NHL Player News

Slavin has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Flyers for an undisclosed reason, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Slavin will be out for the second time in the Hurricanes' last three games, as the team is resting several key players in the penultimate game of the regular season. Whether he'll suit up Tuesday against the Islanders remains to be seen, but he should be back in action for the start of the playoffs.

Gostisbehere has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Flyers for an undisclosed reason, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

While a specific reason for Gostisbehere's absence hasn't been revealed, he appears to be simply getting a night off since several of the Hurricanes' key contributors will be sidelined Monday. It's not yet clear whether he'll suit up Tuesday against the Islanders, but he should be available for the start of the playoffs.

Faber won't play in Monday's game against the Blues due to rest purposes, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Faber has appeared in every game for the Wild this year, but he'll get a night off in the penultimate game of the regular season since Minnesota's playoff seeding is secure. It's not yet clear whether he'll suit up Tuesday against the Ducks, but he should be back in action for the start of the playoffs.

Hughes (rest) won't play against St. Louis on Monday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Hughes will get at least one game off to rest, but it's unclear if he will play in Tuesday's regular-season finale against Anaheim. He has generated seven goals and 76 points in 74 games between Minnesota and Vancouver this campaign.

Del Mastro (undisclosed) will play Monday versus Buffalo, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

Del Mastro has failed to generate a point in 17 games for the Blackhawks this year, so few fantasy managers figure to be impacted by his return to the lineup. Given his offensive limitations, the 23-year-old defenseman doesn't offer enough category coverage to make him more than a low-end depth option heading into 2026-27.

Raddysh (undisclosed) will not be available against Detroit on Monday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Raddysh will miss his second straight game due to his undisclosed injury. In his last 13 outings, the blueliner has generated five goals and seven helpers, including a trio of power-play points. With Raddysh on the shelf, Charle-Edouard D'Astous is expected to run the No. 1 power-play unit.

Jokiharju scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

The 26-year-old blueliner hadn't been part of the lineup since a 2-1 loss to the Panthers on April 2, but he returned with a bang in this one. His limited usage reduces his fantasy appeal, but Jokiharju has made his presence felt when on the ice. He has two goals and four assists over his last six appearances dating back to March 16 while averaging 17:06 of ice time in that span.

Weegar notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and three blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.

Weegar was able to get on the scoresheet in his first game back in Calgary since he was dealt to Utah. The defenseman missed a game due to an upper-body injury earlier in April, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he got rested for one or both of the Mammoth's last two contests before the playoffs. In 77 outings between the Flames and the Mammoth this season, he has four goals, 22 helpers, 153 shots on net, 166 hits, 173 blocked shots, 84 PIM and a minus-32 rating.

Pachal scored a goal, dished two assists and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mammoth.

Pachal had just four assists in 36 games for the whole season prior to this contest. He added helpers on goals by Matthew Coronato and Mikael Backlund before capping the Flames' scoring on a goal midway through the third period. Pachal has played in just five of the last 15 games for the Flames, but he could finish the year in a third-pairing role since injuries have started to stack up on the blue line. He's at seven points, 28 shots on net, 88 hits, 35 blocked shots, 47 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 37 appearances.

Kudryavtsev notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks.

Kudryavtsev was making his first NHL appearance in nearly a year after getting into two games late in 2024-25. The 22-year-old could be on a similar path this year as the Canucks get a late look at him this season. Prior to his call-up Saturday, he produced 18 points in 42 AHL contests for Abbotsford. He spent a little time on the NHL roster in October and November but didn't get into a game.
