Miller scored a goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Bruins.

Miller is off to a good start in April with a goal and three assists over his last four games. The defenseman is up to seven goals, 36 points, 119 shots on net, 98 hits, 77 blocked shots, 54 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 70 appearances. He's all but certain to fall short of his career-best 43-point in the 2022-23 regular season with the Rangers, but Miller remains a solid contributor in most categories while seeing top-four minutes for the Hurricanes.

Slavin scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Bruins.

Slavin's first goal of the year couldn't come at a better time -- he scored 1:13 into overtime to seal the win that clinched the Metropolitan Division for the Hurricanes. He has three points over his last five games, though he's been limited to seven points, 62 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 38 appearances this season due to injuries that cost him most of the first half. Slavin has been logging his usual top-four minutes since late January and will be a defensive pillar heading into the playoffs.

Stankoven scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Bruins.

Stankoven is on a five-game point streak, consisting of five goals and an assist. The 23-year-old forward is up to 19 goals, a career-high 39 points, 159 shots on net, 49 hits, 25 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 78 appearances. Three of his goals during his streak have come with the man advantage, but he's earned just eight of his points in that situation this year.

Thompson will tend the twine for Wednesday's road clash with Toronto, Capitals radio play-by-play announcer John Walton reports.

Thompson has given up four or more goals in four of his last five outings while still posting a 4-1-0 record. He has gone 28-21-6 this season with two shutouts, a 2.52 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 55 appearances. While being outscored 11-7, Toronto has lost two straight games to begin April.

Duke was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.

Duke made his NHL season debut against the Senators on Tuesday, generating one shot and a minus-1 rating while logging 9:22 of ice time. He has amassed 31 goals and 55 points in 67 AHL appearances this campaign.

DeAngelo (lower body) might be available for Thursday's game against Toronto, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

DeAngelo took part in Wednesday's practice as part of the second pairing alongside Adam Pelech. DeAngelo has five goals and 33 points in 72 outings in 2025-26. He hasn't been in the lineup since March 24 due to the injury.

Luukkonen will be between the pipes on the road against the Rangers on Wednesday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Luukkonen has featured in four of the Sabres' last five contests, going 3-1-0 with a 2.22 GAA and .917 save percentage. While the 27-year-old netminder has already reached the 20-win threshold for the third straight year, he won't get anywhere close to playing 50 games as he did each of the prior two campaigns.

Markstrom turned aside 14 of 18 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to Philadelphia, with the Flyers' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

It was a rough night for Markstrom and the Devils' defense, and a tough way to crash back to earth after the veteran netminder had shut out the Canadiens on Sunday. Markstrom has given up at least four goals in four of his last eight starts, going 4-4-0 over that stretch with a 3.15 GAA and .860 save percentage.

Hofer allowed three goals and made 34 saves in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Hofer was coming off back-to-back wins, including a 3-2 victory over Colorado on Sunday, but he couldn't make it to three wins in a row. Despite the loss, Hofer continues to play at a high level. He has allowed three or fewer goals in seven of his last eight appearances, a stretch in which he's gone 5-2-1 with a 1.96 GAA and a .932 save percentage.

Foerster scored two goals in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Devils.

Both tallies came in the second period as the Flyers blew open a 2-1 game. Foerster has three goals in four games since returning from what was initially feared to be season-ending arm surgery in early December, and he seems to be clicking on the top line with Trevor Zegras as Philly tries to lock down a playoff spot.
