Jiricek scored a goal and added three assists in OHL Brantford's 8-1 win over North Bay in Game 1 on Wednesday.

Jiricek has had two big games in the OHL postseason -- a five-point contest and Wednesday's four-point performance. He's gone scoreless in the Bulldogs' other three playoff games. Jiricek will need to improve his consistency, but he should have plenty of time to keep helping Brantford get offense from the blue line.

Carlo (lower body) won't finish Wednesday's game versus the Capitals.

Carlo was ruled out for the rest of the game at the start of the third period. The 29-year-old defenseman will be questionable to play Thursday versus the Islanders. If he can't go, look for Troy Stecher to draw back into the lineup.

Jansson was summoned from AHL Charlotte on Wednesday, per the AHL transactions page.

Jansson has three goals and 10 points in 29 outings with Charlotte in 2025-26. He hasn't made his NHL debut, but he might get a shot during this stint. Florida is missing defensemen Uvis Balinskis (foot), Aaron Ekblad (finger), Dmitry Kulikov (finger) and Niko Mikkola (knee).

Hovorka was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Wednesday.

A day after being sent down by the Panthers, Hovorka will rejoin the NHL club with a week remaining in the regular season. Across three appearances with Florida this year, Hovorka has been held without a point while recording three hits and a blocked shot.

Legault was recalled from AHL Chicago on Wednesday.

Legault has three goals, seven points and 48 PIM in 22 appearances with AHL Chicago in 2025-26. He also has a goal, two points and 10 PIM in eight outings with Carolina this campaign.

Parekh scored a power-play goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.

Parekh has three goals this season, all within the last seven games. The 20-year-old continues to depend on the power play for his offense, as all but one of his seven points have come on the man advantage. He's added 36 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 32 appearances in his rookie year.

Myers notched an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

Myers missed the previous three games due to an undisclosed injury. The Stars rolled with seven defensemen, allowing them to manage Myers' minutes -- he saw just 14:30 of ice time. He's at 11 points, 84 shots on net, 80 hits, 108 blocked shots, 46 PIM and a minus-26 rating over 69 outings between the Stars and the Canucks this season.

Seeler scored an empty-net goal and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Devils.

Seeler ended a 17-game point drought with the empty-netter. That span also included two absences due to an undisclosed injury. Seeler has been a regular on the Flyers' third pairing throughout the season, but he has just nine points to go with 90 shots on net, 119 hits, 135 blocked shots and 34 PIM over 76 appearances.

Chiarot logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, three blocked shots and four PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Chiarot ended a 22-game point drought that dated back to January when he helped out on the first of Justin Faulk's two goals Tuesday. Despite the lack of offense, Chiarot has maintained his place in the lineup as a shutdown defender on the Red Wings' second pair. His 13 points equal his total from last year, and he's added 98 shots on net, 165 hits, 158 blocked shots, 73 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 78 appearances this season.

Zadorov notched two assists, four hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Zadorov ended his six-game point drought with this effort. The 30-year-old has been a physical force on the blue line this year, but he's also chipped in enough offense to warrant consideration in fantasy. He's at 22 points, 104 shots on net, 193 hits, 150 PIM, 101 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating over 78 appearances. That matches his point total from last year, and he would set a new career high if he can make one more scoring contribution over the Bruins' final three regular-season games.
