Nystrom was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Wednesday.

Nystrom suited up in 38 regular-season games for the Hurricanes in 2025-26, recording one goal, nine assists and 10 hits while averaging 15:11 of ice time. With Nystrom heading back to the minors, Carolina should be at full strength heading into Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Legault was assigned to AHL Chicago on Wednesday.

Legault averaged 16:20 of ice time across four appearances with the Hurricanes down the stretch. He didn't post a point while collecting five PIM, four hits and four blocked shots. He'll head back to the minors now that the Hurricanes' regular season has concluded, and he should see some playing time for the Wolves before competing in the Calder Cup Playoffs.

Seeley was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Wednesday.

Seeley made his NHL debut Tuesday. He didn't record a point or a shot, but he was credited with two blocks across 15:12 of ice time in a 2-1 win over the Islanders. The 23-year-old defenseman has 10 goals and 22 points in 67 AHL appearances with Chicago this campaign. He'll reunite with the Wolves as they gear up for the Calder Cup Playoffs.

McDonald notched an assist, four PIM, five hits and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.

McDonald made his NHL debut Tuesday and looked good, making an impact in multiple areas during his 15:11 of ice time. The 23-year-old defenseman figures to head back to AHL Lehigh Valley as the minor-league team makes a late push for a playoff spot. If that falls short, he'll likely be among the Flyers' Black Aces during their NHL playoff run.

Lohrei notched an assist and went plus-4 in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Lohrei ended a seven-game point drought. He was able to play in the last five contests of the regular season after a four-game absence due to an upper-body injury. Lohrei finished the regular season with 26 points, 72 shots on net, 93 blocked shots, 30 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-17 rating over 73 appearances while mainly playing in a bottom-four role.

Doughty notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Doughty ended a six-game point drought with the helper. He's gone 14 contests without a goal, earning five assists, a plus-5 rating, 23 shots, 18 hits and 13 blocked shots in that span. For the season, the veteran defenseman has struggled to the tune of 23 points, 100 shots, 75 blocks, 49 hits, 38 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 71 appearances.

Pettersson scored a goal and added four hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings.

Pettersson ended an 11-game point drought with a tally at 9:21 of the first period. He's gotten a chance to play regularly in a bottom-four role lately, but there are still plenty of things for him to work on. The 22-year-old defenseman is at three goals, 10 points, 45 shots on net, 134 hits, 83 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-14 rating through 69 appearances this season.

Buium scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings.

Buium tallied for the first time since Jan. 23 versus the Devils. In that 24-game drought, he picked up five assists with a minus-17 rating, 23 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and 23 PIM. Buium has seen steady top-four minutes lately, as the Canucks have had nothing to lose by testing him in a big role. Through 75 appearances between Vancouver and Minnesota, the 20-year-old blueliner has six goals, 26 points (13 on the power play), 73 shots on net, 52 blocks, 37 PIM and a minus-33 rating.

Mailloux scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Penguins.

Mailloux got the Blues back within a goal in the middle of the second period, and he also helped out on Dylan Holloway's empty-netter in the third. The goal was Mailloux's first since March 4 versus the Kraken. While the offense was only sporadic, Mailloux regularly played in a top-four role after the Olympic break, earning nine points and a plus-10 rating over his last 24 appearances. He's up to five goals, nine assists, 83 shots on net, 92 hits, 56 blocked shots, 48 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 67 contests this season.

Bonk scored a goal and added an assist Tuesday in a 4-2 win over Montreal. It was his NHL debut.

Bonk is the first Flyers defenseman to score a goal in his NHL debut and the third to have a multi-point effort. Gord Murphy (1988-89) and Behn Wilson (1978-79) are the others. Bonk came into Tuesday with six goals and 13 assists in 44 games in his rookie season with AHL Lehigh Valley.
