Parayko scored a goal, added seven PIM and went plus-2 in Monday's 6-3 win over the Wild.

Parayko's offense has come on strong late in the season with three goals and an assist over his last six games. It's too little and too late to help the Blues now, but it's an encouraging sign after he failed to score before February. The defenseman has four goals, 18 points, 102 shots on net, 169 blocked shots, 94 hits and a minus-6 rating over 75 appearances in a top-four role.

Josi notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.

Josi missed Thursday's game versus the Mammoth due to an upper-body injury, but he's been back for the last two contests. He has a goal and six assists over his last six outings. Despite his strong play down the stretch, the Predators fell short of a playoff spot. Josi has 13 goals, 55 points, 181 shots on net and 101 blocked shots over 68 contests this season. It's possible the defenseman will be invited to the IIHF World Championship, which is being hosted by his native Switzerland in May.

Stecher notched an assist in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Stars.

Stecher ended his 10-game point drought with the helper. The 32-year-old defenseman has played more often than not lately, but that hasn't led to much production anywhere. He's at 14 points, 62 shots on net, 30 hits, 79 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 63 appearances between the Maple Leafs and the Oilers this season.

Benoit logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Stars.

Benoit ended a nine-game point drought with the helper. He hasn't scored a goal this season, picking up just six assists with 58 shots on net, 192 hits, 112 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a minus-22 rating over 72 appearances. The Maple Leafs close their season in Ottawa on Wednesday.

Lundkvist (illness) will return to the lineup against Buffalo on Wednesday, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

Following a three-game absence, Lundkvist will play in the Stars' regular-season finale. He has produced three goals, 11 points, 46 shots on net, 47 blocked shots and 26 hits across 51 appearances this campaign.

Petrovic notched an assist and three hits in Monday's 6-5 win over the Maple Leafs.

Petrovic has played in three of the last five games. The 34-year-old has been called upon in the absences of Miro Heiskanen (lower body) and Nils Lundkvist (illness). If the Stars' blue line is at full health in the postseason, Petrovic will likely be no more than a part-time option, but as a steady veteran on the third pairing, he may get looks as a change-of-pace player. He has contributed 10 points, 57 shots on net, 88 hits, 77 blocked shots and 47 PIM over 54 appearances this season.

Moser recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Moser has picked up five helpers over his last 15 games, but he's gone 18 contests without a goal. The 26-year-old defenseman continues to see top-four minutes for the Lightning, and it's his play in his own zone that keeps him in that role. He's at 29 points, 111 shots on net, 91 blocked shots, 61 hits, 69 PIM and a plus-41 rating over 79 appearances this season.

Robertson scored a goal and added two hits in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers.

Robertson has chipped in six points over his last 17 contests. The 25-year-old has seen steady playing time down the stretch, though he's still functionally in a bottom-four role. He's at 18 points, 79 shots on net, 105 hits, 79 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 71 outings this season.

Bahl (lower body) will remain sidelined against the Avalanche on Tuesday, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Bahl is set to miss his fourth consecutive game Tuesday. The left-shot defenseman's last chance to return to the lineup in 2025-26 will be against the Kings on Thursday.

Kuznetsov (upper body) will miss the rest of the 2025-26 regular season, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan on Tuesday.

After sitting out Sunday's 4-1 win over Utah because of the injury, Kuznetsov won't play against the Avalanche and Kings on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively. He will conclude the 2025-26 campaign with four goals, 12 points, 64 shots on net, 103 blocked shots and 79 hits across 57 appearances.
