.

Drasaitl appeared in only three of Edmonton's final 14 games, finishing the 2024-25 regular season with 106 points and a league-leading 52 goals in 71 appearances. He will occupy a top-six role and skate on the first power-play combination versus the Kings in Game 1.
