NHL Player News

DiPietro posted a 20-save shutout in AHL Providence's 1-0 win over Springfield on Sunday.

DiPietro has won 12 of his last 14 games, posting two shutouts in that span. He's been superb throughout the campaign with a 34-7-1 record, a 1.88 GAA and a .931 save percentage over a career-high 44 games. Providence looks set for a lengthy playoff run, so DiPietro probably won't be getting called up to the NHL unless absolutely necessary.

Shabanov (upper body) won't play against Montreal on Sunday, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Shabanov will miss his second straight game, and it's unclear if he will be ready for Tuesday's regular-season finale against Carolina. He has contributed five goals, 18 points, 56 shots on net and 27 hits in 44 appearances this campaign.

Fowler will start Sunday's road game against the Islanders, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Fowler hasn't appeared in any of the Canadiens' last three games, but he'll draw the start in the team's penultimate regular-season game. Across two starts this month, he's gone 1-1-0 with a 2.04 GAA and .907 save percentage.

Zacha has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Blue Jackets, Adam Pellerin of NESN reports.

Since the Bruins have already clinched a playoff berth, they're resting several of their regulars -- including Zacha -- for their penultimate regular-season game. Across five appearances in April, Zacha has recorded two goals, two assists, five hits and a blocked shot while averaging 16:57 of ice time. It's not yet clear whether he'll suit up Tuesday against the Devils, but he should be back for the start of postseason play.

Lindholm (rest) won't play against Columbus on Sunday, per Belle Fraser of the Bruins' official site.

Lindholm will get a breather after the Bruins clinched a playoff spot. He has accounted for five goals, 25 points, 99 shots on net and 102 blocked shots across 66 appearances this season.

McAvoy has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Blue Jackets for rest purposes, Adam Pellerin of NESN reports.

The Bruins have clinched a spot in the playoffs, so McAvoy is one of several players who will rest during the team's penultimate regular-season matchup. Regardless of whether McAvoy suits up against the Devils on Tuesday, he should be ready for the start of the playoffs. Across 68 regular-season games, he has 11 goals, 50 assists, 124 blocked shots, 79 hits and 62 PIM while averaging 24:29 of ice time.

Arvidsson (rest) won't play against Columbus on Sunday, per Adam Pellerin of NESN.

Arvidsson has accounted for 24 goals, 53 points and 173 shots on net across 68 appearances this season. He will get a break in Sunday's game, but he could return to the lineup in Tuesday's regular-season finale against New Jersey.

Korpisalo will defend the road net against Columbus on Sunday, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Korpisalo will get the second half of Boston's back-to-back after Jeremy Swayman played in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Tampa Bay. The 31-year-old Korpisalo has a 13-9-6 record this campaign with one shutout, a 3.19 GAA and an .892 save percentage in 30 appearances. Columbus ranks 17th in the league with 3.04 goals per game this season.

Chabot has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Devils due to rest purposes, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.

Chabot returned to game action Thursday following a multi-week absence due to a broken forearm that required surgery, but he's one of several key contributors who will rest during the Senators' penultimate regular-season game. Regardless of whether he returns to action for Wednesday's game against Toronto, he should be ready for the start of the playoffs.

Stutzle (rest) won't play against New Jersey on Sunday, according to Jackson Starr of the Senators' official site.

Stutzle will take the game off to rest after the Senators secured a spot in the playoffs. He has accounted for 34 goals, 83 points, 194 shots on net and 126 hits across 80 outings this campaign.
