NHL Player News

Point (rest) practiced on the first line Friday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

The Lightning rested Point in their season finale Wednesday against the Rangers. Point centered Nikita Kucherov and Gage Goncalves during Friday's skate. Point had a relatively disappointing 2025-26 campaign, tallying 18 goals and 32 assists in 63 regular-season games after averaging more than a point a game in each of the previous three seasons.

Kerins was assigned to AHL Calgary on Friday.

Kerins was called up by the Flames on Tuesday and appeared in the team's final two games. In total, he made four appearances for the NHL club during the regular season, and he was held without a point but logged five blocked shots, three hits and two PIM while averaging 15:00 of ice time.

Sergeev was sent to AHL Calgary on Friday.

Sergeev made his NHL debut Thursday, stopping 27 shots in a 3-1 win over Los Angeles. The netminder was 5-13-8 with a 3.29 GAA with the Wranglers this season.

Suniev was reassigned to AHL Calgary on Friday.

Suniev played six regular-season games for the Flames this season, picking up his first NHL point April 12. He had 15 goals and 23 points in 55 AHL regular-season contests before his recall.

Carrier (upper body) participated in Friday's practice session on the second defensive pairing, Marc Antoine Godin of Radio-Canada reports.

Carrier has been sidelined since late March due to his upper-body injury, and he was initially expected to miss 2-4 weeks. He's reached the short range of that threshold, and his participation in Friday's practice signals that he could return to action for the start of postseason play. However, the Canadiens haven't yet revealed his status for Sunday's Game 1 against the Lightning.

Lundkvist inked a two-year, $3.5 million contract extension with Dallas on Friday.

Lundkvist returned to action Wednesday after missing three games with an illness, as well as the birth of his child. Lundkvist had three goals and eight assists in 52 regular-season games with the Stars this season.

Stankoven (illness) participated in Friday's practice session, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Stankoven sat out Thursday's practice session due to an illness, but his return to the ice a day later signals that he'll presumably be ready for Game 1 against the Senators on Saturday. He appeared in 81 regular-season games this year and logged 21 goals, 23 assists, 50 hits, 25 PIM and 22 blocked shots while averaging 15:27 of ice time.

Kolosov was summoned from AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday.

Kolosov spent most of the 2025-26 season playing at the AHL level, posting a 15-21-2 record with a 2.98 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 38 regular-season games. Kolosov appeared in four NHL games this earlier in the year, going 0-2-0 with a 4.00 GAA. The Flyers returned Carson Bjarnason to AHL Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Bjarnason was loaned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday.

Bjarnason was recalled by the Flyers on Thursday, but he'll head back to the minors a day later after Aleksei Kolosov was called up Friday. Bjarnason hasn't yet made his NHL debut, and it's unclear whether he'll rejoin Philadelphia at any point during postseason play.

Quillan will end the 2025-26 campaign playing for AHL Toronto, the team announced Friday.

Quillan played in 23 games for the Leafs this year, notching one goal, two assists and 14 shots while dishing out 46 hits. Depending on how active the team is during free agency this summer, Quillan could find himself on the Opening Night roster and playing the majority of his games in the NHL next year.
