NHL Player News

Gastrin was assigned to AHL Hershey on Thursday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Gastrin scored 10 goals and 24 points in 39 regular-season outings with MoDo of HockeyAllsvenskan in 2025-26. HockeyAllsvenskan is the second-highest tier league in Sweden. The 18-year-old was selected by Washington with the No. 37 overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.

Halliday played in just five of the Senators' last 25 games of the regular season, including an appearance in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Halliday was a regular earlier in the season, but he ended up filling a depth role down the stretch until the Senators rested some key players. He ends his rookie year with four goals, seven assists, 34 shots on net, 30 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 30 appearances. Halliday is likely to be back in the press box for Game 1 versus the Hurricanes on Saturday.

Giroux notched two assists and six shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Giroux posted two goals and three assists over the last six games of the regular season. The 38-year-old didn't get rested to close out the campaign, so it's safe to assume he's relatively healthy for the postseason. He had 14 goals, 35 assists, 138 shots on net, 65 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-20 rating over 82 regular-season contests, production nearly identical to last year.

Foegele scored a power-play goal on two shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Foegele ended an 11-game goal drought with his second-period tally, which was the game-winner. He had just one assist during the slump. He ends the regular season with 13 goals, 17 points, 105 shots on net, 74 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 68 outings between the Senators and the Kings. Foegele will likely play on the fourth line during the postseason.

Cozens scored an empty-net goal on four shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Cozens has three goals and four assists over eight contests in April. The 25-year-old didn't take rest after the Senators clinched their playoff spot, and he played in all 82 games for the second year in a row. This was a strong regular season for him -- he ends with 28 goals, 31 assists, 29 power-play points, 205 shots on net, 215 hits, 59 PIM and a minus-7 rating. Cozens should continue to hold down a second-line job in the postseason.

Batherson scored a power-play goal on two shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Batherson ended the regular season hot with six goals and four assists over his last 11 contests. The winger added 17 shots on net and 18 hits in that span. He concludes the regular season with career highs in goals (33) and points (71) while adding 167 shots on net, 122 hits, 33 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 79 appearances. Batherson will likely hold a top-six role during the postseason.

Reimer stopped 19 of 20 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Reimer played the last two games of the regular season to give Linus Ullmark some rest before the postseason. On the year, Reimer has a 7-4-2 record with a 2.42 GAA and an .886 save percentage across 14 contests. It'll likely be Ullmark in net for the vast majority of the Senators' playoff games, so don't expect to see Reimer very much moving forward.

Lankinen will get the starting nod on the road versus Edmonton on Thursday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Despite allowing three or more goals in each of his last three outings, Lankinen finds himself entering the season finale on a three-game winning streak. While the Finnish backstop has had some recent success, it's been a disappointing year overall, as he is sporting a career-worst 3.65 GAA and managed just 11 wins in 46 appearances.

Turcotte (undisclosed) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's clash in Calgary, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Turcotte will sit out his eighth straight game with the injury. He has three goals and 11 assists across 62 regular-season games this season. The 25-year-old was selected fifth overall in 2019 and with 13 goals and 30 assists over 162 regular-season games across parts of five seasons in the NHL, Turcotte has to be considered a disappointment.

Jansson recorded a power-play assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Red Wings.

The helper was Jansson's first point in four NHL outings. He added three shots on net, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating during his time with the Panthers late in the campaign. He'll likely be reassigned to AHL Charlotte in the coming days to participate in the minor-league team's playoff effort.
