Wild's Bobby Brink: Unavailable against Toronto
Brink (upper body) will remain sidelined against the Maple Leafs on Sunday, per Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News.
Brink will miss his third consecutive contest due to his upper-body injury. The 24-year-old's next opportunity to get back into the lineup will be in Chicago on Tuesday. If Brink is ready for that game against the Blackhawks, Nico Sturm will probably be a healthy scratch.

Jack Nesbitt C | PHI
Flyers' Jack Nesbitt: Earns three points for Windsor
Nesbitt scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Windsor's 8-2 win over London on Sunday.
Nesbitt has a goal and six assists over four contests in March. The Flyers prospect has seen mostly stagnant offense from last year to this year, posting 19 goals and 52 points through 52 outings after coming up a point short of a point-per-game pace in 65 outings in 2024-25. Nesbitt was selected 12th overall in 2025, so there will be higher expectations for the 19-year-old heading into next season, though he could help with a strong playoff run in the OHL.

Lukas Dostal G | ANA
Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Drawing start in Montreal
Dostal will patrol the road blue paint Sunday against the Canadiens, according to the NHL media site.
Dostal will get the start in the second half of a back-to-back after Ville Husso occupied the crease in Saturday's 2-0 loss in Ottawa. The Canadiens are also on the second half of a back-to-back -- they lost 4-2 at home against the Sharks on Saturday. Dostal earned a win against the Canadiens in Anaheim on March 6, but he gave up five goals on 28 shots in that game. Moreover, Dostal has conceded exactly five goals in four of his last seven appearances.

Red Wings' Eddie Genborg: Pens entry-level deal
Genborg signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Red Wings on Sunday.
Genborg's entry-level deal will begin next season. The 18-year-old winger will now report to AHL Grand Rapids for the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign on an amateur tryout. The 2025 second-round pick (No. 44 overall) generated nine goals, 25 points and a plus-8 rating across 43 games with Timra IK of the Swedish Hockey League this season.

Alex Huang D | NSH
Predators' Alex Huang: Earns three helpers in QMJHL win
Huang notched three assists in QMJHL Chicoutimi's 9-3 win over Rimouski on Sunday.
Huang has earned six helpers over his last three games. Chicoutimi's offense has been elite in recent weeks, which has allowed Huang to play a large role on offense. The Nashville prospect is up to 67 points (nine goals, 58 assists) through 60 appearances this season in his third campaign. A fourth-round pick in 2025, Huang has defied that drop in the draft with a breakout season.

Troy Terry RW | ANA
Ducks' Troy Terry: Returning to lineup
Terry (upper body) is expected to play in Sunday's road matchup versus the Canadiens, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Terry was on the ice for pregame warmups in Montreal, indicating he will return to the lineup for the first time since Feb. 25. The 28-year-old has recorded 13 goals, 45 points, 107 shots and a plus-7 rating over 46 appearances this season.

Matej Blumel RW | BOS
Bruins' Matej Blumel: Two goals in loss Sunday
Blumel scored twice in AHL Providence's 4-3 loss to Springfield on Sunday.
Blumel has operated near a point-per-game pace this season, earning 17 goals and 26 helpers over 44 contests. He also has a career-best plus-20 rating in his fourth AHL campaign and first with Providence. Blumel has gotten on the scoresheet in eight of his last nine games, totaling seven goals and five assists in that span.

Daniil Tarasov G | FLA
Panthers' Daniil Tarasov: Between pipes in Seattle
Tarasov will defend the road cage Sunday in Seattle, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Tarasov picked up his first win since Jan. 25 against the Red Wings on Tuesday, stopping 25 of 28 shots in a 4-3 win. The 26-year-old owns a 9-10-2 record, 2.82 GAA and .901 save percentage through 22 outings this season. The Kraken have struggled lately, but they snapped their four-game losing streak in Vancouver on Saturday in a 5-2 victory. Seattle is tied for 23rd in the NHL with 2.83 goals per game and is 16-13-5 on home ice in 2025-26.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Practices Sunday
Pettersson (knee) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, and he expects to play against Florida on Tuesday, according to Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.
Pettersson left Saturday's 5-2 loss to Seattle after slamming into the boards. However, he declared himself good to go after Sunday's practice. Pettersson has two goals, eight points, 37 shots on net, 72 blocked shots and 105 hits over 56 appearances this season.

Alex Wennberg C | SJ
Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Out of lineup Sunday
Wennberg (upper body) did not take the ice for warmups and won't play Sunday against the Senators, the team announced.
Wennberg's absence comes as a bit of a surprise after he finished Saturday's game against the Canadiens and recorded an assist in 16:45 of ice time. The 31-year-old is in the midst of one of his best seasons, registering 43 points (13 goals, 30 assists) in 64 games. The Sharks will next be in action Tuesday in Edmonton, and it remains to be seen whether Wennberg will be available for that game.
