Durzi scored an empty-net goal, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.

Durzi scored what is likely to be the final tally of the Coyotes' history when he put the game away with his empty-netter at 15:45 of the third period. The 25-year-old defenseman finished the season with a goal and four assists over the last six contests. He had nine goals, matching his career-best total from last season, as well as a career-high 41 points, 142 shots on net, 160 blocked shots and 63 PIM over 76 outings in 2023-24. Durzi is poised to handle a top-four role and power-play duties in 2024-25.

Lindell notched an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Blues.

Lindell helped out on a Mason Marchment tally in the third period. With three assists over his last eight games, Lindell remains a source of some supporting offense as well as steady defense. The 29-year-old blueliner put up 26 points -- his most in five years -- while adding 114 shots on net, 162 blocked shots, 74 hits and a plus-17 rating in 82 regular-season outings this year.

Fleury was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.

Fleury will likely be recalled one more time Thursday ahead of the Kraken's season finale versus the Wild. After the Kraken are done, he'll likely return to the Firebirds for their AHL playoff run.

Aho will play Wednesday versus the Penguins, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Aho was initially slated to be rested for this game, but Anders Lee (personal) will now sit out instead. Aho will serve as a seventh defenseman, so it's likely his ice time will be limited anyway.

Hedman (illness) won't play Wednesday versus the Maple Leafs, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

There's no point in playing through it for Hedman, as the Lightning are locked into the first wild-card spot. Hedman will end the regular season with 13 goals, 76 points, 168 shots on net and 102 blocked shots over 78 appearances.

McCabe (rest) will be a healthy scratch Wednesday against Tampa Bay, per Luke Fox of Sportsnet.

McCabe will finish the regular season with eight goals, 28 points, 56 PIM, 219 hits and 129 blocks in 73 outings. The 30-year-old defenseman is just getting a breather and should serve in a top-four capacity in Game 1 of the playoffs.

Rielly (rest) is set to be a healthy scratch Wednesday against the Lightning, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

Rielly will conclude the regular season with seven goals and 58 points in 72 outings. After getting the season finale versus Tampa Bay off, he figures to draw back into the lineup as a member of the top pairing for Game 1 of the playoffs.

Edmundson (rest) will miss Wednesday's tilt versus Tampa Bay, per Luke Fox of Sportsnet.

Edmundson will finish the regular season with a goal and six points in 53 contests. He missed nine of 10 outings from March 26-April 13 because of injury, which is likely why the Leafs have opted to give him the night off against the Lightning.

Ginning was assigned to AHL Lehigh Valleyon Wednesday.

Ginning scored a goal in nine appearances with the Flyers in 2023-24. He also has two goals, 13 points and 82 PIM in 56 contests with Lehigh Valley. The 24-year-old forward will likely get an opportunity to fight for a bottom-six roster spot with the Flyers during next year's training camp.

Attard was moved to AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

Attard registered two assists in 12 appearances with the Flyers this year. He also has appeared in 46 outings with Lehigh Valley, collecting 10 goals and 25 points in that span. The 25-year-old might not be able to make the 2024-25 NHL roster out of training camp, but even if he falls short of that mark, Attard is likely to see time with the Flyers at various points during the campaign as an injury replacement at a minimum.
