Pulock (undisclosed) will not play in Tuesday's home matchup versus Carolina.

The Islanders relayed in their announcement that Pulock has been contending with several injuries. The right-shot blueliner will now turn his attention to healing up in the offseason in order to be ready for training camp in the fall. Isaiah George will draw into the lineup in the Isles' regular-season finale.

Parayko scored a goal, added seven PIM and went plus-2 in Monday's 6-3 win over the Wild.

Parayko's offense has come on strong late in the season with three goals and an assist over his last six games. It's too little and too late to help the Blues now, but it's an encouraging sign after he failed to score before February. The defenseman has four goals, 18 points, 102 shots on net, 169 blocked shots, 94 hits and a minus-6 rating over 75 appearances in a top-four role.

Barbashev recorded a goal and an assist in Monday's 6-2 win over the Jets.

Even though Barbashev wasn't as dominant as Mark Stone (three points) or Jack Eichel (four points), he'll continue to have plenty of scoring opportunities as long as he remains on the first line. The Russian winger is ending the season on a strong note with 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) over his last 12 appearances.

Akhtyamov was assigned to AHL Toronto on Tuesday.

The Maple Leafs recalled Dennis Hildeby from the minors in a corresponding move. Akhtyamov has gone 0-2-0 while allowing 11 goals on 81 shots in three NHL appearances this season. In the AHL, he has a 20-12-4 record with a 2.90 GAA and a .903 save percentage across 36 games.

Neighbours scored a goal, added two PIM and logged five hits in Monday's 6-3 win over the Wild.

Neighbours ended a 23-game goal drought with an insurance tally early in the third period. He picked up eight assists during that slump, including seven of them over the previous eight contests. For the season, the 24-year-old winger is at 15 goals, 34 points, 83 shots on net, 147 hits, 34 blocked shots and 43 PIM across 67 outings, a step back after consecutive 20-goal campaigns.

Stone had an even-strength goal and two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 6-2 win over the Jets.

Even though Jack Eichel grabbed most of the praise after his four-point performance, Stone also posted a strong line and extended a prolific stretch of his own. Stone has cracked the scoresheet in seven of the Golden Knights' last nine games, tallying 11 points (seven goals, four assists) and a plus-13 rating over that impressive stretch. The efficiency has been eye-popping as well, with Stone converting 31.8 percent of his shots into goals in those nine contests.

Buchnevich scored a goal and went plus-2 in Monday's 6-3 win over the Wild.

Buchnevich has two points over his last two outings, though that followed a four-game skid with a one-game absence for maintenance in the middle. The 30-year-old has maintained a top-six role for much of the campaign, generating 18 goals, 46 points, 138 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 30 hits and a minus-11 rating over 79 appearances. Barring a big performance over the last two games of the season, Buchnevich will fall short of the 20-goal and 50-point marks for the first time as a Blue.

Eichel recorded a power-play goal and three assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 6-2 win over the Jets.

Eichel extended his point streak to three games, but even if there are games in which he doesn't crack the scoresheet, it's hard to overlook what the star center has done of late. He has posted at least three points in three of his last eight games, tallying 13 points (three goals, 10 helpers) and a plus-10 rating over that stretch. With 88 points in 73 regular-season contests and just one game left on the schedule, Eichel will have to deliver another dominant performance Wednesday against the Kraken if he wants to reach the 90-point plateau for the second time in his career.

Hildeby was called up from AHL Toronto on Tuesday.

Hildeby's promotion is unlikely to come with any minutes, as Joseph Woll figures to get the nod in the season finale versus Ottawa on Wednesday. In his 19 appearances for the Leafs this year, the 24-year-old Hildeby is sporting a 5-6-4 record to go with a 2.90 GAA and one shutout.

Josi notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.

Josi missed Thursday's game versus the Mammoth due to an upper-body injury, but he's been back for the last two contests. He has a goal and six assists over his last six outings. Despite his strong play down the stretch, the Predators fell short of a playoff spot. Josi has 13 goals, 55 points, 181 shots on net and 101 blocked shots over 68 contests this season. It's possible the defenseman will be invited to the IIHF World Championship, which is being hosted by his native Switzerland in May.
