  • Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Departs Sunday's game

    Raddysh (undisclosed) did not play in the third period of Sunday's 7-4 win over Buffalo, and head coach Jon Cooper did not have an update on his status after the game, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

    Raddysh logged 9:06 of ice time prior to exiting in the second period. The Lightning went with 11 forwards and seven defensemen Sunday due to a few injuries up front, so they'll need to promote someone from AHL Syracuse if Raddysh is forced to miss any time. The 29-year-old should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's potential preview of a first-round playoff matchup against the Panthers.

  • Owen Power D | BUF

    Sabres' Owen Power: Season likely over

    Power (lower body) will be evaluated when the team returns to Buffalo, but he's expected to be out "a while," according to head coach Lindy Ruff, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports Sunday.

    The Sabres have only two games remaining on their schedule, and considering Ruff's comment, Power's season is likely over. If that's the case, he'll conclude 2024-25 with seven goals and 40 points over 79 appearances. A more substantial update on Power's status should be available after he's evaluated by the club's doctors.

  • Senators' Thomas Chabot: Grabs three points in win

    Chabot scored a goal and registered two assists in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over Philadelphia.

    Chabot was involved in all three regulation goals for Ottawa. He assisted on goals scored by Tim Stutzle and Fabian Zetterlund before netting the game-tying goal in the third period to send the contest to overtime. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to eight goals, 36 assists and 174 shots on net in 79 appearances this season. Chabot is currently on his best scoring streak of the season, with nine points in his last five games. His scoring run has raised his season total to 44 points, which is the second-highest mark of his nine-year career, and Chabot's 79 appearances this year are the most he has played in a season.

  • Sharks' Vincent Desharnais: Not suiting up in Calgary

    Desharnais (upper body) will remain sidelined for Sunday's road matchup versus the Flames, per the NHL media site.

    Desharnais will miss his ninth consecutive game Sunday, and he probably won't be available for the second half of San Jose's back-to-back set in Vancouver on Monday. The right-shot defenseman has suited up in just seven games for the Sharks since being acquired from Pittsburgh on March 5.

  • Neal Pionk D | WPG

    Jets' Neal Pionk: Given maintenance day

    Pionk (rest) will not be in the lineup Sunday against the Oilers, according to Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press.

    Pionk has played in two games since missing 12 contests due to a lower-body injury, but he'll get the day off Sunday as the Jets have already clinched the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. Winnipeg's last game of the regular season is against the Ducks on Wednesday.

  • Jets' Josh Morrissey: Not in lineup Sunday

    Morrissey (rest) won't play Sunday versus the Oilers, per Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press.

    The Jets are locked into the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, so they are giving Morrissey and a few other players the day off Sunday. It's not yet known if the left-shot blueliner will be in the lineup for Winnipeg's regular-season finale Wednesday against the Ducks.

  • Capitals' Jakob Chychrun: Ready to return Sunday

    Chychrun (illness) is set to return Sunday versus the Blue Jackets, according to Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

    Chychrun was held out of Washington's previous two games because of the illness. He's projected to serve on the second pairing alongside Trevor van Riemsdyk. Alexander Alexeyev is set to be a healthy scratch versus Columbus.

  • Tyler Myers D | DAL

    Canucks' Tyler Myers: Unavailable for Monday

    Myers (undisclosed) won't play Monday versus San Jose, per Ben Kuzma of Postmedia on Sunday.

    It will be Myers' sixth straight game on the shelf. He has six goals, 24 points, 74 PIM, 87 hits and 125 blocks in 71 appearances in 2024-25. His final opportunity to play in 2024-25 will come Wednesday versus Vegas.

  • Canucks' Derek Forbort: Suffers broken orbital bone

    Forbort suffered a broken orbital bone during Vancouver's 3-2 overtime loss to Minnesota on Saturday, Ben Kuzma of Postmedia reports Sunday.

    No timetable was provided for Forbort, but it's safe to say he will miss Vancouver's final two games, which are scheduled for Monday and Wednesday against San Jose and Vegas, respectively. The 33-year-old defenseman has two goals, 11 points, 45 PIM, 65 hits and 77 blocks in 54 appearances with the Canucks in 2024-25. Tyler Myers (undisclosed) won't be an option to play Monday, so the Canucks are expected to recall a defenseman from the minors.

  • Capitals' Jakob Chychrun: Game-time call

    Chychrun (illness) is expected to be a game-time decision Sunday versus Columbus, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

    Chychrun has missed Washington's past two games due to the illness. He has 20 goals and 47 points in 72 appearances in 2024-25. Alexander Alexeyev is expected to be a healthy scratch if Chychrun is able to return.
