Sanheim (rest) will not play in Tuesday's home clash against the Canadiens.

The Flyers secured the last playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division, so Sanheim will receive a game of rest in Philadelphia's regular-season finale. Overall, the 30-year-old blueliner has 11 goals, 37 points, 95 shots on goal, 46 hits and 152 blocked shots across 81 games this season. He'll miss his first game over the past two years, and he has managed to play in all but five games over the last five seasons. Sanheim will likely return to the Flyers' top pair to play alongside Rasmus Ristolainen when the battle for Pennsylvania begins in the team's upcoming playoff series against the Penguins.

Couturier won't play in Thursday's regular-season finale against the Canadiens due to rest purposes, Bill Meltzer of the Flyers' official site reports.

Couturier has missed just two games since the Olympic break, but he'll get a night off for the Flyers' regular-season finale. Across 23 appearances since the league's layoff, he's recorded seven goals, three assists, 38 hits, eight blocked shots and eight PIM while averaging 15:32 of ice time. He should be back in action for the start of the playoffs.

Ristolainen (rest) will not play in Tuesday's home clash against the Canadiens, per Bill Meltzer of the Flyers' official site.

The Flyers have secured the last playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division, so Ristolainen will receive a game of rest in Philadelphia's regular-season finale. Across 44 games this season, the 31-year-old blueliner has 14 points, 58 shots on net, 48 hits and 63 blocked shots. He'll likely return to the Flyers' top pair to play alongside Travis Sanheim when the battle for Pennsylvania begins in the team's upcoming playoff series against the Penguins.

Konecny (rest) won't be in the lineup against Montreal on Tuesday, according to Bill Meltzer of the Flyers' official site.

Konecny will miss Philadelphia's regular-season finale to rest before the opening round of the playoffs. He has amassed 27 goals, 68 points, 168 shots on net and 108 hits in 2025-26.

Nyman was summoned from AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday.

Seattle assigned Jacob Melanson and Oscar Fisker Molgaard to the minors in corresponding moves. That could open the door for Nyman to play against Vegas on Wednesday. He has four goals, two assists, 31 shots on net and 22 hits in 26 NHL appearances this season.

Comrie will draw Tuesday's road start against the Mammoth, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

With the Jets eliminated from postseason contention, Winnipeg will turn to Comrie to give Connor Hellebuyck some rest. Overall, Comrie has a 12-9-1 record, a 2.95 GAA and an .894 save percentage across 23 appearances this season. Tuesday's appearance will be his second in the team's last three games after he appeared in relief of Hellebuyck on Saturday. Comrie will face off against the Mammoth, who should pose a good challenge for the 30-year-old netminder with their 12th-ranked 3.23 goals per game this season.

Melanson was assigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday.

Seattle returned Oscar Fisker Molgaard to the minors and brought up Jani Nyman in corresponding moves. The 22-year-old Melanson has two goals, three assists, 33 shots on net and 189 hits in 36 NHL outings this season. He also has seven goals and 16 points in 26 AHL appearances this campaign.

Fisker Molgaard was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday.

Since his promotion March 25, Fisker Molgaard appeared in 10 games for Seattle and notched his second NHL assist of the season. He'll return to the Firebirds, where he has 10 goals, 32 points and 78 shots on net across 46 games this season. The 21-year-old center is an upside stash in deep dynasty leagues in fantasy ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Wotherspoon (rest) isn't projected to play versus the Blues on Tuesday, according to Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

Wotherspoon will sit out Pittsburgh's regular-season finale for some additional rest ahead of the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He has generated three goals, 30 points, 70 shots on net, 113 blocked shots and 163 hits across 80 appearances in 2025-26.

Miller recorded an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Miller missed 35 games due to a knee injury. He's had a tough campaign, getting limited to two assists, 18 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-8 rating over 16 appearances so far. He'll have two more chances to play as the Jets visit the Mammoth on Tuesday before hosting the Sharks in the regular-season finale Thursday. Miller is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer.
