NHL Player News

Salo, Julien Gauthier, Brian Pinho, Dennis Cholowski and Karson Kuhlman were recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

All five players will serve as extra depth options for the Islanders during the postseason. Salo produced 24 points in 68 appearances at the AHL level this season, but he did not see any NHL action.

Broberg was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

It appears the Oilers will be juggling Broberg back and forth between leagues for the foreseeable future. It's unclear if he'll be in consideration for any NHL action during the playoffs, barring an injury to one of the team's blueliners.

Myers (undisclosed) won't play in Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Predators, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Myers has had success in a top-four role this season, so it's notable he's out of the lineup for this contest. The Canucks have not specified a reason for his absence. Noah Juulsen will draw into the lineup for Myers, who will aim to return Friday for Game 3.

Girard (concussion) won't play in Game 2 versus the Jets on Tuesday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

Girard was deemed close to returning at the beginning of the playoffs, but he'll miss his fourth straight contest Tuesday. His next chance to draw into the lineup is Game 3 in Colorado on Friday. Once cleared to play, Girard will likely occupy a bottom-four role.

Mintyukov's lower-body injury is a bone bruise that kept him out of the last eight contests of 2023-24, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Mintyukov sustained the injury on a Jakob Silfverberg shot in a game versus the Oilers on March 30. Mintyukov is expected to be recovered in time for the 2024-25 campaign.

Fleury (undisclosed) won't play in Game 2 versus the Panthers on Tuesday, according to Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site.

Fleury will miss his seventh straight contest since April 6 due to a collision with a referee. He registered one goal, four assists, 40 blocked shots and 31 hits in 24 outings during the 2023-24 regular season.

Coghlan was called up from AHL Springfield on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Coghlan's season with Springfield is over, so he'll now serve as defensive depth for the Hurricanes during their playoff run. He had three shots on goal, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in his lone NHL appearance this season.

Broberg was loaned to AHL Bakersfield on Tuesday.

Broberg has been up and down from the minors recently. He was a healthy scratch for Edmonton's 7-4 win over the Kings on Monday in Game 1. With Bakersfield set to open a best-of-three playoff series versus Ontario on Wednesday, Broberg may stay in the AHL to see some game action.

Hague -- who missed the last eight minutes of Game 1 versus the Stars on Monday -- will be reevaluated prior to Game 2 on Wednesday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

While Hague's potential absence is unlikely to impact the Golden Knights' offensive game after going pointless in his past 20 outings, he does add a level of physicality with 60 hits over that stretch. If Hague can't play Wednesday, coach Bruce Cassidy will have the choice between Alec Martinez or Ben Hutton for the third pairing.

Forbort (undisclosed) likely won't be an option for Game 3 against Toronto on Wednesday, per Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.

Forbort, who is day-to-day, is still listed on long-term injured reserve. He will travel with the team to Toronto, so a return to action for Game 4 on Saturday could be a possibility. Andrew Peeke (finger) is week-to-week after being injured in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs, which could lead to Parker Wotherspoon or Mason Lohrei getting into Wednesday's lineup.
