Miner logged an 18-save shutout in AHL Colorado's 3-0 win over San Diego in Game 1 on Wednesday.

Miner earned his first AHL playoff shutout with this effort. The goalie went 17-8-5 with a 2.62 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 32 regular-season appearances. Isak Posch is serving as the Avalanche's third goalie in the NHL postseason, so Miner should see the bulk of the starts for the Eagles while their playoff run is active.

Lettieri scored three goals and added an assist in AHL Toronto's 5-0 win over Rochester in Game 1 on Wednesday.

Lettieri produced 42 points in 55 regular-season outings for the Marlies this year. He's already over halfway to his best AHL playoff campaign -- he had seven points in eight postseason contests for Providence last year.

Akhtyamov recorded a 16-save shutout in AHL Toronto's 5-0 win over Rochester in Game 1 on Wednesday.

Akhtyamov allowed 11 goals on 81 shots over three NHL outings this season, though two of those games were late in the season when the Maple Leafs had nothing to play for. He was serviceable in the AHL with a 21-12-4 record, a 2.88 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 37 regular-season games. This was his AHL playoff debut.

Gregor scored twice in AHL Charlotte's 8-1 win over Springfield in Game 1 on Wednesday.

Gregor had 17 points over 26 regular-season contests in the AHL, as well as nine points over 37 NHL outings. The 27-year-old will get to play frequently for Charlotte throughout the AHL playoffs. He is set for free agency in the summer.

Studnicka scored twice and added two assists in AHL Charlotte's 8-1 win over Springfield in Game 1 on Wednesday.

Studnicka's strong performance came in Charlotte's playoff opener. The forward put up 30 points over 41 regular-season appearances. Prior to this game, he had logged just three points across eight previous playoff outings at the AHL level.

Johnston (lower body) won't play Wednesday in Game 2 versus the Oilers, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Johnston is expected to play at some point in the first round, but it won't happen Wednesday. He has been participating in team skates this week. The 32-year-old's next chance to play is Friday in Game 3, though it's not yet clear if he'll be in the lineup for that contest.

Dickinson (undisclosed) won't play Wednesday in Game 2 versus the Ducks, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.

Dickinson was able to play in Game 1 on Monday, but it appears he's come out of the contest worse for wear. Curtis Lazar will draw into the lineup to cover Dickinson's absence. It's unclear at this time if Dickinson will be able to play Friday in Anaheim in Game 3.

Trenin (upper body) won't play in Game 3 versus the Stars on Wednesday.

Trenin will be out of action after sustaining the injury in Game 2 on Monday. The 29-year-old will be replaced by Nico Sturm for Game 3. Trenin's next chance to play is Saturday in Game 4.

Zuccarello (upper body) won't play Wednesday in Game 3 versus the Stars.

Zuccarello will miss a second straight game due to the injury. He was labeled a game-time call Wednesday, which suggests he is likely in the day-to-day range. His next chance to play is Saturday in Game 4.

Andrae (upper body) will remain out for Game 3 versus the Penguins on Wednesday, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.

Andrae missed Game 2 as well, and he doesn't have a firm timeline for his return. That likely means Noah Juulsen will stay in the lineup for Wednesday's contest. Andrae will have a couple of days to work toward getting healthier before Game 4 on Saturday.
