Studnicka scored twice and added two assists in AHL Charlotte's 8-1 win over Springfield in Game 1 on Wednesday.

Studnicka's strong performance came in Charlotte's playoff opener. The forward put up 30 points over 41 regular-season appearances. Prior to this game, he had logged just three points across eight previous playoff outings at the AHL level.

Johnston (lower body) won't play Wednesday in Game 2 versus the Oilers, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Johnston is expected to play at some point in the first round, but it won't happen Wednesday. He has been participating in team skates this week. The 32-year-old's next chance to play is Friday in Game 3, though it's not yet clear if he'll be in the lineup for that contest.

Dickinson (undisclosed) won't play Wednesday in Game 2 versus the Ducks, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.

Dickinson was able to play in Game 1 on Monday, but it appears he's come out of the contest worse for wear. Curtis Lazar will draw into the lineup to cover Dickinson's absence. It's unclear at this time if Dickinson will be able to play Friday in Anaheim in Game 3.

Trenin (upper body) won't play in Game 3 versus the Stars on Wednesday.

Trenin will be out of action after sustaining the injury in Game 2 on Monday. The 29-year-old will be replaced by Nico Sturm for Game 3. Trenin's next chance to play is Saturday in Game 4.

Zuccarello (upper body) won't play Wednesday in Game 3 versus the Stars.

Zuccarello will miss a second straight game due to the injury. He was labeled a game-time call Wednesday, which suggests he is likely in the day-to-day range. His next chance to play is Saturday in Game 4.

Andrae (upper body) will remain out for Game 3 versus the Penguins on Wednesday, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.

Andrae missed Game 2 as well, and he doesn't have a firm timeline for his return. That likely means Noah Juulsen will stay in the lineup for Wednesday's contest. Andrae will have a couple of days to work toward getting healthier before Game 4 on Saturday.

Murashov was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Since Wilkes-Barre/Scranton has a bye through the first round of the AHL postseason, Murashov will spend a little time with the big club as a third goalie. The 22-year-old will likely be swapped out for a different netminder once the Baby Pens' playoff run begins.

Ingram will patrol the crease at home for Game 2 against Anaheim on Wednesday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Ingram gave up more goals versus the Ducks (three) than he has in his previous four outings, but he still walked away with the win. Overall, the 29-year-old backstop is 3-1-1 with an impressive 1.70 GAA in his last five outings. At this point, even if Ingram were to lose Game 2, he's earned himself enough leeway to get another start or two.

Dostal is expected to start on the road against Edmonton in Game 2 on Wednesday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Dostal stopped 30 of 34 shots in a 4-3 loss to Edmonton in Game 1 on Monday. The 25-year-old also struggled at the end of the regular season, going 2-5-1 with a 3.63 GAA and an .857 save percentage across his final eight appearances. He'll attempt to rebound Wednesday, but it will be difficult against the Oilers, who ranked sixth in goals per game during the regular season with an average of 3.44.
