Bolduc scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Lightning in Game 4.

Bolduc opened the scoring midway through the second period. The 23-year-old has collected three points, seven shots on net, nine hits and a plus-4 rating over four playoff contests despite primarily playing in a bottom-six role. The Canadiens will need their depth players to keep chipping in if they're going to keep pace with an experienced Lightning roster. Bolduc is in the playoffs for the second time in his career -- he earned one assist over seven outings with the Blues in the 2025 postseason.

Guentzel scored a goal on two shots, added a power-play assist and logged two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Canadiens in Game 4.

The tally got the Lightning on the board late in the second period, and it was Guentzel's first goal this postseason. He has seven points, 10 shots on net, three hits, six PIM and a plus-2 rating over four playoff contests this year. In previous postseason campaigns, he amassed 41 goals and 32 assists across 74 outings, including 13 goals and 21 points over 25 games when the won the Stanley Cup with the Penguins in 2017.

Fisker Molgaard scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Coachella Valley's 6-2 win over Bakersfield in Game 3 on Sunday.

Fisker Molgaard has five points over three playoff contests, powering the Firebirds' offense as they advance to the next round of the postseason. They'll have a tough task against top-seeded Ontario. Fisker Molgaard will get a taste of pressure throughout this postseason run, which should help him prepare for challenging for an NHL job in 2026-27.

Dach isn't in the lineup for Game 4 in Anaheim on Sunday due to an illness, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Dach is being replaced in the lineup by Jason Dickinson, who missed the previous two games in this series because of an undisclosed injury. Dach has recorded 15 hits while averaging 8:53 of ice time so far in the 2026 postseason. Game 5 is set for Tuesday in Edmonton.

Kozak (undisclosed) didn't finish Sunday's 6-1 win over the Bruins in Game 4, per Justin Alpert and Jourdon LaBarber of the Sabres' official site.

Kozak generated an even-strength assist and a plus-1rating in 10:59 of ice time prior to exiting in the third period Sunday. Head coach Lindy Ruff said that the team talked about Kozak returning to the game, but the Sabres elected to keep the forward out since they were up 6-0 in the final frame. Until there is an update on his status, Kozak should be considered day-to-day ahead of puck drop in Buffalo for Game 5 on Tuesday.

Dickinson (undisclosed) will suit up in Game 4 on Sunday in Anaheim, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Dickinson was sidelined for the previous two games in this series after scoring two goals on two shots in a 4-3 win in Game 1 on Monday. The 30-year-old will center the third line between Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jack Roslovic for this pivotal game in Anaheim before the series shifts back to Edmonton for Game 5 on Tuesday.

Krebs produced a goal and an assist Sunday during the Sabres' 6-1 win over the Bruins in Game 4 of their first-round series.

The 25-year-old opened the scoring early in the first period before helping to set up Alex Tuch for the Sabres' final tally in the third. Krebs has opened his playoffs with a four-game point streak, piling up two goals and five points, and he'll look to extend it in Game 5 on Tuesday as Buffalo tries to punch its ticket to the second round.

Norris (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Game 4 against Boston on Sunday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Norris remains day-to-day and will miss his second straight game. He also didn't participate in Saturday's practice. Norris hasn't earned a point in two appearances this postseason, but he has posted two shots on net, one blocked shot and six hits.

Sturm registered an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Stars in Game 4.

Sturm set up a Marcus Foligno goal in the third period. This effort ended a five-game point drought for Sturm, who has played the last two contests while both of Yakov Trenin (upper body) and Mats Zuccarello (upper body) are out of the lineup. Sturm was limited to 11 points over 49 regular-season appearances this year, and prior to this campaign, he had a total of five points in 30 career playoff outings.

Greig will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety for roughing Sean Walker during Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

The incident in question surrounds a post-whistle scrum in which Greig punched Walker while Walker was engaged with another player. The 23-year-old Greig was not penalized on the play, but the Department of Player Safety will take a look regardless. The Senators were eliminated with Saturday's loss, so if a suspension is handed down, Greig would have to serve it at the beginning of next season.
