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.

McNabb scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

McNabb tallied late in the second period to open the scoring. His goal was his first since March 9. The 33-year-old defenseman has put together a career year with 26 points, 86 shots on net, 206 blocked shots, 147 hits and a plus-19 rating over 81 appearances. He remains in a second-pairing role.

Evans provided an assist, four hits and four PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

Evans ended a 10-game point drought with the helper on Yanni Gourde's second-period tally. The 22-year-old defenseman has seen a larger role lately due to Vince Dunn (upper body) missing time late in the season. Evans is at nine points 43 shots on net, 60 hits, 36 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 35 outings. He will likely play Thursday versus the Wild and then return to AHL Coachella Valley for the Calder Cup playoffs.

Pionk registered two assists, two hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.

Pionk has six helpers and a plus-4 rating over seven contests in April. That matches his point total from all of March. The 28-year-old defenseman continues to offer steady all-around production in a top-four role. He's up to 33 points (eight on the power play), 146 shots on net, 219 hits, 115 blocked shots, 63 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 81 contests. He's earned at least 30 points in five straight seasons.

Morrissey registered two assists and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.

Morrissey has two goals and nine helpers over his last eight contests, four of which have been multi-point efforts. The star defenseman is up to 10 goals, 59 helpers, 196 shots on net, 90 hits, 103 blocked shots and a plus-34 rating through 81 outings overall. If he plays and earns a point Thursday versus the Canucks, he will secure his second straight 70-point campaign.

Jiricek was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Tuesday.

Jiricek played in the Blue Jackets' last seven games of the season, picking up just one assist in that span. He had 10 points over 43 outings at the NHL level this year, positioning him well to take a full-time job with the Blue Jackets in 2024-25.

Blankenburg was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Tuesday.

Blankenburg played versus the Hurricanes on Tuesday in the Blue Jackets' season finale. He'll now bolster the Monsters' defense corps. Blankenburg had one goal and no assists over 12 NHL appearances this season.

Hanley (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday versus the Canucks, per the NHL media site.

Hanley will miss his seventh straight game. He has one more chance to return before the end of the campaign, as the Flames host the Sharks on Thursday.

Chabot (upper body) won't finish Tuesday's game versus the Bruins.

Chabot will have all offseason to heal from the injury, as the tilt against Boston is the Senators' season finale. The defenseman has battled injuries all campaign, which ultimately limited him to 30 points in 51 appearances.

Broberg was promoted from AHL Bakersfield on Tuesday.

Broberg's recall gives the Oilers an additional depth option if they want to rest players for the final two games. The defenseman failed to record a point over his first 10 NHL outings this season.
