Luca Cagnoni D | SJ
Sharks' Luca Cagnoni: Rejoins NHL club
Cagnoni was recalled from AHL San Jose on Monday.
Cagnoni had a brief stint in the NHL in late March, recording an assist, eight blocked shots, a hit and four PIM while averaging 17:37 of ice time over five appearances. The Sharks are dealing with multiple injuries late in the year, so Cagnoni will rejoin the NHL club ahead of the final two games of the regular season.

Darren Raddysh D | TB
Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Considered day-to-day
Raddysh (undisclosed) is day-to-day and could play against Florida on Tuesday, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.
Raddysh didn't participate in Monday's practice after missing the third period in Sunday's 7-4 win over Buffalo. However, the 29-year-old defender will test his injury Tuesday morning and stands a good chance of being available to play versus the Panthers. Raddysh has five goals, 36 points, 104 shots on net and 66 blocked shots through 71 appearances this season.

Philip Broberg D | STL
Blues' Philip Broberg: Rejoins team
Broberg (personal) practice with the team ahead of Tuesday's games versus Utah, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Broberg will return to the lineup after missing just one game while attending to a personal matter. In 67 games this year, the 23-year-old defenseman has set career highs in goals (eight), assists (21) and shots (97) and figures to offer decent fantasy value in the playoffs while playing in a top-four role.

Canucks' Kirill Kudryavtsev: Recalled by Vancouver
Kudryavtsev was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on an emergency basis Monday.
Kudryavtsev signed with the Canucks on a three-year, entry-level contract in March of 2023 after being drafted in the seventh round in 2022. He'll join the NHL club for the first time with two games remaining in the regular season. Over 63 appearances with Abbotsford this year, he's recorded five goals, 21 assists and 22 PIM.

Thomas Harley D | DAL
Stars' Thomas Harley: Sitting again Monday
Harley (rest) won't play against Detroit on Monday, per Sean Shapiro of DLLS Sports.
Harley will miss his second straight game for rest but could return to the lineup in Wednesday's regular-season finale versus Nashville. The 23-year-old defender has 16 goals, 50 points, 169 shots on net and 109 blocked shots through 77 appearances this season. With Harley and Esa Lindell (rest) not playing, Brendan Smith and Alex Petrovic will play against the Red Wings.

Esa Lindell D | DAL
Stars' Esa Lindell: Sitting again against Wings
Lindell (rest) will not be an option for Monday's game versus Detroit, Sean Shapiro of DLLS Sports reports.
Officially, Lindell is being rested, but the fact that he is missing a second straight game would seem to indicate he is dealing with something. While the 30-year-old Finn is mired in a 10-game goal drought, he has chipped in four helpers over that stretch. At this point, Lindell should probably be considered questionable heading into Wednesday's matchup with Nashville, as the Stars may choose to rest him again in the regular-season finale.

Miro Heiskanen D | DAL
Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Ruled out for Game 1 of playoffs
Heiskanen (knee) has been ruled out for Game 1 of the Stars' first-round series against the Avalanche but could return later in the series, Sean Shapiro of DLLS Sports reports.
Initial reports suggested that Heiskanen would be unavailable for the entire first round of the playoffs, but he's only been ruled out for the first game of the opening series, and the Stars will likely evaluate him on a game-by-game basis after that. The 25-year-old has been sidelined since late January due to his knee injury. Over 50 appearances with Dallas this year, he's recorded five goals, 20 assists, 85 blocked shots and 17 hits while averaging 25:10 of ice time.

Aamodt was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Monday.
Aamodt played in two straight games with the Avalanche to conclude the regular season, including his NHL debut versus the Kings on Saturday. He posted one goal, three shots on net, nine blocked shots and six hits with the big club. The 27-year-old defender has three goals and 16 points in 66 AHL outings this campaign.

Jack Ahcan D | COL
Avalanche's Jack Ahcan: Reassigned to AHL
Ahcan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Monday.

Ahcan made 67 appearances in the AHL this year, racking up five goals, 36 assists and 20 PIM.

Mikkola (rest) won't be in the lineup for Monday's matchup against the Rangers, per George Richards of Florida Hockey Now.
Mikkola will get the game off to rest but could return to action in Florida's regular-season finale versus Tampa Bay on Tuesday. He has generated six goals, 22 points, 113 shots on net, 88 blocked shots and 132 hits across 75 appearances this season. Dmitry Kulikov (upper body) will replace Mikkola in Monday's lineup.
