NHL Player News

Stankoven (undisclosed) is expected to play against the Flyers on Monday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Stankoven will see time on the first line and top power-play unit after missing Saturday's 4-1 win over Utah. He has 21 goals and 21 assists in 79 outings this campaign.

Dickinson (leg) won't play against Colorado on Monday, Tom Gazzola of Edmonton Sports Talk reports.

Dickinson will miss his second straight game, and it's unclear if he will be back in the fold for Thursday's regular-season finale against Vancouver. He has supplied seven goals and 17 points in 64 games between Edmonton and Chicago this season.

Eriksson Ek (rest) won't play in Monday's game against the Blues, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Eriksson Ek sat out Saturday's game against Nashville for rest purposes, and he'll miss a second consecutive matchup Monday. It's not yet clear whether he'll suit up for Tuesday's regular-season finale against the Ducks, but he should at least return to action for the start of the playoffs.

Faksa (lower body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against Toronto on Monday, per Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

Following a 23-game absence, Faksa will return to a fourth-line role against the Maple Leafs on Monday. He has chipped in two goals, 17 points, 33 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and 75 hits across 56 appearances this season.

Cizikas scored a goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Canadiens.

Cizikas found the back of the net at the 8:45 mark of the third period with a wrister, but his goal couldn't spark a comeback as the Islanders were officially knocked out of playoff contention with this loss. This was Cizikas' first goal since March 28, and he has 10 goals on the season. However, he's not expected to carry a ton of fantasy appeal ahead of Tuesday's regular-season finale against the Hurricanes as a bottom-six forward who has scored just three goals in his last 21 outings dating back to the beginning of March.

Moore (lower body) won't play against Buffalo on Monday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Despite being a full participant in Monday's morning skate, Moore will miss his 18th straight game. Still, it's unclear if he will be ready to return in Wednesday's regular-season finale against San Jose. Moore has five goals, 19 points and 57 shots on net in 51 NHL appearances this season.

McCann is dealing with a lower-body injury that will sideline him for the final three games of the season, the team announced Monday.

McCann has already reached the 20-goal mark for the fifth straight year, despite having played in just 52 games for the Kraken this season. Still, with all the time missed due to injury, the 29-year-old winger will post his lowest point total (40) since the COVID-shortened 2020-21 campaign. McCann is under contract for the upcoming season and should remain a fixture in Seattle's top six if he can stay healthy.

Nazar (mouth) is expected to be available for Monday's game against the Sabres, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

Nazar exited Saturday's game against the Blues after taking a puck to the face, but he should be available two days later despite losing two teeth in the incident. Across his last 10 appearances, he's recorded four goals, three assists, eight hits, five blocked shots and two PIM while averaging 17:02 of ice time.

Suzuki scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Suzuki not only extended his point streak to four games, but he also crossed the 100-point threshold when he scored his 29th goal of the season at the 15:56 mark of the second period. Not happy with that, the star playmaker also set up the team's second goal when Ivan Demidov scored on the power play. With one game left in the regular season, Suzuki is up to 101 points (29 goals, 72 assists) in 81 appearances. He'll have one final chance to reach the 30-goal plateau for a third straight year in the regular-season finale against the Flyers on Tuesday.

Bolduc scored a goal and added an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders. He also recorded five hits, a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating.

Bolduc was coming off back-to-back healthy scratches, but he returned to the lineup with a strong showing, posting his first multi-point performance since March 26 in a 2-1 win over Columbus. That said, that was also the last time he had recorded a point of any nature, and as a bottom-six forward, Bolduc isn't expected to have a ton of upside in most formats any time soon. He has some appeal in deep leagues that reward physical play, assuming he can stay in the lineup.
