  • Flames' Matthew Coronato: Ruled out versus Avs

    Coronato is dealing with an undisclosed injury and won't be available against Colorado on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

    Coronato was rolling offensively prior to getting hurt, riding a five-game point streak during which he notched one goal and four assists. With the winger on the shelf, Victor Olofsson figures to slot into a top-six role while Rory Kerins joins the lineup following his promotion from the minors.

  • Oilers' Connor McDavid: Scores vs. Colorado

    McDavid scored a goal in Monday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Avalanche.

    McDavid's wrister in the second period was all the offense the Oilers could muster in this game. The star center has scored five goals over his last four appearances, and he's found the back of the net eight times in his last 11 appearances, tallying 19 points in total (11 goals, 8 assists) over that span.

  • Oilers' Connor Ingram: Stops 30 shots in SO loss Monday

    Ingram stopped 30 of 31 shots in Monday's shootout loss to the Avalanche.

    Ingram might be ending the season on a sour note from a record perspective, as he's won just one of his last three starts, but he isn't the one to blame for that record. Ingram has posted a 1.48 GAA and an excellent .935 save percentage over that stretch, so he remains a strong fantasy option in most formats. The Oilers will play their final game of the regular season Thursday at home against Vancouver.

  • Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Makes 30 saves in SO win

    Wedgewood stopped 30 of 31 shots in Monday's shootout win over the Oilers.

    Wedgewood was beaten by a Connor McDavid wrister in the second period, but other than that, he was excellent between the pipes. Wedgewood has been one of the best goaltenders in the NHL in 2025-26 and is a big reason why the Avalanche will finish the regular season with the league's best record. He's also ending the campaign on a hot streak with five wins over his last six appearances, posting a 1.28 GAA and a .948 save percentage in that span.

  • Devils' Nico Daws: Starting in Boston

    Daws will guard the road goal against the Bruins on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

    Daws is coming off a 27-save effort in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over Ottawa. He has a 2-0-0 record in two NHL appearances this season, stopping 57 of 61 shots. Boston ranks 11th in the league during the 2025-26 campaign with 3.26 goals per game.

  • Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Set to start Tuesday

    Vejmelka (undisclosed) was the first goalie off at Tuesday's morning skate, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports, indicating that he'll start at home against the Jets.

    Vejmelka didn't dress for Sunday's game against Calgary for an undisclosed reason, but he'll tend the twine in the Mammoth's penultimate regular-season game. He's been effective in recent weeks, going 5-1-0 with a 2.86 GAA and .897 save percentage across his last six starts, and he'll presumably serve as Utah's top option in the crease once the playoffs begin.

  • Islanders' David Rittich: Set to face Hurricanes

    Rittich is expected to protect the home net against Carolina on Tuesday, according to Luca Dallasta of the Islanders' official site.

    Rittich will make his first start since March 24 against Chicago, when he allowed three goals on 12 shots before being pulled after the first period. He has a 14-9-3 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.78 GAA and an .894 save percentage across 29 appearances. Carolina sits second in the league with 3.57 goals per game this season.

  • Penguins' Rafael Harvey-Pinard: Brought up from minors

    Harvey-Pinard was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.

    Harvey-Pinard has not played in a game for Pittsburgh yet this season, but that might change Tuesday in St. Louis since the team is locked into the No. 2 spot in the Metropolitan Division. The 2019 seventh-round pick has accumulated 19 goals, 36 points and a plus-18 rating over 64 outings in the minors in 2025-26.

    Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Getting road start

    Dobes will be in goal Tuesday in Philadelphia, according to Patrick Friolet of RDS.

    Dobes allowed at least three goals in three of his last four appearances, but he came out with a 3-1-0 record during that time. His seven-game winning streak was snapped Saturday, though, as he allowed five goals on 33 shots in a 5-2 home loss to Columbus. As far as Tuesday's game, the Flyers are on the second half of a back-to-back and will likely rest some of their regulars, while the Canadiens are playing for home ice in their first-round series against the Lightning.

  • Canadiens' Phillip Danault: Getting night off Tuesday

    Danault will be rested for Tuesday's clash with the Flyers, Patrick Friolet of RDS reports.

    Danualt has been struggling offensively since the Olympic break, garnering just three points in his last 24 contests. Overall, it's been a disappointing campaign for the veteran forward, as he has produced a meager 17 points in 75 appearances for the Kings and Habs -- well off the 40-plus points he tallied in each of the prior four years.
