Darren Raddysh D | TB
Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Ruled out versus Red Wings
Raddysh (undisclosed) will not be available against Detroit on Monday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Raddysh will miss his second straight game due to his undisclosed injury. In his last 13 outings, the blueliner has generated five goals and seven helpers, including a trio of power-play points. With Raddysh on the shelf, Charle-Edouard D'Astous is expected to run the No. 1 power-play unit.

Sean Kuraly C | BOS
Bruins' Sean Kuraly: Records three points in win
Kuraly scored a goal and added two assists in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
The Bruins' fourth line stepped up in a big way Sunday, as Kuraly and Mark Kastelic combined for five points in this win. Don't expect Kuraly to become a viable fantasy contributor overnight, though. This performance ended a 22-game point drought, with his previous scoring contribution being a goal in a 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets on Feb. 26.

Dan Vladar G | PHI
Flyers' Dan Vladar: First goalie off Monday
Vladar was the first goalie to exit the ice ahead of Monday's home game against the Hurricanes, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Vladar will make his sixth straight appearance in the crease, having gone 4-1-0 with a 1.80 GAA in his previous five outings. As long as the Flyers are fighting for a playoff spot, fantasy managers can expect to see Vladar guarding the cage, which includes possibly taking both ends of Philadelphia's back-to-back and playing Tuesday at home versus Montreal.

Matthew Tkachuk LW | FLA
Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Remains unavailable
Tkachuk (personal) won't play against the Rangers on Monday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Tkachuk will miss his fourth straight game, but he might return to the lineup in Wednesday's regular-season finale against Detroit. He has 13 goals, 32 points, 88 shots on net and 29 hits in 30 appearances this campaign. Tkachuk has been away from the team to be with his wife for the birth of their first child.

Henri Jokiharju D | BOS
Bruins' Henri Jokiharju: Two points Sunday
Jokiharju scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
The 26-year-old blueliner hadn't been part of the lineup since a 2-1 loss to the Panthers on April 2, but he returned with a bang in this one. His limited usage reduces his fantasy appeal, but Jokiharju has made his presence felt when on the ice. He has two goals and four assists over his last six appearances dating back to March 16 while averaging 17:06 of ice time in that span.

Daniil Tarasov G | FLA
Panthers' Daniil Tarasov: Facing Rangers
Tarasov will patrol the home crease against the Rangers on Monday, per Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network.
Tarasov will make his second straight start after stopping 17 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over Toronto. He has gone 11-15-3 this season with a 3.16 GAA and an .892 save percentage through 31 appearances. Since the start of March, the Rangers sit fourth in the league with 3.62 goals per game.

Joonas Korpisalo G | BOS
Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Earns win vs. Columbus
Korpisalo stopped 33 of 35 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Korpisalo bounced back from losing back-to-back games in overtime to the Flyers and Hurricanes, and he recorded his first win since March 31, when he stopped 13 of 16 shots in a 6-3 victory over the Stars. Despite the 1-0-2 record in his last three outings, Korpisalo is ending the season on a strong note after allowing just five goals on 83 shots (.940 save percentage) in those three contests. It remains to be seen whether Korpisalo or Jeremy Swayman will get the start in the regular-season finale against the Devils on Tuesday.

Mark Kastelic C | BOS
Bruins' Mark Kastelic: Scores, assists Sunday
Kastelic scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Kastelic might have stepped up with two points in this game, but it's hard to trust him in most fantasy formats due to his recent performances. This two-point effort ended a 16-game point drought, and he hadn't scored since Feb. 4, when he found the back of the net in a loss to the Panthers. That lack of production, coupled with his bottom-six role, suggests this was just an outlier. Don't expect Kastelic to have a big role on offense in the regular-season finale against the Devils on Tuesday.

Andrei Vasilevskiy G | TB
Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: First off Monday
Vasilevskiy was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Diandra Loux of The Hockey News reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against Detroit on Monday.
Vasilevskiy is coming off a 20-save performance in Saturday's 2-1 win over Boston. He has a 38-15-4 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.30 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 57 appearances. Detroit is tied for 20th in the league with 2.94 goals per game this season.

Nicolas Aube-Kubel RW | MIN
Wild's Nicolas Aube-Kubel: Brought up from AHL
Aube-Kubel was recalled from AHL Iowa on Monday, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Aube-Kubel has contributed one assist, four shots on goal, four blocked shots and four hits in four NHL appearances this season. He has spent the majority of the 2025-26 season in the AHL, where he has 15 goals and 37 points across 60 games.
