Coghlan was sent to AHL Springfield on Wednesday.

Coghlan was summoned Tuesday and logged 17:59 of ice time in that evening's 6-3 loss to Columbus. He had a minus-2 rating, three shots, one hit and three blocks in that defeat. The 26-year-old defenseman has 16 goals and 41 points in 59 AHL outings in 2023-24.

Hughes finished his rookie season with nine goals and 47 points while dressing for all 82 games in 2023-24.

Hughes showed off his puck-moving skills on the power play, notching 25 points on the man advantage. Similar to his brothers Quinn Hughes and Jack Hughes (shoulder), Luke is highly skilled but undersized. The 184-pound blueliner was bullied in the defensive zone to the tune of a minus-25 rating, but fantasy managers will be willing to overlook those shortcomings from the fourth overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, especially if Hughes proves capable of sustaining his point-per-game pace from the last 14 games of 2023-24 over a longer stretch.

Werenski produced two goals and two assists in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.

The blueliner had at least one point in each period and helped set up Luca Del Bel Belluz for the 20-year-old's first career goal as well as Johnny Gaudreau's game-winner. Werenski had five multi-point efforts in his final 14 games of the campaign, and his big performance in the Blue Jackets' finale gave him his sixth career season season with double-digit goals. The 26-year-old wraps up 2023-24 with 11 goals and 57 points in 70 contests.

Montour scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Maple Leafs.

Montour capped the scoring in Florida's four-goal second period, beating Joseph Woll with a slap shot from the point to extend the Panthers' lead to 4-2. It's the first point since April 1 for Montour -- he came into Tuesday's finale with just one point in his last 10 games. Overall, the 30-year-old blueliner will wrap up the regular season with eight goals and 33 points across 66 games, a significant step back from his 73-point campaign in 2022-23.

Johnson scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.

Johnson got the Flyers on the board midway through the second period, tipping an Egor Zamula shot past Charlie Lindgren to tie the game 1-1. The 36-year-old Johnson picked up two goals and three points in the last four games of the campaign after going scoreless in his first 13 contests with the Flyers. Johnson will wrap up the season with five goals and six points across 67 games between the Flyers and Sabres.

Seider scored a goal in the regular-season finale Tuesday, a 5-4 shootout win over the Canadiens.

Winged Wheel fans won't get to see how Seider would fare in the playoffs, at least not this year, as Detroit was eliminated from playoff contention by virtue of the Capitals defeating the Flyers on Tuesday. Still, it was another strong regular-season campaign for the fiery young defenseman who just cashed out the balance of his entry-level contract with the Wings. Seider registered a career-high nine goals to complement 33 assists in 2023-24, matching his point total from last season. He remained a force on the man advantage based on three goals and 14 assists, and his defensive contributions were rock solid as well, as Seider blocked 213 shots and delivered 210 hits. Risk-averse fantasy managers will likely place a premium on Seider during next year's drafts since the durable defenseman has yet to miss a game.

Gostisbehere registered six shots on goal and two assists in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Canadiens.

He was the primary distributor on Joe Veleno's second-period goal, and Gostisbehere found David Perron for the game-tying tally with just five seconds remaining in regulation. The Red Wings earned the win they desperately needed, but the Capitals defeating the Flyers minutes beforehand caused the Wings to fall just short of a playoff berth. Gostisbehere ended up with 10 goals, 46 assists and a whopping 29 power-play points through 81 games in his debut campaign in Detroit. He's set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Solovyov notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks.

This was Solovyov's first point in three outings during this stint on the NHL roster. The 23-year-old defenseman has three helpers, eight shots on net, 10 hits and 14 blocked shots over nine appearances in his first taste of the NHL this season. Solovyov will likely have a chance to win a full-time job in training camp in the fall.

Pachal scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks.

Pachal broke up Thatcher Demko's shutout bid midway through the third period. The defenseman has two points over his last three games, but Pachal has struggled to generate consistent offense even with more playing time as a Flame. For the season, he has two goals, seven points, 51 shots on net, 130 hits, 63 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 49 appearances between Calgary and Vegas.

Myers scored a shorthanded goal on three shots, added an assist, blocked three shots and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

Myers extended his point streak to four games with his first multi-point effort since Dec. 17. His tally was his fifth of the season, two of which have been shorthanded. The 34-year-old defenseman is up to 29 points, 92 shots on net, 106 hits, 133 blocked shots, 77 PIM and a plus-18 rating. If he plays Thursday versus the Jets, he'll have a chance at his first 30-point campaign since 2018-19.
