Svechkov was assigned to AHL Milwaukee on Monday.

Svechkov produced eight goals, 17 points, 64 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and 32 hits across 52 NHL regular-season outings in 2024-25. He should be back with the Predators next year after competing in the 2025 Calder Cup Playoffs.

Roy notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Wild in Game 1.

Roy set up a Brett Howden tally at 2:28 of the third period, which ended up being the game-winner. The 28-year-old Roy has earned four goals and two assists over 10 contests in April. He's a versatile forward, but with the Golden Knights at full health to start the playoffs, Roy will likely be confined to fourth-line duties and power-play time initially. Roy had 31 points, 107 shots on net, 72 hits, 47 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 71 regular-season appearances in a similar fireman role, moving up the lineup when necessary to cover for other absences.

Hertl scored a goal on four shots, added a power-play assist and logged four hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Wild in Game 1.

Hertl has multiple points in each of his last two outings. The 31-year-old missed eight games late in the season due to a shoulder injury, but he looks healthy and should continue to play a prominent role for the Golden Knights. He crossed the 60-point mark for the fourth time in his career in 2024-25, earning 32 goals, 29 helpers, 23 power-play points, 177 shots on net and 99 hits in 73 regular-season appearances.

Dorofeyev scored a power-play goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Wild in Game 1.

Dorofeyev was the Golden Knights' team leader with 35 goals in the regular season, and he's not done scoring yet. He restored a lead for Vegas with his tally at 13:33 of the second period. The 24-year-old winger has scored in three straight contests. He saw just 13:23 of ice time Sunday and could see more sheltered minutes during the playoffs, but he should continue to be a factor on the power play, where he had 13 goals and 17 points during the regular season.

Howden scored two goals on four shots and added three hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Wild in Game 1.

Both of Howden's goals came in the third period. He struck early in the frame for what would stand as the game-winner, then added a power-play goal into an empty net in the final second. The 27-year-old earned 10 points with 19 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-7 rating over the last 17 games of the regular season, which was a career year of 23 goals and 40 points in 80 appearances. Howden was on the fourth line Sunday, but he's versatile enough to move around the lineup as necessary.

Amadio recorded an assist and three hits in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 1.

Amadio set up a Ridly Greig tally in the third period. Amadio's goal drought is up to 12 games, but he has earned five assists with 15 shots on net, 25 hits and a plus-7 rating in that span. He accounted for 27 points for the third season in a row while adding 85 shots on net, 108 hits, 44 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating across 72 regular-season contests.

Pinto notched an assist, three shots on goal and five hits in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 1.

Pinto has racked up eight points over 10 outings since the start of April. The 24-year-old opens the postseason in a third-line role, but he led all Senators forwards with 19:23 of ice time, so he'll be more of a factor than his place in the lineup suggests. The center set a career high with 37 points in 70 regular-season contests in 2024-25.

Cozens notched an assist, two shots on goal, five hits and 10 PIM in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 1.

Cozens set up a Drake Batherson tally in the first period to get the Senators on the board. The 24-year-old Cozens recorded seven points over the last seven regular-season games, and he should continue to carry some momentum while seeing second-line minutes and power-play time. He's a well-rounded option for fantasy, having posted 47 points, 188 shots on net, 205 hits, 68 PIM and a minus-17 rating over 82 regular-season appearances between Ottawa and Buffalo.

Greig scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 1.

Greig briefly cut the deficit to 4-2 in the third period before Morgan Rielly answered 45 seconds later. The 22-year-old Greig picked up 10 points over his last 13 regular-season contests as the Senators surged into the playoffs, and he looks to have kept some momentum up. He had a total of 34 points, 119 shots on net and 138 hits across 78 regular-season appearances this year.

Jarnkrok managed an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Senators in Game 1.

Jarnkrok helped out on Oliver Ekman-Larsson's opening goal at 7:09 of the first period. The 33-year-old Jarnkrok has a helper in three straight contests while sticking in a fourth-line role. The veteran forward was limited to 19 regular-season appearances, earning seven points, nine shots on net, 15 hits and nine blocked shots. He isn't expected to be a major factor on offense as long as he's confined to the bottom six.
