  • Kings' Joel Edmundson: Expected to return Thursday

    Edmundson (upper body) is slated to play Thursday against the Flames, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

    Edmundson missed the Kings' previous five matchups. The 31-year-old believes he could have returned sooner, but he took some extra time off to get ready for the first round of the playoffs. Edmundson has six goals, 20 points, 97 hits and 107 blocks in 72 regular-season outings. He'll likely serve in a top-four capacity in his return.

  • Ian Moore D | ANA

    Ducks' Ian Moore: Collects first NHL assist

    Moore posted an assist in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Jets.

    This was Moore's first point in three NHL games. The defenseman added four shots on net, a hit, a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating. Moore signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Ducks last Saturday, and playing this season burned the first year off that deal. He'll be in the mix for a spot on the blue line during training camp ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

  • Sharks' Shakir Mukhamadullin: Undergoes shoulder surgery

    Mukhamadullin underwent shoulder surgery last week, Max Miller of NHL.com reports Thursday.

    Mukhamadullin is expected to be fully healthy ahead of training camp in September. The defenseman had two goals and nine assists across 30 appearances this season. He should take on a bigger role with the Sharks next season, as the 23-year-old was selected 20th overall by the Devils in 2020.

  • Sean Walker D | CAR

    Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Notches helper Wednesday

    Walker logged an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.

    Walker ended a six-game slump with his helper, a span in which he went minus-8. He's played a larger role recently with the Hurricanes cycling out defensemen for rest, but he's yet to step out of the lineup himself, though that could happen Thursday versus the Senators. If he plays, he'll have appeared in all 82 games for the first time in his career. Walker is at 16 points, 144 shots on net, 87 hits, 89 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 81 appearances this season.
